Lake was up and couldn't use boat ramp at camp grounds. This was a bad, but the lake is a flood control lake. But other then that it was a nice stay. Clean area.

Road was washed out hard to get camper in small space. Grill was rusted out. Couldn't cook outside. We pay lots of money to camp and enjoy and updates never seen at the lake

We had the lowest site and were afraid we were going to have to leave. Also, the steps down to the water were right in our site so people were continuously walking between our RV and picnic table. So much so that we quit using the table.

The hosts were very helpful with finding us a place to stay for the night as our week’s reservation at Cossatot Reefs had been messed up due to misinformation on the website about the length of site 18 which says will accommodate a 51 foot camper. Ours is 35 ft and wouldn’t come close to fitting much less backing in. Hosts at both campgrounds were great!
