    Horn Rapids RV Resort permits pets at its well-maintained campground near Richland, surrounded by green landscaping and accessible to the Yakima River. The resort features full hookups for RVs with 50/30/20 amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections at each site. Pets must be leashed and supervised at all times. Additional pet-friendly options include Pasco Tri-Cities KOA, Beach RV Park, and Wright's Desert Gold Motel & RV Park, all offering dedicated pet areas. Most campgrounds maintain a maximum of two pets per site policy. The bathrooms at Horn Rapids are notably clean, with hot showers available to campers and their four-legged companions after outdoor activities.

    The Tri-Cities area provides numerous outdoor recreation opportunities for campers with dogs. Nearby trails along the Columbia and Yakima Rivers offer leashed walking routes with water access points where dogs can cool off. Campers should be prepared for the region's hot, dry summer conditions by bringing extra water for pets and avoiding midday activities when temperatures peak. Horn Rapids RV Resort's irrigation system runs during midday hours, which may interrupt outdoor activities with pets. Local pet supply stores are available in Richland and Pasco, with veterinary services located within a 10-minute drive of most campgrounds. The clean, well-maintained grounds at these RV parks provide safe environments for pets, though campers should note that most facilities require proof of current vaccinations.

      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.

      Sunnyside RV Park

      Good campground

      Mostly pull throughs. Sites are a little tight, but good for the night. Mostly gravel with a few trees. Showers, laundry, pool, dog park all available. $50 a night for full 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.

      Riviera Trailer Village

      Established residencies

      I feel compelled to share that we preferred Richland to Kennewick overall, so this will definitely show in my reviews. This was a nice little spot if you’re looking to stay for awhile

      Umatilla Marina and RV ParkPublic

      Umatilla Marina & R V Park

      Nice location next to the river. Good clean sandy beach and park. Lots of trees. Only 2 shower stalls for the whole camp ground. Tent spot 33 is next to the freeway, but away from the crowd. Dogs are welcome. Good view of boats and the water.

      Boardman Marina Park

      Great little stop!

      We stayed here in the off season, it’s first come first served parking, which ended up being really great for us. We got to park with a view of the river and away from other RVs. The spaces are large, there is a bathroom and showers on site. There is a nice walking path, and loads of grass and beach and places to walk your dog. We all had a very nice overnight experience.


    Guide to Richland

    The Tri-Cities area of Washington maintains mild winters and hot, dry summers, with temperatures often exceeding 90°F between June and August. Located at the confluence of the Columbia, Snake, and Yakima Rivers, the area's campgrounds typically sit at elevations between 400-700 feet. Summer camping requires extra water supplies, as Richland averages less than 8 inches of annual rainfall and humidity levels frequently drop below 30% during peak camping months.

    What to do

    Water recreation access: Hood Park offers direct access to the Snake River with a boat ramp and swimming beach. "We stayed here for a day, nice place for car camping, easy snake river access," notes Saugat B. Beach RV Park provides water access with "fire rings and picnic tables at every site as well as a bunch of firewood," according to Alissa K.

    Wildlife viewing: Several campgrounds connect to wildlife areas with hiking trails. "There is a connected wildlife preserve that you can walk around in and also fish in that is a separate area. Lots of birds to watch," explains Nathan B. about Hood Park.

    Sports facilities nearby: Franklin County RV Park sits adjacent to sports complexes. Jennifer H. shares, "We stayed here during a baseball tournament and you couldn't beat the convenience of walking over to the Pasco sports complex. Plus we caught a dust devils game and just had to walk across the parking lot."

    What campers like

    Spacious sites: Many RV parks offer well-maintained grounds with ample space between sites. At Horn Rapids RV Resort, "The lots are not real big, but the landscaping is pristine (think golf course) and overall the park is meticulously maintained," according to Jim J.

    Clean facilities: Campgrounds in the area maintain high cleanliness standards. At Columbia Sun RV Resort, Joe C. reports, "The whole park is beautiful and has a wonderful summer wind. Not far from stores and restaurants. Gas and diesel nearby. Very quiet and very cozy."

    Family amenities: Several parks include kid-friendly features. Pasco Tri-Cities KOA provides "lots of activities for the family," with Lawrence L. noting, "Nice playground and RC track which our child loved. No wood fires allowed."

    What you should know

    Irrigation schedules: Sprinkler systems operate during daytime hours at some campgrounds. At Horn Rapids, Matthew S. notes, "The only complaint I have is that the sprinklers go on in the middle of the day. So if you are doing anything outside there is a good hour break to avoid the irrigation water."

    Highway noise: Some parks experience road noise due to their proximity to major routes. At Pasco Tri-Cities KOA, Christopher N. mentions, "Yes, you can hear the freeway it it becomes white noise at night."

    Fire restrictions: Several parks prohibit wood fires due to dry conditions. Lawrence L. at Pasco Tri-Cities KOA notes that "No wood fires allowed," though some parks like Beach RV Park provide fire rings and wood.

    River traffic noise: Campgrounds near waterways may experience industrial noise. Robert A. says about Hood Park, "We were very tired the first night and the noises from the industrial traffic on the river did not prevent us from sleeping. Not so the second night."

    Tips for camping with families

    Find shaded sites: Temperatures regularly exceed 90°F in summer months. At Beach RV Park, Bud S. notes the park is "quiet and shaded right by the water," making it more comfortable during hot days.

    Evening activities: Some campgrounds offer scheduled events. Chris A. explains that Hood Park has "a playground and interpretive events for kids in the evenings. They even had some movies on the weekends."

    Swimming options: Several parks feature pools or river access. Columbia Sun RV Resort offers a "heated pool and hot tub, game room and more," according to Jeff M., providing relief from summer heat.

    Plan early morning outings: Midday temperatures can be uncomfortable for kids and pets. Stephen L. advises Hood Park visitors that "town is close by so you can do other things (groceries, laundromat etc.) while waiting for check in."

    Tips from RVers

    Utility considerations: Most RV parks offer full hookups with various amp options. Horn Rapids provides "water at your site and power for 50/30/20 amp cords," says Matthew S., making it suitable for different RV configurations.

    Pet areas: For pet-friendly camping near Richland, Washington, look for dedicated exercise spaces. Wesley M. at Pasco Tri-Cities KOA mentions, "Large park with dog run on far side, with smaller park (no dog run) on new side. Our St. Bernard loved exploring this little area."

    Seasonal availability: While many parks operate year-round, some have limited seasons. Hood Park is open "May 19 to September 5," according to their listing, requiring advance planning for summer visits.

    Pull-through options: Several parks offer easy access for larger rigs. At Wright's Desert Gold Motel & RV Park, Rachel A. notes it's "a bit of a quick offshoot after the intersection—be ready for that sharp turn uphill!"
