Fishhook Park in WA -- Campground & RV Camping

Fishhook Park sits on the waterfront of Lake Sacajawea, a reservoir formed by Ice Harbor Lock and Dam on the Lower Snake River in eastern Washington. Named after the historic Fishhook Rapids visited by Lewis and Clark in 1805, the campground is shaded by mature trees against black rock canyon walls. Facilities include 41 family campsites with electric hookups, 11 walk-up primitive tent sites, and a day-use group shelter. The site features a boat ramp, drawing visitors for salmon and steelhead fishing, swimming, boating, and hiking.
