For the most basic of accommodations, consider staying at the Rama Inn (544 6th St., Washougal, 360/835-8591, $55 s or $65 d), which has an outdoor pool on premises.
The stately colonial Greek-revival Fairgate Inn (2213 N.W. 23rd Ave, Camas, 360/834-0861, $125–175 d) makes an attractive alternative to more humble lodgings. All eight of the elegant rooms come complete with private bath, fireplace, high-speed Internet, and a full breakfast served in the dining room.
