Agate Acres RV Park
Campground Description: Agate Acres RV Park is a privately owned and operated facility located approximately 21 miles south of Kennewick, WA, near the intersection of Interstate 82/US Highway 395 and Washington State Route 14. All sites at Agate Acres are full hook-up complete with water, electricity and sewer. The overall park is best described as "utilitarian." There are a few Poplar trees along the edges of the campground - there is no grass and the closest thing to landscaping are the sage brush and tumbleweeds growing around the RV park. The entire park at Agate Acres is covered in crushed rock. The owners are currently (Spring 2008) adding a facility to offer restrooms, showers, and exercise room and a entertainment room. Restaurants and shopping are available in the Tri-Cities (25 miles North), in Umatilla, OR, (4 miles South) and in Hermiston, OR, (12 miles Southeast). Note that high winds and dust are an occasional problem in the area, sometimes necessitating parking jacks under RVs to hold them steady. Open year round.
