Campgrounds near North Bonneville
North Bonneville sits on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, directly across from Bonneville Dam and a short drive from the trails, waterfalls and river access that define the western Gorge. RV travelers can base out of full-hookup sites within walking distance of town or pick up a riverside spot a few miles in either direction along Highway 14 and Interstate 84.
Lewis and Clark Campground and RV Park sits just west of town off Highway 14 and is the closest option to downtown North Bonneville. A few miles west, Woodard Creek - Beacon Rock State Park offers 2 standard sites and 5 full hookup sites accommodating RVs and combinations of 40 feet or less in length.
Across the Bridge of the Gods on the Oregon side, Port of Cascade Locks Campground is open year-round, with 16 sites, of which 12 have water and power hook-ups and 4 have no hook-ups. Farther west, Ainsworth State Park has 40 full-hookup sites and anchors the eastern end of the Historic Columbia River Highway. Cascade Locks / Portland East KOA Holiday rounds out the options with a private-park setup geared to families.
Things to do near North Bonneville
Hikers can ascend the Beacon Rock Trail built directly on the side of the rock with 52 switchbacks overlooking the Columbia River Gorge. From the upper trailheads at Beacon Rock State Park, routes lead to Little Beacon Rock and the Hamilton Mountain Summit, starting out surrounded by Douglas fir old-growth to reach Rodney Falls, Hardy Falls and Pool of the Winds.
The Bonneville Lock and Dam Visitor Center, fish ladders and Bonneville Fish Hatchery are minutes from town. Walking the Bridge of the Gods carries the Pacific Crest Trail across the Columbia River for a small toll. West of town along the Historic Columbia River Highway, the Waterfall Corridor strings together Latourell, Bridal Veil, Wahkeena, and Horsetail Falls, along with Multnomah and Oneonta.
On the water, the Columbia draws boating, kayaking, windsurfing and salmon and steelhead fishing, with boat launches at Beacon Rock and Marine Park.

The Gorge has a clear wet season and a clear dry season, and that shapes when most campgrounds operate. The Ainsworth campground is open mid March through October 31. The Woodard Creek campsites are open year round, while the park's main campground closes during the winter season. Lewis and Clark Campground and RV Park stays open year-round. Port of Cascade Locks Campground offers year-round RV, trailer, and tent sites with peak season (Memorial Day through Labor Day weekends) access to shared restroom, shower, and RV dump facilities.
Spring brings wildflowers along with the likelihood of rain; things usually dry off and warm up by late June, and the weather tends to stay relatively warm and dry until mid to late September. Summer is the busiest and driest stretch, with strong westerly winds funneling through the Gorge most afternoons.
Fall delivers cooler nights, fewer crowds and color along the trails, then transitions into a long wet, gray winter. The south and southeast faces of Beacon Rock close annually on Feb. 1 and tentatively reopen in mid July to protect peregrine falcon nesting.

Jason from the start was great to work with. The unit was newer and everything worked. I did have a few questions while on my trip and he always texted back within minutes. Easy pick and drop off. I will rent from him again. Thanks

How to book a campsite near North Bonneville
Washington and Oregon use different reservation systems, so plan by which side of the river suits the trip. For Washington State Parks, including Beacon Rock, online reservations can be made up to nine months in advance at washington.goingtocamp.com. Sites at Woodard Creek and some sites at the Main Campground are reservable between May 15 and Sept 15; the rest of the year, they are first-come, first-served.
For Oregon State Parks, including Ainsworth, book reservations up to 6 months in advance at oregonstateparks.reserveamerica.com. At Port of Cascade Locks Campground, reservations are only taken for May 15 through September 15, booked directly through the Port.
Lewis and Clark Campground and RV Park and the KOA Holiday in Cascade Locks take direct bookings through their own websites or by phone. For summer weekends and holiday stretches, secure a site as soon as the booking window opens.
What to expect at North Bonneville campgrounds
Most riverside sites in this corridor sit close to the BNSF and Union Pacific main lines. The sites are right next to the highway and train tracks, with trains running every 30 minutes or so, and Ainsworth is near Interstate 84 and a working rail line that operates day and night. Light sleepers should pack earplugs and request sites set back from the tracks when possible.
