Goodness, what a delightful surprise! Campground is on the banks of the Columbia River, complete with a boat ramp. There is a large parking lot for those who just want to do some day fishing. Some of the camp sites overlook the river which is a bonus. We were only there overnight so I can't rate the restrooms but if they are like the rest of the camp they should be fine. We would definitely go back to this camp.

Beautiful little beach area with water front access to Columbia River. There is camping options in one spot they suggest no tents because of theyre random unexpected winds. But we did see a few tents there!! Just next to it was where we were. They had a bathroom, and many tables to use. Water was still nice in beginning of September! Most definitely a place I'd go again. I might bring a cart though to bring all my stuff down to water area easier, since it's a decent walk if your not going for only a picnic.

Convenient location just south of I-90 at the Columbia River. The wind definitely picked up in the evening, so be sure to pull in awnings! Check in was easy after hours. Utilities were functional. Lots of native scrub bushes and trees. Easy access to the docks and beach areas. Great views of the dam and hydroelectric facility on the river. Would visit again!

The Columbia River, especially near the dam, is stunning. There are spots nearby where you can pull off and take photos or enjoy the peaceful view.

This a great park. Not really a bunch of things to do here. I have seen reviews about the wind here. The time that we have been here, the winds have been light and variable but at night the winds pick up quickly and blow pretty hard. In fact it will kinda rock you gently to sleep. Views of the Columbia River are spectacular.

Very windy but not super busy (early April). River was super cold.

Super nice RV campsites! Very flat, well-manicured and -maintained, and beautiful views of the Columbia River/Wanapum Lake. Close to a bunch of cool climbing and hiking! Only complaint is that this area gets EXTREMELY windy, so make sure your stuff is anchored down in the evenings/nights, or you could lose some stuff!

Beautiful place to stop in for a picnic, swim, or to fish. The beach and picnic area was deserted. We had the place all to ourselves. The only downfall was the restrooms were disgusting and for some reason full of flies. It's a brick and mortar building, not an outhouse. Gross!
