Nice , convenient, clean campsite.

This campground is easy to find right off the highway. The traffic noise overnight wasn't too bad and didn't disrupt our sleep. We had reserved z site online for $8 but there was only one other group that night. This is a dry campsite with clean and well stocked toilets. The en to Ireland site was impeccably clean. It is on the Colombia river so you could fish and there is a beach area for when it warms up. This site suited our needs perfectly. carry on.... P.S. some of the sites are large enough for RV'S. We kept our pickup hitched to our 21 foot camper and fit nicely.

Columbia River-side, new and neat

Nice campground, newly built and very nice quality roads/sites/bathrooms, with a few ADA-accessible sites as well. Not crowded at all toward the end of May. Right off the highway and on the Columbia River, but sadly the brush blocks any view of the water from our campsite. There is a small swimming beach and calm water which would be good for paddle boarding, but no docks or official put-ins. This site is pretty centrally located to some neat stops: Frenchman Coulee, Gingko Petrified Forest, Wanapam Dam, etc.

Good for a night

Because of location it gets very windy and very cold at night. No coverage but good if you need to stop and rest for a night.

Right on the river... And the highway

This campground seems almost brand new. There are no hookups and no water on site, though there are several vault toilets.

Each site has a picnic table, fire ring, tent pad, and path down to a rocky beach on the Columbia. The sites are definitely not large enough for most RVs, so I'd consider this tent or van camping only.

There's not much shade at the sites, but you can get out of the sun near the river.

The biggest drawback to this spot is that it's just of the highway. You can and will hear air brakes all night. For me, staying on the Columbia was worth it.

Hot, windy, and delightful

We arrived on a Thursday - only two other sites were taken.  We had site 8 - highly recommend.  It was REALLY windy at night, which made mosquitos not bad and the high temps feel downright pleasant.  The campsites are in great condition (gravel pad, picnic table) and the water access is great for kids - rocky coastline and calm water. We caught one fish and our 9 yr old caught minnows in a lagoon. Toilet (no water) was clean and serviced daily. FILLED UP on Saturday and we took off (too much noise).  The campsites have no shade, but by the water there are trees. Rocks at the water entrance are slippery - recommend some kind of water shoes or sneakers you want to get wet. Beautiful sunset and INSANE stargazing.

Beautiful Dust

Dusty. Minimal to no shade. Walk in sites are really tight. Heavy winds at night.  No running water bathrooms. Noise from highway at night is very noticeable. No recycling option. Fire pits but there was a burn ban for wood (charcoal and propane are ok).

Bathrooms are much cleaner than most typical public bathrooms with good supply of purell and toilet paper. The car sites seem really new with fresh pavements. Lots and lots of rocks, helpful for holding things down in the strong winds Easy access to River activities (swimming, boating, fishing, rinsing dust off) with short, maintained pathways. Many ADA features: multiple sites are set up for wheelchair access, even some paths are wheelchair accessible.

SiteSite 29 and 30.

Easy to get to and close to the River!

This spot is nice and easy since it's just off of I90. The Columbia river is beautiful and the best part of this spot. Not much privacy and right next to the freeway but we always feel safe here.

Simple and easy

I give this campground 4 stars for being easy and convenient. It's right on the Columbia river and one of the few campgrounds that allow bonfires. Otherwise I'd give it 3 stars for no frills about the location. There isn't any privacy at the campsites due to it being the desert. The stars and moon gazing are excellent!
