Best Dispersed Camping near Kennewick, WA
Dispersed camping near Kennewick requires preparation since most sites lack facilities. If you're heading to Kennewick City Park Campground, bring everything you need - there's no water or toilets on-site. The state park areas around Kennewick follow strict Leave No Trace rules, and you'll need to carry out all your trash when you leave. When camping in the National Forest land, stay at least 200 feet from water sources and maintain distance from forest roads. Many roads leading to these camping areas get rough, and you'll want a vehicle with good clearance, especially after rain. Fire bans happen regularly in summer, so check with the ranger district before your trip. The closest grocery stores are back in Kennewick, about 25-45 minutes from most dispersed sites, so stock up before heading out. You can stay up to 14 days in most spots before needing to move at least 5 miles away.
