Port Of Arlington RV & Marina Park
Overview
The Port of Arlington RV & Marina Park offers a refreshing break for travelers navigating the Columbia River Gorge. Situated directly along the scenic waterfront, this park provides a clean and organized environment where guests can unwind while watching tugboats and barges pass by. It is a well-maintained facility that blends the utility of a transit stop with the beauty of a riverside destination, making it a standout choice for those traveling through Eastern Oregon.
Location & Surroundings
Located in the small, welcoming town of Arlington, Oregon, the park is nestled between the rugged cliffs of the gorge and the wide expanse of the river. It sits adjacent to Earl Snell Memorial Park, which offers additional green space and shade for pets and children. Despite its proximity to the interstate, the park maintains a tranquil atmosphere thanks to the natural sound dampening provided by the water and the gentle slopes of the surrounding golden hills.
Amenities & Park Features
Each site at the park is designed for convenience, featuring level paved pads and full hookups including 30 and 50-amp service. Guests have access to essential facilities such as clean restrooms, private showers, and convenient laundry equipment. The inclusion of an on-site marina and boat launch makes it incredibly easy for those with watercraft to transition from the road to the river. The grassy picnic areas and well-kept grounds provide a perfect spot for outdoor meals with an unobstructed view of the water.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw here is the Columbia River, which is world-famous for salmon and steelhead fishing. Visitors can spend their days on the water or enjoy the reliable breeze, which makes the area a hidden gem for windsurfing and kiteboarding enthusiasts. For those who prefer to stay on land, the local town of Arlington offers a glimpse into rural Oregon life, while nearby trails and overlooks provide opportunities for light hiking and photography along the riverbanks.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal fit for active retirees and families who appreciate a quiet, scenic environment with modern comforts. Because of its layout and location, it is also perfectly suited for boaters and anglers looking for direct water access and easy trailer maneuvering. It serves as a reliable and high-quality basecamp for anyone exploring the vast landscapes of the Pacific Northwest or those needing a comfortable overnight rest during a long cross-country road trip.

Great place to stop and enjoy the day or night 🌙
Matt Watkins
Stopped to see what services are available as I plan to ferry a sailboat upriver and guest moorage and fuel is intermittent. Not only do they have vehemently, but showers, overnight moorage is free unless you plug in to shore power, and fuel is self serve. Bonus was meeting the Executive Director of the port!

We stayed in the marina on our sailboat. Easy in and out, nicely sheltered from river current and wind waves. Newish docks and camp grounds. Open toilets but $5 showers. Cheap gas in comparison to what I paid elsewhere. BIG drawback train and highway truck noise all night. And grain elevator across the street worked until 8pm and showered marina with grain chaff. Not a gluten free environment. Nice walk to store for provisions only quarter mile through beautiful park.

Reasonable price for full hookups $35, tight pull in, must have extra sewer hose. Trees need some trimming. You can hear trains and fwy.
