I actually live in Cathlamet but when my own property wasn’t ready to move onto I decided get a spot at Elochoman Marina Rv for about two months. Although I had been there over the years staying there full time gave me a whole new perspective. We are so lucky to have this gem in our community. It is absolutely alive with sights and sounds of nature, fish jumping , seals swimming and bird watching at its best. I enjoyed watching the boats launching and returning from fishing and seeing the many people fishing off the dike and the docks. The management is first class. The restrooms and showers are so clean and the grounds are maintained beautifully. By spending the extended time there I really felt pride in knowing that tourist must have such a positive reaction to our beautiful Marina and camp areas. It is a wonderful Staycation destination and I would encourage you to grab a tent and take your family and see for yourself or just have a picnic for an afternoon as many locals do.

He apologized that I was not notified the reservation had been changed by marina staff but hoped I would book stays there in the future. After two hundred miles, hours of driving, and a 19 hour...
Read moreSpent a month here in our 40 ft RV. If the RV site had sewer hook ups, would have given it 5 stars. It is off the beaten path but we like that sort of thing. Good small grocery stores nearby. Dump station has easy access. As it was we had power and water. Water was very good. Laundry is ok but you have to reserve it and they could use more than 2 sets of machines. Showers were very nice but be aware there is a .50 charge. They offer 2 yurts and have 5 tiny homes for rent over lookingthe marina. Enjoyed exploring the history of the area and Puget Island. Great, peaceful setting on the river with lots of bird and boat watching to be had. Folks were very accommodating and friendly. Met folks from all over. Would...
