## Overview

 Hood Park is located on Lake Wallula in eastern Washington. The lake is formed by McNary Lock and Dam on the Mid-Columbia River. Lewis and Clark camped two miles downstream at the confluence of the Snake and Columbia Rivers, which is now the location of Sacajawea State Park. Visitors enjoy camping, fishing, boating, hiking, picnicking and swimming.
## Recreation

 The lake provides great boating and swimming opportunities, and a boat ramp is provided for guests. Fishing is also a popular pastime, and anglers will find excellent salmon and steelhead fishing on the lake.
## Facilities

 Hood Park offers 67 family sites and one day-use group picnic shelter, all with electric hookups.
## Natural Features

 The campground is situated along the banks of the lake, offering sweeping views. Campers enjoy relaxing in the shade of the mature trees throughout the park. 
## Nearby Attractions

 The McNary National Wildlife Refuge is adjacent to the park. It provides habitat for migrating waterfowl, bald eagles, shorebirds and other wildlife. Nature trails and an environmental learning center are open to the public.

Hood Park

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.

Beautiful River Site

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. 

Closest Campground to the house!

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.

The Nary National Wildlife Refuge is very close. 

  

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

Hood Park COE

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

Great place to stop for a stretch

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. 

Spiders and mosquitoes. 

Net as a pin

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.

Very Comfortable with Manicured Lawn and tons of space

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 

Family Vacation 

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.
