Granite Lake RV Resort

We arrived here July 28 for two nights.  This campground is located in Clarkson, Washington and directly behind a COSTCO Store.  There was also a Walmart and Albertson's nearby.  The campground was situated on the bank of the Snake River where it merges with the Clearwater River.  The river is dammed up at the Columbia River which have locks so ocean going vessels can travel the waterway to Lewiston which is just across the bridge.  We saw a hugh paddle steamer which docked next to our RV park.  This section of the river they call Granite Lake even though it is no wider than a river as far as we followed it.  It may widen out near the dam.  We did visit the Asotin County Historical Society Museum in Asotin, Washington.  They had a log cabin, pole barn, out house, and one room school classroom all decked out with period furniture.  The pole barn had several horse driven buggies and a huge assortment of over 200 branding irons.  They are open from 10 AM - 2 PM on Tuesday - Saturday and it is FREE, however they do ask for a donation.
The park was well maintained with green manicured grass between sites and one tree on each side.  Full hookups (50 amp electric, water, & sewer).  There was a bench on each site instead of picnic table and fire pit.  There was 3 or 4 covered picnic tables throughout the park.  There was no pool or spa, but you could pop into the river to cool off, but there was not a sandy beach (mostly mud and rocks). We had a pull through site, but it was only 40 foot long and we still had to detach our toed.  There were some great riverfront pull in sites that filled up after we pulled in. (they must have been reserved).  They did deliver a local paper to our site each day.  We paid $46.50 per night.  I rate this park F****.
