We've been camping at Cossatot Reefs for the last 20+ years. The camp sites are spacious and well maintained. The camp manager/ hosts,are always nice and accommodating. The bathroom/showers are kept clean. So many activities available from fishing, swimming or floating the river and lake to hiking and bird watching. So much wildlife to enjoy. We made use of the nice Pavillion this summer for a family reunion.

Stayed at this location twice and its quiet and comfortable. My only negative is that you may be sharing water access for your campus with your neighbor.

We had a place on the river. There is a pump alarm that was going off all the time, when we asked they said it always goes off. The bathrooms have warm water. There is no wifi in that area. We were able to check out some horse shoes and play a game. We were told to watch out as their are snakes near the river, but I never saw any.

We loved our favorite campsite. The park was quiet with the storms coming. Nice hot water in the showers. We enjoyed our stay.
