    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Columbia Sun RV Resort maintains meticulously groomed grass areas between full hookup sites where pets are welcome. This modern facility in Kennewick offers spacious RV spots with clean facilities and convenient access to urban amenities. Franklin County RV Park provides pet-friendly accommodations near the Pasco sports complex with reasonable rates for Good Sam members. Pasco Tri-Cities KOA features multiple pet walking areas and a dedicated dog run where leashed pets can exercise. All three campgrounds enforce standard pet policies requiring owners to clean up after their animals and keep them leashed when outside the RV. Some visitors note the parks have lush grass areas perfect for pets to enjoy during their stay.

    Hood Park and COE Lake Sacajawea Charbonneau Park allow pets at their waterfront camping areas near Burbank, providing access to shoreline trails for dog walking. Both parks operate seasonally from May through early September with boat-in and drive-in access options. Campers should be prepared for summer heat when bringing pets to the Tri-Cities area, as temperatures frequently exceed 90°F during peak season. The noise level varies significantly between locations, with highway-adjacent sites like Pasco KOA experiencing more traffic sounds compared to the quieter waterfront parks. Some campgrounds offer coin-operated laundry facilities and showers, practical amenities for longer stays with pets. For those planning a longer stay at a pet-friendly campground near Kennewick, the waterfront parks offer a noticeably quieter alternative to the more urban RV facilities. The European bakery near Pasco KOA receives enthusiastic mentions from campers with pets who appreciate nearby services.

      RV Resort Four Seasons

      Lots of hookups

      This site was right next to Fort Walla Walla, with a park and dog park. Not much else here but weird animal statues and long-term RVers. Lots of hookups for RV and trailers. No tent or car camping. The bathrooms were still closed June 2021, need to use your own hookups.

      Horn Rapids RV Resort

      Great spot

      We were passing through and Horn Rapids was perfect for our use. It has a nice little mini mart, drive through spots, full hookups, playground for the kids, clean bathrooms/showers, and allows pets. It is also close to Safeway and right outside the gate is a camper trailer friendly gas station with diesel.

      We will definitely be adding this spot to our route again when we pass through.

      Umatilla Marina & RV park

      Nice place to go and just relax on your way to your next destination

      First of all, the staff is very nice and respectful. The campground is very clean. The bathrooms have showers and are well kept. They provide wifi, water, sewer and power at the sites. It's a bit pricey for being as basic as it is but when you look around at other campgrounds in the area and nationally the price is right in line. Next to Umatilla park so that's a bonus. Marina is just down the hill. Pet friendly. I would stay again.

      Crow Butte Park

      Fun stay

      Spent a fun weekend here. Site was easy to back into. Clean and level. Lots of shade and grass. Allows pets (on leash) fun little park for the kids and nice little beach for swimming.

      Blue Valley RV Park

      Nice Campground

      Our GPS took us right to the campground (CG) plus there was plenty of Blue Valley RV Park signage to guide the way into a small industrial area and the adjacent golf course. Check-in was quick and we proceeded to back-in site 8 with FHUs. The utilities are towards the back of the pad, so I had to use two sewer hoses to get from the main black tank on our Brinklely G model. The sites on this side of the CG are nicely landscaped with a decent amount of room. After reviewing all the rules on line, we were a little concerned but the management was not overbearing and there are four main rules as displayed when you check in 1) 5 mph speed limit, 2) don’t park in the road) 3) pick up after your pet, and 4) pets on a leash. Water pressure was good at about 50 psi. We got 4 bars on Verizon. There were no mature trees in our area, so we did not have a problem getting a clear shot north for our Starlink. We logged into the Wifi and it was above average, but the CG was not full. The CG is near a small but nice industrial area near the police station and humane society. Go to Walla Walla’s main street area where there are far more wine tasting rooms than you can do in a day. Grab pizza from the Sweet Basil Pizzeria. This CG was a good choice to visit the area.

      Pendleton KOA

      If you have another option go there

      We have been here for month and honestly that 29 days to long. This place is okay for one night but if you want piece and quiet, this place is not it. The spots are so close together that you can hear others conversations. Every other day we were woke up from the park staff talking beside my RV running sprinklers, doing lawn care, or something. Don't leave anything on their picnic table or they will knock on your door at 9:30 am and they will keep knocking til you answer. Sure there's wifi but good luck using it. Pet park really stinks. Yes dogs use it but they don't treat it so on a sunny day it's strong stinch of piss. Almost Unbearable. Staff in the office are sweet but maintenance guy is an asshole. But the veins are beautiful.

      Established residencies
