Sun Lakes Park Resort Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Operated as a resort within Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park, Sun Lakes Park Resort Campground runs from late March through mid-October and provides full hookups for RVs up to 60 feet, along with showers, a dump station, and WiFi. Sites with water, electric, and sewer connections have drawn consistent praise, and one reviewer noted the RV sites have good shade trees. The on-site store, snack shack, kayak and paddleboard rentals, mini golf, a small pool, and coin-operated laundry make this a self-contained stop rather than a minimalist retreat.

Wind is the defining weather pattern here. Multiple reviewers across different seasons describe gusts strong enough to ground campfires and make tent setup a real challenge. Mercedes D. sums it up directly: "you are better off renting a cabin or bring your RV." Tent campers should also know that pitching on the grass is not permitted, which means sleeping on gravel. The ground is hard and rocky, and fallen tree debris adds to the difficulty. Raccoons and mosquitoes are recurring nuisances, and late August can bring wildfire smoke from the surrounding region.

The water access is the main draw. A swimming area sits within walking distance of the campsites, and Deep Lake, roughly five minutes from camp, is frequently cited for kokanee fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Banks Lake nearby has multiple primitive boat launches, though a Discovery Pass is required. Dry Falls is a short drive up the road, and Grand Coulee Dam is about 30 minutes out. Audra notes that "waterfront" sites do not actually have water views; only the cabins sit directly lakeside.

Campers exploring the broader area can also look at Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park Campground, located 0.4 miles southeast, or Laurent's Sun Village Resort about two miles southwest. One reviewer reported paying around $53 per night for a full-hookup site, though pricing varies. Shower tokens are available at the ranger station. Book early for summer weekends, as the campground gets busy and sites with shade fill quickly.

Campers regularly cited excellent amenities including swimming, dining, and activities in a stunning geological setting. Some visitors expressed concerns about extreme wind conditions and rocky terrain for tent camping, though RV sites received better feedback.

Loud and trashy

We chose a spot in the rv tent area which was not very clean and very loud. Stay in the outer ring if you have an RV.

Something for everyone

A beautiful oasis in the middle of a dry area of the state. Located near / within Dry Falls and Sun Lakes State Park this camping resort has it all. A beautiful golf course, a great mini golf course, pool, water wars, grocery, awesome super cute gift shop, office, delicious snack/dinner/restaurant/ice cream/espresso treat stand, peddle boats, row boats, beach, lake swimming, tons of fishing options, walking trails, camp fires, lots and lots of big grassy areas to set up pickle ball, badminton, volleyball, soccer etc. seriously. Awesome. We spent time on and on the water everyday. Gorgeous location and super friendly staff. Kids rode scooters and bikes around. So many families. It was perfect.

Busy on a weekend, but everything you need.

Stop through on our way from Glacier to North Cascades. This camp ground is really busy but all sites have full hookups. We have a 23' hybrid trailer and had plenty of room. Small pool for the kids open 11-8, beach. Mini golf for $5. 9 hole public course within walking distance. ($19 for 9, club rental for $8) Laundry ($3/$2) Alot to offer for $53. Great little restaurant with with sandwiches and huge ice cream cones. 30 min drive to Grand Coulee dam they have a laser light show.

Windy lakes, cool geology

This is a neat place to explore! The drive in is beautiful, and there are lots of lakes to visit. Deep lake (5 min from camp) is great for kayaking, paddleboarding, and swimming. The main downside of the trip was the relentless wind almost all weekend, to the point where we didn’t even want to attempt to build a fire. Note that a “waterfront” campsite doesn’t actually have a view of the water… only the cabins were truly waterfront. The camp has lots of amenities: food shack (burgers, fried food, ice cream), grocery, a gift shop with fudge, mini golf, kayak/board/paddleboat rentals, etc. The RV sites have nice shade trees, and water/electric/sewer hookups.

Favorite camping in the area

This campground is the best! Boat rentals, good fishing and fun things to do. Not super expensive compared to others. It does get windy so make sure you have a good tent in wind

Lots of fun!

I seriously love this campground. Went there one week ago for the weekend, Friday night was really windy during the night. They have a store, kayak/paddle board rentals, bathrooms and showers (bring 50cents coins!). The lake is so refreshing! It’s super hot there and I could spend all day swimming in the lake. And the best part is the view. Is so beautiful! I’d definitely come back.

Amazing!

We tent camped at the campground here a few times. The swimming area is a short walk away. There’s also a second swimming area and a playground within the park that is a quick drive. There is an on-site store and snack shack. We love this place. The kids have a blast. There are clean bathrooms with showers.

Downfalls:: It can get pretty windy and the raccoons and mosquitoes can be pretty pesky. Also one year we went at the end of August during wild fire season so it was a little smokey.

Nice camp ground

We camped with friends who brought their boat along. The water is beautiful and there is a nice swimming area. There is a nice snack shack near the boat dock. Great shakes! There is a lot of nice shade near most of the campsites and they keep the grass green and well watered. The bathrooms and showers are accessible but do require tokens from the ranger station.

Great place, but not allowed to put tents on grass

This campground is nice and has lake access, but you’re not allowed to put tents on the grass, so you have to put them on the gravel and you have limited space depending on how many vehicles you have.

awesome kokanee fishing at deep lake!

the campground was nice and tidy, but you're basically sleeping on hard ground littered with a bunch of rocks and little prickly balls (that fell off trees). those little prickly things pierced through my flip flops which was not fun. the wind was brutal and nearly blew away half of our party's tents. the ground is super dry which made getting tent stakes in very challenging. we used our vehicles to try to shield our site from the wind. you are better off renting a cabin or bring your RV! despite all that i actually liked our camping experience since there was so much to see and do. you could go try and golf but the gusts were super strong so i think it would be pointless. banks lake is super close by with a bunch of primitive fee-free boat launches. just don't forget your discovery pass! the fishing at deep lake was phenomenal! fresh caught kokanee pan fried in butter! yum! dry falls are a quick drive up the road and you could even go see grand coulee damn if you wanted to. would i tent camp here again? probably not. would i come back and rent a cabin or van camp? most definitely! would i bring the dogs? not unless they raked up all those prickly things off of the ground. i think it would be complete torture for them.
