Brooks Memorial State Park sits along Highway 97 in Klickitat County, and the campground's layout reflects that position directly. Sites in the main area pack in RVs, trailers, and tents in close proximity, with few trees between them; the tent sites further back sit away from neighbors but closer to the road, where truck traffic runs loud through the night. Full hookups with electric, water, and sewer are available for RVs up to 30 feet, and coin-operated showers serve the main loop. Mice have been noted at night, so food storage matters. Hikers and equestrians have trail access throughout the park, and campers who need supplies should stock up in Goldendale before arriving. This campground works best as a practical overnight stop rather than a destination stay.
Description
