Peach Beach is adjacent to Maryhill State Park. It has 82 sites, half of which are pull-through sites. The RV sites are gravel but level. Tents are allowed. Many of the sites have 50-amp electrical hookups, sewer and water. There are sites with cable television hookups but no wireless Internet service. The park is covered with shade trees, which is a wonderful amenity in an area where summer daytime temperatures can climb above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The restrooms have showers. Much of Peach Beach fronts the Columbia River, making this a favorite site for wind surfers who frequent the windy Columbia River Gorge. Fruit stands are within easy walking distance during the summer. Peach Beach is open year-round with reasonable rates of $20-$25 per night.
