With easy access from US Highway 395, this park in central Washington is a great spot to stop over for a night or a week.
As a part of our longer trip to Yellowstone National Park, we stopped over at this campground for an overnighter, to break up the longest leg of our journey. Even with as little as a week of notice for the reservation, we were able to get a spot for the night. The camp host is very friendly and accommodating.
The inner roads of the campground are wide and easy to navigate, and fully paved. We were able to navigate to our site without disconnecting the Jeep, and at no time were in danger of cutting a corner too tightly, or taking a turn too wide.
We were in site 41, which is a buddy site. These sites are especially good for folks that may be traveling in more than one RV, like in a caravan or similar situation. We got one half of a buddy site, in which we were paired with a nice family from Pennsylvania, heading the opposite direction to Olympic National Park in northwest Washington.
The sites are mostly level, with some front-to-back slope. Nothing that your leveling jacks (or a block or two) can’t resolve.
The only problem we had (not the fault of the campground) was the road construction on the road approaching the park. One lane was closed while a pipe was being installed, which made it somewhat challenging to squeeze into the tight space. If you visit while the construction is still happening, swing wide and you’ll make it.

Note that this is a no-fire campground. You are allowed to have personal propane and/or charcoal grills, but open fires are prohibited due to the high fire danger. Remember, you are in the middle of farmland and scrub, so the slightest stray spark can start a big wildfire.
The grounds are well maintained, in that there are grass strips between the sites that are well maintained, and the 72 individual gravel sites each have a picnic table and ample room for activities.
The campground, while situated very close to the southbound on ramp of US 395, was not as noisy as we thought it would be. Sound sleep was had by both of us, and we could easily hold a conversation while outside.
Amenities
I’ve listed the park amenities in the table below. Since this was just an overnight stop for us, we did not take advantage of the amenities that are listed.
I can say the 50-amp power was clean, and we got roughly 34 PSI of steady water pressure from the water connection.

Summary
Whether you are passing through, or staying a while, I would recommend that you keep Coyote Run on your shortlist of places to stay. The combination of good weather, friendly people, and a nicely maintained park make for a good stay.
