Great scenery. Great wildlife. Had deer in our camp spot. Stayed in 86. Nice and close to the water. Great for swimming boating hiking you name it! New favorite nearby place!!

One of the best places to go camping. Beautiful surroundings. Great place to go with families and friends! If you have take bikes or roller skates! I recommend going in May because during July and August is always so hot. The place is so hard to book though. Campsites going really fast! One of the best trip we had in Washington! Recommend in 💯

Beautiful area with great views. We spent a few nights here in our RV. The RV spots are well spaced apart and area around is well manicured. (Beware of the sprinkler times.) There are several camp areas all joined together with walking & bike trails. Lots of hiking trails to the top of Steamboat rock (great views and very do-able with good shoes) and through the desert area around it. Great swimming and beach area. The facilities are great and kept very clean. Prices are a bit on the high side, ($50 a night) but what isn't these days.

Loved this out-of-the-way campground. Multiple loops with spacious, level sites. Nice dock for boaters and fish cleaning stations in campground. Lots of paths for walking or biking. Clean and well-maintained.

Wes J | Aug 18, 2020
Bill Strobeck | Aug 18, 2020

Can I just Pop in and get a camping spot?

Robert Morsbach | Aug 11, 2022
Aj Chooey | Aug 11, 2022

Yes, but it may be difficult to get an open spot during summer as sites are booked months in advanced. You will have better luck mid week for a night or 2.

Do they allow dogs?

Is there good cell phone coverage? Thank you

L Julie Moss | Apr 20, 2022
Brian Rogers | Apr 20, 2022

The cell phone with most major providers is spotty. Generally you have to be next to the lake or towards the play area by concessions to consistently text or call.

Is there any campsite in October you can keep your boat in the water

Robert Boucher | Oct 22, 2021

Go to Washington State Parks website and search for the park. There is a map under the reservation system, with pictures of each site.

There is signage on the ranger station at the entrance that explicitly says no metal detecting allowed anywhere in the park.

Is the park now open for camping in late October? Are the restrooms open?

Art Zack | Aug 18, 2021
Michael Extine | Aug 18, 2021

Restrooms and showers are open. I imagine they'll shut off the water to the campsites soon, if not already done since last week but washrooms should still have water. It's all first come first served and no reservations allowed this time of year.

Are the trails good for mountain bikes? I figure it's too hot to hike so I'd cover more ground on a bike. Thanks in advance 🖖🥰

Aspen Knight | Aug 18, 2021
Linda Wright | Aug 18, 2021

There is a cement trail through the park and hiking trails going up the top of steamboat rock you could bike on some of the lower trails but I think it would be to steep on the upper part

Would this be a good camping location to be able to go bow fishing? Or would you end up with a lot of dirty looks?

CrushdPinapl | Aug 18, 2020
Sidney Gaertner | Aug 18, 2020

I think you could go fishing with a bow and not get dirty looks.

We are thinking about going there in July. We are wondering if there are snakes? Since there's all the rocks and sage brush.

Todd Smith | Aug 18, 2020
Jennifer Vonderwell | Aug 18, 2020

Snakes are somewhat rarre to see but you must be vigilant. The staff spends a lot of effort keeping the park snake safe, but could still see some. Stay cear of rock piles.

What is the condition of the lake at this time March 14th? I was told that it was frozen over, is that true?

Carl Graver | Aug 19, 2019
Amber Toler | Aug 19, 2019

It really depends on the year. We dont have very consistant weather conditions from year to year. There are areas of the lake that are currently frozen over.

We were there August 2 to August 13. One very smoky day but otherwise it just looked hazy. Wind came up our last day and it was completely clear (making us realize there had been smoke).
