At Brooks Memorial, you can gaze at the stars from your campsite or head to Goldendale Observatory State Park Heritage Site, located just 20 minutes away, for some of the best night sky viewing in the Pacific Northwest. By day, take in the nearby Maryhill Museum, the Stonehenge replica, and visit orchards and wineries of the eastern Columbia River.
This park is a great place bike, hike and play a few rounds of disc golf on the newly designed course. Visitors can also take advantage of the large open fields and rustic kitchen shelters.
In addition to tent camping, the park offers full hookup RV sites with 50-amp electrical outlets, plenty of room for slide-outs, a dump station and bathrooms with showers. Water is available at hook up sites from mid-April to late October. The park has three wall tents that can be reserved. Visitors staying in sites 8-10 and 16-18 may experience noise caused by overhead electric lines. These lines were erected in the park by federal mandate to provide power to nearby communities. Please plan to change your site choice accordingly if you are sensitive to high-pitched or buzzing noises. Campers in all sites should expect to hear some highway noise from Hwy 97, located near the campground.
Brooks Memorial Retreat Center located on the east side of Brooks Memorial State Park is a rustic and remote facility surrounded by a pine forest. It features 7 cabins, restrooms, a large gathering lodge with kitchen, and an amphitheater.
