Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Lake Wallula
Plymouth Park Campground's grassy sites accommodate both tent and RV campers with pets throughout its April to October season. The campground provides electric hookups, water access, picnic tables, and fire pits at level paved sites with open lawn areas between them. Umatilla Marina & RV Park offers full hookup sites with water, sewer and electric connections for pets and their owners, situated near the Columbia River with boat access. Both campgrounds maintain clean bathroom facilities, though availability may vary seasonally. Pet owners appreciate the quiet atmosphere at Plymouth Park, though some report issues with yellow jackets during summer months. The sites have little privacy but are well-maintained with irrigated green lawns that pets enjoy.
Pets must remain leashed throughout both campgrounds, with owners responsible for waste cleanup. The campgrounds provide access to riverside areas where dogs can enjoy water views, though swimming access varies by location. Plymouth Park offers a playground area near its pet-friendly sites, while Umatilla Marina provides direct river access with a cove area suitable for paddleboarding with calm-tempered dogs. Hood Park and Hat Rock Campground also allow pets but have different amenity levels and seasonal availability. Temperature extremes in this region require special consideration for pets, as summer temperatures regularly reach the 90s, necessitating shade and adequate water supplies. The proximity to I-84 at Umatilla Marina creates some traffic noise that might disturb sensitive pets.
