About
Lewis and Clark Trail State Park Campground sits along Highway 12 in Columbia County, providing a lush contrast to the surrounding arid landscape of southeastern Washington. The 36-acre park features 1,333 feet of Touchet River frontage and offers a rare treasure of old-growth Ponderosa pine mixed with alder, maple, and cottonwood trees in an otherwise dry region. The campground provides standard non-hookup campsites that can accommodate both tents and motorhomes, along with unique teepee rentals and group camping facilities. Shaded trails wind through the forested park offering river access for swimming, tubing, and wading in the Touchet River. The park's riparian habitat attracts birdwatchers seeking species like common mergansers, red-tailed hawks, and orange-crowned warblers. Amenities include flush restrooms with showers, drinking water, a dump station, a reservable kitchen shelter with electricity, and fire pits at campsites. The park also features picnic facilities, interpretive opportunities, and trails for hiking. Its location makes it a convenient stopover for travelers and a popular destination for locals seeking a riverside retreat in the forested setting that's uncommon in this part of Washington.
