Spring Canyon

Lovely campsite. Very clean and beautiful

We come every year during the first week of September. The weather has always been great. We love the beach. Lots to do around the Dam.

When we arrived our site had no picnic table, because our neighbors had taken it. There were no camp hosts onsite during our stay. Maintenance came every day and kept the bathrooms very clean, although there isn't soap provided in the bathrooms. Sites are very close to each other, not much privacy from your neighbors. With no camp host there was no enforcement of quiet hours (10pm - 6am) and so we were kept awake all night by other noisy campers, even having to go to their campsite and talk to them ourselves when they started playing music at 5am (and had been loudly partying since before midnight). Aside from getting no sleep, the beach is very nice, and we had a great time kayaking/floating on the lake. There is an outdoor shower near the beach area.

Date of Tent Camping: 27/28Aug2024
Tuesday and Wednesday.

I stayed at Lower Loop #13. Water Spigot in the Men's Restroom Leaking, seems like it's been leaking for a while.

There is no Campground Host, maybe provide better amenities or services for them to make it appealing for them to host the place. There are trees, but might not be over your tent site, so you might get sun exposure. Bring an awning to put over the picnic table. It can get hot during the summer days.

No privacy, sites are pretty close to each other.
This place is good if you need a place to stay while visiting the Grand Coulee Dam.
The restrooms were clean and well stocked.

The upper loops is like parking your car or tent under apartment covered carports. I would not stay at the upper loop and if you have an RV or a trailer, your rig might not fit under the car ports. Make sure you're certain of your RV size and length.

The beach and swimming areas are very nice. The swim platform was 4 feet exposed from the water since the river is low.
But you can still enjoy the beach. Good for family and kids. They have nice walking trails.

The sign at the front says campground FULL but there are MANY open spots.
Please remove the sign to give campers a chance to look for availability instead of giving that we're full impression.
If you want the campground occupied, remove that FULL sign before someone else remove it for you.

The views from the lower loop of the river is awesome. This place is nice for the views.
The whole area is nice, just be ready to be next to your neighbor.

Go visit Grand Coulee Visitor Center, go on a power plant tour and go watch the laser show at night.

I will be back to stay if I am ever in the area.

During our recent camping trip, we noticed a few concerns that we wanted to bring to your attention. There was no camp host onsite, which led to several issues. We encountered way too many wasps, causing our kids to eat in the car a few times. People were playing catch with their dogs, unleashed, between campsites, which made it challenging to enjoy our meals without worrying about flying balls or dogs. Additionally, people started talking out loud as early as 6 am, disrupting our sleep. Large group parties occupied half of the lower tent loop and were loud both in the morning and evening. Large RVs and motorhomes were parked on the lower tent level, running their engines for AC in the middle of the night and during the day. Teenagers were hanging around outside their tents until 1:30 am, talking loudly, laughing, and swearing. Despite these issues, we love this place for its water, beach, sand, nature, and wild animals. We have been coming to this campground since 2002, traveling from far away, which takes us at least 7-8 hours of driving straight, and sometimes up to 12 hours with our two little kids. We will probably come back again.

We love this campground because it has the best swimming beach. However there was no campground host this year and there was such a rowdy and obnoxious group of campers by us. They ruined our evenings with their loud drinking parties. I wish a ranger would have patrolled the area more to keep the peace.

We have been camping here for years, but if you don’t like generator noise, this is not the place for you. Way to many people come with cheap loud generators that get left running all day unattended, and the generator hours are way to long.

We enjoyed our time at spring canyon. The beach area is awesome with lots of shade trees. We participated in a service project with cleaning up plastics. The park ranger did a great job on his presentation explaining the importance of not leaving plastics around.

Great place
