We enjoy spending time at Cossatot Reefs. Nice large campsites. Close access to the Cossatot River for swimming, floating and fishing. Lots of wildlife to enjoy. (Deer, fox, blue heron, bald eagle...) The camp grounds are well maintained. Nice restroom/shower facilities. Easy access to Gilham lake for boating, fishing, and swimming. Camp managers are so nice and helpful.

We've been camping at Cossatot Reefs for the last 20+ years. The camp sites are spacious and well maintained. The camp manager/ hosts,are always nice and accommodating. The bathroom/showers are kept clean. So many activities available from fishing, swimming or floating the river and lake to hiking and bird watching. So much wildlife to enjoy. We made use of the nice Pavillion this summer for a family reunion.

Very nice and clean restrooms.
@MichaelF110976 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #18
Stayed at this location twice and its quiet and comfortable. My only negative is that you may be sharing water access for your campus with your neighbor.
@RobertF6718628 · Camped on May 5, 2025 at Campsite #15
We had a place on the river. There is a pump alarm that was going off all the time, when we asked they said it always goes off. The bathrooms have warm water. There is no wifi in that area. We were able to check out some horse shoes and play a game. We were told to watch out as their are snakes near the river, but I never saw any.

We loved our favorite campsite. The park was quiet with the storms coming. Nice hot water in the showers. We enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful experience
@scotts8955128 · Camped on Nov 1, 2024 at Campsite #14
We arrived after dark and the signage was terrible, we found the next day they were hard to see even in the daylight, faded almost to the point you couldn't read them. Our spot #14 was great, level and next to the river with large trees surrounding the site, the sites are well space with plenty of room. The only real draw back was the lack of cell reception, we have AT&T and we had no signal, so no internet for the TV and we also tried to use the digital antenna and that was useless also. If you are looking for a quite spot unconnected from everything this is a beautiful location.

Quaint, quiet and clean. Very nice park and park attendants.
@BruceS5371230 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #13
Always good.Sites could use TLC!
@GarryMF8C312A0 · Camped on Jun 7, 2024 at Campsite #16
there are only about 3 sites that can pick up Dish satellite service because of trees. The satellites are south west which is in line with the road. If some of the tops of trees that follow the road were trimmed it would help. What would also help would have WIFI service. Cell service is non existent in the park. We come to the beautiful park every year and enjoy it. The check out time should be noon not 5PM. I do not drive in the afternoon pulling a camper. I always leave about 9:00 or 10:00 before the wind comes up and less traffic. We are senior campers and it is important when we travel.

A great place to camp. Even tho it was stormy our group had a great time. We are planning on coming again next year.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
