Yakima Sportsman State Park is, literally, an oasis in the desert.
Located near the urban amenities of Yakima in arid eastern Washington, this park attracts local picnickers, out-of-town visitors and road-trippers passing through.
Birds flock to Yakima Sportsman, and so do birders, their binoculars and field guides in hand. The Yakima River flood plain sustains a natural wetland of marshes, grasses and ponds, welcoming habitat for 140 bird species. Wood ducks are the stars of the show, but dramatic red-winged blackbirds, herons and hawks make their home near the park's juvenile fishing pond, which is stocked with rainbow trout and open to young anglers.
The gentle trails come alive in season. The trees turn red, orange and yellow in fall, and spring brings a riot of lilies, chokecherry, dogwood and blossoming catalpa trees. Green lawns and tree shade make this a lovely camping or picnic spot in summer.
PARK FEATURES Yakima Sportsman State Park is a 266-acre camping park originally created by the Yakima Sportsman's Association to promote game management and the preservation of natural resources. The park is an irrigated green zone in an otherwise desert area and has a variety of deciduous trees in the camping and picnic areas.
More than 130 species of bird make wildlife watching a delight. The campground is a stay-over place for events at the Yakima Sun-Dome and fairgrounds.
The park has 37 standard campsites, 37 full-hookup sites, one dump station, two restrooms (both ADA) and four showers (all ADA).

Bethel Ridge 4x4 trail is located above U.S. Highway 12, Rimrock Lake and skirts the ridge. Starts at Forest Road #1500-324 and ends on the 1400 road. Camping is allowed, but permit required.
We camped here for 4 days this summer. It was peaceful and quiet. The view from the camp site is simply stunning. The glassy smooth waters reflect Mt Adam's glacier like a mirror. The campsite we picked was large enough to accommodate our 22 ft trailer plus truck and a Jeep. The outhouse was cleaned daily but can get stinky at the end of the day. There is no official swimming area, but the shoreline has many great places to take a dip in the clear cold water. There was a few mosquitoes but not too bad. Best to go in late summer to avoid the mosquitoes. The road in from Randle is a bit rough at times for a car but doable.
We look forward to our annual camping trip to Trout Lake every year. The view of Mt Adams is amazing and the park is a great place to have family gatherings. We love it there!
Sites were super shaded. Lots of trees for some privacy. Easy lake access close by. Only complaint is that it’s deeep in the woods and took a while on a gravel road to get there but that’s not a real problem is it. Lots of mosquitoes in July so bring your bug spray. Toilets are vault toilets I’d bring extra TP just in case. And bring your paddle board or kayak!
Large sites, some with access to the River. Highway noise was pretty loud in some of the upper sites. Bathrooms (pit toilets) were very clean and the camp host was lovely! Nice recreation area nearby.
My family and I have stayed at Bumping Lake for years. It’s off grid and the spots are large and private. The lake is great. There is a lot of hiking and biking trails.
We found a site right by the river. Some shaded sites are available too. Camp host was very friendly and helpful.
So my partner and I had chosen to stay here for a few nights, we didn't reserve online, when we got there the ranger allowed us to go see which spot we liked, because there was a lot open. We chose spot 64 the one way in the back for tent campsites. When we got there, there was 3 others tents up in the area, spread apart of course a good length too. I read that there was a "Homeless" problem, but I didn't see one homeless our whole stay...besides myself lol I bought a power station and had to charge it at a RV spot #15. There I charged my phone and laptop. I did leave my shampoo and conditioner in the showers and those were taken, who can blame em, they were good ones. Lol my own fault. Anywho...bring some shower sandals because the showers are dirty...but they are FREE. Bathrooms are nice and clean. We didn't get bothered once, we got left alone, and even though we looked like the crazy tweaker tent there, cuz we had tarps over our tent....but it was raining. Lol A skunk did cross our path and ran behind our tent...but that's all the action. During this time it was $25 a night for tents. It was close to town but not TOO close....BIG park. For dogs and kids...good park
Very quiet sprawling camp area
They have great bathrooms and showers picnic and covered areas, great play set for kids. Clean water electricity dump area and full hookup pull through areas
I visited with friends from Victoria BC. It's our tradition to rent an RV and drive down to Washington at least once every few years. This Spring we did just this, getting to the Yakima Sportsman State Park with little hiccups. The site was average, but not clean and our neighbors looked like the greasy type. We still had a blast because instead if renting an RV we bought a used cheap one and got it cleaned from Auto Detailing Victoria before hitting the road. Most of our camping was done on the road, so this campsite was actually a relief to us even if it wasn't great. Better than camping in a parking lot!
