August 1, 2010
Yakama Nation RVP
Toppenish, Washington
After a couple of days and about 60 gallons of gas, stopping at Boise and Pendleton, Oregon, we arrived at a campground we have been to before and enjoyed it. The grounds are grassy and well kept and the interior roadways are paved and scooter friendly. There is also a restaurant on the property. It is not actually in Yakima, Washington and for some reason spelled with an “a” instead of an “i”. It is officially Indian land.
Usually when we check in, besides verifying the rate (which was $30/day or $32 with cable), we ask about the weekly rate. Most times campgrounds will offer 7 days for the price of 6. Initially we were planning on 4 or 5-day stay but when I was told the weekly rate was $75 we were surprised and interested. I asked again to make sure I was not hearing wrong since I expected to hear $175. Nope, $75 it was and that included cable. On top of that, my Good Sam discount of 10% brought it down to $67,50 and there was no tax. We are really going to enjoy our week here.

Hi: A mutual RV traveler "introduced us" and I'm enjoying your travels. A note on the Yakama tribe spelling of their name (the Indian spelling uses the "a") and the city of Yakima (white mans spelling...evidently a phonetic misunderstanding). I'll be starting a 6,000 RV trip next week and your blogs are helpful...full of tips. MB Ryan
