Heron's Rookery at Yakima River
Decent, but some issues.
Mixed feelings about this site.
Pros:
It was right on the river with private river access. Most of the camp area you would use had river rock brought in so it wasn't dirty and dusty. While there are properties on either side, it did feel fairly private. Host was responsive and kind.
Cons: Biggest issue was noise from I-90. It did not stop. While sitting by the river we could barely hear the river most of the time over the highway noise. We had to elevate our voices and speak loudly to be heard. Also the hookups were set up in a weird way. If you pull into the site, the electricity is on the correct side. However, the water and sewer were on the opposite side. Our sewer hose was not long enough to reach so we could not hook up the sewer. The other option would be to back into the site, but then your door would be facing away from the camp off into the bushes which does not make sense. Having the utilities split on either side is something I have not seen before at any campsite. Also if you pull into the site as needed to face your camper the correct way, there was a very tight turn to get the truck back out. Someone with a larger truck or not very good navigation skills would have a hard time getting out from between the trees.
Overall I think it's an okay site, just not quite as expected.

Great spot - beware of road noise.
It was a lovely camp spot with plenty of room and a lovely view! The road noise was a bit obnoxious, so if you're looking for quiet, this isn't quite the place, but otherwise a great site!

Amazing weekend & experience
Amazing weekend here at Heron’s Rookery. We celebrated my son’s birthday with a camping trip here and we absolutely loved it! The space is so private & we were able to swim in the river and enjoy the view. We were so impressed at how much space there was to pitch tents and set up our kitchen and bathroom areas. The spot was well kept and the river was so much fun! We had two toddlers & a dog & a big family and there was more than enough space for everyone. 10/10 experience. We will absolutely be returning. Thanks so much Jeremy!

We were looking for quiet place to get away from every day life and Heron’s Rookery did not disappoint. Loved the location ( beautiful view), campsite was more than adequate, easy beach access and loved being able to walk down the roads. Would highly recommend!

Loved this camp spot, not too far from town and I-90 but definitely quiet and relaxing. The campsite was clean and private and the power hookups were perfect for our tent trailer! Will definitely be back!
