The best camping near Starvation State Park guide

Overview

About

Starvation Reservoir has enough space for everyone, and the fishing and boating here is definitely legit. How legit, you ask? Well, there’s an annual walleye fishing tournament each year that draws in the crowds...and the trophy 10+ pound fish. You don’t have to be a champion angler to enjoy this beautiful park, though. There are 3,500 acres to explore! Hop on your ATV and ride along the nearby trails or scoot in and out of remote coves and untouched beaches as you boat around on the bright blue waters. For a truly unique experience, see how well your archery skills match up to Katniss Everdeen’s at the park’s 3D archery range. When it’s time for some shut eye, retreat to your campsite (there are four primitive campgrounds and one developed campground to choose from.)

When to go

The best time to visit Fred Hayes State Park at Starvation is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the park's activities are in full swing. Winter can be harsh, with limited access and services.

Check weather conditions before your visit, as they can change rapidly.
Ensure you have a valid fishing license if you plan to fish.
Day-use fees are required for park access; prepare to pay upon arrival.