Note that there is a 12-foot vehicle clearance to enter the park due to an overhead railroad trestle at Port of Cascade Locks, a hard limit for taller motorhomes and toy haulers. Most Gorge campgrounds are wooded, with paved or gravel pads, picnic tables, fire rings, flush toilets and hot showers.
Cell coverage is uneven and afternoon winds through the Gorge can be strong, so set awnings cautiously. Black bears and deer are present; store food in the rig.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near North Bonneville, WA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in North Bonneville, WA?
RV rental in North Bonneville is one of the best values in the Pacific Northwest, since you skip the inflated prices of Portland and Hood River while staying minutes from the Columbia River Gorge. On RVezy, expect roughly $95 to $175 per night for travel trailers, $135 to $225 for Class C motorhomes, and $85 to $140 for campervans, with Class A coaches running higher. The smartest way to score a cheap RV rental in North Bonneville is to book midweek (Sunday through Thursday) and travel in May or late September when the gorge is glorious but demand drops. Pro tip: filter for Instant Book listings and bundle multi-night stays, since many hosts offer weekly discounts.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=North%20Bonneville%2C%20WashingtonDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Washington State?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Washington for any motorhome or trailer under 26,001 pounds, which covers virtually every RV on RVezy. No commercial driver's license (CDL) and no special endorsement required. You'll need to be 25 or older with a valid license, and RVezy verifies your ID through the platform during booking, so the process takes just a few minutes. Visiting from abroad? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) and you're set. Most first-time renters are surprised how simple it is to book a motorhome rental in North Bonneville and hit the Columbia River Gorge the same day.
dol.wa.gov/driver-licenses-and-permits/commercial-driver-licenses-cdl/do-i-need-cdlWhat protection and roadside assistance comes with my RVezy booking?
Every RV rental in North Bonneville booked through RVezy automatically includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can cross Beacon Rock or the Bridge of the Gods knowing you are covered. You choose your protection level at checkout based on how much peace of mind you want (this is not set by the host), and the plan covers most physical damage to the RV during your trip. If a tire blows on WA-14 or the battery dies at a trailhead, one call gets help dispatched. It is not traditional auto insurance, but it removes the biggest worry most first-time renters have. Book with confidence and focus on the gorge views instead.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Columbia Gorge plans change?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy (not individual hosts) sets the cancellation policy, and it includes a money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in your North Bonneville RV trip without second-guessing. After the grace period, refund eligibility depends on how far out you cancel before your trip start date. The policy is handled platform-wide, so you will not see different rules on different listings. If your host cancels, RVezy provides a refund or travel credit. Pro tip: book early to lock in the best rigs near Beacon Rock, knowing you have a cushion if life happens.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in North Bonneville?
Yes, pet-friendly RV rental in North Bonneville is easy to find on RVezy: flip the Pet-Friendly filter and you will see plenty of hosts who welcome dogs. Once you arrive, your pup has it made. Beacon Rock State Park allows leashed dogs on most trails, including the iconic switchback summit hike, and the Discovery Trail loop right through town is a flat, paved dog walk with Bigfoot sculptures along the way. Lewis and Clark Campground and RV Park also welcomes pets in designated areas. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet fees, and bring a tie-out since most campgrounds require dogs leashed at the site.
parks.wa.gov/find-parks/state-parks/beacon-rock-state-parkCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in North Bonneville?
Yes, RV delivery in North Bonneville is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-timers who do not want to drive a big rig through the gorge. Many local hosts will deliver to Beacon Rock State Park, Lewis and Clark Campground and RV Park on Evergreen Drive, or even your private rental cabin nearby. They will level the rig, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system before they leave. Use the Delivery filter when searching, then message the host with your exact campsite number. It turns your trip into a true vacation: arrive, unpack, and start hiking Hamilton Mountain.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008794-Delivery-optionsHow far can I travel from North Bonneville on an RV trip?
