Discover the upper end of the Columbia River Gorge! The 81-acre state park offers 4,700 feet of river shoreline and facilities for camping, hiking, boating, fishing, and swimming. Backed by the golden hills of the often-windy eastern Columbia River Gorge, the area is significant for its scenic beauty, access to the surrounding natural wonders, and cultural history. Trainspotting is also a part of the Maryhill experience. The Maryhill Stonehenge, a full-scale concrete replica of Stonehenge, stands on a bluff not far from the park. Group reservations have been made at the Goldendale Observatory--a must-see attraction. Other things to do in the area include the Maryhill Museum of Art, Presby Mansion Museum, She Who Watches petroglyph, Maryhill and Waving Tree wineries, Gunkel Orchards Fruit Stand, Dwinell Country Ales, Maryhill Loops Road, and the Dalles Dam. This is a great and inexpensive recreation spot on the Columbia River.

We will be in a group camping area. 8 sites in the group area have electric and water hookups. To encourage early registration, the first 8 coaches to register will be offered these hookups. Campers can choose to boondock. According to park personnel, these hookups can be shared, possibly permitting up to 16 coaches connected. When those fill up, only boondock sites will be available. There is a free dump station in the park. Individual spots with full hook-ups not in the group area (but closeby) are approximately $40 per site. This cost would be in addition to rally registration. Campers who desire full hookups and don't mind a spot away from the group will have to reserve directly with Washington State Parks (https://washington.goingtocamp.com/, phone 360-902-8844).
