Hood Park, Washington

Ruff Road Review

Just off of I90 in Washington, near the town of Burbank, is a US Army Corps of Engineers park called Hood Park. Hood Park is located on the shores of Lake Wallula and the Snake River which flows into the Columbia River.

Fun fact: Lewis and Clark camped near here where the Snake River flows into the Columbia River. You can visit this location which is now Sacajawea State Park.

What does Hood Park have to offer?

Hood Park is a picture perfect park like setting with sprawling shade trees and lush green grass. Even though it is a larger campground with 67 campsites, each site is spacious with plenty of room between sites. All sites provide a view of the water. The park has electric hook-ups but you will need to use your on board water. There are many water faucets around the campground to fill jugs and you can fill your tank with fresh water at the dump station.

Things to do:

Boating Swimming Fishing Bike Trail nearby! We enjoyed kayaking these waters.

Dog Walking Report: Park roads and walking trails around fishing ponds provide ample room to walk dogs.

What about phone service?

Verizon works great at Hood Park. We only use Verizon, but according to Trip Wizard reviews, T Mobile, Sprint, and ATT also work here.

Where have we been? Where are we going?

We are gradually making our way from Oregon back to Florida. You can check out our trip to Oregon from Florida on our channel playlist, Full Time RV Life- Campgrounds from Florida to Oregon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwigIQJQWqc&list=PLm8lskmqAcnMNY1zzxKNXYHmIgpLbeQAR

Our last stop was LePage Park in Oregon. https://ruffroadrvlife.com/oregon-camping-lepage-park/

We enjoyed five days at Hood Park before hitting the road and heading to Idaho. After a peek at Idaho, we are on to Montana, and South Dakota. Our route will then take a dive south. Stay tuned for more reviews, full time RV life tips, and adventures.
