“relaxing, shady atmosphere”
An oasis on the Lewis and Clark Trail, we have a quiet, relaxing, shady atmosphere. Located adjacent to Hat Rock State Park, we’re near a boat launch so you can enjoy jet & water skiing and year round fishing on the Columbia River. This area is known for walleye, sturgeon, and other fish. We are just minutes from I-84 and I-82, with quick and easy access for R.V.'s as well as tent campers.

Price paid was with Good Sam discount. This campground is across the road from the Hat Rock State Park. Upon arrival, we found a map on the office door with our assigned site number and a note that the office with store will be open from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. All of the workers we encountered during our stay were super nice. There are lots of permanent residents here, some sites are neater than others. Interior roadways are gravel/dirt. Sites are on grass. There is a table and fire pit at each transient site. We had a 30 amp site with water, no sewer. There is a dump station on site. Most of the transient sites are on the back row of the campground. There are trees that line the sites on the back row (sites 5 through 23). While the trees do offer shade (and it was 100 degrees while we were there), if the residents behind the last row have their vehicles in the roadway, you will most likely have to make a couple of attempts at getting into the site, especially if in a larger rig (we are 40'). For the most part, the campground was peaceful and quiet. We didn't use the pool, but it appeared clean. Although I didn't check out the women's shower/restroom, my husband reported that the men's shower area was clean and an ample size, with a dressing area and hooks to hang items. There was no fenced dog area that we saw, but there are plenty of areas to walk them. Verizon data and cell service worked well most of the time, but Verizon data seemed a bit squirrelly in the early mornings. There were a few OTA channels, no cable. Although we were using only one air conditioner, our breaker popped the second day (Friday) we were there. We alerted management and they switched out the breaker promptly. The following day, it was between 95 and 100 degrees and the breaker popped again, still with only one air conditioner running. All of the transient sites were full and there wasn't enough voltage to supply the demand. Many of the RVers left Sunday morning and we didn't have any further electrical issues.

We needed a place to stop and catch up on laundry, dumping, email and just rest. This campground is ok for an overnight, but frustrating if you wat to get online and catch up. The campground WiFi barely worked and Verizon even with a booster was slow. AT&T does not exist at all. The laundry was adequate, but not the cleanest. The bathroom and showers were clean, but need repair. Half of the campground was filled with long term residents. Our site was grassy and under trees which is great in the summer heat. The site are close together, but not bad at the time we were there because there were no other transient campers. Our site 49 was water and electric only. Full hookup sites were closer to the office and not as shaded. The internal roads were gravel.

Review of Hat Rock Campground RV Park
REMOTE WORKERS PLEASE READ
We stayed here for 3 nights on our way to the Portland area. I work in tech and remote so I work as I travel and live full time in my RV. If you aren't a remote worker who needs connectivity, this park is fairly nice. If you are a remote worker who needs connectivity, this park will not work for you. You will have to head to town and work from Starbucks everyday. The park WIFI might as well not exist. There are several connection points and all of them frequently drop, or are super slow. Don't count on the wifi working. We have Verizon and at times we had 1 bar of LTE but it is super slow. Most of the time we had only 3G. Even with our Weboost and a mifi we could not get a reliable signal strong enough to work.
Pros: Clean, Quiet, Inexpensive, spacious lots, general store on premise
Cons: WIFI is garbage - never works, virtually no cellular signal, grass lots (lots of bugs and if they water before you setup it feels like a swamp).

We are only staying for one night. The park is in fair shape- there are some permanent residents. The spaces are pretty close together, but it is fine for a night. The pool was open so my older children were able to swim. It was $40 something for the night. There is a charge of $3 per child. Overall it is a nice spot. It is directly across from the entrance to the national park. It is a 15-20min walk to a fishing area as well. The laundry facility only has 2 washers and dryers. There was a constant line to use them. The permanent residents were also in need of using them and we ended up doing laundry until after 11:00 pm in order to get it done. Overall it was a good spot for an overnight, just know it is not luxury but safe and decent.
