Reviews

AI review summary

Overall, this campsite offers a pleasant experience for campers, particularly those looking for beautiful views and outdoor activities along the Yakima River. Many reviewers appreciate the cleanliness of the facilities and the helpfulness of the staff. However, some guests note the limited privacy between sites and the absence of drinking water and dump stations. The area is popular for hiking and wildlife watching, but campers should be aware of potential noise from the day use area and the presence of rattlesnakes in the summer.
