Getting to Quincy is straightforward via Interstate 90, which runs east-west through central Washington and connects to major cities like Seattle (150 miles west) and Spokane (180 miles east). Take Exit 149 for Highway 281 north, and you'll reach downtown Quincy in about 15 minutes through rolling farmland and irrigation canals. The drive from Seattle takes you over Snoqualmie Pass, which can be challenging for RVers during winter months due to snow and chain requirements.
Highway 28 provides an alternative scenic route along the Columbia River from the east, offering stunning views of the river and surrounding cliffs. This route connects to Highway 281 and brings you into Quincy from the south. RV drivers should note that some of the river road sections have tight curves and limited passing opportunities, so plan extra time if you're pulling a large trailer or driving a big motorhome.
Fuel up before leaving major highways, as gas stations become sparse once you leave I-90. Quincy has several fuel stops including a Cenex station that can accommodate larger RVs, but prices tend to run higher than in larger cities. Stock up on groceries and supplies in Quincy at Harvest Foods or make a quick run to Moses Lake (30 minutes south) for a larger selection at Walmart or Safeway.
The roads around Quincy are generally RV-friendly with wide shoulders and gentle grades, making it accessible for rigs of all sizes. Watch for farm equipment during harvest season (late summer through fall), and be prepared for strong crosswinds that are common in this open country, especially during spring months.

For the best overall camping experience, consider Crescent Bar RV Park if you want river access and family amenities, or look for spots closer to town if you prefer easy access to supplies and restaurants. Many local RVers recommend staying at parks with full hookups since the area can get dusty, and you'll want to rinse off your rig regularly during dry summer months.
Boondockers should explore the Ancient Lakes area for dispersed camping opportunities, but come prepared with plenty of water since natural sources are limited. The Bureau of Land Management allows 14-day stays on public lands, and you'll find some fantastic spots with views of the surrounding coulees and distant mountains.

Don't miss the Ancient Lakes hike, which starts about 20 minutes from town and leads to stunning waterfalls and swimming holes that few tourists know about. The trail is moderate difficulty and dog-friendly, making it perfect for active RV families. For easier activities, drive the scenic loop around Potholes Reservoir or visit the Quincy Valley Historical Society Museum to learn about the area's irrigation history.

Stock up on fresh produce at local farm stands during summer months – the area produces some of Washington's best potatoes, onions, and corn. Many RV parks allow campfires, so grab local firewood rather than bringing your own to avoid spreading pests.
