Columbia River Gorge park with 32 vehicle campsites across Upper and Woodard Creek campgrounds; Woodard Creek has five full-hookup sites and a 40-foot limit.
Beacon Rock State Park spans several areas on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge. The Upper Campground has 25 standard vehicle sites and one separate hiker/biker site. Woodard Creek Campground has two standard sites and five full-hookup sites, bringing the vehicle total to 32. Woodard Creek accommodates equipment up to 40 feet with a 12-foot-9-inch height limit. Showers are listed, but the park does not list an RV trailer dump. The reviewed directions end at Woodard Creek, the RV hookup campground; trailheads and the Upper Campground use different entrances.
Beacon Rock State Park includes Beacon Rock, Hamilton Mountain, Columbia River shoreline, and multiple trailheads in the Columbia River Gorge. Trail, climbing, fire, and seasonal campground closures change independently, so check the current park alerts for the specific area you plan to use.
Practical guidance assembled from current operator maps, park pages, and clearly identified community observations.
Sites 1–20 closest to Beacon Rock and the trailheads are most convenient. Upper loop sites (21–35) have more seclusion and tree cover. Columbia Gorge winds can be strong — bring extra tent stakes for any windward site. The Hamilton Mountain trail from camp is one of the best gorge hikes. The campground is a 5-minute walk from the Beacon Rock summit trail, one of the most dramatic 2-mile hikes in WA.
