Moses Lake WA

Will be traveling from Kalispell MT to Tacoma. Any suggestions on a place to spend one night (doesn't need to be fancy or expensive) west of Spokane. Somewjere around Ritzville or Moses Lake. Haven't found anything suitable using rvparkreviews. Any suggestions? I will be pulling a 36 ft 5er.
  • Wanapum Recreation Area
    4511 Huntzinger Rd
    Vantage, WA 98950
    (509) 856-2700

    Just on the west side of the Columbia River, SOUTH of I-90.
    (At least you'll have some shade... and probably a little cool air coming off the River. Moses lake area can be hot, dusy and dry.)
  • Here's a park that we have driven by, but not stayed at. It looked nice.

    Look at Sprague Lake Resort.

    I-90 is your best route, although it is in terrible condition from Cle Elum to North Bend, US-2 is prettier, but is North of Seattle and way out of your way. Tacoma is South of Seattle. Take the Issaquah to Auburn route towards Tacoma.

    US 2 is an easier/prettier drive than I-90, brings you out at Everett, to I-5

    I-90 takes way south prior to coming back up to the pass.
