You’ll Love Your Stay At The Columbia Sun Resort

Columbia Sun RV Resort is a spectacular place to set up base camp while visiting Washington’s Tri-Cities area. Its proximity to the interstate makes getting out and exploring incredibly easy. 

The resort features almost 150 RV sites spread across 25 beautifully manicured acres. They have 70 sites dedicated to big rigs and can accommodate RVs up to 100 feet in length.

All sites are outfitted with a patio and picnic table and offer full hookups including 20/30/50 amp electric and many DirecTV satellite channels. There are a dozen private restrooms with showers, two public restrooms and showers, and two onsite laundry facilities. 

The resort’s hosts work hard to make sure every guest has a memorable experience that makes them want to return year after year. They are close to a large number of activities and attractions but offer plenty of onsite activities as well. The resort has a heated pool that is open seasonally, a children’s game room, and an adult fitness center.

For outdoor fun, they have a sports court and a playground for the kids. Your four-legged kids won’t be left out; there are two fenced areas where the dogs burn off some energy running and playing off-leash. The only rule for the dog play areas is that the pet owner must be present. Also, insurance prohibits certain breeds from being welcome at the park, including pit bulls, Doberman Pinschers, and Rottweilers.
