WASHINGTON STATE TRUCK CAMPER RALLY

JUNE 26-29 2014

ELECTRIC CITY, WA.

SUNBANKS RESORT

(3.7 MILES S.W. OF GRAND COULEE DAM)



sunbanks resort has a lot to offer. it is a resort and not a traditional campground. I have secured 20 sites all in one area of the resort. the resort has swimming, boat launch with moorage, boat rentals, karaoke on Friday night and a band will play on Saturday night, a playfield, mini-golf and a cantina all on the shores of Banks Lake.

the resort is a short 10 minute drive to the grand daddy of them all, Grand Coulee Dam. the dam offers a fantastic free visitors center as well as a laser light show on the dam starting at dusk, around 10 pm.

30 miles to the south of the resort is the dry falls visitors center. see what once was huge falls from the last ice age floods and learn what forces shaped this region.

5 miles to the south is Northrup Canyon. enjoy and easy 3- 4 mile hike (round trip) to an abandoned homestead while enjoying the diverse ecosystem of this canyon like no where else in grant county. continue on from the homestead if you wish to Northrup lake. that section of the hike is more strenuous.
golfing, horseback riding and more are very close to the resort also.

  • We have travelled in a rented TC around Calgary, AB, this May. It is no problem to take it to the US. At least, that is what the rental co. told us. But then again, we are not US citizens. Different restrictions may apply to you.

    The same rental comapany (Fraserway.com) has a branch in Vancouver. I guess one phone call would answer your questions.

    Our rental experience was very good, btw.
  • Thanks for the reply TC life.
    I heard about renting TC's in Canada also. Probably wouldn't be able to leave Canada though. I'll see what i can find out.

    Thanks for the notice. I'll put it on my trip planner for next year. Plan on coming to Visit Washington on Vacation. I believe i will not be able to rent a TC. Might have to rent a Small Class C with 30 amp power. Would that be alright? Any information would welcome. I'll let you know before 1 April. Thanks,

    yeah the only place I have heard you can rent tc's is in Canada but im not positive on that. coming to the tc rally to find out more about them is fine. im pretty sure there would be plenty of people to talk and show you more about tc's.
