T mobile 5G. Dead fish and algae in the lake- green speckles. The water is green. The picnic tables are partially buried in the sand. The discovery pass including the processing fee was $13. The sites are big and well spaced along the reservoir shoreline. Saw about 3 Pit toilets equally spaced along the shore line. Nice old trees providing shade. Nice breeze to close the day. Can't see any flies.
Guide
We chose a spot in the rv tent area which was not very clean and very loud. Stay in the outer ring if you have an RV.
GuideThe place is pretty good! Except the wifi that is overused and make it difficult to even connect. In terms of outdoor activities and amenities it's a good stop
Guide
We visited in late June of 2024. Crescent Bar is a nice little community and the PUD park is beautiful. T.T. RV park was not in great shape. Sprinklers were busted in most of the park which created unpleasant dust storms. There are porta potties for the pool area and down the hill at the bathroom/shower you will find rotting interior walls and valves held together with copious layers of silicone. Fortunately for us this was just a stop over location while crossing Washington.
TravelerI love this state park, the landscape of glacial-carved coulees and sagebrush covered shrubsteppe is gorgeous and unique. The park is truly a geological wonder. As campgrounds go, this one is very windy! Keep that in mind if you are tent camping, as you could easily lose your tent!
If camping here I cannot suggest campsite 88 in campground D unless you are in an RV. It's just a very basic, gravel site with little shade, right by the road entering the campground, and not private at all. It is right across from a nice beach though so could be a good spot for an RV. Campsite 118 looked much better and I plan on choosing that site instead next time.
I do not suggest the Sun Lakes Resort campsite that is not managed by Washington State Parks unless you like being packed in like sardines. Camping at the state park managed campsite is far better.
Traveler
If you disregard the rough old permanent stayers, unclean, weeds and parked cars,, the lake view at sunset was beautiful
GuideThe score is more for the abundance of things to do in the area than for the campground itself.
I was there for a trail run race that went deep in the Sun Lakes back country and the floor of the Dry Falls area. Just stunning scenery. While I didn't get to partake on my trip, the lakes offer fishing, boating, and swimming.
The camping itself is the standard state park experience, sites close together, not much for privacy. But they are nice spots, and well maintained.

We loved this campground. The grounds were well maintained, and bathrooms were clean. There was a good amount of space between sites, which was great. Most spots were very nice, and many were right next to the water. My guess is that it's a busy park during peak season, but our shoulder season timing was perfect for peace and quiet. There are a couple of good hikes nearby, and I hiked the Steamboat Rock hike. The first 1/3 of the hike was more moderate with steep trails and scree, but it gets easier once you're past that.
TravelerPros: good fishing, good amenities (shower, bathroom, etc), price, cleanliness, availability. Cons: Typical designated camping stacked right next to each other so barking dogs, crying kids, or drunks are highly likely to be a nuisance. Overall it's really well maintained and accessible. There's a little grocery store/market/gas across from the park on 262 if you need anything.

We spent Thanksgiving weekend camping this year. The campground was partially open but very empty. The bathroom was open and warm, which was lovely. We hung out, hiked, fished, and enjoyed the deer, pheasant and wild turkeys wandering the grounds.

During the winter months while traveling construction workers stay here and work long days and hours the ownership does not allow large propane tanks for residents. This is unheard of in the northern states . Have to move sites every six months whether you like it or not. Would not recommend this park to anyone ownership over charges for propane and site spots that are called premium because they have trees that lean sap and leaves on your 100k RV . Trees are rarely trimmed . New management has just taken over and let’s see how they do, but I believe the ownership needs to come to reality. With not allowing large propane tanks during the winter month for the long working hour people.
RangerPerfect in every way. Close to a major town, store and restaurant across the road, giant sites with a good layout to still feel somewhat secluded and if you’re an angler, you’re 100 yards away from the boat launch.
ScoutThe park maintains front sites much better then back, cabins are not that great and not worth what they charge for them, they have only had 1 decent manager since they bought park and he left, their are much better parks in the area and don't charge as much, owners want Westside rates on eastern side of mountains, would not recommend
TravelerWe heard there was a ‘better’ campground down the street, but I saw it and would not have been as happy there. We have a beautiful spot with a view of the water, surrounded by green grass, a willow tree and pickle ball court. There are a lot more trees and privacy in this campground compared to the other one. We may have lucked out because it is the end of the season, but very happy here.

