Hood Park

had to move out of 58. when they water there is a lake then mud the length of it on the trailer door side. love the place other than that

Park was clean and quiet. We did not use the showers or bathrooms.

The park was nice but they need to take care of the spider problem. Their was spiders all over our campsite. all over the bathrooms inside and out. When you go camping you're going to have spiders but that was out of control. My family was not comfortable staying there so we left early

Too many spiders!! Why don’t they spray? We probably won’t be back. Also the geese are over running the shore. Had to walk in some slimy poop to get to the water. Sad. Worse government park ever….

The campground was green with lots of trees. The only negative I have was the overwhelming spiders everywhere. It was challenging to keep them out of vehicle.

Nice sites, fun place to camp and swim close to home.

The park was nice but it was severely over run by a spider infestation. So disgusting that we stayed in the TT until we left. Upon packing up had to shake spiders off everything and still found them later that day at our next stop. They really were everywhere!

We enjoyed our RV stay. The price was right. The campground was well laid out, plenty of sites, helpful host. Electricity only available at site, but good potable water available at the campground entrance. Things to watch out for: direction of sprinkler spray (good you had a chart), lots of spiders, geese were everywhere along the shoreline, river traffic and train on the opposite shore at night.

Activities to include: We were there to visit the Whitman Mission Historical site half an hour away. The Visitor Center was closed Monday and Tuesday, but we did not know that until we made the drive. We just toured the grounds alone with the aid of a brochure at the door. Restrooms were open and drinking water supply was still available.

Saw the Lewis and Clark historical marker and would like more information available for that history. We did not make it to the Sacajawea State Park or Fort McNary due to time restaints but would love to know information about those nearby sites as well. We would be interested in seeing the Hood Farm layout or a living heritage center at the park one day. We enjoyed sunset on the river, paddleboarding, but getting into the water was dirty due to the geese on the beach and the algae on the edge.

Good and bad:

The facilities were clean and park personnel friendly and helpful. Campground very shady. Electrical at each site was a real surprise/bonus! The river was very pleasant for kayaking, once we got through the "stinky" algae and weedy section.

Bad: the park and shade trees are crawling with spiders-very large ones! We were camping in a Vanagon-thank goodness not a tent! In the morning our van was covered with spiders and there were at least a dozen around the inside of the door openings. We were even killing them after arriving back home.

The campground itself was nice enough. But there were SO MANY geese around that the whole campground smelled like a sewer. Also the spiders were ENORMOUS and EVERYWHERE. The swim area was okay, but you had to fight the geese off, and the water didn't seem clean.
