My only request is that we had to do a first come first serve on a friday of a weekend in the first week of May. it was stressful to just get one spot and then had to move to our "weekend" reserved spot for the saturday and sunday and monday of the following week. I get May1 MAY may be convenient for the calendars but we were feeling like a domino on Saturday morning at the camp ground.

It was a wonderful spot to just unwind. It had 1 trail open, but to me the highlight was that there were people playing music who were heading to the Blue Grass Festival in Goldendale. It's a nice clean spot though. However, would not reccomend if you are looking to constantly be doing an outdoor activity. Also, had ALOT of RV's. I was camping in a tent.

We were able to reserve our favorite site. The weather was better than expected. We filled our holding tank after 3 days and it would have been nice to be able to empty them eventually at a rest stop.
Looking forward for another visit.

It was a lot windier than I had anticipated, but it was a very pleasant weekend trip. Another thing to remember: it's very likely to be full sunlight all day. Don't forget sun protection (for instance, I forgot a hat!)
