Tucanon is a bit over 2 hrs with all the little lakes for trout. I have never stayed there but my uncle likes Windust Park on the Snake. Supposedly free. Look it up on the net. 30 miles from pasco, you could take a drive up and look around in an evening. Swimming etc ? Are you looking for remote ?

Look also at the Little Naches/Naches River area. FR19 off of 410, IIRC. Somebody will correct, if wrong. Tons of unimproved camping.

👍🏻Grew up going up there every summer for a week. Never have stayed anywhere except Mardon resort. We plan on making that a yearly thing. I do need to drive up there to find a place to camp on water.
Snake is a cool place, love that river. Cause we live close, we spend a ton of time on snake so I thought something different would be good. Windust is free
