    Potholes State Park

    Perch Point nice shade and breeze

    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.

    Good camping

    The 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

    Hog Lake Campground

    Good stay

    Arrived early in the afternoon and got the last spot, looked to be a lot of people staying longer term; but still was quiet and there are lots of places to walk with pets/explore around camp.

    Sprague Lake Resort

    Amazing night here!

    We were on the last night of a long cross country road trip and looking for a place to stay on line. We were actually headed to another place, but followed signs to this place and I’m so glad we did! The camp host came out and greeted us warmly, despite being nearly midnight. She picked out the perfect spot for us and walked us there. I’m glad she did, because all spots are all grass and it’s a little difficult to tell where one stops and another starts. The campground has tent and RV sites, and is on the edge of Sprague Lake. Large, well manicures trees offer dappled sunlight, and an amazing front seat to birds! place is spotless. The woman was even raking goose poop. The woman in charge runs a tight ship, but the result is a quiet, clean, grassy oasis with bald eagles nesting next door. Two slight drawbacks, there are train tracks on the other side of the lake. It’s noticeable, but not deafening. Also, it was a bit pricey with a per person charge, a tax, then a 5% fee to pay with a credit card… but better than any alternative we had.

    Hog Lake Campground

    Spacious sites

    A lot of places to camp here all equipped with fire rings. We had a 30ft RV and drove in on the nice gravel road. We took the very last camping spot closest to the lake and it had a good amount of shade on all sides. It was big enough to fit two campers if camping with friends. The spot was very spacious and felt private. It was clean with only a couple specks of trash that we found.

    We walked down to the lake and it looked great for paddle boarding or small boats/rafts but not for swimming. There is a lot of seaweed and it’s murky.

    The area/sites are really dusty in July. Lots of dirt but the road is gravel. Sites are pretty well spread out.

    We took a little hike and saw a buck with a big rack on it, other deer, and a coyote. Great spot for back country hiking.

    Nice spot with wildflowers

    Easy access off of I90. Mostly quiet overnight stay as we heard some people from another site and the road was trafficked with people looking for sites. Train noise as well. A fire pit was available. But there was some broken glass and shell casings at our site

    Sun Lakes Park Resort

    Incredible views, but beware of heavy wind.

    I 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.

    Spring Canyon Campground

    Good park, subpar campsites

    I could see this spot being great for group sites. But the campsites were hard, small, and lacked privacy. Also, being in the upper loop, the Park Ranger made us extinguish our small tabletop smores solo stove. Not a big deal for us, but put a damper on our evening. 

    The beach and park were great! Lots of amenities—showers, sand beach, docks, volleyball, seating, grills, etc. However, the volleyball court sand was incredibly shallow and hard. Avoid diving to the ground while playing. 

    The Park Ranger let us know we could have a fire on the beach—which was the saving grace of the trip.

    Not worth the stop

    If you disregard the rough old permanent stayers, unclean, weeds and parked cars,, the lake view at sunset was beautiful

    Nice over night stay

    Nice over night stay, but 1st come 1st served. We got there about 4pm and luckily found the last spot. May have been one of the best spots as well.

    Sun Lakes Park Resort

    Amazing area, lots to do

    The 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.

    Lots of fire pit spots

    Access to Hog Lake was closed. Found a spot with a fire pit. All the spots are pretty spread out. Unfortunately not many treed areas for wood. Fairly rough terrain of sand and rocks

    Porcupine Bay Campground — Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area

    Early May Camping

    This camping spot is conveniently located off a well groomed gravel road just a mile or so from the main paved road. It’s the first campsite we came to as we drove into Lake Roosevelt. There were a couple other campers, but it wasn’t crowded at all. The only downfall is the sites are really close to one another. But the lake and beach are huge and there’s plenty of room for your dogs to play. There’s Fire pits and picnic tables for each designated camp site. Sometimes even a little firewood. We pulled our pop-up camper into site 7 which was perfect. Then we fished and enjoyed the evening under the stars.

    Nice Little Campground

    I occasionally go down here for fishing. Nice little campground. Easy access to the water. The waterfall really flows in the spring, but slows as summer sets in. Fishing was decent. The boat launch is only available during high water. When Grand Coulee starts letting the water down in Lake Roosevelt the Hawk Creek boat launch gets closed. Don’t worry there are a few other boat launches within a short drive (10-15 minutes).

    Dune Loop Campground — Steamboat Rock State Park

    Great Campground

    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.

    Pros and Cons are about even

    Pros: 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.

    Absolutely beautiful, and cold!

    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.

    Winter

    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.

    Great Spot

    We really enjoyed our night stay , it was very quiet and the campsites were spread out well enough that it was quite private! We will be going back . Can’t drive right down to the lake , but you can walk in and take the trail around it .

    Basic, but affordable and great hosts.

    We stayed one night here. The hosts were kind without being pushy. The actual camping spot is small, and pretty basic, but we didn’t need a bunch of fancy amenities. For camping sites In that area, Whimsey was very affordable. 

    Overall, it was quiet, affordable, and just what we needed.
