Memaloose Campground

Stayed again at this campground on Oct 21, 2022 for 3 days on the way to Wallowa Lake to camp for. Again this campground is clean well kept and at this late in the season we had the park mostly to ourselves. The Columbia river is right at the back end of the camp sites. Camping at the back area is mostly quite with the exception of the occasional train that goes by about every 2-3 hours, but its not as noisy as the front end by the highway.

June 2021 this campground is full of trees that give shade all around most of the campsites. We stayed at site A-13 which is up against highway #84 westbound traffic so there is noise 24hrs a day especially when trucks are using their Jake brakes to slow down with. There are loops A and B. So, B loop starts inside the middle of the park and A loop goes around until about A-45 then it meets B loop then continues around the outside of the campground back to A-1. Site A-1 thru A-15 and most all of B loop have full hookups otherwise there are many tent sites that have water and a sewer drain at each site. The sites on the lower part of the campground against the river are quieter and have a wonderful view of the river and the Washington side.

Lovely views but right next to a train track.

The campgrounds are nice; however, it's nestled between Hwy 84 and the train tracks. You get used to the noise, might choose your site wisely? :-)

I should add...try to camp at the spots along the river! The view is very beautiful! Also, the train runs along the other side of the river and is quite loud at night!

We stopped at Memaloose while driving from Montana to Oregon. It's not exactly private, there are a lot of RVs, and it's kind of noisy, but it's a safe, comfy spot with nice amenities to rest your head for an evening while traveling on a road trip!
