About Wanapum Recreation Area
This campground sits on the shoreline of the Wanapum Reservoir, part of the Columbia River in central Washington. It lies inside Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park, so nearby trails pass petrified wood and basalt cliffs shaped by the region's geologic history. Families use the picnic tables, swim area, and boat ramp, which are close to the campground. Shade trees offer relief from summer heat. Most sites have full hookups, with a few hiker/biker sites. Tent camping is less common because the area is often windy.
