The Camp Host at Prosser Family campground, Kim S., was incredibly helpful and welcoming. As a dry camp, with many barriers to camping this fire season, Kim was professional, accommodating and a welcome presence to the Prosser campground. We will be back, and we hope Kim S.will be too!!

Nice location well kept, but the lack of running water made it a little bit difficult. Kim was our camp host, She was awesome. No sign of bears. But boxes are available. Easy back-in for trailers and most sites are large.
