If you’re the camping type, you already know that Washington has some incredible campgrounds. In fact, there are a few spots in the Evergreen State where you can camp right on the beach. However, nothing can quite compare to the setup at Skamokawa Vista Park. Not only can you camp inside a cozy yurt, but you can also do it all while looking outside at your own private little beach.

Skamokawa Vista Park sits tucked away in the tiny community of Skamokawa, which is located on the Columbia River right by the Oregon border.

Vista Park opened in 1981 on a 75-acre site along SR4. And despite its highway location, this is truly a hidden gem if we've ever seen one.
You certainly won't find much in Skamokawa, but the Vista Park is a top attraction.

Whether you're just using it for the day or spending a night or two, the park's lush greenery and waterfront location will make it tough to leave.
If you do decide to camp, you can do so in a tent, RV, or even a tipi...
