The best camping near Palouse Falls State Park guide

Overview

About

The bird’s-eye view of the white-and-blue spray of surging Palouse Falls down the black of the basalt canyon makes this park a must-see. Formed during the Ice Age floods over 10,000 years ago (this is a noted stop on the Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail), there are numerous interpretive signs that speak to the area’s dramatic geologic history, as well as a short hike to the top of a nearby hill for another perspective. Amateur photographers should make this one an overnight stay to capture the glow of the falls at dawn and dusk. With only 11 tent campsites, Palouse Falls Campground provides a front-row seat for capturing the beauty of the falls in early morning light or at sunset.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. All campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and fill up quickly on weekends and holidays.
  2. The campground features only 11 tent-only campsites, each of which can accommodate two tents and up to four people. Vehicle lengths are limited to up to 20 feet.
  3. Campsite fees are payable by cash or check only, and additional vehicle fees apply.

When to go

Visit in spring or early summer to see the surrounding shrub-steppe plateau covered in vibrant green new growth and to see water flow over the falls, thanks to early-season glacial melt. Birdwatchers during this time of year should also keep an eye out for white-throated swifts, yellow warblers, and horned larks. Birds of prey abound with peregrine falcons nesting in the cliffs and golden eagles hunting around the falls.

Know before you go

  1. The waterfall is viewable from the parking lot, while a short, third-of-a-mile trail veers through nearby grassland. 
  2. Stay on designated trails in the park, as those that are not can be unsafe and sometimes veer onto private property.
  3. One campsite at Palouse Falls Campground is ADA accessible.
  4. Watch for rattlesnakes, frequently spotted in the park. 
  5. Temperatures can soar in the summer months, and water is sometimes unavailable at the campground, so it’s best to pack your own.
  6. Visit Walla Walla Shaved Ice (open Friday through Sunday, April through October) for a wide variety of Hawaiian shaved ice flavors, as well as other snacks and beverages.
