About
Charbonneau Park is a premier U.S. Army Corps of Engineers campground located on Lake Sacajawea in eastern Washington's Walla Walla County. Formed by Ice Harbor Lock and Dam on the Lower Snake River, the lake provides outstanding recreational opportunities. The park was named for Toussaint Charbonneau, an interpreter on the Lewis and Clark expedition and husband of Sacajawea. The campground has earned recognition as one of America's Top 100 Family Campgrounds. The park features 52 family campsites and two day-use group picnic shelters, all equipped with electric hookups (50 amp) and water connections. Sites range from back-in to pull-through configurations, accommodating RVs and trailers up to 85 feet. Several waterfront sites offer scenic views of the lake. The campground provides flush restrooms, hot showers, and an RV dump station. Recreation centers on the lake, with a boat ramp and swimming beach on site. Lake Sacajawea offers excellent salmon and steelhead fishing, and the surrounding area supports upland and waterfowl hunting in season. The park's open grassy areas are dotted with shade trees, creating a pleasant atmosphere for families.
