Washington State Parks has been quietly adding EV chargers, and Daroga State Park in Orondo is one of the beneficiaries. On-site EV charging stations are available for visitors. The park sits along the Columbia River with views of the eastern Cascades that make the detour worthwhile. The nearest DC fast charging is in Entiat, about 1 miles away, with Tesla Supercharger stations. Beyond that, the next option is Wenatchee, roughly 18 miles out, with Blink, EVCS, and others. Between the state park charger and the Tesla station practically next door in Entiat, this is one of the easier spots to manage an EV in the Columbia River valley.
