2024's waterslide
Tim H.

I cannot say enough great things about Wildhorse & its employees. Everyone is so kind from the second you arrive, all the way to the port-o-let cleaners (who keep IT ALL so clean). The kitchen staff whip up amazing breakfast, lunches, and dinners. It's our 3rd stay here, and we were smart enough to bring a small inflatable pool to keep cool in the peak heat. I appreciate the shade that the fence line spots provide, but the grass spots are worth having too because it's all so well kept. The landscaping team just excels at keeping these grounds so beautiful. There was a huge inflatable water slide setup this year, which looked like a blast. I know RVs of any size are welcome, and they have electrical hookups. Cheers to anyone able to stay here.

This place is my go to. If you're coming to the gorge - you need to stay here. The security I feel walking in and being welcomed by Katherine and Shelly is the best! Everyone who works here is very friendly and looks out for all the campers. This year was insane with the lightening and they took care of all of us shuttling back and forth and keeping everyone safe. I've been staying here for four years STRAIGHT. I stayed ONE time at the gorge - NEVER AGAIN. This is the spot! Hidden in a cove of trees your sheltered from the elements and have all the amenities you need just feet away. They have shady spots, cabins, and tents available for rent. As well as, they upgraded their shelters, showers, and added plenty of picnic tables to share. My personal note: Shelly was amazing! I've seen her around the last few years and she took very good care of me this year. She was my go to for any information needed and was very informed on what was happening. I even forgot my toothebrush and she brought one from home for me. THEY CARE!!! She even hand painted the rocks around the campsites.

I'll never stay at another campground for the Gorge again! The staff is very friendly and helpful, the food from the cafe is delicious, the grounds were clean, showers hot, grass green, I could go on and on about the things I love about this place. They even offered free tie dye, and I wear my Wild Horse shirt often! I had so much fun on my first stay we booked a spot at the Wild horse even though we had already paid for Gorge camping for another show. I can't wait to head back there!

I've been camping at WHCG for about 5 years...and I love it! This place is very small...only takes about 200 cars. Reserve your spot early if there is a Gorge at George show you want to attend to. I booked my spot for the 3-day memorial wknd for the Sasquatch Festival and it sold out in 2 days after the concert tix went on sale! The WHCG is run by the family, and it really does have that friendly feeling like they take care of you. They have a bomb ass cook who works up tasty meals for about 8 bones...I'm a HUGE fan of the b-fast burrito with sausage, egg, cheese and all the fixings, and the fatty wild burger for lunch or dinner. They even have a latte stand and free coffee if that satisfies your fancy. Only four showers are available, so choose to shower at off-peak hrs to avoid the line (late night or super early in the morning). The best thing about Wild Horse is they bus you over to the concert in a old bus. Great way to build camaraderie with your fellow campers and sneak on your last free drinks before you get raped at the concert ($11 dollar Coors Light Tall Boys...yikes!).

Indeed very enchanting place. We did backpacking 3 nights 4…read moredays to experience the core zone as much as possible including off-trail scrambles for Little Annapurna and Enchantment Peak. We went Colchuck to Viviane and traced back since not much to see beyond Viviane. Really nice backpacking. My detailed mileage etc is below blog post. https://himebackpacker.blogspot.com/2024/10/the-enchantments-washington.html

I've done this a couple of times so I'll give you the different perspectives…read more The first time I did it as a one-day hike because I did not have a permit. The second time I did it as a three night hike because it was after October 15th and I still didn't have a permit. Since that time, the permit season has been extended to October 30th. Either way, I suggest that hiking in the fall is the prettiest time due to the larch trees colors. Both times we started at the Stuart Lake trailhead (recommended due to reduced overall elevation gain) and ended at the Snow Lake trailhead. Now at the risk of offending someone I will say that hiking through the Enchantments in one day is like watching a porn movie on fast forward. You miss most of the scenery. My suggestion is to either get a permit, or hike outside of season, preferably in the fall, but stay at least two nights. Given that the hike up Aasgard Pass has an elevation gain of 1900 feet in about a mile, I can attest that it can be quite dangerous when raining. On the East side there will be mud & rock slides and in our case we had to duck out of the way of several large, (18 or so inch diameter) Rocks that came bouncing down the boulders with unpredictable direction at a very high rate of speed. Risks early in the season are snow slides and avalanches, so be very aware of the conditions when you are there. All that said, anyone who does not give this a five and tell you that it's absolutely one of the most beautiful hikes you'll ever take on must know something I don't, and I've hiked the Himalayas. Remember that goats are dangerous. Pee on rocks, not soil because the goats will dig it up for the salt. Try not to let a goat see you peeing or it will run towards you. Try fishing in the lakes; the trout are great for dinner up there. You should also know that when coming down toward the Snow Lake trailhead there are a large number of switchbacks and when you see the cars just down the hill, it will likely be another hour before you get there, and if you did it as a day hike, your feet may not be happy when you finally arrive. If you are a hiker, you must find a way to get this one done before you hang up your boots.

