This park is located on the Yakima River near the city of Yakima. It is easy to find off I 82 and hwy 24. The campground is well managed with a staffed gatehouse and frequent patrols by park staff. The campground borders on a dike and wetlands. You will need bug spray at this park; particularly on the trails. There are both paved and dirt trials around ponds that provide habitat for birds and wildlife and trails along the dike. We saw lots of birds hiking the trails around the ponds. The Lily Pond in the picnic area is overgrown with brush. There is no beach and no swimming in this park. The playground is in good condition, close to the campground and there is lots of green grass. Lots of full-service spaces– both drive-through and back-in. Pull-thru spaces are very close together with barely room for an awning. The back-in spaces offer more room. None of the spaces offer much privacy. Lots of shade trees. Showers require tokens from machine near park office. The park map has a list of fines for violation of park rules ranging from $99 to $150 on the back.
