Fishhook Park is located on the shores on Lake Sacajawea in Eastern Washington. The lake is formed by Ice Harbor Lock and Dam on the Lower Snake River.
The park was named for Fishhook Rapids, which were once nearby, where Lewis and Clark spent time in October 1805. Today Fishhook is a fishing destination, as the name implies, attracting boaters and anglers alike to its black rock canyons. Visitors also enjoy camping, upland hunting, hiking, swimming and water sports.
The lake provides great boating and swimming opportunities, and a boat ramp is provided for guests.
Fishing is also a popular pastime, and anglers will find excellent salmon and steelhead fishing on the lake.
Fishhook Park offers 41 family sites and one day-use group picnic shelter, all with electric hookups. Eleven primitive, walk-up tent sites are available as well with two of them being group sites with sun shelters.
The campground is situated on the waterfront. Visitors enjoy relaxing in the shade under the mature trees scattered throughout the park.
From Pasco, Washington, take Highway 12 east. After crossing the Snake River Bridge, take the first exit and head east on State Route 124. Continue for 19 miles, then turn left, heading north on Fishhook Park Road. Follow for 4 miles to the park entrance; the campground is on the left.
Nice enough campground near Tri-cities. It was clean and maintained. We liked the playground but we're disappointed with the swimming beach. It was a bit chilly so we didn't try but it's pure rock and tons of plant growth in the water. The only upside was that the water was clear and the day picnic area it's situated in is nice and shaded. It has very convenient boat launches. I'm guessing that's the reason it's so hard to book. We probably won't go back simply because it's difficult to book for a time we want to go and the train noise was bad. We were in spot #2 which had frequent traffic but is convenient for the bathroom and a back path to the playground.
Site 07. Fairly steep access to get below to the water/grassy/fire pit area without going through other's camp sites- could be problematic for anyone mobility troubles. We were only able to stay one night before moving on but would absolutely recommend this campground for families. Minus a star for having the dirtiest showers I've ever been in, not even a hook to hang a shower bag from.
Beautiful park, well kept and very clean! Family friendly, lots of shade available for hot days. Beautiful beach, boar docks and picnic tables. Great fishing. Bathrooms were clean & showers were so nice, great water pressure, not crowded so no lines. We love coming here with family every year!
I love this place! I reserved tent camping sites. I would recommend getting the ones farther away from the parking lot because there is always a guy with his diesel truck loading a boat into the water at 6am, plus you will be closer to the other bathroom that has the showers in them. The park lady is super nice and the workers are super cool! The stars are amazing at night to look at! Make sure you got all you need because I think the closest town is either walla walla or burbank. highly recommend if you're looking for a peaceful camp out. There is a swim area for the kids and a big lawn to play on, but you have to bring your own stuff to play with.
Beautiful place. Great pull through spots, beautiful views, great docks that you can leave your boat at. Just remember... This is super family oriented.... Early quiet time, no alcohol allowed, lots of kids and families
