For all you camping lovers out there, Palmer Lake is the place to go. It is a little spot a few miles south of Canada in Eastern Washington. Tonakset is the closest large town. It is a BEAUTIFUL spot. There is a strip off the main road with about 7 camp sites. It is first come first serve, so go early in the week if you want to get a spot. There is no charge, and there are trailer hook ups. A boat launch sits right in the middle of the strip for those of you who love boating. The lake is clear, warm (enough) and beautiful. Bring the whole family. You can take the boat to the other side of the lake and jump off of a tall rock into the lake. There is a sandy beach where the river meets the lake that is so much fun. The campgrounds themselves have small rock pebbles so you need flip flops most of the time, but it’s great cuz you dont have to deal with as much dirt and sand. Each camp ground has a picnic table, a flat spot for tents and a drive in spot for motor homes and trailers. And yes…. there is a bathroom..a little stinky, but nevertheless, much better then digging your own hole!!! It’s a good fishing spot too. Just dont tell too many of your friends…we don’t want it getting over run with people!! Ha. My family went for five days, and had a blast. We have friends who go for two weeks with all their kids. It’s a great spot. Bring sunscreen if you go in the summer.
