Barrier Dam Campground — Reviews

Nice and quiet

The staff were friendly and the campground was relatively clean and quite, especially for a Memorial Day weekend (the camp seemed to be about 75% booked). That said, the facility is pretty run down. The men's bathroom had a broken sink and the women's had 2 broken toilets. The showers are coin op, but there was no information about this in the booking process. after acquiring quarters, the showers were not easy to use. You have to turn the water completely off after every 3 minute quarter or it comes out as a drizzle. The second day we were there there was no hot water in the showers at all. Also there is what seems to be a permanent RV near the front that had a yappy dog that they let stay outside all night and bark. kind of rude. Over all we had a pleasant time, but a big part of that was because all of the tent sites around ours were empty, giving us some privacy. I would hate to be there if the place was packed.

The site photos and advertising are deceiving. This is a primitive camp which is not necessarily a bad thing if that is what you are expecting. The “pull through” was actually the road and more than 50’ to the electric and water hookup. Owner did relocate us to an acceptable back in spot and we enjoyed the tranquility for two nights. Plenty of room for us and our dogs to enjoy.

The site was very convenient to where we were fishing. The bait is amazing and blew my expectations. Only reason to not give 5 stars is out trailer did not sit level at our site even after putting it on blocks. Definitely would recommend staying again.

Excellent stay! From our initial greeting when we checked in to the time we left. Highly recommended.

Nice and quiet. Very nice owners. Bathroom were clean. Enjoyed our stay.

We had a great stay. Very friendly staff, campground was nice, check in and out was super easy! Only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star was the restrooms could have been a little cleaner. Otherwise we would definitely come back!

Great people good access to the river. Most spots not long enough for our toy hauler. However very private and quiet.

I love this place so much !! Lee and his wife so nice!! I’ll be back soon!!

Friendly staff and large sites.

Some of the RV spots looked pretty spacious and nicer. The tent spot we stayed in barely had room for a tent, was sloped and had close neighbors we could hear arguing at night. Overall this is a very old campground with old facilities. Not too bad if you need to be close to the river, but I would prob only stay here again in a pinch. Also, some campers were pretty loud— a dog barked for at least 2 hours, people who were loud until 10:30 at night.

Little family owned camp spot. Super quiet. Garbage cans at every site. Water and electric (30 amp only) Well stocked market Showers $0.75 for 3 min though If you were into fishing many spots within minutes Dump station but no water to rinse Ernie ( the ranch hand) makes this place a hidden gem … Now if they had horse shoes for the pit or a disc golf course with discs to rent this would be the cats meow of family run spots!

Wife has to use a wheelchair full time but thankfully she can still somewhat walk. Bathroom was not assessable and the store wasn’t- she continued to run into product. Otherwise staff were very extremely friendly, speedy too!

Great place! Quiet this time of year , friendly hosts, good little shop, they were gracious with the camp fire wood available, which we appreciated. We had great site with plenty of space, had a perfect field with playground for our dog and kids to play in. Only note would be the bathrooms could use more attention, be cleaner, etc. was not comfortable using them. Not sure if it’s because it’s off season , but otherwise we will definitely be returning to this campground.

Really great folks running this campground and tackle shop. Sites are nice, store has everything you need, close to the river.

The park was well kept. A great location if you plan to fish. Very close to salmon & steelhead river. Bait & tackle shop. We spent a couple days visiting the area. It was nice to get a little fishing in each evening after returning.

This will continue yo be one of our main spots. It is clean, easy to get to, and the family there that owns and care for the property is so accommodating and friendly. Their store is great a little of everything all kinds of goodies, and the fishing side is a dream place for fishermen. We will be going back very soon

The owner was super friendly, amazing campground and very clean and quiet. Very welcoming campground.
