RV’s are always welcome in Central Washington

The summer is the perfect time for RVs and golf to mix. And the Central Washington area has several choices for overnight camping, from Suntides in Yakima to Desert Aire in Mattawa, to Sun Lakes in Coulee City. The popularity of Golfers traveling in RVs is growing and golf courses are catering to them. Desert Aire just approved an aggressive investment that will increase and improve their RV overnight spaces.

• Sage Hills Golf & RV Resort: Guests are treated to a challenging and well manicured golf course as well as a popular restaurant and bar. There are 40 RV spots with full hooks ups, a recreation facility, a laundry room, swimming pool and picnic area.

• Suntides: Suntides Golf Course in Yakima offers 60 full hook ups with paved pads, shade trees and a relaxing setting. There is a laundry room with showers, a dog run and, of course, an 18-hole par 70 golf course with complete clubhouse facilities. New walking/biking trail next to park is popular activity with guests.  The course is visible from US 12 E and about 10 minutes from downtown Yakima.

• Desert Aire: Located along the Columbia River, Desert Aire offers 10 RV spots with full hooks. The park has a huge putting green just feet away and its lighted for night putting. The course is very walkable; however, carts are available. The well-groomed course has received numerous accolades from Golf Digest and Golfer Magazine, to name just a few. The course is located just 18 miles south of I-90 at Vantage. 

• Sun Lakes Resort: Vic Meyers, the former Lieutenant Governor of Washington State, had a vision to turn a chain-link string of lakes 40 miles north of Moses Lake into the “Palm Springs of the Northwest.” The 4,000-acre resort was a reality in 1949 with a 9-hole golf course included.  The Sun Lakes Resort, on Park Lake, is now one of the state’s most popular parks with cabins and RV spaces, putt-putt course and much more.  

• Crescent Bar: Is a sand spit that extends into the Columbia River near Quincy. The RV park has 60 paved RV sites, 55 with full hook-ups.  A popular 9-hole golf course borders the Columbia River and is very walkable. Picnic area and a marina are some of the amenities.

•  Sun Country Golf Resort: This alpine course is short at 5,715 yards but what it lacks in yardage it makes up for in scenic holes. There is an RV park next to the pro shop.

• Colockum Ridge Golf Course: The course has been up-graded and is a popular place for local and RV travelers that want an easy course to walk. There are 18 sites available and reservations are recommended.