I have never been treated with such disrespect and disregard from an establishment in my life—and highly recommend you DO NOT SUPPORT THIS CAMPGROUND. I made a group reservation for a long weekend for 4 campsites to celebrate me and my husband's wedding anniversary in August 2023. We both got COVID and unfortunately couldn't go(which was sad enough), but our friends went and celebrated without us! I had put down a deposit of$345 and not knowing this, my sister-in-law paid the$388 for their stay. I called Rimrock Lake Resort to let them know that we had been double charged and they refused to refund the money. When I insisted and said this was not okay, I heard the owner in the background say"just hang up on her" and they did—and have refused to take my calls since. DO NOT TRUST THEM. THEY DO NOT DESERVE YOUR BUSINESS. I not only was unable to attend my own wedding anniversary, but am out$345 that I will never see again. Truly horrific.
I would not return unless many changes were made- my first time here and probably my last
Great for kids, big playground and easy walk near lake.
When I was younger I used to come up to Bumping Lake with my grandparents. This lake had always held a special place in my grandpa's heart. Though it has changed much since my childhood camping trips with my grandparents this place still has that special something. This time around my cousin invited me and my brother along for a Memorial weekend camp out and I just had to accept. I am embarrassed to admit how long it'd been since I've been camping last so this trip was a must for mind, body and soul. We came up on a Saturday and totally lucked out cause we got the one space that wasn't reserved which had to be a blessing from our late grandpa smiling down on us. Being it was Memorial weekend I thought the campground as well as the lake were going to be crazy both in people everywhere and it being loud at night. Thankfully this was not the case. Sure all the campsites around us were filled but everyone was super quiet and respectful. There is a really nice day use area by the boat launch that is $8 for day use or free if you got a campsite. There are picnic tables as well as fire pits with grills to cook food. There can be a pretty good breeze on the water so make sure to bring a jacket or a hoodie cause it can get a bit chilly even on a nice day. We also got to see jets make a few passes while there on the lake which was pretty darn awesome as well. I was told they use the area as a training grounds and can usually be seen once or twice a day. The water was a bit to cold for myself but my younger brother and cousin jumped in numerous times and would usually both start and end the day with a dip. 2 of the 3 nights I slept out under the stars on a cot and it was amazing the sleeping bag along with my Eddie Bauer throw blanket were sufficient enough to keep me cozy all night which surprised me since it was in the mid 30's. Between the fishing, relaxing and exploring I had an amazing weekend and cannot wait to get out camping again. Thinking Bumping lake needs to become a yearly trip at minimum just wish my grandpa was still around to enjoy it with. Do yourself a favor and get out to Bumping lake you will not regret it.
Fire pits were nice plus a park bench each. Bathrooms clean, showers were still winterised sadly (cold only). Trains were slightly noisy during the night.
Very nice place to stay, helpful staff 👍
Unable to access due to park entrance gate closed.
Tightly spaced sites but the setting more than makes up for it as does the friendly staff. Enjoyed our time here and especially the chance to dip in the lake! Just beware of the lack of cell reception (no WiFi either) if you’re working from the road!
