Beautiful place to camp. We got to see an eagle grab a fish out of the creek. It was absolutely amazing.

We stayed at Cossatot Reefs Campground over Thanksgiving weekend in site 05. The campground is easy to find and access. We have a 30' long motorhome and a 16' car trailer we pull and had no issue pulling in and parking. The camp roads are set up in loops and easy to navigate. The sites are decent sized for a 30-40' rig. Some bigger and some are smaller. One thing to note is the water hookups are shared in some of the sites. A water "Y" adapter would have been nice to have. We ran off our internal tank for our stay and had no issue. Also, the water hookup for our site was on the opposite side from the electrical, so a longer hose is a must (25 feet or so). We ran into a small issue when dumping the tanks. The vacuum breakers were missing on the dump station hose hookups. This left us unable to use clean water at the dump station. It might be worth throwing one in the water kit for such an occasion. Bathrooms and showers were clean and accessible. Kiddos enjoyed the playground and hiking at Cossatot River Falls. Overall great place to stay, and we will definitely be back.

Visited November 20th thru 23rd at Site #28. Great site on the river! Cossatot Reefs is a very nice park with several picturesque sites along the river. Very reasonably priced for having water and electric. I understand that there may be some financial restraints since Covid, etc. but some attention should be given to some signage indicating the Camp Site numbers along the main road loop turn-outs. (Camp Sites 1 thru whatever >, for example). And some of the signage entering the park are faded and do not reflect very well by headlights if traveling in the dark. Some minor infrastructure repairs need to be made as there were some sites that had the prep tables next to the grills uprooted from their bases. These are all minor things which didn't take away from our visit at all. Restrooms were very clean and kept. Dump station was well maintained as well. Hostess (Connie) who met us at check-in was very nice and cordial. We will be back hopefully in the spring to be able to enjoy the river a bit more since it rained pretty much the entire time we were there. Looking forward to it!
