Best Glamping near Pomeroy, WA

This a a great site with all the amenities. It provides a boat launch and nice sized RV lotes. It is kid friendly and is a 2 minute drive from Lower Granite Dam if you want to take a tour. It is also a 10 minute drive from Illia Dunes for a day trip.

Clean bathrooms, green lawns everywhere, nice big campsite, and nice family beach area. Lots of garbage cans everywhere but no recycling. The showers were kind of dirty. When you reserve online they don’t allow you to pick your site and so you get what you get and we ended up with a view of the bathroom. Tip- call after booking online to request a site. The winds come through quite a bit which helps with the heat but make sure everything is secured down. A train also comes through right next to the campground at least once a day and it’s LOUD. WIFI is really weak and there is no cell service.

Nice clean park. Owners went the extra mile to accommodate our granddaughters graduation party when the wind and rain came blowing in

Super safe and well organized. A little pricey and you need a reservation. Usually packed. Great for families (large and small), boaters, fishers, and the casual glamper needing a break. Bathrooms and showers were clean and accessible. Very developed campground, so not very outdoorsy. If you need a break from people this may not be for you

So, I should start by saying that we didn't end up camping here, as it's a first-come, first-serve camping site. It was about a two hour drive from Walla Walla, and we didn't get there in time to find an open camp site. We did drive around the entire camp site and walk around, and it was beautiful. Suitable for both RV and tent camping. I'd just like to warn potential campers that the GPS gave us the wrong directions and took us on this very backwoods road that was pretty much not a road and the side of a mountain. There is a real road going to this campsite!

Very dry with little tree coverage. Loads of people and every campsite was full. Lakes are great for fishing with kiddos. Cannot ride dirtbikes or 4 wheelers in the campsite or on the road unless street legal. If you go up higher towards the horse corrals it isn't as dry and tends to be less crowded.

Free during the off season but don't get stuck with a dead car battery. Can get really cold and no phone service and very few people pass by.

Tucannon is a place I’ve been coming to since I was a kid. Absolutely love the area. Quiet and away from others.

Along Tucannon Rd there are several free state campgrounds, and right where the road turns to dirt there is this USFS campground. It’s $8/night, no host on site, no reservations, self pay at the board. Really peaceful and quiet, very beautiful. 

At the end of the campground is an Environmental Learning Center/ kids camp, so you may get some traffic from that. There’s also a little hiking trail that was overgrown and unmaintained when we were there, it was really beautiful though. Pit toilets here, no water and no trash, no amenities. Zero cell reception in this entire area, pretty much all the way until hwy 12. 

The sites here at this campground all have different configurations, most didn’t look level, but there were a bunch that would have fit our 26ft class c. Sites 15 & 16 are in one huge area off by themselves (together), so a big group would fit here well (2 car limit per site, 8 people limit per site), so 4 cars and 16 people for the large lot with 15 & 16. 

There’s a nice creek running through here, so the sound was nice and soothing. 

When looking at directions to get here, heads up that the roads that connect Tucannon Rd to Hwy 12 going east are not suitable for big rigs, so you’ll have to drive west all the way to Hwy 12 then to Delaney and then take 12 east from there.

We have stayed at Chief Thimothy quite a few times. It doesn’t seem as well kept as other parks we like! The grass is blotchy, so if there’s rain, there’s mud...no rain,lots of dust and dirt! Easy access to the river with little docks along the shore. Swimming area available,too! Bathrooms, laundry, and full hookups all available. Dog friendly!

I love coming here when I need a escape

But crowded. Pretty cool to stay on an island though

Chief Timothy is a great campground about 7 Miles outside of Clarkston, WA. Perfect location for swimming, kayaking, and fishing! There is also a trail all the way around the island for hiking/walking with great views!

We went for a family reunion. We had a good time. It was very crowded. If you dont mind campsites that are open and no tree blocking and your neighbors are right next to you. However we did have access to water from our campsite. That is always a bonus.

My wife and family were freaked out about the bugs… wanted to boondocks after 1 night. Loud party going folks next to us - nice. Spots away from the river are better shaded.

Overall a good and clean stay on the water. Lots of bugs and very dry. Cute little gift shop!

Great place to take the family

We went during Memorial day weekend which is a very busy camping weekend. It's a cool spot and the drive there is beautiful. It's the only campground in the general area meaning it's the only bathroom nearby. I'm sure the experience would be different if it wasn't a busy weekend. The entire time people who were dispersed camping would constantly drive into the campsite to use the bathroom. I mean all hours of the night and early morning. Other than vehicles constantly driving in to use the bathroom, the campsite is decent. I would honestly recommend dispersed camping in that area. There are a lot of dirt roads off the main road that lead to dispersed camping areas that have amazing views and more privacy and not right off the main road. We would of done the dispersed camping but did not come prepared for it. Going when it is not a holiday weekend might be more enjoyable. There is one trail straight from the campsite but doesn't really lead to anywhere. The trail had some nice views.

This campground is great. Everything you need!
