ScoutSo, 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!
TravelerWe stayed in this County Park campground primarily to spend time with some friends who headed down from Washington. It was great for that purpose- they reserved two adjacent campsites on the South Fork Walla Walla River. We spent most of our time hanging out at the campsites, with some leisurely strolls to check out the rest of the park. The sites along the river, and the river itself, are beautiful. They are angled nicely to allow views of the river(and less of neighboring sites), with vegetation between sites to add a little extra privacy. Our friends and most other campers were in larger RVs with bathrooms, which I think is the target customer. Since we have a small teardrop(no bathroom), we used the flush restroom at the park. The bathroom was clean, but not really comfortable to use, as the fixtures are "institutional"-style and solid stainless steel- made for durability no doubt, or to survive the next flood, but definitely uncomfortable on cold mornings! If we stay here again we will likely set up a portable bathroom. The gentleman who runs/maintains the park is pleasant and on the grounds regularly. Electrical and water hookups available, but no hot water or showers, and no cell reception or wifi.
GuideThe campground is somewhat primitive. There are flushing toilets on the lower loop, vault toilets on the upper loop. no showers, but you can refresh in the lake. The nights get chilly, so be prepared with warm socks and a beenie, especially if you’re tent camping.
There are no power boats allowed on the lake, so it is raft, kayak paddle board friendly.
The path around the lake is an easy walk, just don’t expect to sit on a bench and enjoy the view of the lake, the trees have grown up.
GuideWe tent camped for the weekend in mid-July. The plan was to camp at Jubilee Lake, but it was full when we arrived Friday evening. Target Meadows is just a short drive from the lake, but there were plenty of sites available. The campground is heavily wooded with beautiful evergreens. Sites are private and well spaced. This is a rustic campground, so there is no water or power. Amenities include (very clean!) pit toilets, picnic tables, and fire pits with cooking grates. There is a lot of dry timber on the ground, so it is easy to collect your own firewood. There is easy access to hiking, including Burnt Cabin trailhead. Most campsites are trailer friendly, including a few with drive-through access. We really enjoyed the area and will be back again!
TravelerCame here for an overnight stop while traveling through the area. Solid spot - 4 large sites with level spots, fire ring, picnic tables, vault toilet. Arrived around 5pm on a Saturday in October and 3 spots were available - the others filled up after me. Quiet and beautiful while being close to the highway. Perfect and pleasant for my overnight stop
RangerWe 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.
GuideDo not try to check in before 2 pm!!!! No alcohol allowed in park!
Typical Park campground outside of urban area. Decent swim beach area a lot of algae outside of swim area. Town is close by so you can do other things ( Groceries, laundromat etc…..) while waiting for check in. Spider issue others write about appears to be controlled. However every picnic table has lots of spider webs underneath!!!!
TravelerMy daughter had a softball tournament in Walla Walla so my sons and I opted out of the hotel and stayed one night at this campground! It was awesome-clean, each space was very private and the restrooms were great. The only thing that bothered us was the mosquitoes! We weren’t expecting that but once the fire got going, they stayed away. It was a short stay, but a great one and we left feeling very rested and happy!
Scout$12 a night for water and electricity. Clean area with grass and playground. Some areas appear to be under construction or upgrade. Dumpster and restroom available. Showers closed because of covid-19. Sights are on paved roadway with firepits and picnic tables. Easy in and out for our 32' Class A. Hermiston Oregon is 6 miles away.
