Just got back from a week at Sun Lakes Park Resort. So nice! Spacious sites for our camping trailer, perfectly groomed lawns, clean bathrooms and so much to do. Our friends stayed in a cabin so we were able to check that out too. While it wasn't the Ritz it was clean, spacious and comfortable. The resort is close to activities, food and sites. We were a little early in the season for some of the Resort's concessions but we still had access to the store and gift-shop. The day before left the grill opened and we had excellent burgers for lunch. What a great week! read more

Most horrible cabin rental ever. The cabin and everything in it must be at least 40 years old. The smell of old electrical makes you ill. There was a live bat in our bathroom when we arrived. The door took 5 minutes each time to unlock its handle was so old. The bed was as hard as the floor. A toaster is provided but literally nothing else.. For the price a small coffee pot and microwave or pot/pan should be included. Ridiculously over priced. read more

We have been going to this resort for over 40 years. I'm not sure what's going on with the management, however it is glaringly apparent the employees are disgruntled. My daughter forgot her paddle board paddle & got a lecture from a staff member about why she couldn't rent one. I went to inquire & the employee then scolded me stating they are tired of people not returning them. I even offered a $100 deposit assuring her we would return it. Then, the office got involved to loan us the paddles. When my daughter returned them she was scolded again by someone else. We tried to rent a peddle boat, the guy in the store told me they were on break & to wait, so I did... then some maniac ripping around on a golf cart came flying up & said we're closed. New hours as of today. I said ok what time may I rent one in the morning? He said he didn't know & to go ask the guy in the store. The guy in the store said 8:00 am- ok. Nope new hours, they opened at 9:00. I recognize it is incredibly difficult to run a business & such but it saddens me to see this so mismanaged. The only staff that seemed accommodating & friendly is the housekeeping. There was also a youthful kid working at the store that was amazing. I wish I would have gotten his name. Dark hair, around 18. Our entire group thought he was so enjoyable to be around. The blond lady in her 50's needs to be fired. The guy ripping around on the golf cart- how inappropriate. read more

So, I am in Florida during Hurricane Ian Sept 28th, 2022 staying at a friend's safe home and I break her favorite mug from Sun Lakes Resort that her best friend gave to her. Ugh! I called Sun Lakes Resort, told Goldey my story of woah and said I would pay anything to get a similar mug shipped to my friend. Goldey took photos of what was available and texted them to me. I chose the mug and said name your price. My friend received her replacement mug today and Goldey would not accept any payment from me. We did this all during a Hurricane! Goldey, I will never forget your kindness, thoroughness, especially during the end of your busy season. Blessings to you! read more

Sun Lakes Park Resort - Campgrounds Near Me - Coulee City, Washington

Cabins are rundown, old and pricey with the 50's era furnishings. Truly a dump of a place to sleep and cook. No lifeguards on duty at lake or at pool, all swim at your own risk. No recycling. Dumpsters were full. No Wi-Fi in cabins despite advertised as so. My friends who stay in RVs love this place. It does have a family atmosphere. I can't imagine tent camping though. The heat and wind dominate the scene, and the lake was disgusting. It was a sea of holiday humanity with mosquitoes and sunscreen and little kids with their diaper covers. read more

