Park as described in other reviews, well maintained, lush grass, level sites. Nice nine hole golf course nearby and a lengthy paved bike trail all the way to the Chief Joseph Dam. If you bring your bikes be sure to have tire liners and/or slime tubes as goatheads are plentiful even on the pavement and they will flatten a tire. This is a popular campground for people fishing. Many of the sites have no utilities. My lower rating is because Washington State Parks desperately needs to put in a reservation system here. I arrived on a Monday morning in May and claimed the next to last site with electric and water. The entire stay I was constantly asked by people "are you leaving?" and was dogged the morning I began to break camp with a motorhome blocking the campground road in order to claim my site. Not the park's fault, but the waiting people were almost hostile when they didn't think I was getting out fast enough. It was 10 AM and checkout is at 1 PM! If this place is full the campground at the boat ramps in Bridgeport is very nice but not much shade. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A very well-kept park with a ranger on site who won't put up with any nonsense. My only complaint is that reservations are not accepted. We arrived early on a Friday and had virtually one site to choose from. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Providing a lush green oasis of thick grassy lawns beneath mature specimen shade trees, this Washington State Park lies along the north shore of the Columbia River (Rufus Woods Lake) just above Chief Joseph Dam. Although the sites do not have sewer hookups, a dump site is conveniently available. There is sandy beach access to a swimming area. A well prepared concrete boat launch facility with two ample docks provides ready access to productive rainbow trout waters. This park is meticulously maintained. It can be busy on weekends during the summer. Reservations are not accepted. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nineteen bucks (as of this writing) and I get full hookups (w/e/s) and free cable? SWEET! Even better, this park will honor the Federal Golden Age Pass if you have one of those (you will only pay $15). Cash or check only. You fill out a slip and pay at a pay station. This is a beautiful park facing the Columbia River. You have to drive through a bit of a "so so" area, but when you get here, the park is beautiful! I came here on a Thursday, and there were only four spots open, one on the river, and three on the upper deck. I grabbed the river spot. The camp host said I was lucky, normally you pretty much need a reservation to get into this park. The RV spots are all pull through. There are three back in spots that right now have water only. The camp host said that the power and water haven't been installed in those spots yet. Those three spots, when they are completed, will be very wide to allow for slideouts, but all three will be on the pavement next to each other. The current existing spots are somewhat close together (but not bad, ok for slideouts) with a small bit of well maintained grass between each. The spots close to the river have a steep slope to them. I have hydraulic leveling jacks, and I don't think I got quite level from front to back. But for NINETEEN bucks, I'm not complaining. The cable isn't the greatest, the channels are all pretty snowy. But for NINETEEN bucks, you just shouldn't complain about the cable. Might have better luck with the antenna unless you have satellite. There is a small restroom with a fish cleaning station. There are also larger restrooms with showers, and those were very clean! There is a kids play area. There is also very nice "swimming hole" and it's definitely a swimming hole. Looks like an "inlet" was dug on purpose to allow water from the Columbia River to create the "swimming hole." Looks decent enough to swim in. One of the best features is the beautiful outdoor covered kitchen, which is available for rent. Lastly, there is a very nice boat ramp (no charge as of this writing). Park is nice and quiet. I told the camp host that I had come to this park because of the one previous review (on this website). I suspect the camp host preferred that this park be a secret gem. Well, now the whole world knows! The camp host said the park is open April through November. Oh, did I remember to say the price was NINETEEN dollars? We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a delightful RV park located on the bank of the Columbia River just below the Chief Joseph Dam. Hard surfaced pull through with grass on both sides of the 35'wide spaces. 8 spaces are 55' and 12 spaces are 45'. Seniors with Golden Age Pass will pay $15 per night. Each space has a metal table and grill. There is even a small inlet cove from the Columbia River to swim if desired. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
