MARINE PARK CAMPGROUND

GUEST GUIDE


Welcome to Marine Park Campground, and thank you for choosing to stay with us. We are currently in the process of developing this on-line guide to help guests get the most out of their visit here. Basic features include essential campground FAQs with a list of area attractions, calendar of events, and maps that will eventually be expanded to include both a business directory and library of information on local geology, history and other topics. Comments and suggestions for additions warmly welcomed!

THIS MONTH IN THE CAMPGROUND

July 2024

NOW OPEN: MAIN CAMPGROUND, HIKER/CYCLIST AS WELL AS CGRA OVERFLOW TENT CAMPING AREAS,  RESTROOMS, SHOWERS, AND RV DUMP FACILITIES

July in the campground starts with a literal big bang as guests have front row seats to the Port's annual fireworks display off Thunder Island on the 4th!

On the 8th, it's the Pony Party next door at the Historical Museum - for rail fans in general, fans of the Oregon Pony in particular, and just about anyone with an interest in celebrating and supporting the work of this important member of the Marine Park community.

The rest of the month, it's all about the river: Columbia Gorge Racing Association starts its month-long series of sailing workshops and regattas down at the beach; Gorge Canoe Club hosts its annual Downwind Champs race; the Sternwheeler plies the waves four times a day; both locals & visitors gather at the beach every Thursday for community paddling night; and, my personal favorite, the N'chi Wanapum tribal canoe and paddlers laying over for the night on July 18th as they make their way to this year's Muckleshoot gathering. 

Wednesdays are also hoppin' with live music at 6:30-8:30 at Thunder Island Brewery, and karaoke across the street at the Ale House from 7:00-9:00. Don't forget to drop into Buddy's for some old-school arcade fun, too!

See our events and attractions pages for a full list of things to see and do while you're here - and please let us know if we've missed anything!