You are perfectly positioned for an epic Pacific Northwest RV road trip from North Bonneville. Portland is about 45 miles west (roughly an hour), Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument is roughly 60 miles north, Hood River sits about 25 miles east on WA-14, Mount Rainier National Park is about 150 miles northeast, and the Oregon Coast at Cannon Beach is around 130 miles west. Mileage policies vary by host (typically 100 to 150 free miles per night), and some listings offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is gold for longer loops. Filter by unlimited mileage on RVezy and ask the host about overage rates upfront.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=North%20Bonneville%2C%20WashingtonWhere are the best campgrounds near North Bonneville for RVs?
The best campgrounds near North Bonneville give you full hookups within minutes of the gorge's biggest hits. Beacon Rock State Park (about 3 miles west on WA-14) offers RV-friendly sites with utility hookups, open year-round, with a sani-dump on-site. Lewis and Clark Campground and RV Park on Evergreen Drive has full-hookup sites with showers and a dump station right in town. Across the river in Oregon, Cascade Locks KOA and Ainsworth State Park add more options within 10 miles. For a quieter base, Gorge Base Camp RV Park in nearby Stevenson has big-rig sites. Reserve Beacon Rock through the Washington State Parks reservation system, since it fills up fast.
parks.wa.gov/find-parks/state-parks/beacon-rock-state-parkWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip in North Bonneville?
North Bonneville is a true year-round destination, but the sweet spot for RV camping in North Bonneville is mid-April through late October, when daytime highs run from the mid-60s in spring to the low 80s in July and August. Spring brings roaring waterfalls and wildflowers on Hamilton Mountain; fall delivers crisp 60-degree days and golden bigleaf maples along the gorge. Summer is warmest and busiest, so book early. Winters are mild here compared to most of Washington (lows in the mid-30s, with occasional snow), and Bonneville Hot Springs plus uncrowded trails make a January trip surprisingly magical. Local insider tip: visit in late May for peak waterfall flow before the summer crowds arrive.
weather.gov/pqr/I've never driven an RV before. Is North Bonneville a good place to start?
It really is, and your host has your back. North Bonneville is a small, quiet town off WA-14 with minimal traffic and gentle gorge highways rather than steep mountain passes, so it's a forgiving area for your first time renting an RV. Every RVezy host does a full walkthrough at pickup covering propane, slide-outs, leveling, dumping, and driving tips, and you can text them during the trip if anything pops up. If you're still nervous, choose a Class B campervan or a small Class C under 25 feet, which handle like a big van. Pro tip: practice a few left turns and reverse maneuvers in the wide parking lot at Bonneville Dam Visitor Center before heading out.
northbonneville.net/visitors/What happens if something breaks down during my trip?
You are never stranded. Every RV rental in North Bonneville booked through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so a flat tire on WA-14, a dead battery at Beacon Rock, or a propane issue at your campsite is one phone call away from a fix. RVezy's support team is also reachable for booking or platform questions, and your host is just a message away for quirks specific to their rig. Save both numbers in your phone before pickup. Cell service is solid through most of the gorge, but it gets patchy deeper into Gifford Pinchot National Forest, so download offline maps as a backup.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I drive my North Bonneville RV rental into Oregon or up to Canada?
Yes, interstate travel is built into the North Bonneville RV trip experience: Oregon is literally across the Bridge of the Gods (about 4 miles south in Cascade Locks), and your RVezy protection plan covers travel throughout the United States. A classic loop runs WA-14 east to Hood River, crosses to Oregon, then returns west on I-84 past Multnomah Falls. Travel to Canada may be allowed depending on the host and protection coverage, so message the host before booking if you want to extend toward Vancouver, BC. Important: travel to Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because protection coverage does not extend there. Stick to the US and Canada, and you have endless gorgeous routes.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat about fuel costs and MPG for an RV road trip from North Bonneville?
Budgeting fuel is straightforward once you know the math. Campervans (Class B) typically get 18 to 22 MPG, Class C motorhomes run 10 to 14 MPG, Class A coaches around 7 to 10 MPG, and trucks pulling travel trailers land near 10 to 13 MPG. Gas prices in Skamania County tend to run slightly above the Washington state average, so most renters fuel up cheaper in Cascade Locks, Oregon (no sales tax on goods, plus full-serve pumps) or in Vancouver, WA before heading east. For a 3-day, 200-mile loop in a Class C, expect roughly $80 to $130 in fuel. Pro tip: top off in Stevenson before heading deeper into the gorge, fuel stops thin out east of Hood River.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near North Bonneville?
