The best camping near Benton City with fishing

·

Benton City draws anglers with over 140 campsites where you can cast a line just steps from your tent. Expect riverbanks lined with willows, wide-open skies, and easy access to fishing spots. Nightly rates average $50, with some sites starting at $35. Top picks like Willow Barn Ranch (309 reviews), JenEric Alpaca Ranch (46 reviews), and Country Home Lane (36 reviews) make a good base for a fishing trip. Most sites let you build a campfire, bring pets, and have access to toilets. When you want a break from the rod, there’s swimming and horseback riding nearby. Bring sturdy boots—the riverbanks can get muddy after rain, and the best fishing often means a bit of a walk.

Many wineries, brewies and outdoor activities available in the area. Children can help feed or water the pigs and perhaps the chickens. Be aware though when piglets are around at times they are very small and are amazing escaped artists so do not keep food out unless you want to try and pet one they are friendly. We are more than happy to help suggest wineries and brewies in the area or enjoy the bar area we have! We offer several campsites as well as an in-ground greenhouse as listings. Guests love staying with us: "The pond at Willow Barn Ranch was picturesque. Show us around the property. It's very quiet and peaceful, and you can tell you take good care of your land.