My entire extended family has been coming here for 30+ years every August as a yearly family reunion. All different types in the family: we all love and cherish this place. We do five nights, six days Sunday - Thursday. Something for everybody!! --My grandpa stays in his air-conditioned RV majority of the day. He serves breakfast, keeps all the drinks we could want on hand, plus playing cards and magazines. :) The RV park is a short walking distance away (as everything here is). It surrounds a huge grassy field where we play a baseball or racquetball game. --The families stay in air-conditioned cabins. They are clean, and you can get new towels every day by trading them in. Includes refrigerator, a fold-out futon bed, two queen beds, table, dresser, closet, oven, bathroom, etc etc. I've brought along a laptop and workout DVD's and had plenty of space to work out. --Speaking of working out: there are trails you can run/walk on, and they go right along the lake. Also you can find a set of 3 cliffs to jump off and swim - about a 5 min drive. --Speaking of the lake: it's beautiful!! Boats, jet skis, many docks, swimming area. --There's a pool as well. Mainly used by families with small kids who are absolutely adorable and you can act like a little kid for awhile and throw them. Just beware, pretty soon all the kids are swarming you and you feel like the Hulk. --Tables outside each cabin, so you can read in the morning, have snacks, serve dinner outside etc. --We do a theme for dinner each night, and a different family is in charge of the decorations, cooking etc. At the end of the week there's a voted winner. So fun. We push the tables together, get themed tablecloths, music, etc., and go to town. --Snack bar is awesome - high school kids servin' up ice cream, drinks, burgers, etc. My sisters get a smoothie every single day, they are that good. The reward after a few hours of swimming, water skiing, tanning. Hard work man. --Small grocery store with penny candy for ze kidz. --Wifi is near the office only. --In the office they serve fresh fudge and gifts. --GOLF: the men in my family are obsessed. There's also miniature golf for anyone to enjoy. In addition to all this, a short drive away you can see a movie, get pizza, etc. Usually we just stay on campus for the entirety of our trip, though. *I recommend bringing a big cooler full of drinks and packing breakfast, lunch and snack items. As we drive up each August, there is a sense of excitement and joy that manifests in our hearts. The warm memories last almost all year, until inevitably we start yearning to return!! Regardless of age - children with families, a group of 20-somethings, etc.. this is camping at it's finest. We'll be going to Sun Lakes for many years to come. read more

This place is a solid 4 of 5 stars. And I wouldn't call it camping, so much as glamping... We decided to have our Cousin Weekend here for 2010 and the place was perfect. We stayed in clean, small cabins for about $100 a night that had AC, a stove, fridge and beds. The cabins overlooked the lake and had a nice green lawn that was perfect for lawn games, family dinners and general merriment. There are also mobile homes, "deluxe" cabins that are off the lake as well as spots for tent and RV camping. If you want to have a fire, you have to get one of the portable firepits from management - which are free but there aren't enough for everyone, so put your name in early. There are many activities one can participate in here. There is golf, put put golf, a pool, paddle boats, fishing boats and a beach area to swim in. The fam had a good time at the beach but preferred the paddle boat dock for leaping into the lake. Props to management for not choosing a wooden dock, but a strange plastic composite that does get warm but doesn't hand out splinters or get really slick. The garbage situation sucks for a Seattle girlie like me. There is only 1 place to recycle here and they only do aluminum and cardboard - though I was told by management that you could leave the glass out near the aluminum bin and it would get picked up. It was a trek to be able to recycle so I didn't haul all our stuff up there everytime even though I should have. This place was fabulous and a great place for families. We're planning on heading back next year. read more

Extremely disappointing stay! First thing we noticed as we drove into the campsite was the lack of people wearing masks or social distancing in the time of COVID. A big concern, as my partner and I work for the health department and we try to be mindful of public health when we travel (we always wear our masks around others and do our best to maintain 6' feet of distance). I was hoping that an RV campsite "resort" would have had more space, but the park was very tightly packed! However we arrived after 5pm and after driving all day, we were exhausted and just needed a place to sleep so we could finish our long drive across the state. COVID concerns aside, the office staff seemed alright when we checked in, and we were able to get an end spot in the back-ish (so we could be further away from others) but I was shocked at the price for ONE NIGHT: $65.03! Extremely pricey for a single night! Showers were an extra cost, and we didn't need any RV hookups since we are off-grid. There was not much room to roam, since the park was tightly packed with campers and a bunch of people on toys to rent (like bikes, golf carts, etc). Plus, I have to mention the mini-golf course had some pretty NASTY ponds - DISTURBING! Again, we didn't come to play, if we had time to find another campsite, I would have reconsidered staying elsewhere, but I figured it wouldn't be too bad since we only needed one night to sleep. Unfortunately, the biggest issue presented itself around 10pm that night. After a relatively calm evening: we set up our tent, made dinner, got ready for bed about 9pm and started to doze off, when a uproar of children screaming and running around behind us began at 10pm and continued until 1AM! Oddly, the parents were also encouraging the kids to play loudly. The office was closed, and we didn't see any staff around. Unaware of what we could do except wait it out and hope they would go to sleep soon. Extremely disappointed, we did not sleep much and on top of the alarming noise, the campsite only allowed tent camping on the gravel areas, so it was pretty uncomfortable. After the tortuous night, we woke up early planning to get back on the road ASAP. We made breakfast and packed up our belongings. At 9am I went to check out with the office right when they opened, so I could inform them of the unsatisfactory night we experienced: loud neighbors after quiet hours, COVID un-friendly environment, and we didn't need any of the RV amenities. The staff's response was uncaring. They were not surprised and said there wasn't anything they could do. I asked for some reimbursement since I didn't feel like it was worth $65/night to park there and not even get the rest we paid for. Again they were unable to show kindness and denied any refund. Overall this was a terrible experience. The only positive was the cleaning ladies who kept the restrooms very clean - we thanked them personally. But we will not return to this campsite and we highly discourage coming here if you need a peaceful place to rest on your camping adventures. read more

