Love Russell Campground! We come here as often as we can. Everything very clean & well taken care of.

We really enjoy this state park, and appreciate that Frank Russell campground has full hookups. We know that were in the heart of nature, but really hated seeing so many ticks around our campsite.

Great campsites, warm showers, peaceful evenings.

Nice nice place

We had a great stay other than the grass was really tall around the campsite.
@DaleP5415770 · Camped on May 15, 2025 at Campsite #44
Other than the grass not being mowed, it was great. At week before Memorial Day, the grass was ankle tall. Made for a lot of bugs and worse, ticks! Crawling on us, the dogs even had some latch. Mowing finally happened the Tuesday we left. Mowing no trimming. Disappointed, thiss usually a very nice & well tended camp.

Clean with concrete pads for RV. Excellent Cellular signal with T-Mobile. A hidden gem
@DennisM8587674 · Camped on May 4, 2025 at Campsite #50B
Loved the campsite- hosts were very friendly and helpful.
@GeneE22103426E · Camped on May 1, 2025 at Campsite #59
The concrete pads are very nice. Plenty of room for a travel trailer and tow vehicle as well as a boat and second vehicle. The electric, water and sewer hookups were all well placed and worked as they should.
@SherylK30DE331 · Camped on Apr 24, 2025 at Campsite #48
This was our first time at this campground. We loved the concrete pads and the people at the front office were very nice. We actually changed a reservation at another park to camp here again.
@KayleZ5DEFAFF9 · Camped on Apr 15, 2025 at Campsite #62
Stop sign by entrance sticks out too far. I thought I was over far enough, but wasn't and scratched my trailer. Sites are not marked well enough to see the number very clearly. Fresh lime every where, but it had not been hosed down so it was a dusty mess and got all over everything. The lime was up toy horse's ankles in the stall. My rig is long and barely fit. I couldn't get parked and had a friend offer to park it for me. Next time I will try the private campground up the road.
@ScottD5141264 · Camped on Apr 11, 2025 at Campsite #39
Little low on water pressure due to the amount of campers hooked up. Other than that a great clean campground
@BurnettVF86EDF · Camped on Apr 11, 2025 at Campsite #48
Very nice time love the renovations to the park
@RandyS7957196 · Camped on Apr 9, 2025 at Campsite #51
The all concrete pads were amazing, as was double driveway. The only down side was the condition of the bath house. It meds a little TLC.
@JohnB25C9C5AB2 · Camped on Apr 6, 2025 at Campsite #41
This is a great campground. Full hook-ups, concrete pads, and lots of activities at the campground and nearby. Check out the visitor center across the dam. It is interesting.
@MeganR95D52E51 · Camped on Apr 4, 2025 at Campsite #50B
Frank Russell is always very clean and quiet! We love camping here. The kids love camping here because of the fishing lake and the archery range. Such a cool campground! Plus all the new amenities and concrete pads are a huge bonus! The trail to the lake is beautiful too! It lands you in the perfect area to just sit and enjoy the peace of the water!
@MichaelT862538 · Camped on Apr 4, 2025 at Campsite #37
Stayed at Frank Russell--spots were excellent and upgraded--main road to campspots needs resurfaced--had continual 'bumps' where utilities had been ran across the road
@LisaM2898345 · Camped on Apr 3, 2025 at Campsite #66
The equestrian campsite and trails are amazing!
@KevinA3275318 · Camped on Oct 30, 2024 at Campsite #57
Very nice campground.

Very well cared for and very friendly host!
@maryw3172749 · Camped on Oct 28, 2024 at Campsite #26
Loved having full hook ups and concrete pad, and the sites had plenty of space and nice trees. Need to have recycling and lots were not level. Would definitely camp here again.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

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!!!
