We had a lovely stay here! The views of Columbia River and gorge were stunning. We enjoyed the pathway connecting the campground to the paved trails through a local park. The facilities were well maintained. I would definitely return here!

With the new manager and staff for the 2025 season this park has had a complete turnaround for the better!! Bathrooms are updated, grounds are clean, landscape is upkept.

We came to explore the scablands in the Jeep, great place for Basecamp. Nice little pub in walking distance. We were on the edge of the campground with a fabulous view of the lake!

What a great place in a great location. It needs some overall beautification but has great bones to work with. It seriously needs some water. It looks like it was over grown at some point but the new manager, Nick, is doing a great job. He is very accommodating and friendly and I have no doubt he will have this place tip top in no time. Don't get me wrong. It is not bad now. Just very dry. Some wa... What a great place in a great location. It needs some overall beautification but has great bones to work with.

Some water and grass seed would go a long way. We will definitely be back.

Location is great on Columbia river. In terms of RV park and amenities they are just ok. Bathrooms redone recently and are newish. Sites are mostly dirt with some grass here and there. Best sites are actually owned and off limits to regular RVers. Our site was all dirt next to two large main dumpsters so you can guess the sound we heard every 10 minutes. 3rd time at this location on return f... Location is great on Columbia river.
