Best Tent Camping near Burbank, WA

Juniper Sand Dunes OHV offers tent camping in a desert landscape with trail access, while Lyons Ferry Park provides more developed tent sites with amenities. These areas typically feature high desert terrain and water-based recreation opportunities.

Most tent campsites in the region have minimal facilities and require self-sufficiency. Lyons Ferry Park includes drinking water, toilets, and showers, making it suitable for tent campers seeking basic amenities. Juniper Sand Dunes provides a more rustic experience with no facilities, requiring campers to pack in all supplies including water. Several areas permit campfires, though seasonal restrictions apply during summer months due to fire danger. Toilet facilities vary significantly between locations, with some sites offering only vault toilets or no facilities at all. Campers should check current regulations as many areas implement fire bans during peak summer months.

The camping experience around Burbank offers diverse settings from riverside to desert landscapes. Tent sites at Warden Lake North provide access to a sandy beach and pier, creating opportunities for water recreation. The desert environment at Juniper Dunes offers excellent stargazing conditions and off-road trail access. As described in feedback on The Dyrt, the area provides "desert camping off the beaten path" with "beautiful place to see the stars." Sites along the Snake River can become crowded during summer holidays, particularly at developed areas like Lyons Ferry, while more remote dispersed sites offer greater solitude. Weather conditions vary dramatically throughout the year, with hot, dry summers and cold winters, making spring and fall preferable for tent camping comfort.

    Hood Park

    Hood Park

    Do not try to check in before 2 pm!!!! No alcohol allowed in park!

    Typical Park campground outside of urban area. Decent swim beach area a lot of algae outside of swim area. Town is close by so you can do other things ( Groceries, laundromat etc…..) while waiting for check in. Spider issue others write about appears to be controlled. However every picnic table has lots of spider webs underneath!!!!

    Plymouth Park Campground

    Clean campground

    $12 a night for water and electricity. Clean area with grass and playground. Some areas appear to be under construction or upgrade. Dumpster and restroom available. Showers closed because of covid-19. Sights are on paved roadway with firepits and picnic tables. Easy in and out for our 32' Class A. Hermiston Oregon is 6 miles away.

    Beach RV Park

    Great tent site with WiFi

    Great site off the freeway- but because it’s close, you’ll hear cars all night. We were the only tent campers so we had a bunch of space. Fire rings and picnic tables at every site as well as a bunch of firewood. There are 2 bathrooms and showers that look pretty new. WiFi works closer to the RVs.

    Hood Park

    Very Comfortable with Manicured Lawn and tons of space

    Lots of options in this campground from drive through big trailer spots to back in spots to tent only areas. 

    Tons of wide green lawns with lots of space, camp sites end up pretty well spaced apart so you might only have 2 or 3 neighbors then a ton of lawn before another neighbor.

    It's right on the snake river, so you can practically fish from your camp site if you want. There is a connected wildlife preserve that you can walk around in and also fish in that is a sperate area. Lots of birds to watch. 

    There is also a connected park that is only open during the day with a beach. 

    Fully facilities including water and power hookups, a central dumping station. Flush toilets and showers included. A playground for the kids. 

    River barges keep things along the river interesting. Maybe road noise from the nearby highway was a bit louder than we'd like.

About 10 miles outside of Pendleton, OR (post office for mail and packages, Walmart Supercenter and Safeway. Arrowhead travel center for gas or munchies that has easy RV access. Free WiFi and 2 bars of Verizon LTE. Just off of Hwy 84. We did not enter the casino. Roosters restaurant in Pendleton provided safe distance dining in a clean environment.

    Sand Station Recreation Area

    Mostly day use

    We were here on a hot day, lots of families with kids using the beach and swimming area. There are no designated camp sites except for two gravel group sites with fire rings and picnic tables that you are supposed to have a permit for. We were not group camping but used one of those sites anyway as it seemed the only place to camp and no one else was camping.

    The site is right next to the freeway and train tracks, so is noisy. I used my ear plugs.

    All the day users were gone by 9pm.

    Scooteney Reservoir Camping

    Well maintained, beautiful setting

    Nice sites, some privacy. Ok clean flush toilets but no water in the sink. Water hub near each site. Picnic tables, fire pit. Place for big gatherings. Fishing is the big draw here. $15 night or $7.50 for seniors and disabled.

    Hood Park

    Closest Campground to the house!

    We do an annual trip here every Father’s Day weekend. Close to the river, plenty of fishing and swimming. The trees are nice. This is an Army Corp of Engineers campground so some federal rules apply: no firearms, no alcohol(at least not openly)

    The only issue we have is the sprinklers come on Friday nights and wash the tents for us. it’s good and bad.
