Where do I begin? We’ve been RV’ing for years, and in that time, we’ve experienced numerous parks across the country. Without question, Franklin County RV Park in Pasco, WA stands out as one of the absolute best. Our five-month stay flew by, and each day was even more enjoyable than the last.
Susan, the park manager, is simply outstanding—professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful. Her dedication ensures that the park is always clean, well-maintained, and inviting. The gardeners were punctual every Tuesday, keeping the grounds perfectly manicured, adding to the park’s serene atmosphere. The bathrooms and laundry facilities were always spotless, making our stay feel as comfortable as being at home. The pricing is fair and reasonable, especially considering the quality of the park and its amenities. Tri-Cities attractions are plentiful and easily accessible from the park.
Pasco has every modern convenience you could possibly need, all within minutes of the RV park. Whether it’s Costco (just four miles away), Super Walmart (less than two miles), or an abundance of local businesses offering services from dog grooming to organic groceries—you’ll find it all nearby. And if that weren’t enough, the park is right next to GESA Stadium, offering two massive sports greenbelts, perfect for everything from baseball games to skating and hockey. Plus, the HAPO Center next door offers a state-of-the-art gym membership with Olympic pool lanes, Jacuzzi, kids' indoor pool, yoga, spin classes, and more. The membership is incredibly reasonable for all the services it provides.
If you’re traveling with pets, as we were, you’ll find the park incredibly accommodating. With ample green spaces nearby, your dogs (and even your cats) will love it here. And of course, as with any responsible park, cleaning up after your pets is essential, but Franklin County RV Park does an excellent job keeping everything pristine.
In addition to these conveniences, the Columbia River is just minutes away, providing opportunities for boating and water activities. If you’re visiting in August, you can even take advantage of the local County Fair, with a free shuttle service from the HAPO Center.
Quiet hours in the park are from 9 PM until morning, providing a peaceful environment for all guests. You’ll find that the RV hookups are top-notch, with your rig sitting on clean concrete pads (no mud or grass!), offering both 30- and 50-amp options. Despite running our three A/C units, our electricity bills were always more than reasonable. The water here is fresh, clean, and delicious, and there are plenty of conveniently located dumpsters for easy trash disposal.
Though at first glance the park may seem like a concrete-heavy layout, the beautiful trees and greenery make it feel more like a peaceful retreat. And, as mentioned before, the greenbelts across the street offer a lovely place to walk and enjoy nature.
Whether you’re staying for one night or several months, I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed. If you have family or friends visiting, the Holiday Inn Express just feet away from the park is a convenient and welcoming option. And I can’t say enough about the camp hosts—they changed while we were there, and both the previous and new hosts were incredible—helpful, kind, and always treating us like family.
A few quick tips:
When arriving, enter the RV park from Highway 68 via Convention Center Drive. This will give you plenty of maneuvering space, especially for Class A motorhomes or 5th wheels. Avoid entering via Wrigley Drive as the turn into the park is tight. Similarly, when leaving, use Convention Center Drive for easier access back to Highway 68. Planning your entrance and exit ahead of time will save you some hassle and make your arrival and departure smoother.
Have fun, and enjoy your stay!
