We so enjoyed our Cossatot Reefs visit! Enjoying our meals at our camping site with the flowing river and forest scenery right in front of us brought us a feeling of total serenity. It was a beautiful place for us to spend our 40th anniversary, and we’ll return to site #22 every time!

Had a really nice week here in early April. It had rained a lot before we got there so the river was roaring behind our site. Watched Eagles catch fish in the morning and listened to Owls at night. Restrooms were clean, and there is not much traffic so you can bike ride around the park and to the others on the lake with not much issue. We were in site 22. If you have kids you would probably want the playground loop which is site 10 etc. That loop is a little closer to the river also.