Beautiful views Quiet and secluded campground with plenty of campsites available in the Fall. The trail around the lake is peaceful and easy-going, with views of Mt Adams at the day-use parking lot. There are campsites along the water with trails to the water. This campground is a perfect spot for lakeside hanging, fishing, and paddleboarding.
The restrooms didn't have toilet paper, so make sure to bring your own. No potable water at the campsite either.
We stayed a couple nights in early August. We called about a week in advance and they got us a spot in their otherwise full campgrounds. Although we were next to the road (Hwy 12) we had a decent peekaboo view of the lake. Sites 2,3 and 4 are pretty tight, but we were thankful. The owners are new, but were very responsive to our calls for updates regarding nearby wildfires and general questions. Bathrooms and showers were very clean and employee 'Shirell' was so kind that each night she would stop by to pass out dog treats. I know they're putting in the work to improve the campgrounds so we'll look to book summers for kayaking and winters for snowshoeing.
We camped on site #42 and it was perfect location. We didn't want to be right on the water as our dogs would be in it 24/7. This site you could still see the water and hear it. We found many paths down to the water, even some places to soak if we wanted. The bathrooms (glorified outhouse) were always clean and had toilet paper. There is no running water, so we brought our own. Everyone was pretty quiet and the hosts were wonderful. We will definitely come back again. We drove into Yakima to check out WilRidge winery and go pick cherries.
We stayed for two nights at the end of April ‘22. Passing thru on a coast to coast trip. A typical state park facility and the staff was attentive to the campers. Bathrooms were the usual. There were some sketchy younger folks who looked a bit questionable, but I probably did when I camped in college. My partner found one guy staring at our sewer hose. I don’t remember doing that myself…. It’s on the north side of the valley, so you have to get back on the interstate if you are there to visit wineries. Walmart and Target nearby. April was in the low 50s, but we came back for a picnic in July and it was 102. Lots of shade available.
I loved this place. we stayed during the week, so there wasn't anybody there. we really got to take it in. beautiful place, bring your kayak. really nice people runnin the show over there. no reception until you get on the lake... great place to have an office for a minute. also I've got a crew cab long bed with a 26' trailer, little tight but had a little extra room.
This campground had availability when I called less than a week in advance and was not super busy when we were there, making it the perfect place for our family to group camp for mom’s birthday weekend. We were in sites 15 (20’ truck camper) and 16 (30’ Class A RV), which both have water/electric hookups. Some sites have full hookups but there are super clean bathrooms with showers and porta potties so you’re good to go even if you don’t have a full hookup site or if you’re car camping with a tent. Both of our sites had gorgeous views of the lake.
The campground has a cafe and convenience store in the main building. Firewood for sale. Dump station for those without the full hookups. It is close to hiking trails and scenic attractions. We walked the Clear Lake interpretive trail (paved and accessible for all ages and abilities) and checked out Clear Creek Falls, which was spectacular.
Couple minor drawbacks: the road noise since you’re right off hwy 12 and the sites are pretty close together. Considering the size of the campground, they did a good job with site placement. It is definitely not one of those parking lot campgrounds where rigs are lined up side by side. But if the place go busy, it would be a little cramped for our preference.
Overall, a great place and we would come back again!
After 22 bumpy miles on NF-23, you’ll eventually come upon a truly hidden gem. Under a 4 hr drive out of Seattle, Takhlakh is worth the drive, every time. A campground nestled in dense forest with a perfect view of Mt.Adam’s in the background, you’d think this place were an early 2000’s PC screensaver. You’ve got fishing, swimming, nature-walks, hiking, or just sitting by the campfire. Takhlakh has truly something for everyone.
*Last visit (2008) basic vault toilet. Could be different now (2022)
Mid September ideal time with hardly any people and no mosquitos. Hiking trails to giant rockfall and slopes of Mt. Adams readily available. Pulled a small camper trailer in with no problems, although the last few miles are dirt, so pay attention to ruts and holes.
Lots of things to do and see in the area and this is a nice place to rest as its very quiet but easy to get to.
