An oasis on Mars
This campsite is quiet and has everything you need, full hookups, water, showers, and trails. The campground is small but really clean and nearly every site has a view of the river/lake. The only odd thing is that they water the grass with a sprinkler system, yet the surrounding landscape is dry and brushy. I just find it weird to create an artificial green oasis in the middle of a brown landscape.
Checking in was confusing for us (probably because we’re from out of state). But they have a bulletin board with a list of sites that are not yet claimed. So you have to pick a site (first come, first served) and then leave money in the drop box (cash or check). But the deposit slip made it seem like you also had to pay for the Washington State annual parks pass too (because it had a spot to write down your number) so we bought one. But after speaking with a ranger, you don’t have to have that pass number to camp. Oh well, we’ll just visit some more parks while we’re here!
Overall a great spot.