OK. Some friends and I arrived the day before the first of 2 shows by Dead& Company. We had Big Rig Gold camping tickets. First off they searched every vehicle for guns(I get it) but the dogs would alert if there were any, right? So why do they have some 20 something enter my RV afterward and search it while I'm being FRISKED! Here again wouldn't the dogs work for this. Second it wasn't an organized ordeal getting in at all. You have all these big motorhomes and travel trailers you know are coming so they water the grass? Yes alot of people got stuck in mud and had to be towed out. There was a paved road(for the staff) right next to where we had to enter. I guess they count and we didn't. Personally I think whoever was in charge of Big Rig Camping entrance should be fired. I sounds harsh but it was a complete cluster F%#k! Ok then we get in and it's a beautiful campground with a staff that didnt seem to have the slightest clue of where peoples awnings would be in relation to the sun in 90+ degree weather or how to park vehicles accordingly. I had to argue with the kid to park so we wouldn't fry in the sun for 3 days. He kept telling me"So you can get out easy". I finally told him"I know how to drive" and after 5 or 10 minutes he FINALLY gave up and I parked correctly for the weather. So finally all is well(I thought) LOL. 5 in our party with 3 vehicles and three disabled ADA customers. Day 2 time to go in. The regular ADA gate as shown on their website map is closed off and we have to cross several lines of people(At least the other customers were helpful-to the extreme) to get to the ADA entrance into the venue. Finally got there and all went well. Day 3 the same thing crossing through all the other people in line to get to our entrance(ADA gate on map still not open) Then someone obviously decided all the disabled people had to be searched AGAIN after the front gate fiasco. I felt like I was being punished for being disabled. The search relulted in all the cripples baking in the sun with no shade and warm water to drink(That is if you brought your own). All in all another Cluster F%#k. LiveNation obviously doesn't care about their customers since they practically have a monopoly on large venues. Tickets were grossly oversold. I went in 2019 and there was no problem finding a place to sit on the grassy hill to watch the show then. This time it was standing room only and still hundreds and hundreds of people kept coming in until it was so crowded it got very uncomfortable with no real air circulation due to it being so crowded and 90+ degrees. Before LiveNation they used to have misting stations for people that overheated. So crowded my wife fainted(I've been with her 22 years and have NEVER seen her faint or wilt in the heat in the slightest. She's always lived in central Washington and is used to the heat. Thank God there was a nurse behind us that took charge and helped her. Kudos to the medical staff that did get there once a customer dialed for help. 911 I think. Once they arrived they acted in a very efficient and kind manner and checked ALL her vitals right down to blood sugar levels at the medical tent. They gave her 2 IV's of saline and the Doctor made sure she was OK before releasing her. They then gave us a ride back to our campsite. The medical staff was amazing! The rest of the personel NAH. LiveNation ruined yet another venue. I will NEVER EVER go to another LiveNation venue, I'm done! For the prices they charge, what you get in return is pathetic.

Cabin was old but okay with bathroom and shower. Campground wasn’t very nice and kids weren’t friendly.
LegendWell maintained with lots of trees which is not typical for the surrounding area. Had full services which was nice because it was warm and the air conditioning was appreciated.
Scout
Staff was super nice and check in process very easy. Great playground for kids, nice store in case you forget anything. The sites are pretty close together, but not too close to be uncomfortable. Nice big area for dogs by the store and pool.
ScoutWhat used to be lush green grass is now dirt (not dyrt). Tent camping in the has lush green grass. In a month goat heads will fester your feet.
RangerYou’re not going to find the 5 star accommodation like some state parks but it’s a great value. Not too crowded in the area yet and very close to home. Would like that they didn’t give the premier sites to tent only, but oh well ! Looks like you would have to pay extra for wifi but we haven’t ever had an issue with cell service.
RangerGranted we are here off season but the swimming pool, hot tub and clubhouse are immaculate. If you’re tent camping, no worry - bathrooms have showers and are extremely clean. Sites have full hookups 30/50 amp and heated coils to prevent any water freeze. Extremely impress, already one of my favorite off season spots.
Legend
This lake is purported to have healing powers, so why not stop for a night and take a dip? There were just a few sites, right up on the lake with power and water. The shower house was a bit grungy. Had to call a number that was posted on the bathhouse to make your reservation.
The lake was pretty and calm when I arrived and a big rainy/windy storm blew in overnight that shook the van.
The biggest downside was my neighbors a few sites down looked like they were living there and had all kinds of traffic and visitors all night long. I suspected drug activity and wished there had been a camp host for this price.
RangerClose to Moses Lake and Wenatchee - perfect getaway for the weekend. Beautiful sites near the river and the area is rapidly growing with activity. Seems like everyone has a dog. 😆
Legend
We spent an overnight here, but it was sadly not a great stay. I can’t recommend this spot for the following reasons:
The site was backed led up against the highway and was not only was it so loud we couldn’t sleep—it literally shook the rig despite stabilizers. If we’d been further into the park, it still would have been uncomfortably loud.
There is a highway bridge that leads directly in the park—almost directly into the site we were given. People were constantly walking into the site from the bridge day and night. This felt less safe than much of the isolated boondocking we’ve done—or honestly any of our camping.
Our site was covered in trash. It could be in part due to the highway, but I’ve never had site with more trash left behind ever.
No access to WiFi, this could be because we never spoke to staff. The restroom closest to our site was unexpectedly locked—had to use the other that had only one shower stall and two toilets. Shower was fine and had hot water, but that bathroom couldn’t support the volume of campers.
The staff left midday and were completely unreachable. We needed to find out spot, purchase quarters for laundry, and had questions about amenities/ the campground and we’re unable to talk to anyone.
Amenities were ultimately fine and if none of those other elements bothered you ^ you’ll be fine.
RangerThe description of this campground provided in the “About this campground” is quite accurate. From the campground you can do boat activities or hiking. We also did a very nice long bike from the campground but for some sections of it we had to share the road with fast car traffic. While you will need to drive there it also makes it a nice base from which you visit Grand Coulee Dam. We went there at the beginning of October and the weather was quite nice. It would probably be too hot for us during the summer.
RangerI see this camp on The Dyrt, and find it easily. Just as described, there are 14 tent spots. Really nice, elevated, and on flat, sandy comfort. But cheap labels say ‘no tent camping’. Where it gets weird, phone on Dyrt goes to the city of Soap Lake, closed. (It’s 430). All signs say this belongs to Soap Lake Resort & Spa. No answer on phone, yet open until 6. No host, no self-registration AND they want $45/night. I talk to RVers on lakeside spot. They are upset because booking foul-ups & no one to help them. They say CAMP. So I did. Hwy 17 noise is loud, but infrequent at night. Bathrooms were decent, with a nice hot water shower. So it was nice, but weird
Guide
Like the title says, it’s not a bad little resort. We really enjoyed our weekend here. The swimming area was great. The place was full of kind regulars that come every season. The staff was also kind. Overall I think we will come back again.
