Beautiful campground!

We’ve enjoyed our stay at Plymouth. Not all sites are full hook up anymore. Nice open space the kids loved playing in and a playground. We had a few windy days, and some perfect spring days. Quiet and peaceful.

Easy site

If you need an easy place to pull in for the night, this works. The sites are big, and the bathroom is clean. If you think you’re camping on the Columbia River, you’re not. It’s close, but you can’t get there from here—walking anyways.

Sweet secret near the water

What a sweet surprise! Army Corps campgrounds are always appreciated, and I had no idea this one was here! Very quiet, large spaces, lots of trees. Easy bike ride or short drive to the water area. Clean restrooms and wonderful hosts. It does get really really hot here in the summer FYI.

One Night Stopover

This spot costs a bit more than I'd usually spend and the spots were super spacious for my Tacoma.

I just got lucky they had something available because I rolled in after dark with no reservation.

It was super clean, had beautiful views of the starry night sky, and the staff was super friendly when I checked out the next morning.

The pics I took weren't from the campground itself, but from a viewpoint about 20 minutes down the road overlooking the Columbia River!

BUGS!!!

When you arrive a sweet lady warns you about the snakes. But what she failed to warn us about is the swarming yellow jackets. My boyfriend spent the entire evening fighting them away from the van. I got stung. Finally the sun goes down and they go away. Then we wake up and as soon as we open a door three yellow jackets. Our doors were covered in spiders and webs. Also side note… only one shower in each bathroom and the women’s one covered in dang spiders. If you have no problem getting stung or waking up with spiders everywhere I would still avoid caution in the campground.

Clean campground

$12 a night for water and electricity. Clean area with grass and playground. Some areas appear to be under construction or upgrade. Dumpster and restroom available. Showers closed because of covid-19. Sights are on paved roadway with firepits and picnic tables. Easy in and out for our 32' Class A. Hermiston Oregon is 6 miles away.

Surprised me!

It was a last ditch chance and it is a wonderful place. Lots of green grass, laundry, clean bathrooms, pleasant people and a river to walk along. There is a train across the river but it never offended me noise wise. Now this is an intended stop every time I pass this way.
