5 Amazing Private Campsites Near Tri-Cities You Can Book for Next

When I go camping I want to feel like I’m camping. There’s nothing more disappointing than arriving at a campsite that is packed full of tents, RVs, and trailers spaced 10-feet apart with crowds of people. This is missing the entire point of getting out and off the grid. When I step outside my camper or tent at night, I want to hear nothing but the wind, wildlife, or silence.

Don’t get me wrong, I like RV park campsites too and my wife and I stay at those types of sites often. But occasionally, we want total alone time – with no other people around. So, how do you avoid crowds? Well, to my surprise, there are literally hundreds of privately owned campsites for rent. You’ll find them on private land in the mountains, on farms, in the desert, on lakes and rivers with some starting as low as $19 a night. Most have potable water and outdoor toilets.

I did an online search of available sites in Eastern Washington and Oregon. Here are just a few of the secluded sites I found that I plan to book in the 2022 camping season. Scroll down and check these out and then do some searching online for yourself. Happy camping!

This Hike in the Columbia River Gorge is a Must Experience

The Labyrinth to Coyote Wall Loop. It runs 6.7 miles with an elevation gain of 1,489 feet. It features a waterfall, lava tube, rock formations, and incredible views. It’s heavily trafficked with hikers and mountain bikers on weekends and dogs are welcome on a leash. Beware, you’ll need good hiking shoes as a good portion of the trail is very rocky. It’s open all year round, but the experts recommend day use from March to November.
