Where To Camp In Washington
The Evergreen State has no shortage of quality campgrounds that are perfect for recreational vehicles of all types. From hiking through forests to climbing mountains, there is so much to see and do when you leave the city behind for a taste of what nature has to offer. Broadmoor RV, located in Pasco, Washington, has a few parks we’d like to highlight for their features. Pack up your travel trailer and get ready for a weekend adventure at one of these locations!
Juniper Dunes Wilderness & OHV Area (Pasco, WA)
This gorgeous wilderness area has been under the protection of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) since 1984. Comprising over 7000 acres, there is no shortage of natural beauty here. You can see wildlife of all types here as well as windswept sand dunes and old-growth western juniper trees.
A permit from the BLM is needed here, as well as permission from local landowners for the use of some private roads. This is another dry camping site, so you’ll want to fill up your freshwater tank before heading out. Temperatures will vary dramatically between night and day which means that packing some layers is advisable. Hunting, horseback riding, ATV riding and nature-watching are popular activities here.
Windust Park (Kahlotus, WA)
Just 30 miles northeast of Pasco is where you’ll find this 54-acre campground which is operated and maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. While it is primitive in scope, with 24 sites that have no hook-ups, it’s perfect for the seasoned boondocker who is ready to flaunt their dry camping skills. The campground does have a dump station as well as flush toilets,
The park is situated on the north bank of the Snake River, providing you with a single boat launch ramp so you can enjoy fishing or pleasure cruising in addition to swimming in the river. This small site is the perfect way to commune with nature and get away from the stresses of daily life!
