This park and recreation area is operated by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The campground was completely reconstructed and paved last year. New fire pits, new tables and restrooms. The campground sites have paved pads and have separated paved pedestrian sidewalks, which were curbed and perfect for my toddlers to ride their bicycles on. Campground has plentiful river access and a nice sand ramp boat launch. Also a river viewing platform with rails is available. The scenery is breathtaking. Campground is open all year and is free with the exception of May 15th thru Labor Day Weekend. Cellular reception was great, and the campground has an emergency satellite phone mounted in the main information area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very clean park. Nice wide spots, excellent wireless internet, and if your a golfer, its walking distance. They have been full all summer, so call in advance. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at this park for a few nights when we were just passing through Yakima in 2007. We liked it so much, we made a point of coming back for 2 weeks this year. There are large pull-through sites, the staff is friendly, and the facilities are clean. It's right next to a golf course. What more could you want? There are a lot of long term residents, but they keep their sites clean and neat. There is no "run down" feeling like you get with some parks that have a high percentage of permanent residents. We never saw any dogs running loose and we did have free WiFi both times we stayed there. There is no pool, game room, club house, or anything like that in this park. But if you're just looking for a clean, quiet, friendly place to stay while exploring the Yakima area, this is it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have used this park several times when in Yakima to visit relatives. Quite frankly, there really aren't any other options in Yakima as far as we are concerned and this is just a 5 minute drive to our relatives. The park is spacious, clean and quiet with large, level, paved pull through sites. As others have stated, most of the rigs here belong to long term residents, but we have never encountered any rude people and Bill, the owner, is always friendly and accommodating. We like the large dog area even if it is unfenced. The park is nicely, if somewhat minimally, landscaped. There are quite a few trees in the park, but they are all young and really not mature enough in my opinion to be called shade trees yet so don't count on them offering much shade if you go to Yakima in the summer! If this park would start offering Wi-Fi I would up my rating to an 8. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There is poor signage. The location is "in town", is not a plus; park is old looking, meaning sites too small for the most part and although the entrance seems ok maintenance wise the park itself is just "rough". There are rough roads with speeds bumps that are too large and too many. There are way too many, old permanent rigs with "stuff" sitting all around and skirted with old rotted plywood. It just seems like a squatters camp that accepts over night guests, but really if overnight business did not show up, well, everyone would be just as happy. We saw at least 4 "Gypsy" asphalter rigs just "hanging" around as they do and kids that "live" there running everywhere. The trees are so large and close together that I could not get a hint of a satellite signal. However, it is almost the only game in town and the electricity was stable and full amperage. We stayed three nights. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We pulled in, took one look around and pulled out. All long term residents and the place just had a creepy look to it. See my review of Suntides for a much better alternative. (We did not stay in this park) We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were going to dry camp but it was so hot we decided at last minute to stay where we could get 50 amps to power the roof AC. This turned out to be a basic but very nice park. Lots of mature trees kept the temps down. Maneuvering was tight but quite doable in our 40 ft motorhome. There are a lot of permanent residents. The surrounding area is not great and there were a couple of trains blasting their horns in the middle of the night but it was a lot better than the parking lot at WalMart in the 100 deg temps. We would definitely stay here again if necessary when passing through. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Owners told us that the park had been bought by the government and will be closing soon. Park to be dismantled, levee lowered and land returned to the Yakima River. Park had both campers and long term residents. Dusty/gravel roads. OK for short term stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We pulled here in on Friday of the labor day weekend. It appeared to be clean and the owners were friendly. However, when they escorted us to our site, we were on a dirt room (very dusty). They were, however, spraying to keep the dust down. However, when we got to our site it was like parking in a dirt parking lot. Not a sign of grass near our site. There appeared to be many permanent sites. We really did not like the looks or feel of this campground and left immediately. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We would have rated this campground lower, but the staff was friendly so that's what brought it up. That's the only positive thing about this park. We should have read reviews here before camping. The complaints previously listed are accurate. The spaces and roads are incredibly tight. We barely made our turn into our spot. We have a 39' motorhome. I would not recommend trying to bring a rig this big into this campground. Other large rigs had similar problems coming in/out of the park. Roads within campground are way too tight for large rigs. Playground not in good shape and not much for kids to do. This place has potential but needs a lot of work. We definitely will not return unless there are substantial improvements. We camped here in a Motorhome.

My husband and I have camped within the majority of state parks within western WA. We do not recommend staying at this campground, unless maybe you live in Yakima and have little tiny kids. There wasn't much to do at all. We felt like we were in a daycare with hundreds of little kids making a ton of noise. The park is also used by homeless people to spend the night. I didn't feel our stuff was safe, way too much noise and nothing to do! Yakima Speedway is across the river and the sounds were so loud, we just looked at each other and laughed. We drove 2.5 hrs to get there and had to stay the night, but we left as soon as we woke up. WE WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAMPGROUND WHATSOEVER! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Go here once or twice each summer/fall. Quiet. roomy enough. Clean. Rate reflects senior limited income pass. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

After staying at the superior Wallowa Lake State Park in Oregon the previous night, we were somewhat disappointed by Yakima Sportsmen. It's nice, but it costs more and you get less. The park offers volleyball courts and horseshoes and lots of greenspace for games. It's very popular with large parties. Cottonwoods line the roads. There are hiking trails, fishing in a pond (for kids) and in the Yakima River, which you can hear from the campsites. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring, and wood is for sale for $5 a box (you haul). The bathrooms were as clean as can be expected in a state park but have no hot water in the sinks. You have to buy tokens to use the showers, which cost 50 cents for every three minutes. On the first night, quiet hours were not enforced, and we heard people yelling well into the night. The second night was very quiet, however. The sites are cheaper if you don't use the online reservation service (which has a fee) and if you are a state resident. We camped here in a Motorhome.