For the gorge's most coveted sites, earlier is better. Beacon Rock State Park RV sites can be reserved up to 9 months ahead through the Washington State Parks reservation system and sell out quickly for summer weekends. Lewis and Clark Campground and RV Park typically books 2 to 4 months out in peak season but often has midweek openings. Cascade Locks KOA and Ainsworth State Park (Oregon side) follow similar timelines, with Oregon State Parks reservable 6 months in advance. Pro tip: if you strike out, set a cancellation alert with a service like Campnab, or aim for Sunday-through-Thursday arrivals, which open up regularly even in July.
parks.wa.gov/passes-permits/reservationsWhat are the driving conditions like around North Bonneville?
Driving conditions around North Bonneville are surprisingly RV-friendly, especially compared to mountain passes elsewhere in Washington. WA-14 (the Lewis and Clark Highway) is a two-lane scenic route with gentle grades, well-marked pullouts, and stunning Columbia River views the whole way. Watch for two location-specific things: strong west-east winds in the gorge (especially near Cape Horn and Hood River, where gusts can make high-profile RVs squirrely) and occasional freight trains at rail crossings near town. Avoid driving at sunrise or sunset eastbound, since the sun glares straight down the gorge. Snow is rare at this elevation but possible December through February, so check WSDOT before heading out.
wsdot.com/travel/real-time/mapWhat amenities will I find at campgrounds around North Bonneville?
Local campgrounds are well-equipped for RV camping in North Bonneville. Lewis and Clark Campground and RV Park offers full hookups, potable water, an on-site dump station, hot showers, laundry, and flush toilets. Beacon Rock State Park has RV sites with utility hookups, showers, and a sani-dump available to registered campers (a Discover Pass is included with your camping fee). For dumping outside your campground, the Cascade Locks Marine Park has a public dump station about 5 miles south. Pro tip: fill fresh water before leaving your host or at the campground spigot, since water sources thin out fast once you head into Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
parks.wa.gov/find-parks/state-parks/beacon-rock-state-parkWhat's actually inside the RVs available in North Bonneville?
RVezy rentals in North Bonneville come stocked for the gorge lifestyle. Expect a real bed (queen is standard, plus convertible dinette or bunks), a kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, a wet or dry bathroom with toilet and shower, climate control (furnace plus AC), and seatbelts for everyone riding. Most listings include a generator or solar setup for off-grid stays at Panther Creek or dispersed sites in Gifford Pinchot. Wi-Fi and TV vary by host, so check the amenities list on each listing or message the host. Pro tip: ask whether the rig has heated holding tanks if you're booking outside summer; nights along the Columbia can dip below freezing as early as October.
fs.usda.gov/giffordpinchotWhat add-ons and options can I get with my North Bonneville RV rental?
Hosts offer fantastic add-ons that make your trip easier. Common extras include camp chairs and outdoor tables ($5 to $15 per trip), bedding and linen packages ($25 to $75), kitchen kits with cookware ($20 to $50), generators ($10 to $30 per day), bike racks, kayak/SUP mounts (huge near the windsurfing capital of Hood River), and pet packages. Pickup and dropoff are typically at the host's home or a meeting point in Skamania County, with delivery to campgrounds usually $2 to $4 per mile. Mileage policies generally allow 100 to 150 free miles per night with $0.30 to $0.50 per overage mile. Review the listing's full add-on menu before you book and bundle everything in one message to the host.
northbonneville.net/visitors/How does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure: you pay through the RVezy platform when you book (never directly to a host), which keeps everything tracked and protected. Most bookings split payment into a deposit at booking and the balance closer to your trip. A refundable security deposit (typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the RV) is pre-authorized on your card before pickup and released after your trip if the rig comes back clean, on time, and undamaged. To avoid issues, take date-stamped photos and a short video of the RV's interior and exterior at pickup and dropoff, dump the tanks if your agreement requires it, and refuel to the level shown at pickup. Pro tip: keep all receipts from your North Bonneville RV trip in case any questions come up.
