Crescent Bar Campground (Grant PUD Crescent Bar Recreation Area)

Cyclists and walkers can explore paved trails that wind through this well-maintained campground along the Columbia River. Crescent Bar Campground sits in eastern Washington's Grant County, where large RV sites with full hookups accommodate rigs up to 50 feet. The gravel tent pads measure 16 feet at each site, though most campers arrive in RVs rather than with tents.

Sites spread out across manicured grass with limited shade options available. "The sites are large and well maintained," notes Cinco D., who highlights the direct river access just feet from camping spots. Multiple boat launches provide easy water access for anglers and boaters. The Columbia River offers swimming and water recreation opportunities throughout the warmer months.

Food options remain limited nearby, with a pizza restaurant and clubhouse serving as the primary dining choices unless campers drive into town. The campground operates under management by Central Washington Management Group, with reservations available for planning ahead. RV campers will find electric, water, and sewer connections at sites, plus a dump station for those without full hookups.

This location works well for RV travelers seeking river access and families wanting paved paths for biking. Those exploring campgrounds near Quincy will find this spot positioned between Quincy and Wenatchee for regional touring.

Many campers appreciated the large, well-maintained sites with full hookups and extensive trails for recreation. Staff friendliness and family amenities were commonly noted positives, though the strict cancellation policy drew strong criticism.

EXTREMELY unfair cancellation policy!

It's a beautiful place and we have stayed there several times, but hold on to your wallet! If for some reason you have to cancel your reservation they will RIP YOU OFF with their unfair and completely exploitative cancellation policy. In our case, we wanted to cancel and then planned to re-book later in the fall, which is also a great time to visit Eastern WA. We called 7 weeks ahead to let them know we could not come when we had planned to. They kept HALF of our fee ($237.50) even though there is ample time for them to re-book the site. Yes, their paperwork does state their policy, but that doesn't make it FAIR. Most other campgrounds charge a nominal fee and are OK with cancelling up to 48 hours ahead. But 7 weeks ahead? Give me a break. This campground was funded with tax $$ too-Grant County PUD and now has contracted out the management to the Central Washington Management Group in Quincy.

Super clean, nice bathrooms with showers

Stayed here while in the area to do a trail run. The campground is super well maintained, with plenty of parking at every spot. If you are tent camping, they have ~16' gravel pads for a tent at each site.

You will likely be surrounded by moderately high-end RVs. We definitely felt like the hillbillies of the park rolling up in Leif the Adventure Van.

Not a lot of food choices close by, with a pizza place and the clubhouse up the road being your only choices unless you want to drive into Quincy.

Very Nice Stay

We made a 2 day stop here during the smoky week in September. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The grounds we’re extremely well kept and the pads had all the hookups for the RV. We used all of the biking trails and will be back.

What a campsite!

A great campground. The sites are large and well maintained. This place is very kid friendly. There are a tone of paved trails for bike riding or walking. The Columbia river is feet away and has plenty of access points. The spots are great for tents or RVs, and there is access to plenty of boat launches. This is a must visit campsite. It needs to be on your list of places to stay.

Great spot to relax and soak up the sun!

Very nice, clean and well maintained campground. The grass and landscaping is immaculate. The sites are large and spread out. There are only a few select spots with partial shade. This campground is a great spot to relax, soak up the sun or watch a set of A-18 Fighter Jets fly through the valley while training.
