A really easy way to explore central Washington is to search for an RV in Grant County, which is centrally located in the state. This county is home to Potholes State Park, which is a great destination to visit when you are staying in the area. Potholes State Park is a very unique, 773-acre park that has over 6,000 feet of freshwater shorelines for guests to enjoy. The park was originally formed after an Ice-Age event carved chunks out of the land, creating hundreds of tiny islands that are surrounded by small, pothole like lakes.

Potholes State Park is a pleasant place to enjoy some state park RV camping, and since it is centrally located in the state, there is easy access to many nearby man-made and natural attractions. Although both are a decent drive away, Potholes State Park is on the imaginary line between Spokane and Yakima, and a bit closer to the park is Richland, which is just to the south.

Getting Outdoors

Potholes State Park camping is a great way to enjoy year-round fishing. The Potholes Reservoir, which the state park borders, is home to an abundance of yellow perch, largemouth bass, rainbow trout, walleye, and crappie fish. There are many different places from which a boat can be launched, and boat rental services in the area make it easy to get on the water. Be sure to get your fishing licenses sorted out before going fishing, however, since the fines aren’t worth the risk.

In addition to fishing, the Potholes Reservoir is also a great place to enjoy other water activities, especially in the heat of the summer. The summer weather in eastern Washington can be very hot, and when this is the case, vacationers can easily enjoy a dip in the water. Swimming isn’t the only thing allowed, however, so feel free to break out the water skis, kayaks, and paddle boards until your heart's content.

There are over three miles of trails to hike in the park, and many of them are great paths that lead to optimal bird watching areas. Guests who love bird watching will definitely want to rent a camper near Potholes State Park since there is a diverse collection of species that can be observed. Throughout the year there are plenty of different species that guests can see, including everything from sandhill cranes to waterfowl flocks, raptors, owls, and more.
