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!

We visited this KOA for several years on 4th of July to visit a concert in Walla Walla. In the early days this KOA was nothing more than dirt tent sites. Since then, it has developed into a nice campground with mature trees for shade and grass at each site. The river is easy access for launching motor boats and it is across the bridge from Palouse Falls and Lyons Ferry park for kayaking, swimming and a good picnic spot.
Traveler
We have stayed here many times. 10 years ago was one of our favorites. Our families came from all over Oregon and Washington, even California. We came from Missouri. What an amazing family reunion. The park rangers were so nice. They had informed classes about animals in the forest. The Jr rangers program for the children was wonderful and hands on.

The Nary National Wildlife Refuge is very close.
We enjoyed Round Table Pizza and Kiko's Tacos in Kennewick, WA.
Guide
First off - you will need a higher clearance vehicle to reach this campground, and signage may be limited so make sure you know your step by step directions beforehand. The road is basically a forest service road with ruts and high bumps. Our group made it in a Nissan rouge and a Rav 4, but it was pushing it a bit.
Once you are there it's amazing! Way better than Jubilee lake! Jubilee lake is crowded and you camp right on top of your neighbors. Here there's lots of room between you and your neighboring campsite - if you even have neighbors, we were the only ones there.
It's super quiet, very shaded, a really ideal campground. If you are looking to hike, it's a good spot, with access to a few trails. There's a pit toilet, and a freshwater spring.
Great place for astrophotographers when conditions are right!
Traveler
This area is very well maintained and the staff is very friendly.
RangerWe camped here May 2016. This park we tried the tent only site and it was a bit of a walk to haul all of our stuff. The trees were in bloom and bugs hatching & swarming, so that was a huge hurdle. Fishing was great off of the docks. Showers were nice, although not located in the tent part of camp. Bathrooms were ok, but no lights at night. The beach would be nice when the water is higher, otherwise it's just muddy.
TravelerThe campground is beautiful! Wish the US Corps of Engineers would make the season longer. Sewer is not available but they do have a dump station. RV sites have a crazy amount of space between them - so awesome to not have to look into your neighbors RV. We had a short walk to the shore with our paddle boards and a great day on the river. Down side - got a little loud on Sunday. Boats and personal water craft clogged the marina and the staff began their mowing and weed eating bright and early - guess they're reminding everyone of check out time. Regardless, looking forward to many more stays!
GuideLove this campground and will come back. My husband and I usually pull our ‘68 Aristocrat Lo-Liner but on this trip we were “roughing it” with a tent and a small SUV. I was happy that not only did we get a spot on the river, but there were free, clean hot showers centrally located. The back in spots were not too close together. Some spots offer shade, others are full on sun. And the catfish were biting!
ScoutNot worth spending your money here!!!! The bathrooms are disgusting and the site you pay for my don’t come with the amenities that you thought you were paying for because the camping site says one thing but willam can jut change the rules because he can I guess!!!!! DO NOT COME HERE
GuideCamped here from Tuesday through Saturday. Campground was quiet and clean. Be aware of what campsite you get as we picked spot 27 and we’re not made aware before hand that you need an escort to your site due to the site facing the opposite way of traffic. It is also right off of the train tracks and the train runs numerous times a day and early in the morning. Nice swimming area but unless you have a boat there is really nothing to do in the area. Did go see the Whitman Mission which was definitely worth checking out. Site 16 is the best but only has power, no water hookups or sewer. None of the site’s have sewer hookups. There’s a dump station on site though with a black water flush out and also potable water available. Site 27 was in the direct sunlight, no shade, all day. Also had strong side winds coming off of the lake. There’s a trail to the lake but we were warned not to use it due to the high likely hood of encountering rattlesnakes.
GuideThe road is a little twisty but had no issues with my 30 foot trailer. Good park for families.
LegendGeneral: 41 RV sites with water and electric plus 11 tent sites in a grassy common area.
Site Quality: Reasonable separation between the sites. The back-in sites are wide enough to comfortably fit a TT, 5th wheel or RV and your toad or other vehicle side-by-side. The pull-through sites are very large. All sites have gravel camper pads and most appeared very level or had a level area. Our site, along with several others, had a nice view of Lake Sacajawea.
Bath/Shower house: Clean even if a little dated. Didn’t use the shower so cannot comment on that except that the hooks are located outside of the shower stalls so even though there is a swinging door to the shower area, privacy is compromised a bit by this design.
Activities: Unless you have a boat (there is a boat launch and dock), not too much to do here except relax. There is a small swimming area but no beach to speak of (grassy and pebbly area). There is a playground and horseshoe pits but no hiking trails that I could see.
To get to this campground, you drive past many miles of apple orchards and then suddenly, you see the lake and campground. There are quite a few trees for shade. Surprisingly good cell (Verizon) given the remoteness of the campground. Be aware there are train tracks nearby and you will hear an occasional loud train. It was very quiet on the Wednesday before Labor Day, but we were told it would be completely full on the weekend.
TravelerPlayed games and found a little spot down to the water we enjoyed. Store close by to grab sodas for our burgers that night. Clean campground and bathrooms. Very friendly hosts!

This campground is great. Everything you need!
GuideThe campground has only has 5 sites, but we were the only campers. We camped the first week of June, so days were warm and it got cool enough at night to sit close the campfire. There are plenty of logging trails to hike within walking distance, and more a short drive away. The drive to Midway is beautiful, worth it even if you don't plan to stay overnight. There is one very clean vault toilet on site. No water, so bring your own.
GuideGreat place to take the family
GuideWe 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.
GuideFree 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.
GuideTucannon is a place I’ve been coming to since I was a kid. Absolutely love the area. Quiet and away from others.
ScoutVery 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.

Stayed Oct. 9th-11th 2020. Decent area. we stayed in site #49. super small. our table was within 6 ft of the next spots sewer drain. the camp spots in the middle of the camping around had terrible grass and no trees. camping stops around the perimeter had good grass and trees.
GuideA pleasant facility that is easy to drive and maneuver with a tow behind trailer. Sites were fairly level with lawn and a picnic table. Property is well maintained.
Sites 1-5 are across from the office and along the road out - so one needs to anticipate truck noise and idling early morning when people might be leaving. The RV park is well behind the casino complex - you need to drive past the truck stop and casino going north to reach the access road (it’s on the way to the golf course).
The casino and golf course are adjacent - but it’s a good hike; use the shuttle or just drive over. The casino facility have several restaurants and movie theaters. The City of Pendleton is about 10 minutes west should you need food or supplies.
TravelerIt's a casino... Decently quiet but typical casino parking.
TravelerEasy access for either pull through or back in. Fills up in the afternoon.
GuideWe stayed over on the Thursday night, which is a little less than on the weekend. The site was level, power checked out good and sewer and water were also provided. There is a picnic table. The pads are gravel, and there is a substantial amount of groomed lawn. The casino offers a free shuttle to the casino, or the golf course club house. We ate at Traditions, which was fine for burgers and beer. Later I saw that the food court has some interesting options. There is also a nicer restaurant that requires reservations.
The only bathroom/shower was right by the office. While it wasn't crowded, it was far from our site. The showers have a shelf made of tubes to put your gear. They do not provide a stool, bench or anywhere to sit to remove shoes. Overall the bathrooms were clean and modern.
GuideWe’ve always enjoyed this area my entire life. First time here RVing. Amazing golf course, super friendly staff, great clean pool! Breakfast at the course is awesome, within walking distance and great bang for the buck. Did not visit casino, but shuttle is readily available.
