Although there were Native Americans and pioneers living around the area for many years prior, the significance of Wanapum State Park was not fully realized until 1932. Professor George Beck taught geology at Washington Normal School in Ellensburg (now Central Washington University). He frequently would take his students on trips to regions with known geological features and instruct them to search the area for unusual features. It was on one of these trips that Beck found a tree log made out of stone. A few short years later, in 1935, the area was established as a state park.

Getting Outdoors
In addition to learning about the long-extinct forests that once lived millions of years ago, Wanapum State Park, which covers a little over 7,100 acres, has three miles of established, ADA compliant trails. While that doesn’t sound like much, there are a few additional miles of dirt trails winding through the scrubby high-desert forest and open, dry meadows. Hunt for petroglyphs made by ancient Native American civilizations who once resided in the area thousands of years before. Wild sheep occasionally meander into the park in search of green forage.
Camping at Wanapum State Park
One of the main reasons to camp with an RV is to skip the hotel and wake up to a glorious scene. Wanapum State Park campground may tick off that box as the campground is set atop a high hill overlooking the river. Wanapum State Park campground has 50 gravel sites with hookups.
Exploring the Area
One of the many draws to the area is the concerts at The Gorge Amphitheater. Named by the Wall Street Journal as one of the most scenic venues in the world, the outdoor theater hosts several bands, concerts, and other entertainment during the summer months. Some of the past performers have included Dave Matthew Band, Mumford & Sons, and Nghtmre Slander. Finding RV camping accommodations on weekends in the area can be a challenge, so make your reservations well in advance.

We had an amazing experience renting Susan & Rick’s trailer! They were easy to work with and very communicative. They gave us a great walk through on all the different amenities and features before we left and were so helpful! The trailer was very clean and well stocked - far beyond our expectations! Definitely recommend and we will definitely be renting from them again!
