Please use CampSpot.com to book and manage your stay at Pekin Ferry! Check in time is 1 PM and check out is 11 AM.
Pro Tip: when you are choosing a camp site, select one that has available spaces (blue) on each side of it. If those spaces remain unused, then you have open space beside you when camping.
We do not currently have an office. For staff member on site please call, text or email. We are exercising limited to no contact check in where possible. There is always someone on site.
We currently offer power and water at 35 RV spaces. We do not currently offer sewer, laundry or shower services. We do have portable restrooms onsite.

Currently the day use area of the park is closed but the campground where the dump station is located, is open. Note: Large RVs may have difficulty maneuvering into or using this station.

Regarding campfires: During summer months the County may ban all outdoor recreational fires. To see the current status of burn bans go to this website: https://www.swcleanair.gov/burning/burnmap.asp and enter our site address in the Search Box on the map: 34115 NW Pekin Ferry Rd, Ridgefield, WA, USA
When recreational fires are permitted, we have portable metal fire pits which may be used. You may request that a fire pit be brought to your camp site. A portable fire pit MUST be used. No fires are allowed on the ground. Camp stoves are not restricted by a recreational burn ban.
​
Guests can text or email upon arrival for WiFi and gate code. Gate closes at 9 PM and opens at 5 AM. When exiting gates open on a sensor. The code is only required for entry. If you expect to need to enter after 9 PM and before 5 AM, contact park staff.
Please do not hesitate to reach out at pekinferry@gmail.com with any questions. Please be mindful of your space number and your location on the map. Spaces in the middle are alternating directions. Odd number spaces in middle have passenger side facing north to the river. Even numbered spaces in middle have passenger facing south to pond. In both cases, the power and water connection is to the left of the vehicle. Thank you for choosing Pekin Ferry, we look forward to seeing you!
A couple Pro Tips: If you require a pull through 50 Amp space, look for an odd numbered space first. This makes it easier to enter when arriving, and if everyone rents odd numbered spaces, when we are not full, everyone will have empty spaces on each side of them.
If you do not require pull through or 50 Amp, then look for a space number 23 through 35 first. These spaces are wider, and they have afternoon shade.
All Camp Policies are posted on Campspot.com
YOU CAN NOT CAMP or BRING AN RV ONSITE WITHOUT A RESERVATION. PLEASE DO NOT COME ON SITE IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO PAY FOR PARKING, HAVE A CAMPING RESERVATION OR HAVE OFFICIAL BUSINESS.
Note: As we have been transitioning the field space into a fully functional RV Park, we are limiting scheduling events which require use of the entire field. There will be opportunity to hold events in the riverside area, but more limited than in past years. Please contact us for details if you would like to plan an event.
