Charbonneau Park

6 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers within campgrounds around Lake Sacajawea, Charbonneau Park sits along the shore of the Snake River reservoir in Burbank, Washington, open from late May through early September. The campground runs full hookups across many of its sites, with electric, water, and sewer connections available and a maximum RV length of 60 feet, making it a functional stop for rigs of most sizes. Campers arriving by water have a dedicated boat launch and a separate passenger pickup dock on site.

Water access is the consistent draw here. Reviewers note a flat shoreline area suitable for setting up chairs and floats, and the common area near the swimming zone has well-maintained grass. Josh J. notes "pretty sunsets over the river and views of Ice Harbor Dam in the distance," a sightline that faces west from the north end of the campground. That north side, however, can get noticeably windy, worth factoring into site selection when booking.

Weekends draw families and water sports enthusiasts, and crowding is a recurring theme in reviews. Weekdays run considerably quieter. Bathrooms and showers are on site and consistently described as clean. One reviewer mentioned spiders as an unwelcome presence inside their RV, which may be worth noting for those camping in warmer months. Pets are allowed, and pet-friendly options near Lake Sacajawea are relatively plentiful in this stretch of the Columbia Basin. Charbonneau works best for campers with boats or water toys who want full hookups and direct lake access.

Relaxing canprground with river views

Great sites many with full hookups, make sure you check what your site has when you book. Lots of families so expect there to be kids running and playing. North side of the campground can get pretty windy. Pretty sunsets over the river and views of ice harbor dam in the distance.

Arachnophobia warning

This park is beautiful. Its situated on Lake Sacajawea and great if you have a boat or water toys. There are bathrooms and showers available and both are very clean. The host was very welcoming and assisted us in getting a single site for the entire time we were there, all five days. There were spiders everywhere and they decided to join us in the RV, not too fun. Due to the abundant spiders we probably would not return, plus we didn’t have water toys. We used our America the Beautiful pass and paid $15 for full hookups.

River Fun!

This park is well kept. The grass is green and luscious in the common area near the swimming. They have a boat launch as well as a separate dock for picking up passengers. If you walk along the shore line, you can find a flat area to set up your day in the water with chairs and floats. Bring a pop-up tent to create some shade and it is a great place to hang towels.

easy river camping

great spot to stop on longer trips for an overnight. boat launch is also nice if you’ve towed the boat in. weekends are pretty wild with the wake boarders but week days are mellow.
