Lake Sacajawea - COE/Charbonneau Park

Brian Carter

We stayed here in mid September over an extended weekend on an intentional getaway. It is 25 minutes from a large town and in the midst of Washington's apple county. The park sits on the eastern shore of Lake Sacajawea on the Snake River and is operated by the Corps of Engineers. Many activities available: Fishing, boating, water skiing, swiming, hicking etc... Small ships, barges and a sternwheeler, pass through the lake on occasion. Amenities: * All sites have electricity up to 50 amps. * Sewer and water (not all sites) * All sites have fire pits and aluminum picnic. tables. * 1 Central bath house w/ showers. * Small marina and boat ramp. * Day use area with kids play and swimming area. * Dump station. * Open grassy areas. Posatives: + Very clean and well maintained. + Sites are nicely spaced apart. + Check-in process is simple and easy. + All sites have electricity up to 50 amps. + Quiet, relaxing, family atmosphere. + Pleanty of trees for shade. Negatives: - Bugs! Come prepared. - No direct access from the RV park to the marina and day use area. Long walk or quick drive around. - Gate closes at 10:00pm. (can be difficult if emergencies arise) Other: & Alcohol is not permitted in the park. & No Wi-Fi Conclusion: Excellent destination stay.

Beautiful park with plenty of parking. There are multiple small beaches with sand. Lots of picnic tables too. The park ranger was very kind. I recommend coming here during sunset! :)

Absolutely one of the loveliest parks/campgrounds we’ve ever stayed in! It started with a delightful and informative host, our site was a back in with full hooks for an extremely reasonable price. The site was level and clean, under a lovely shade tree. The bath house was older but very clean. This campground sits by a lake that is beautiful, with gorgeous sunsets…the only negative that I have was no hooks or benches in the shower and low water pressure…but it was still a 5 star experience!

We really enjoyed this campground. Most sites are electric only however about 7 of them have full hookups and those are located near the bathroom. I think this campground would benefit from an additional bathroom closer to the entrance. There is a very small beach but it is a bit to walk to else you can drive to the main boat launch area and there are two beaches and shelters there.

We went for 2 days. It was a very pretty park. Very quiet. Well maintained. The bathrooms were super clean. We will for sure stay there again. It also has a dump site on your way out.
