COMMUNITY
CAMP OUT
MATILLA — No RVs are
allowed at the Umatilla
Marina and RV Park campground
on Friday, April 22, as the city of
Umatilla hosts its fi rst Commu-
nity Camp Out.
Umatilla City Manager Dave
Stockdale said the Marina
campground is a unique part of
city services because most of its
users come from out of town.
“We have this terrifi c com-
munity asset, and the majority of
the users aren’t from here, which
makes sense, people travel when
they camp,” he said. “This is in our
backyard, so we wanted to make
sure that this amenity is available
to our residents at least once a
year. We encourage families and
friends and anyone to come on
out and enjoy a night of camping.”
What: An event for tent
camping only
When: April 22-23
Where: Umatilla Marina and
RV Park
Cost: Free
After a registration period
for only Umatilla residents, the
remaining spots are now open
to anyone in the area. Sites are
assigned on a fi rst-come, fi rst-
served basis with only one family
allowed per site.
“It’s a tents-only campout, so
if you have an RV or a fi fth wheel
or anything like that, leave those
at home and bring the tent,”
Stockdale said.
He said there are a limited
number of tents for rent.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers owns the majority of the riverfront property
along the Columbia River, including the marina, in the city of Umatilla. On April
22, families are invited to a tent-only Community Camp Out at the Umatilla
Marina and RV Park.
To register, go to www.
umatilla-city.org/parksrec/page/
parks-recreation-happenings.
Scroll down to the event, then
click on “register online.” There
is no registration fee.
During the campout, there
will be a community campfi re,
but Stockdale said families are
welcome to bring their own food
and start their own campfi res
as well.
Firewood and ice will be
available for purchase, and a
free breakfast will be served on
Saturday morning.
The city is planning to show
“The Croods: A New Age” at
dusk, and some yard games will
also be available.
Check-in for the April 22
campout begins at 2 p.m., and
checkout is Saturday, April 23,
at noon.
Registration is free, and
anyone can contact Umatilla City
Hall or the Umatilla Marina and
RV Park for more information.
Looking ahead on the calen-
dar, the city of Hermiston is plan-

Family Campout this year. That
event is scheduled for July 22,
2022, at Riverfront Park.
