Rock Creek Park & Campground

Campground in Stevenson, WA • 101 RV Sites

In Stevenson, Washington—the county seat of Skamania County on the Washington shore of the Columbia River in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, one of the Pacific Northwest's most spectacular and most accessible landscapes—Rock Creek Park & Campground at 710 SW Rock Creek Drive provides a Skamania County-operated campground in the forested surroundings of Rock Creek's wooded corridor, with full hookup sites, a covered picnic shelter, play structure, open multi-use fields, WiFi, and the immediate access to the Columbia River Gorge's extraordinary inventory of waterfalls, hiking trails, wind sports, and geological scenery that makes the Gorge one of the most rewarding outdoor recreation destinations in the American West. The park's forested, creek-adjacent character provides the natural setting that makes the Columbia Gorge experience genuinely immersive rather than merely scenic. Full hookup sites accommodate RVs with water, electric, and sewer service in a campground operated by Skamania County with the practical community-park infrastructure that includes a covered shelter for picnicking in the Gorge's famously rainy spring weather, a play structure for younger guests, open multi-use fields for group activities, and clean restroom facilities. WiFi service covers the property for guests who need connectivity during their Gorge exploration, and the pet-friendly policy (leash required) accommodates the traveling dogs that make Columbia Gorge camping a regular Pacific Northwest family tradition. Wildlife sightings—the deer, osprey, bald eagles, and river otters that inhabit the Gorge's riparian corridors—are common from the park's wooded creek setting. Stevenson sits on the north bank of the Columbia River at river mile 148 in the section of the Gorge where the river has cut through the Cascade Range in a canyon walled by 3,000-foot basalt escarpments on both sides—a geological consequence of the Columbia's ancient precedence over the rising Cascade Range that created one of the most visually dramatic river corridors in North America. The town's Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center Museum documents the natural and cultural history of this place from the Missoula Floods that shaped the canyon's landscape through the Indigenous communities who have lived here for thousands of years and the pioneer era of the Oregon Trail and the Columbia River steamboat trade. The Columbia River Gorge's waterfalls, concentrated on the Oregon side along the Historic Columbia River Highway, include Multnomah Falls—at 620 feet, the tallest waterfall in Oregon and one of the most visited natural attractions in the Pacific Northwest—alongside Crown Point's Vista House, Latourell Falls, and the dozen additional falls accessible from the waterfall highway within 30 minutes of the campground. Beacon Rock State Park on the Washington shore, four miles west of Stevenson, protects the 848-foot basalt monolith rising directly from the Columbia's north bank—the second largest monolith in North America and a hiking destination with panoramic Gorge views from the summit. Rock Creek Park & Campground operates seasonally in the Columbia Gorge's camping window, with spring bringing the Gorge's famous wildflower displays and the waterfalls at their maximum volume from snowmelt. Summer brings the windsurfing and kiteboarding culture to the Hood River, 15 miles east, where the Gorge's east wind creates world-class conditions that have made Hood River the windsurfing capital of the United States. Fall color in the Gorge's bigleaf maple forest produces one of the Pacific Northwest's finest seasonal displays in October. Reserve your site at Rock Creek Park and let the Columbia River Gorge deliver the cascade waterfalls, basalt cliffs, and river panoramas of the Pacific Northwest's most compelling natural corridor.
