Plymouth Campground is located by the small town of Plymouth, Washington. The day use area and boat launch are on a small island on Lake Umatilla on the Columbia River.
Popular activities in the area include fishing, swimming, boating, water skiing and hunting.
Visitors enjoy boating, water sports and swimming in the river.
Anglers fish for Chinook, steelhead, walleye, sturgeon, and shad. The boat ramp is located at the day use area for convenient river access.
The campground offers 32 sites with electric hookups. Amenities include flush and pit toilets, showers, drinking water, a dump station and playground.
The day use area has a swim beach, boat ramp, flush toliets, vault toliet and courtesy dock.
The park is situated in a high desert environment on an island on the Columbia River. The island is covered with tall sage and Russian Olive trees, but shade is limited.
Wildlife is abundant in the area, and mule deer, waterfowl and raptors are commonly seen.
McNary Dam and Visitor Center and Lake Wallula are two miles upstream from the campground. The lake offers additional opportunities for boating, swimming and fishing.

Very nice park. This is the second time we have stayed there each time was just overnight. The check-in process was easy. The sites are pull through and paved all have water and power. Most have sewer. This is a corps of engineers owned and run park so it’s well maintained restrooms are clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. Especially Mandy. We stayed in a class A motorhome
Definitely a relaxing place. Bugs get heavy at night. The crowd here is older and wealthier for the most part. Pet friendly, but be careful of possibly unfriendly pets (always ask before petting). Nothing here was bad, but nothing remarkable either. Tent camping is permitted but not advisable due to the sprinkler system.
Nice quiet camp ground. Easy reserve online. Water and power at each camp site. Trains go by about half a mile away, but didn't disturb me really. Easy pull in and out. Parking only on the pavement. Restroom reasonably clean, with one shower.
We have stayed here before and it was well maintained. This time the grass was yellow and dried out. We arrived to find out that the sewer wasn't working at our site. We stayed five days and it was very windy all but one of those days. The day that wasn't windy was crazy with bugs. Anything with a light was covered with them. Mosquitoes were very bad as well. The next morning we had spiders everywhere. Our site had good shade, but I noticed many sites did not. Despite what it may look like on a satellite view there is no access to the water from the campground unless you walk a ways down the road. They have a day use area with gazebos and a swimming beach. There is an old train tunnel within walking distance and McNary Dam has a visitor center and fish viewing area. Overall, Army Corps of Engineers really should keep up on the maintenance better.