Camping at Sun Lakes is a family tradition that goes back over a decade. The park staff is friendly. They have a burger and ice cream stand in the resort. The water is famously warm and inviting. It's a great place to take your family on an affordable vacation. Don't try to stay in a tent, the winds are crazy sometimes. Stay in a camper instead. read more

We love staying here once each summer, and there's a reason we return every year. Amazing location on the lake with views of the rocky cliffs on each side. Clean bathrooms (for a campground), mini-golf and ice cream for the kids, and a state park next door with excellent lake access and picnic facilities. Your parking pass for the privately owned resort counts as a day pass for the next door state park. read more

We had a lot of fun here. We are campers and have a sprinter van not a true big RV, so that part took a little adjustment. Our campsite was small and not that level. But the place more than made up for it with amenities - the pool was clean and maintained well. The lake access was awesome. That was by far and away then best part. The on-site grocery was super convenient and the prices weren't so ridiculous that you felt violated shopping there. The grill and ice cream bar was super convenient and actually quite good. The mini golf was a little crowded and bootleg but still fun. The office/store was fun and had a few interesting Knick-knacks and solid fudge selection. Overall we had fun and will be back. read more

A really nice place to camp after the high season (for me) maybe during high season for you. Great family place. RV camping and cabins galore. They're making improvements and it's just getting better and better. In the summer, they're BUSY. And I think customer service suffers a bit in the summer. But after high season when everyone's not stressed to the max the folks there will take time to talk with you, check up on you, etc. There's a period after the high season when you can golf for free. Kinda neat. I prefer the low season where there's fewer campers because the RV sites are tight. Such a pretty desert location. Check them out and venture out towards all the area adventures. read more

Sunlakes is a beautiful place, nice water and a nice view and the bathrooms are clean The police/park rangers are TERRIBLE. They make you feel like you're trapped and not on vacation. They sit and watch what you do wrong then pull you over right away. They are very rude and selfish. There was a wind storm while we were there, and some kids lost their families/ all the tents and other stuff flew away but the park rangers stayed in their cabins and locked the doors. When it was over they never checked up and asked if anyone was okay or hurt. The service was terrible and most of the rangers were VERY rude. There were spikes all over the grass/gravel. Some of the spikes got into our air mattress and deflated it. read more

Two stars because I had horrendous customer service at the snack bar last August, wrote them about it and have not heard a peep out of them. Long story short, we have been coming to Sun Lakes Resort as a family camp for 7 years...last year we ordered smoothies from the snack bar/cafe on our way out for the ride home. We waited 45 minutes before they realized that they had lost our order...so, ordered again...another 30 minutes and they had lost our order AGAIN. Unbelievable. When I complained to the manager there, she laughed at me very disrespectfully and there was no apology. Upon arriving home, I wrote to them via their Facebook page and I got a note back that they would be responding to me via mail. Not a peep, and it is 4 months later. Too bad for them, nothing like bad customer service to ruin your business. read more

This place is awesome, but we had the absolute worst time getting a spot to camp!! The host told us to go pick out a spot for our two night stay, that almost all spots are available, and when we came back with one we loved it had been reserved. This has happened three times now in the last 2 hours of us running around trying to get a spot and it has ruined our night. We let him how confusing and frustrating this whole experience was, and he didn't even say sorry. During this process, I saved someone else looking at our first pick from going through the same wild goose chase of an ordeal. 10 minutes later they came back with 2 nights at our second pick... There should be a better way. Reserve the spot people are looking at until they come back? At the least? Please educate your leaders on customer service etiquette, organization, and help them be more knowledgeable with procedures. Please don't treat your fellow friends and supporters of state parks this way. read more

