Bridgeport State Park Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Grassy sites arranged around an open central lawn define the layout at Bridgeport State Park Campground, where sites sit close together and privacy is limited. The campground fronts a dammed section of the Columbia River, giving campers direct access to swimming, fishing, and boating. Summer draws crowds. The park runs all year, with one loop holding both hookup and non-hookup sites alongside waterfront tent sites, and RVs up to 60 feet are accommodated with electric hookups. Rattlesnakes have been spotted along the paved path toward the dam, worth keeping in mind on foot. Campers researching camping near Bridgeport will find this park among the more amenity-complete options in the area, with showers, a dump station, and WiFi on site.

Visitors often highlighted the family-friendly waterfront setting with swimming and recreation on the Columbia River. Some campers noted concerns about site privacy due to close spacing around the central grass area.

Camping in a field close to everyone

The negative review is strictly for the camping, the park itself overall is nice. But the majority of the camping is surrounding a large open grass area, with all the spots very close to each other. Sitting next to the fire pit in my spot, the neighbors vehicle next to me was less than 25 feet away. Just no privacy whatsoever.

To be fair, I expected that, I didn't come here for a see no people experience. Was just part of a personal mission to visit every state park in WA. But I want to share the experience for others who may be considering camping here, so they are prepared.

The park itself is nice, right on a large lake (a dammed portion of the Columbia River) with opportunities to swim, fish, boat, paddle board, etc. And I recommend taking a hike or bike ride along the nicely paved path down to see the dam (just be on the look out for rattlesnakes).

Pleasant surroundings with water activities

Bridgeport State Park is on the upper reaches of the Columbia River across from the town of Bridgeport.  In the summer, it can be hot, and crowded with campers enjoying the river: boating, fishing, swimming, and just relaxing.  It's great in the off season; in fact, March 28 there were only two other units in the campground!

Quiet grassy campground

Nice quiet campground with grassy sites. One loop contains hookup and non hookup sites and waterfront tent sites. Playground, day use and swimming area. The swimming area is overrun with geese and their mess.
