Route to Dalles CG, Washington

We are in Priest River, ID & heading to Dalles tomorrow. Planner shows going around to Enumclaw & down or go to Yakima & up. Can someone please give me your thoughts.
Thx

  • Not aware of county park that has RV facilities.
    Before moving here we stayed at Suncrest RV park just off I-90. 509 765-0355
    EXIT 174
    Good chance of having opening mid week
    There is a City Park. Min. two nights
    Cascade park
    Also RV camping at the Fair grounds.
  • Enblethen,
    Just noticed your from Moses Lake. Tell me about your county park there. Think I could get a site tonite?

  • You are talking about the FS campground on 410 on the NE side of Mt Rainier. Coming over Chinook Pass on 410 from Yakima is very scenic, and recommended for a car. But the loops on the west side of that pass as the closest thing to switchbacks I've seen on state or federal highways - probably 20 mph curves.

    I90 and 410 from the Seattle side will be easier.

    I'm not sure about your profile. You may have a small enough rig to enjoy the pass.

    If possible check the pass in detail with a online or GPS program - terrain, streetview, etc.
  • Missed CG
    I-90 to WA 18, south to Maple Valley, then WA 169 to WA 410 to Campground
  • Are you talking The Dalles, OR?
    If so you could come I-90 to US 395 near Ritzville. Take US 395 to I-84 near Umatilla, OR then west to The Dalles.
