Some RV parks have spacious grassy areas between sites which offer convenient spots for quick pet breaks. The proximity to veterinary services in the Tri-Cities area provides peace of mind for those traveling with pets. Weather considerations include hot summer temperatures that can affect pets, requiring extra water and shade planning during peak season visits.

      Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park Campground

      Nice location on the lake

      Nice spacious sites. Lots of privacy between sites. No dog park. Great view of the lake from your door. We took a 4 mile, one-way, bike ride to the town of Vantage and then to the Ginkgo Petrified Forest. The town of vantage is very small with a lot of closed shops. Has a gas station and convenience store. That’s about it. Very scenic area and quiet and relaxing.

      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.

      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.

      Vernita Bridge

      Free campground on Columbia River

      This is a Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife fishing access site. It is free with a Washington State Discovery Pass for $30/year. This annual pass will also gain you admission to state parks. There are several boat launch sites here and a number of those Sani Cans. The area is spread out over open land with smooth rocks. It can be a bit bumpy if hauling a trailer unless you stick to the smooth rock roads. No shade except along the shore.

      For a free site, it has its good points: easy access to highway 24/243 which will bring you to I-90, quiet, wide open space, near the Vernita Bridge Rest Area for free tank dump site. If you arrive on the last weekend of October, there is a huge king salmon fishing derby with about 100 entrants so you will have company. But, it is usually quiet midweek in the spring and fall. It may be busier in the summer midweek as there are lots of fishing enthusiast ps and boaters who live close by in the Tri Cities area.

      If you need a quiet place for one night or are hauling a river fishing boat, this is a good place to stay.

      Scooteney Reservoir Camping

      Pretty neat

      We tried to find a campground nearby because it was getting late and somehow this site never popped up on this app for me -but, we ended up seeing a sign for it and turned in and were pleasantly surprised. Water fountains, sinks, flush toilets, fire pits and all of that. There are (harmless) spiders all over the trees and bushes (but I've read that about almost all of the surrounding campgrounds). Not sure whether they enforce payments or not, but the sign said it was $15 per site with $5 for an additional car. This was a nice place to stop in the middle of nowhere. Also, most of the campsites were empty so we were able to have our pick from some great spots. Plus, we made friends with a very friendly cat who was staying there.

      Hood Park

      Watch for the Sprinklers!

      I appreciate the green in this park, but hate that the sprinklers have to be running almost non-stop to keep it that way. The noise of them scared my cat. 

      Tried to check in early, but was not allowed. Hung out in the day-use area. 

      The sites were big and some nice trees. 

      Electric, but no water. Was told to fill up jugs at the faucets scattered around the park. The water was disgusting! I filled one jug and it came out a light brown color. The park host saw the expression on my face and came over to tell me the water is tested every day and is safe to drink. Safe or not, I was not about the drink that. 

      There's a nice walk around a pond in the back of the campground. Overall, a decent place to stay if you're in the area, but not my favorite.

      Pasco Tri-Cities KOA

      Loved It!!!!

      Relatively new campground. They are in process of completing a playground and dog walk. They have a pool and hot tub. All laundry, bathroom and shower facilities require a code. Sites are average. Some come with grills and patio furniture. All come with picnic tables. Lush grass sites, very clean. Some highway noise but not that bad. Close to several towns and RV stores.


    Guide to West Richland

    Pet-friendly camping options around West Richland are situated in the Mid-Columbia Basin, where the landscape features rolling hills and high desert terrain at elevations between 400-1,000 feet. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F from June through August, while spring and fall provide milder conditions for outdoor recreation. The region experiences minimal rainfall, averaging less than 8 inches annually.

    What to do

    River activities at Hood Park: The Snake River shoreline offers swimming and fishing opportunities. "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," notes Nathan B. about Hood Park.

    Explore local wineries: Prosser's wine country features nearly 30 wineries and tasting rooms within short distance of camping areas. "This could be a nice basecamp spot for people who love exploring wineries. The small town of Prosser has almost 30 wineries and tasting rooms in the immediate area," reports a reviewer at Wine Country RV Park.

    Sports tournaments: Camping near sports complexes provides convenient lodging for tournament attendees. "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," mentions Jennifer H. about Franklin County RV Park.

    What campers like

    Clean, well-maintained facilities: Many dog friendly campgrounds near West Richland prioritize cleanliness and upkeep. "Immaculately clean, well laid out sites with a decent amount of space, clean bathrooms. For a one night stay, it was a very good choice," shares George L. about Horn Rapids RV Resort.

    Convenient amenities: Campgrounds offer various comfort features for short and long stays. "Showers were nicer than any other on our 2800 mile trip from Arkansas and park is quiet and shaded right by the water," writes Bud S. about Beach RV Park.

    Family-friendly recreation options: Many sites provide facilities for family activities. "Nice playground and RC track which our child loved. No wood fires allowed," reports Lawrence L. about Pasco Tri-Cities KOA, highlighting recreation options for younger visitors.

    What you should know

    Highway noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience traffic noise due to proximity to major roads. "Freeway noise aside, this is a great park with plenty of amenities. The park is very clean and the staff was helpful," Wesley M. notes about Pasco Tri-Cities KOA.

    Fire restrictions vary: Fire policies differ between campgrounds, with some allowing fires and others prohibiting them entirely. "No firepits but we knew that before going - brought a propane fire pit with us," advises David T. about Wine Country RV Park.

    Seasonal irrigation systems: Some parks use irrigation systems that may affect outdoor activities. "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," cautions Matthew S. about Horn Rapids RV Resort.

    Tips for camping with families

    Pool and play facilities: Several campgrounds offer recreational amenities specifically designed for children. "There is a really nice pool and hot tub, laundry room, showers, and a very nicely stocked store that includes hot food available," reports Jim J. about Horn Rapids RV Resort.

    Consider tent-specific areas: For families tent camping, look for dedicated tent spaces. "We were the only tent campers so we had a bunch of space. Fire rings and picnic tables at every site as well as a bunch of firewood," shares Alissa K. about Beach RV Park.

    Playground access: Parks with playground equipment provide entertainment for younger visitors. "This campground offers developed sites with hookups for campers. There is a playground and interpretive events for kids in the evenings. They even had some movies on the weekends," mentions Chris A. about Hood Park.

    Tips from RVers

    Space considerations: RV sites vary in size and spacing between units. "The lots are not real big, but the landscaping is pristine and overall the park is meticulously maintained," advises Jim J. about Horn Rapids RV Resort.

    Hookup availability: Check specific hookup options when making reservations. "We were only stopping for one night on the way home and having a level, nice pull-through site, with hookups was nice. We never even unhooked the trailer but was spot on level," shares Bruce P. about Pasco Tri-Cities KOA.

    Weather planning for pets: The region's hot temperatures require extra consideration for pet owners. "Although you can hear the traffic going by still a nice park. This is the trade off with being close to town but being close to civilization allowed us to go get items we needed and not have to rely on the usually overpriced camp stores," notes David T. about Wine Country RV Park.
