Having never stayed here, the website made it look great. However, apparently there are new owners…read moreand the park is now substandard to the max. When we pulled in, there was a boat parked in our reserved spot. The owners didn't know whose it was, and did nothing to get it moved. That was the first strike. Never saw the owners, store and check in was always locked with no response upon ringing the bell. Strike two. Strike three was no dumpsters for garbage. Bags of garbage were piled half way up the wall of the "office". This created an unhealthy situation, rats, bugs, etc. I called the Lincoln County health department and reported the garbage issue. I wasn't the first one to report this, health department was well aware of the issues. Bathrooms were filthy. Recommendation: Never stay here, very poorly managed park.

This is definitely my favorite state park!…read more My partner and I spent one night camping, though it would've been easy to stay for a longer duration. The camping loops are clean, great picnic tables, fairly clean bathroom/shower building, and friendly rangers. We spent a fair amount of time swimming and floating in the water. It's not too chilly and mostly shallow to the first water buoy. Beware, there's a lot of plant life which can entangle you. Sandy beach. We completed the 1-1.5 mile hike up Steamboat Rock. Stunning view accessed by a sometimes steep and loose rock journey. Go early in the morning and really take your time to stay safe.

We had a really fun day at Soap Lake, thanks to the great sunshine and perfect temperature. It was…read morealso not crowded at all, but it was a random Wednesday afternoon visit. The park offers amenities: public restrooms in a building and some port-o-potties; outdoor shower to remove the grime (that gets in EVERY crack); covered picnic tables. It also has some grassy areas for recreation and a playground for the kids. Plus, there's a touch of culture, with what professes to be the first human figure sundial. The sand is rocky in and out of the water, and the water is shallow, good for keeping it fails warm and for wading quite a ways out. It was nice to slather ourselves in the clay and let it bake in before rinsing it off. But be warned, the sulfur in the water and clay will keep you and anything you wear smelling even after a thorough washing. So I wouldn't plan a nice evening out after ;-) We look forward to going back for more fun this summer, after we check out some other local beaches.

There is a bath house, Beach Access, Picnic Tables and a huge Bronze & Basalt Sundial. It's a great place to stop and play or even plaster yourself in the healing mud from the lake. Swimming is easy as you float easier because of all the minerals in the water. We made a specific trip here during our vacation. Daughter and her kids played in the healing waters while wife read a book in the shade and I took the nap I really needed. Unfortunately, I took too long of a nap and missed laying in the water :( I guess I'll have to go back next year. This is the 3rd time we've come here and it is always worth a repeat visit when you are in the area.

There is no Campground Host, maybe provide better amenities or services for them to make it appealing for them to host the place. There are trees, but might not be over your tent site, so you might get sun exposure. Bring an awning to put over the picnic table. It can get hot during the summer days. No privacy, sites are pretty close to each other. This place is good if you need a place to stay while visiting the Grand Coulee Dam. The restrooms were clean and well stocked. The upper loops is like parking your car or tent under apartment covered carports. I would not stay at the upper loop and if you have an RV or a trailer, your rig might not fit under the car ports. Make sure you're certain of your RV size and length. The beach and swimming areas are very nice. The swim platform was 4 feet exposed from the water since the river is low. But you can still enjoy the beach. Good for family and kids. They have nice walking trails. The sign at the front says campground FULL but there are MANY open spots. Please remove the sign to give campers a chance to look for availability instead of giving that we're full impression. If you want the campground occupied, remove that FULL sign before someone else remove it for you. The views from the lower loop of the river is awesome. This place is nice for the views. The whole area is nice, just be ready to be next to your neighbor. Go visit Grand Coulee Visitor Center, go on a power plant tour and go watch the laser show at night. I will be back to stay if I am ever in the area.

The park is not selling fire wood this year (2020), so we had to find a nearby gas station after we arrived. They do have ice for $2/bag. The campsites themselves are a good size and we felt like we had plenty of distance from our neighbors. There were a good number of kids around making lots of noise, but the camp manager came around at night to make sure the buzz of the campground stayed at a low, consistent level. The facilities are fine and the shower is one big room and was plenty satisfactory. With covid, the playground is closed. In addition there is apparently toxic algae every year, so the beachfront is closed often, and it was on our visit. Finally, the wasps here are numerous. I was wearing flip flops and still got stung on the foot. I don't feel they were particularly aggressive, but they are everywhere. If you cook anything, you will be completely swarmed. Bring some traps to try and keep them away from your site.