I love everything about this place. The staff is incredible, the camp grounds are clean, nicely shaded and spaced out. There is running water and a picnic table for each site and the restrooms and showers are very clean and well kept. The store stays open pretty late which was so helpful and the boat rentals are pretty cheap! We just love this place and will be back again very soon. read more

Nestled at the bottom of a canyon the scenery doesn't get more beautiful. We visited this park in mid August and the weather was great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. On the downside, each night we had a horrendous wind storm which about blew our tent over and made sleep impossible (pretty common here we came to find out), the park is pretty crowded and loud, not necessarily a quiet place, and fires were not permitted, we didn't even see any fire pits. All that being said, we still had a great time. The weather was great, the lake was warm and there was plenty to do in the area. I would stay here again, but make sure you call ahead to reserve a good site. We liked the very back row for tents, lots of room in each site, and a beautiful backdrop. read more

We come here every summer. The cabins are utilitarian and barebone but that's not the reason anyone comes here. We spend all day on the lake, beach, pool. The kids love getting "chocolate explosions" at the store. The staff are very helpful--the even fixed our boys bicycle and helped track down some belongings that blew away at night. (it can get REALLY windy at night--never stay in tents here). read more

First time for us. Wasn't sure what to expect. This is busy resort. Remeber the scene in Jaws with all the tourist, boaters, kids, old ladies in big hats, teenagers to toddlers! Thats how I would describe Sun Lakes Resort. What a nice suprise. Staff is friendly and efficient. They know you want to get on the water or have a "cold one" at your site. Snackbar was a hopping place. So many people eating soft serve ice cream cones I'm surprised they can keep up with the demand! Resort was nice and clean. Staff are around on golf carts cleaning up all over resort. Popular boating and also saw many people bring in fish to clean so something for everyone. We waited until later in evening and put kyak in water after all boaters were worn out. Nice beautiful, peaceful paddle as sun was setting. Camp was quite in the evening. We are night owls so had to keep down out of respect for the rules. No big deal, played some dice in rv. Played golf at Vic Meyers and nice trail you can drive your personal cart up to club house. Great experience for us will be back! read more

A new family tradition! We stayed at Sun Lakes Resort for 4 days with our kids and loved every minute. Great layout, we had a very spacious spot for our 5th Wheel, the swimming, rentals, pool and other campers made the whole thing special. Staff were friendly without being fake or 'too nice'. They were honest about the weather during the fires and offered a refund if it got worse and we didn't come. We went, were able to take our kids up to the Grand Coulee (awesome) and enjoyed walking down for ice cream at the end of the day. Thank you Sun Lakes Resort! read more

My husband & I joined our son, daughter in law and grandchildren @ Sun Lakes. Some sites are lush & very green, watered constantly, but many are dust pits, many ruts & littered. Night 1, I went to shower, the bathroom was smelly, sweltering hot, & dirty. The showers had no lock on the door, drain flies, & hair clogged drains. I made a list, took it to the office, they said they would address it. NOPE. Each night was an adventure to shower. On night 3, I lost it at the filthy showers & bathrooms, I went to the office & let them know it was not acceptable. The matter was never resolved. The pool was nice, but old, the beach was nice, but small. They have a new snack shack. The mini golf had dried up water features that are used as trash bins by visitors, some had stagnant water with trash floating. We will never return. read more

We go to Sun Lakes yearly during the summer. We love the warmth and the lakes are great to swim and fish in! There's cliff diving at Deep Lake just a few miles down the road past the Sun Lakes State Park. The staff at Sun Lakes Resort are wonderful. They have mini-golf and a newer feature is water-mist at the mini-golf course; really a nice family thing in the evenings especially. They also have water balloon water slaughter (not sure what it's called). Paddle boards and row boats and other water fun boat thingies for rentals. The water is NOT TOO COLD!! Woo hoo great swimming! IT can get windy in the evening, so tent campers may want to secure their tents to a tree or the ground even better... Trailers are fine - just put in your awnings. read more

Definitely a good place to take the family or to go on a trip as a couple! Lots of options on activities and very friendly staff! Also Daves diner food is amazing! read more

