clean and enjoyable

A big shout out to Wayne, the camp host. He was such a life saver. The in-line water filter in our fifth wheel blew apart so we were checking to find the nearest RV parts place, on a Saturday evening. Wayne had a spare! He let us borrow his spare water filter for the duration of our stay, which saved us a 2-hour round-trip drive to Prosser.  While the camp hosts are around, visible, and staying busy, they let the campers be campers to enjoy their time.

The water was super calm, so kayaking was very enjoyable. The grounds were clean and green.

Good Public Campground on the Columnbia River

Just off Washington SR 14, on an island in the Columbia River, connected by a short causeway to the mainland.  The campsites lie on the landward side of a sandy butte that dominates the small island.  Trails over and around the butte (no rattlesnakes seen, though signs warned about them) provide great vistas of the Columbia River. Campsites are well-spaced (both back-in and pull-through), with electric and non-electric options. Reasonable cost for a full hookup at $40/night.  Showers said to be available, but we didn't use or see them.  As others have mentioned, the campground can be windy, although the higher numbered sites, roughly 32-50 (toward the butte, away from the mainland) tend to be calmer.

Lovely location

I took my teardrop camper out for the very first time ever here. The area was absolutely beautiful, but it was a little cold and windy during this time of the year. There are hiking trails around the camp grounds.

Crow Butte Campground

So… many… spiders! I paid 20 bucks for 1 night tent camping for me and 2 dogs. The campground is absolutely gorgeous with lots of trees and water views. A little confusing to get to since there isn’t much signage to guide you and I ended up going to wrong way the first time. They have bathrooms with showers available for use. I was very very satisfied here but once it got a little darker, all the creepy crawlers started coming out and I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many spiders in one place. In the morning, I had spiders in each of my door handles, my mirrors, when I turned on my car they started crawling out of the hood of my car, and I had spiders coming out of my trunk for a week. I am not a “beginning camper” so I’m used to bugs and spiders on my trips but I’ve never had this many in one place. There are really cute baby frogs hopping all around in the mornings though which was very cute. Just watch your step. Probably won’t be going back because of the spiders though…
