In the agency’s own words

Hood Park is located on Lake Wallula in eastern Washington. The lake is formed by McNary Lock and Dam on the Mid-Columbia River. Lewis and Clark camped two miles downstream at the confluence of the Snake and Columbia Rivers, which is now the location of Sacajawea State Park. Visitors enjoy camping, fishing, boating, hiking, picnicking and swimming. Keep reading

Recreation

The lake provides great boating and swimming opportunities, and a boat ramp is provided for guests. Fishing is also a popular pastime, and anglers will find excellent salmon and steelhead fishing on the lake.

Facilities

Hood Park offers 67 family sites and one day-use group picnic shelter, all with electric hookups.

Natural Features

The campground is situated along the banks of the lake, offering sweeping views. Campers enjoy relaxing in the shade of the mature trees throughout the park. Contact Info For local information, please call (509) 547-2048 or call (877) 444-6777 for general information.

Nearby Attractions

The McNary National Wildlife Refuge is adjacent to the park. It provides habitat for migrating waterfowl, bald eagles, shorebirds and other wildlife. Nature trails and an environmental learning center are open to the public.

Who keeps the booking fee

The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.
