Memaloose overlooks the Columbia River but there is no legal or safe access to the river from the campground due to an active Union Pacific Railroad line. It is considered trespassing to travel along or cross over UPRR property. Several legal and safe river access options exist within a 5-15 minute drive from the campground at designated state, city and county properties.

Park is located next to Interstate-84 and an active rail line— trains and road noise can be heard at all hours.
All camp sites are furnished with picnic tables and fire rings with cooking grate.
Flush toilets and hot showers are available. Showers are free to registered campground visitors. Non-registered visitors may shower for $2.00. Dump station on site.

During hot, dry and high fire danger season, campfires or outside cooking may be banned or limited.
Interpretive progams and JR. Ranger activities available Memorial Day to Labor Day. See park hosts.
Firewood and Ice available for purchase from park hosts.
