Elochoman Slough Marina
Overview
Elochoman Slough Marina offers a unique blend of nautical charm and peaceful RV camping in the heart of Cathlamet, Washington. Situated along the scenic Columbia River, this port-owned facility provides a gateway to the water for travelers seeking a slower pace of life. Whether you are arriving by land or water, the park serves as a welcoming hub where the maritime heritage of the Pacific Northwest is on full display. It is a place where mornings are greeted by river mist and evenings are spent watching boats return to the docks after a day on the river.
Location & Surroundings
Nestled in a protected slough, the park is just steps away from the historic downtown area of Cathlamet. The surrounding landscape is defined by the majestic Columbia River and the lush, forested hillsides that characterize Wahkiakum County. Travelers will find themselves immersed in a quiet, rural environment where the sound of the water is a constant companion. The location is ideal for those who want to explore the lower river valley while enjoying the small-town charm of one of the oldest settlements in the state.

The marina features a variety of camping options, including full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service. Guests have access to essential conveniences such as clean restrooms, coin-operated showers, and on-site laundry facilities. For those traveling with watercraft, the guest moorage and boat launch are significant highlights of the facility. The park also provides free Wi-Fi, picnic tables, and communal fire pits, making it easy to relax. A dedicated fish cleaning station is available for those who find success on the water.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Julia Butler Hansen Refuge, which is home to the rare Columbian white-tailed deer and numerous migratory bird species. The nearby ferry to Westport, Oregon, offers a scenic shortcut across the river for unique day trips. In town, visitors can walk to local cafes, the Wahkiakum County Historical Society Museum, and boutique shops. The area is a premier destination for salmon and sturgeon fishing, as well as kayaking through the intricate channels of the slough and surrounding islands.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an excellent choice for dedicated anglers and boaters who want direct access to the Columbia River. It also appeals to retirees and coastal travelers looking for a quiet, low-key stopover far from the noise of the interstate. Wildlife photographers and birdwatchers will find plenty of subjects in the nearby marshes and refuges. If you value a community-oriented atmosphere and an authentic maritime setting, Elochoman Slough Marina provides a comfortable and scenic home base for your Southwest Washington adventures.

Good prive for RV full hook for our 24 ft bp trailer. Nice docks for our 24 ft Hewescraft boat.
Andrew Portrey
It's a little further off of the river than you might expect for a marina. But it's kind of nice too. Because there's no wake or wind. Once you get in into the marina to unload your boat or just docking.

This is one of the most beautiful places to camp on the Columbia River. The marina staff are AMAZING, facilities are clean and well maintained, and it's within easy walking distance to everything in town. This is definitely a hidden gem in Washington!
