Hood Park

About

Hood Park occupies a scenic stretch of Lake Wallula shoreline in eastern Washington, where the reservoir created by McNary Lock and Dam spreads across the Columbia River. The campground offers 67 family sites, all with 50-amp electric hookups, paved driveways, fire rings, and picnic tables. Many sites are pull-through with lengths accommodating RVs up to 86 feet or more, making this a solid choice for larger rigs. Facilities include flush toilets, hot showers, and a dump station with potable water fill. A boat ramp provides direct lake access for fishing salmon and steelhead or recreational boating. The swimming beach and day-use picnic shelter round out the amenities. The adjacent McNary National Wildlife Refuge offers nature trails and wildlife viewing for bald eagles, migratory waterfowl, and shorebirds. The park operates seasonally from mid-May through early September. Gates lock nightly from 10pm to 6am. Pets must remain on a 6-foot leash. Alcohol is prohibited. Reservations are available through Recreation.gov.
