Quiet and peaceful

Small campground on a reservoir that was quite low. Sites are close together but there weren’t many people so no big deal. Douglas fir provides lots of shade. Clean bathrooms, flush toilets and warm showers! Quiet and peaceful.

Nice campground

Nice place on an Army Corps resevoir that's pretty low. Sites are smaller, I only saw 5-6 sites that would take a rig larger than 20". Great play area. A couple of cabins to rent also. Lots of trees, so good shade in the heat!

A surprisingly nice campground

We didn't expect much from this campground, being that it was in a County Park, but we were surprised by it.  The scenery was nice (the reservoir is low with lots of dead trees sticking out of it, so I'm not sure how much boating goes on there), and the sites were on the small side, but the campground itself is small and quiet, which is always a plus.  Bathrooms are spotless, with warm water sinks, flush toilets, hot showers, and heaters/fans that comes on automatically on cold mornings and nights.  What's not to love about that?!  We only stayed for a night coming and going on our trip, but after a week in Washington's National Parks and Forests with no showers, we looked forward to the hot showers at Chief Miwaleta.  If there were trails around the reservoir to hike with dogs, we didn't find them.  Just the same, we'd stay a night or two here again, no question.
