It's a nice park. We camped and fished and it was fun. The only down side was that there is no phone service in the park. Not only is that inconvenient, I feel it's a safety issue. If someone got hurt we would have no way of calling for help.

We stopped by Cossatot Reefs campground while passing through the area for a quick overnight.

Pros:
- Nice campsites with flat spots for tents and trees for hammocks.
- Nice view of the river with rocks in the middle
- Friendly camp host

Cons:
- Had to pay for 2 nights even though we could not stay that long. This is frustrating as we were booking a site on a Saturday night that someone else could have used, but no... the policy rather have empty spots than allow someone else to enjoy the site.
- No At&t service (could not book site on our phones)

All is good, BUT, please finish the restrooms! It has been almost a year with no restrooms, and the building is a prefab!
