The Best Campgrounds in Tri-Cities for your Ultimate Outdoor Getaway!

Summer is here, which means it's time to break out the tent or RV for camping.

If you're like me, you look forward to getting away for a few nights into a forest of trees.

On a lake is even better. As a kid, I loved swimming in a lake. Today, not so much. I'm much better with a pool at the campground.

Most enjoy a campfire, however, conditions are so dry, that may not be possible.

Some people love smores. I enjoy conversation by the fire. Reminiscing over the day's events, planning our next day, and more.

Where can you park your RV or pitch a tent near Tri-Cities?

Of course, with camping, there may be hiking involved.

And there's no shortage of hiking trails in our neck of the woods. You can hike Candy Mountain or Badger Mountain, which overlooks the town of Richland.

The last time I went camping was several years ago in the Gorge for a concert.

We were just happy we were able to put the tent up. OK, so there was some arguing. It wasn't exactly smooth sailing. It's amazing we had room for the air mattress. I was NOT going to sleep on the ground. And, the mattress didn't make it. There was a leak, so we tossed it out as we left the camp site the following morning. We can't wait to set up camp soon at one of the above featured campgrounds.
