Off-leash friendly

Pets can be off-leash at some sites.

Grassy area with trees on the bank of the Yakima River. Quiet and peaceful. Small campfires are allowed all year in designated spots. There are mosquitos so be prepared for that! During the summer months, the Yakima River is perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, float tubes, or just swimming. Catfish and bass are the main fish here and fishing is good most of the time.

This is a great campsite by the river with a real bathroom! Also, Roger is an incredible host and made a custom video for me to get to the right site easily. Highly recommend.

We had a great time staying here ! Roger was kind and accommodating, the sites look better than the pictures can give them credit for. It is well maintained and there was plenty of room for our group of 4. The bathrooms are close and were clean and had ac. The dogs had a great time too with plenty of room to roam or snooze in the shade! The water is close and we had fun playing with floaties. Definitely highly recommended and we will be back! My son and his fiancé even want to get married there !

Peaceful spot on the rivet

We camped here for one night to break up a long drive. Despite being in a more urban area, this was a very peaceful and quiet spot! The river is lazy here… lots of fish and birds and extremely friendly damsel flies! We didn’t encounter the mosquitoes we’d feared, tho there were some and we had repellent on, so that probably helped. The morning sun (at least in mid-July) was full beam into the tent in the morning, but while it got warm, I just sat in the shade of the tent and it was still cool for a few hours after sunrise. There’s a huge Willow to provide shade to the sites, too. The bathrooms are awesome. A portable actual bathroom, with hot and cold water in the sink! And it had AC, which was a welcome break on some very hot days of camping and driving. . Roger is very relaxed and friendly. His house is on the property, but it’s far enough away that it doesn’t feel like it.. He introduced us to the spot briefly, answered our questions and just let us chill. When we drove up it wasn’t obvious where to go but he was on the watch and met us out there to show us where to go. There is a small play structure (and he was adding more the day we left) and a lot of room for kids to run around and play and to explore the river. I had a bored pre-teen with me who, after being left to her own devices for a while, forgot she was bored and started exploring in the grasses and watching the various animals in and around the river. This was a very relaxing and accessible spot!

Riverside oasis

Roger was super welcoming and this spot is absolutely gorgeous! The site is right on the river; we spotted pelicans, herons, a deer, many fish jumping, and lots of folks paddling down the river. Other than the sounds of people passing by on the river and some fireworks nearby (we stayed over Fourth of July weekend), it was quiet and very peaceful. The bathroom is a short walk from the campsite and has a flush toilet and sink - it makes you feel a little more civilized while spending some time outdoors! There are some mosquitoes, no more than to be expected being near water, but definitely bring bug spray! The camp sites are in shade for the later portion of the day. The river has a lot of vegetation in it, so it’s not ideal for swimming, but perfect for floating in a tube or using a paddle board/kayak. That being said, Roger was clearing some of the water grasses near the shoreline while we were there so it may be a better swimming spot in the future! 10/10 highly recommend!

Very peace and nice location

This site was very pretty, and the host was kind and helpful. We recommend Bug spaying lots of mosquitoes, and we were unprepared for that. Otherwise, it was very nice and peaceful.
