Memaloose State Park

Sandoval Family

My Mom and I stopped here to take a break and stretch our legs. It’s a nice rest area with a drinking fountain and vending machines that overlook the river. The bathrooms were clean with air dryers not paper towels. They had a pet area with doggie bags and other signs that told you about Lewis and Clark and the state park’s name. There is easy access to the state park and they have nice Rv camping sites. Overall this rest area has nice scenery, access to camping, and needed amenities.

This park has a lot of potential. The park needs some TLC. Not once did I see the hosts or staff working. A site had towels left at the site. Considering there currently is a forest fire you would think the park would be watered generously. The park grass and bushes were dry and hadn't been touched in a long time. However, our site was level but, a lot of highway noise.

This park is a really nice setting and well laid out but scores low due to the noise, being bordered on each side by an interstate and a rail line. Though some could write these off as white noise we found them disturbing. The site is also very windy, though I'm sure it's hard to find somewhere in the area that is not windy, be prepared to batten down your stuff.

Nice, clean campground with some full hook-up sites. Because of the noise, from the highway and train, it's a great place if you have an RV or trailer. I picked a site about halfway between the highway and the train tracks. I should have picked one closer to the train tracks. Great views of the Columbia there! Also, the trains aren't nearly as noisy as the Hwy. All that said, without question, I'd stay again. Only other negative is that there is no off-ramp for the campgrounds on the east bound highway. You have to go 3 miles past the campground to the next exit and come back on the west bound hwy to get here.