We've tent camped here three times over the year with Memorial Day '13 as the most recent stay. The campground is well maintained as are the facilities, mini golf etc. Staff is friendly from front office, to little store or concessions. We had some late night noise issues the first night with a group next to us who didn't quiet down even with polite requests so we let the front office know. They immediately contacted the group and reminded them about quiet hours and ensured us they'd keep an eye on it for the next night. The 'neighbors' came over and apologized, promising it wouldn't happen again (which it didn't). Lots of activities for the kids to do as well but all the fun things plus treats at the concession stand start to add up LOL. Also, we generally found all of our fellow campers to be friendly and helpful. This place has been incredibly windy when I've been here in the past, so be prepared but the weather was terrific this time around. Highly recommend making the drive out here! read more

21 years of family fun! This year was the best yet!!!! Front desk was very attentive and maintenance crew (Jeff) was AWESOME! Blew up our floaties and delivered them, filled our babies pools up. Simply amazing! Cabins need updating.....#plywooddoors #giantminifridge #roofingnailsinside #woulduselesstoiletpaperifitwas2ply read more

I will never - NEVER return to Sun Lakes Resort. I have stayed at the resort a total of 5 times over the years: Twice with a group of friends tent camping with our families, once staying in a cabin as part of an extended family reunion, and once with a smaller group of family in RVs. This trip we were tent camping with a group of friends for 3 nights. One thing you MUST know: If you are in a tent and it is windy - your tent is going to blow down, get destroyed, and you will not sleep. It honestly is that bad. Now - Sun Lakes can't help the wind, but they can help many of the other problems we had on this trip: #1 - The place is run down. From the dirty broke-down bathrooms to the goat-head (puncture vine) covered ground, the dumpy cabins, the rutted out sites, and the swimmers itch lake - you get a front row seat to the deterioration of a once good concept. #2 - The management of the sites and the registration process is a circus. It took 45 minutes to get registered and check in. We were placed at the back row of the park where you are most exposed to the sun and wind even though an entire strip of well protected tent only sites went unused for the duration of our trip. The park was busy on the first night, but by the second night half the park was vacated and yet the office placed another camper in a site directly adjacent to ours. These campers pitched their tent within 2" of our tent because their site was so rutted out that they had no other place to put it. I don't blame the other campers - I blame the front office - they should have put them somewhere else. There were plenty of available sites while we all stayed there - they did not need to be where they were. I am not exaggerating - their tent was literally 2 inches away from our tent! #3 - The maintenance crew is either teenagers (who were fine, but could really care less), and some older guy who drove around in a golf cart and mumbled curses at children who happened to cross his path as he drove around. In general, the permanent housing for what I assume are maintenance or owners are the most run down and sketchy places in the joint. It has gotten far worse over the years in this respect - it is simply a poor advertisement for what they are all about. #4 - The Golf - we went up to the clubhouse the first night and asked about a 6am tee time. They said that was perfect so we showed up with about a dozen other golfers and twiddled our thumbs for 45 minutes because nobody showed up. So then we were all backed up and the round took far too long. The course is no bargain as far as I am concerned. It is a 9 hole course and the fairways are narrow and look more like a motocross wooptido than a fairway. Enjoy the view? You spend the entire time dodging the dips and bracing yourself as you get beat up driving down the center of the fairway. No thank you - I would prefer to drive a little way down the road and play $10 dollar all day golf at one of the great surrounding courses on their deal day. This course has no deal day, no bunkers, and no water features. Around $30 for 18 with a cart... if you share. You can play 18 after 2PM with cart at Highlander for $35... Highlander! This course is like a sandlot compared to Highlander. #5 - The cost. We had 3 sites with 2 tents on each site. It cost us $30 per night, per tent. It is too simply too much considering all the issues I have shared. I can price line a hotel room in any of the surrounding larger towns for $40 and I get A/C, free breakfast, and a wall thicker than a 2" gap between mine and the neighbors tent. Obviously Sun Lakes will continue down the path they are currently treading - But I will not be there again. read more

My family and I rented a cabin at the end of August. We'd never been here but decided last minute to book it, best decision! Cabins were comfortable, beds a little on the hard side but we managed. So much to do here and the State park is right next to the resort if the small beach is too crowded. read more

Come here every year the first week of August and have a blast!!!! It gets pretty windy sometimes at night but overall it is a great time and fun for the whole family. read more
