    Peach Beach RV Park on the Columbia

    Beautiful, serene location.

    Stayed here on a job for at least some 6 months, absolutely loved it. The hostess was very friendly, the adjoining small state park I believe it is is very convenient for pet owners, and the location is overall gorgeous.

    Council Lake

    Council Lake

    Love this campground! Only a few spot available and was very busy during the Labor Day weekend/week. Went up on Sunday and was lucky enough to share a spot with fellow campers (they were leaving the next morning) but every spot was taken and then some. It did clear out during the week and saw a few people throughout and it began filling back up for the weekend. They have a toilet there but make sure to take toilet paper with you because it’s not always full. We took our paddle boat with us and was a bit worried about how to get it down to the water. I had forgotten how steep it was but had no issue with myself and someone else getting it to the bottom. Once it was there we docked it there for the week and used as wanted. It wasn’t too hard getting back up. I even saw someone wench up their aluminum boat with their truck so you have options. Aside from fishing and boating there was the Council Bluff trail that starts in the middle of the campground and takes you to an amazing view of the mountains and the lake. Overall I enjoyed this trip and will camp here again.

    Peach Beach RV Park on the Columbia

    Oasis on the Gorge

    Clean, cute and well cared for park on the Columbia river. Rolled in at 11:30pm to a quiet park with well laid out directions and fresh peaches in our welcome bag. Called ahead letting them know we’d be super late with no problems, very accommodating. Nicely spaced, clean sites. No sewer hookups if on the river side but the view we woke up to was well worth it. The park is in the dryer part of the Gorge but this park surrounded by lush fruit orchards made it feel like an oasis. Definitely would stay here again.

    Patterson Slough on Rock Creek

    Not a dispersed camping area!

    Went to check it out but it's a nasty old concrete slab with a no camping sign, a cruddy old boat ramp, and a nasty body of water. No cell service and something creepy about the place...

    Yakima Sportsman State Park Campground

    Peaceful. Clean. Scenic.

    I was only there a few hours. This is a great go-to spot when fresh air, trees, or restful nap are what you need. Tent camping available. No over night camping allowed.

    Tieton River spot

    Nice spot on the river

    Four or five spots with fire circles, next to hwy 12 but the river drowns out the highway noise. Gorgeous spot on the river
