This RV park is co-located with a hotel (currently a Days Inn) on the Canyon Road exit off I-90 in Ellensburg. Because of this, they follow “hotel procedures,” which means you must “check out” when you leave.

All pads are asphalt, there are pull throughs and back-ins. The pull throughs, which are relatively level, consist of front and back “twosies” (A and B). A is the front, B is the back. If you are in the “B” slot and need to leave, and the “A” slot is staying, then you have to back out. The “back-ins” are on the perimeter, and not as level. RV’s are located quite close together at all sites. The park has 50 amp service. Cable service consists of a limited number of channels, but they are all good channels (networks, USA, TNT, CNN, ESPN, Discover, etc), no “junk” channels. The hotel wireless is available for the RV park, but good luck trying to connect! There are laundry facilities, reasonably priced.

The park literature “brags” about clean laundry and restrooms. They were ok, but don’t deserve bragging rights. There is an indoor pool and hot tub, you have to go through the hotel to use these. The pool is only 4 feet deep, basically “kiddie size.”

I was traveling on a Saturday in mid-July, and I had NO reservations (risky)! I arrived at 1:00 PM and there were plenty of spots. Many more RV’s arrived by 7:00 PM, but there were still a few available spots. Park is located next to a “Flying J;” if you have a WiFi account with “Flying J,” you can connect to that service if you can’t get the hotel’s WiFi.

This is a good place to overnight, if you need it.

This is our second time to Tri Cities RV Park and we will be back again. The park is large, with many full-timers but they save some nice spaces for those of us coming for a few days. The staff are helpful and friendly and when we couldn’t get leveled at the site they assigned us, they happily gave us another. For some reason they don’t advertize the fact that they have WIFI, but they do and it’s free.

They also have free cable TV, channels 2-99, a coin operated laundry, and all for $25 a day. Its rather hard to get into. Take the Columbia Center Boulevard off Hwy240. The problem is you need to go left almost immediately but there is no left hand turn. You can take a right on Tapteal and then go over the overpass and down, looking for the park at about 1 oclock. If you miss that turn, go up to the second light, turn right into the mall parking lot and right again to make a left back on Columbia. Turn right just after Midas and again, look on the left for the park sign.

I’m torn and not sure what to post here. We had a great site. The campground is located right on the Yakima Rivers edge, weeping willows dipping their branches in the water, ducks, geese and turtles begging for food, fish jumping out of the water tempting to be food.

It was a great site… but the site was neither cable or sewer. The full service sites were more like parking spaces up on the hill and the sites that have full timers resembled a junk yard in places. WIFI was free and that’s a plus. The showers were clean and the water was hot. The laundry was also nice, and a little store was just that, little. If you can do without cable and your tanks are big enough to wait to dump, I would recommend site 79 or those along the river.
