Hood Park

Park was closed, gates locked, as of 9-5-2023.

Be sure to stop at the entrance cabin, even if it appears empty. Our site, #9, was maybe 100 Rey from the Columbia. It. Was, however, roughly half way between the restrooms and the showers which were both about 100 yards away. We were very tired the first night and the noises from the industrial traffic on the river did not prevent us from sleeping. Not so the second night. You can also her the semi’s crossing the bridge . Mosquitoes were present but our device kept them away.

Lovely campground with access to the lake. Not the most beautiful view with the industrial buildings on the other side, but it’s peaceful and quiet. Electrical hookups. Water and a dump station available to campers near the entrance. Great playgrounds and a swimming beach. Sites 14 and 15 would be great for two families camping together.

I appreciate the green in this park, but hate that the sprinklers have to be running almost non-stop to keep it that way. The noise of them scared my cat. 

Tried to check in early, but was not allowed. Hung out in the day-use area. 

The sites were big and some nice trees. 

Electric, but no water. Was told to fill up jugs at the faucets scattered around the park. The water was disgusting! I filled one jug and it came out a light brown color. The park host saw the expression on my face and came over to tell me the water is tested every day and is safe to drink. Safe or not, I was not about the drink that. 

There's a nice walk around a pond in the back of the campground. Overall, a decent place to stay if you're in the area, but not my favorite.

We stayed here 2 nights and other than some spiders on our stuff in the morning, and that seems to be only on the sites under the trees, I have zero complaints and will be back next time for a longer stay. The park is very clean and while there are no water hookups they do have filling stations to fill tanks or whatever you use. They also don’t have sewer hookups but do have an on-site dump station for you to empty out. Bathrooms were immaculate and they provided free showers which is a bonus because most places charge for them. Campsites are cozy but spacious and depending on your site you can be right on the Snake River. Beautiful place and had it not been for the alcohol ban it would have got 5 stars

Bathhouse was clean, sited are spacious, tons of green space.

The campground was beautiful. Close to the river. Pull through rv sites, with plenty of room for second vehicle or boat. With boat dock. However, we woke to a lot (hundreds) of huge spiders 🕷😳 all over our rv and cars. They were everywhere.

Lots of options in this campground from drive through big trailer spots to back in spots to tent only areas. 

Tons of wide green lawns with lots of space, camp sites end up pretty well spaced apart so you might only have 2 or 3 neighbors then a ton of lawn before another neighbor.

It's right on the snake river, so you can practically fish from your camp site if you want. There is a connected wildlife preserve that you can walk around in and also fish in that is a sperate area. Lots of birds to watch. 

There is also a connected park that is only open during the day with a beach. 

Fully facilities including water and power hookups, a central dumping station. Flush toilets and showers included. A playground for the kids. 

River barges keep things along the river interesting. Maybe road noise from the nearby highway was a bit louder than we'd like.

Do not try to check in before 2 pm!!!! No alcohol allowed in park!

Typical Park campground outside of urban area. Decent swim beach area a lot of algae outside of swim area. Town is close by so you can do other things ( Groceries, laundromat etc…..) while waiting for check in. Spider issue others write about appears to be controlled. However every picnic table has lots of spider webs underneath!!!!

Very nice clean and the staff is very helpful highly recommended 👌

Well maintained state park.

Aug. 28th-30th is space #24. Lots of very large spiders everywhere. Mosquitoes were super bad. Nice fire pits but you can't have fires. Showere were decent. They need to be updated. Lots of green grass and lots of shade. All in all not bad. We will be back. Hopefully with less spiders.

We reserved 4 nights here and left after two because we had to do everything inside our camper, otherwise there were spiders (and not the little ones) on us, on our chairs, on our everything! Black spiders, red spiders, brown spiders and spider sprays don't work. After spraying the outside of our tent trailer within minutes they were back. They were hanging from the trees! And no matter what you left out, the were webs on them the next morning! I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE!!!!

We stopped here on a longer stretch of our drive and it was the perfect reprieve for cramped car legs :)

May 26 - June 6, 2019 Beautiful park. Site 23 has electric. Water is nearby. Restroom was just OK. Water tank can be filled at park at dump station : (    We paid $12 using our lifetime senior pass. Temperature ranged from 40 to 80 degrees.

Address: 2339  Burbank, Washington 99323

The Nary National Wildlife Refuge is very close. 

We enjoyed Round Table Pizza and Kiko's Tacos in Kennewick, WA.

I was there for a day, nice place for car camping, easy snake river access.

No water or sewer hookups. Lots of nice sites. If you are a long rv, be cautious as the reservation line has little knowledge of sites.

We do an annual trip here every Father’s Day weekend. Close to the river, plenty of fishing and swimming. The trees are nice. This is an Army Corp of Engineers campground so some federal rules apply: no firearms, no alcohol(at least not openly)

The only issue we have is the sprinklers come on Friday nights and wash the tents for us. it’s good and bad.

This campground offers developed sites with hookups for campers. There is a playground and interpretive events for kids in the evenings. They even had some movies on the weekends. This area is peaceful and relaxing for families. If you are looking for wilderness camping, this is not the place as it has mowed /irrigated lawns around the campground. There is a nature area with some trails onsite for exploring.

Popular Army Corps of Engineers campground on Snake River in Tri-Cities. Flush toilets, real showers. In fairness to this campground, my 3 stars is because we stayed in overflow lot for $14, while real site would have cost us $12 (weekday fee, more on weekend). Campground seemed to have nice vibe with kids on bikes, large playground, amphitheater.