Lovely respite on a hot summers day. For 9 years I've enjoyed camping near the gorge over Labor Day…read moreWeekend but haven't ventured over to the water until this year when a neighbor convinced me it was time to check it out. Wanapum Dam keeps this portion of the Columbia River from flowing and thus creates a lake type setting for water recreation and relaxation. I'm so glad I was finally able to check it out. The water was refreshing (72-74 degrees or so) and people were out on the water on boats, kayaks, paddle boards, jet skis, and big floating birds etc. You'll need to bring or purchase a WA state parks pass for $10/day or $30/year. There is a nice big grassy area for playing bocce ball, frisbee, football, or whatever your heart desires. People had camp stoves and were cooking and picnicking, while others just lounged about. All in all it was a great place to be by the water.

RV sites are large and open for the most part with electric, water and sewer. The winds at night are a riot during the hot parts of the summer. They blow like crazy. There is a day park separate from the RV park that you can walk to to swim and/or just relax. During the summer it is always crowded. Vantage has a gas station with food if you need it. Gorge is very close. Across the river are parks that are supported by Grant County PUD which are very nice and usually not many people. I'm impressed with the money and resources that Grant County PUD has put into the area. Just south of the Wanapum on the same road is a small park on a lake (small) that no one is ever there. Called the cove. If you have a boat you are in heaven with the Colombia River at your call.

Upon arrival I did have my tickets but I did not purchase a camping pass. I assumed (yup), that i would be able to go to Family Parking for free like i did back in 2023. First of all the employees back then were much more chill. I think it was before the "Live Nation" takeover...possibly? Anyway, I was told I had to purchase a Tent Camping spot even though i didn't have a tent. So I plopped $300+ for that. I actually got a relatively good spot near "The Pivot". The next time I come, I am definitely going to look into other camping arrangements.

Mileage: estimated about 10 miles total (2 miles to where we set up our tents, then we hiked a loop…read moreof about 6 miles, then 2 miles back to the car the next day) Backpacked: April 16-17, 2016 This past weekend a group of us did an overnight backpack trek to Ancient Lakes. 3 first timers backpacking and it turned out to be an awesome trip! We had some problems trying to find directions out to the place, so here's directions from my personal experience. Directions: we stayed in Quincy the night before, so we took the 28 to Whitetail Road. Made a left on Whitetail from the 28, then a right on road 9 NW. follow road 9 NW and it turns into Ancient Lakes Rd NW. At the end of the road, you'll find the west parking lot. I am not sure how to get to the east parking lot. There's a lot of parking here, when we got there by 11 am, it was really crowded but we still found a spot. (When you are on Whitetail Rd, it might look like you are just driving through farms, but buried in there, there's Ancient Lakes!) There is a port-o-potty at the trail head on the west side. Trail head: is well marked, we hiked in about 2 miles and got to the lakes and the rolling grass area where you can set up tent where ever. There are some man made fire rings scattered through out the area. Hiking: After we picked a spot and set up camp, we hiked a loop around the lakes. We started towards the waterfall. It was a scramble up the side of the waterfall, like a class 4 rock scramble lol. Loose rocks, loose footing. From there, we went pass that waterfall and onto the backside where the east parking lot is. Which there's another waterfall there, and there's also camp spots there too. We looped around, it wasn't too hard. We estimated this part of the hike to be around 6 miles round trip back to our tents. Lots of people camping, we counted about 50 tents, then you estimate about 2/per tent, so like 100 people were out here! But you still are able to find solitude. We came across 3 snakes, an owl, and a marmot. Easy trek, not very hilly at all. Good for first time backpackers. The area can be explored in a day.
