We enjoy spending time at Cossatot Reefs. Nice large campsites. Close access to the Cossatot River for swimming, floating and fishing. Lots of wildlife to enjoy. (Deer, fox, blue heron, bald eagle...) The camp grounds are well maintained. Nice restroom/shower facilities. Easy access to Gilham lake for boating, fishing, and swimming. Camp managers are so nice and helpful.
