Long Lake near Warden provides dispersed camping with pet-friendly sites spread around the lakeshore. The primitive camping area requires a Discover Pass and features vault toilets but no drinking water or hookups. Pets must be leashed outside vehicles, with owners responsible for waste cleanup. Campers enjoy privacy between sites, with most spots offering enough room for tents and small to medium RVs. The gravel access road can be rough and washboarded, passable by passenger vehicles but potentially challenging. Long Lake sites offer direct lake access for fishing, with many campers reporting good catches and wildlife viewing including pelicans and weasels.
Several established pet-friendly alternatives exist within 20 miles of Othello. Potholes State Park Campground accepts pets at designated campsites with drinking water, electric hookups, and sanitary facilities. Mardon Resort and O'Sullivan Sportsman Resort both welcome pets with full hookup RV sites and cabin accommodations near the water. Sage Hills Golf Club & RV Resort features spacious pull-through sites with 50-foot minimum length, grassy areas between sites, and full hookups with 50-amp service. Most area campgrounds enforce standard pet policies including leash requirements, barking restrictions, and waste removal responsibilities. Sites often fill quickly during summer months and fishing season.
"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."
"We got site 98 which backs up to the lake. Great idea, but due to people having no manners, we had people walking through our campsite to get to the water to fish constantly."

"Tucked in right on Moses Lake. Good fishing & a beach with sand. Fully stocked store and friendly staff."
"Pros: The lake has a really pretty sunset view. Spots are spaced out and the ones by the water have picnic tables. Easy drive in."
"This is a must stop for anyone heading east or west through Washington. It’s easy to get to. Plenty of spots, I counted 7 to 8 along the water. But you can prob get another 5-6 more inland."
"A hidden gem near moses lake, wa. Easy to find from I-90. Very friendly staff. Good lake for fishing trout. Definitely will go back."
"It’s right next to a golf course, it’s absolutely gigantic and incredibly well manicured. Great for a family or longer term stay, though it was a bit expensive for us."
TravelerBig empty field with plenty of space for campers of any size. They have a vaulted toilet available if needed. The sign says you must register but there is no way to register. Discovery pass required. It’s well off the beaten path, in the middle of farms. There is a river & boat launch that plenty of people occupied but unless you go that way, you’d never know they are there.
ScoutNice stop. One night for me. A little pricey at $51 since I didn't need hookups but I rolled right into spot 11 on the river with a great view. Easy registration and clean facilities.
GuideCG is yards away from the highway on-ramp. Our rig would shake as semis accelerated past. Not to mention the general highway noise. Additionally, there’s a 24 hr fueling stop near the CG, so all night long there are trucks coming and going. CG was tidy, folks were nice, bathrooms were clean-ish. Did I mention it was loud? If you have to stay here avoid east perimeter spots 60-72, they are closest to the highway. I will not stay here again.
RangerI’m really pleasantly surprised by this site. It’s right on the way (closest we’ve ever gotten to stay because we’re a bigger rig). Close to town!!! Has a perfectly nice bathrooms nearby. Beautiful sunsets. Lots of room for spreading out. Not popular for late September. Mosquitos are out at night but not during the day time!
LegendSpent three nights here in site 43 which had full hook ups. Beautiful campground with grass everywhere and spaces are far apart from your neighbor. Nice clean showers. Right on the Snake river. About 12 to 14 miles to the nearest town for laundry, groceries, etc. Half price with the America, the beautiful pass.
GuideWe called while we were on our way. First that is not the telephone number.We finally talked to the lady who was scattered , not there and didn’t meet us there. A lady from the city met us and when we said we didn’t want to spend $50 for an empty lot in the warehouse district. She let us camp for free at the city park. It is not set up for RVs but she said they do let tent campers stay there. Call the city. Oh it is now called the Dusty Boot I believe.
GuideIt is basically a gravel lot along soap lake. It has full hookups and costs $52/ Night. Easy to get in. You have to use the QR code box on the board beside the gate. It works easily and you get your gate code by email quickly. The internet is strong but slow. We are using our Verizon with 5g signal. Showers nice and hot.
GuidePros: The lake has a really pretty sunset view. Spots are spaced out and the ones by the water have picnic tables. Easy drive in. Not many people here Cons: we visited in mid September, arrived around sunset, and the bugs were BAAAADDD, like real bad by the water. Went up to an inland site and they were still active but not as terrible. You can hear road noise. Also smells like horse manure
Update: some random man came and parked right next to us at 0630 to “walk his dogs”
RangerPit toilets clean and stocked. Sites spread out. Only one other camper on a Saturday. Diverse landscape with variety of birds Verizon 2 bars on ridge 1 bar in lower sites. No trash or water.
