Let's start with a few questions to narrow down your options.


Known as the county seat of Cowlitz County, Kelso is a charming city with lots of history. In fact, Cowlitz County is named for the Cowlitz native people, who have inhabited southern Washington for millennia. After the first settlers and explorers from back east made their way to Washington, Kelso was ideally situated to become a hub for both the timber and fishing industries. It developed a reputation for its gambling halls, saloons, and brothels, and was commonly referred to as “Little Chicago”.
Now, Kelso has shed its reputation for debauchery and recreated itself as a peaceful, pleasant city steeped in history and surrounded by gorgeous natural scenery. Kelso’s motto is lovingly referred to as the “City of Friendly People”, making it a delightful vacation destination. Interstate 5 runs through the town so you can reach Portland or Seattle in a matter of hours when you rent an RV in Kelso. The spectacular Washington coast on the Pacific Ocean and a handful of national and state parks are scattered throughout the Evergreen State, and Kelso’s convenient location enables vacationers to easily travel to them all.
