Our campsite was great we loved it! The only thing that I could see that could use some work was the restroom and shower. It worked fine but could use a coat of paint. LOL

The reefs are very laid back and quiet. A family atmosphere that feels like a community.

I've spent many wonderful days at Cossatot Reefs. But never have I found the campsite in such a mess. The fireplace was full of trash, some kind of animal fur, and other unknown materials. The pedestal grill had horse manure on it, as well as the utility table. So thankful i had a Coleman stove with me for cooking! The bathrooms were very clean and well stocked. It is a beautiful place! It just needs attention and the sites checked each day.

Nice little park. There during weekdays and only 2 campers in my loop. Restrooms are the most clean and well kept of COE parks. No campground host and ranger seemed always to hurried to visit campers.

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!
