As with most state parks this one is beautiful. Although not on the water it does have a great view of Wanapum lake from the 10 or so sites located on that side of the park. A walking trail provides access to a grassy and shaded picnic/swimming area and the park does have a nice 2 lane boat launch with two docks. Although the state web site states there is a $7 charge to use the launch we could find no evidence of a pay station and watched as several boaters came and went without fees. Perhaps things are different in the busier summer months. After Labor day the sites are first come first get, no reservations are possible. We noticed the campground getting full every day so you had better plan to get there early. The inner back in sites are generally very wide and the one we chose easily accommodated our 37' motorhome with our bass boat and car parked along side. Only negative was that there was an over abundance of small gnats or flies coming from all the grass which made being outside miserable, I would hope that they could lay down something in the grass to take care of these pests. We loved the park however and will return in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place seems to get better and better. Peaceful, well-groomed, large, full hookup sites, gorgeous view of the Columbia River. Yes, it gets windy--sometimes very windy--but mornings are usually calm. I didn't take a waterfront pull-through for $31 but they are well worth it. Since I wasn't towing my toad, I picked a back-in site and left the pull-throughs for those who needed them. I still had a nice view of the river. Certainly will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This a great peaceful park. Well looked after.Can be a little windy a times. Everytime we go there we end up staying another day. The only down part it is very busy and unless you have a reservation ( especially on weekends) you will never get in during the summer and fall months. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good campground in a pinch. Very expensive - $40/2 per night, plus $20 per night for each additional person. Several pull-thru sites, although not very level. Pool looks like it has been out of commission for quite some time, but there is access to boat ramp and riverside park across the street. Small grassy sites, most with picnic tables and fire rings. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Maybe in 2003 it was a good park (per the one previous review), but as of 2009, it's rather run down. It's full of perms and mobile homes. The rate I am showing is the rate with taxes. I paid cash, I do not know if credit cards are accepted. The former KOA buildings are still there (with laundry and indoor pool), but it doesn't appear that they are used. (Maybe in the summer, but they were not being used in March, when I was there.) You check in to the park at a grocery store next door. The park is terraced, and it appears they leave the top terrace for the over nighters. However, there were lots of open places in the lower terraces. I would have preferred to be there, less exposure to the wind (I stopped here to get out of the horrible winds that sometimes go through this area in the spring, making it hard to drive). Plus, I got here on a Sunday and nothing is open, to include the grocery store where you check in. However, if you ring the doorbell, someone will check you in. The laundry room in the old KOA building had a sign saying "open daily [specified hours]" but the door was locked. Although there are many very tall trees here for shade, the trees didn't help with the wind! Also, good luck finding the sewer connection, it's buried in the grass somewhere. I had to run my hand through the grass to find it. Although I said "no" to wireless being available, I did detect a couple of "unsecured" wireless hookups with limited signal, but I don't think they belonged to the park. If you have a Verizon air card, it will work off and on. At these prices, it is cheaper than a very nice state park three miles away. I would use this place only for a very desperate and cheap overnight. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice place. Former KOA and still needs some work. Tried two campsites before I found one that the dump wasn't broken.Kind of noisey,but that's because Vantage is a popular place on the Columbia River to camp... Stayed one nite and will probably stay there again... We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
