Reviews
"I stayed in a tent only site & was the only one in the section. The tent sites are great because the parking spots are small enough that RVs & Sprinter vans won't fit so you won't find yourself next to a "dry camper" that proceeds to run their generator all day/night. There is an automatic sprinkler system that limits where you can set up your tent. If you tent camp in one of the hookup sites, you have to pay full-price & set your tent up on the pavement. Advertised cost is $20 to tent camp, with fees it's $21.70. You register at a tablet near the bathrooms. It feels a little sketchy if you're doing it in the dark. For RVs / trailers- when I was registering, I noticed it stated that the campground was developed before RVs were commonly over 30' long & before slide outs were common, so this could pose an issue for you. The tablet does help you try to find an appropriate site based on which side of your unit has slides. If you're a larger unit and/or have slides, the Idaho Power Campground at Hells Canyon Park may be more appropriate for you, although it's arguably less scenic- it is right on the river / reservoir but units are parallel parked on either side of the drive lane that accesses the tent area."
"Nice campground with electric and water. Beside the Snake river and Hell's Canyon Has showers and clean restrooms"
"We stopped over for a night on our road trip and were super happy with the campground. The grounds are huge, well manicured and right against the Snake River. We tent camped and our space was very roomy and nicely set up with a paved parking spot, concrete picnic table, and a metal fire ring. Would love to stay here again."
"Super well-kept campground, all paved spots, no gravel -- right on the Snake River. We liked it a lot, except for one evening out of three we stayed, the bugs were pretty bad. But it was great the rest of the time. There are many raft tours that start nearby after the Hells Canyon dam, but plenty of boating / fishing before the dam too. Caveat #1: If you need WiFi or Cell service, you will be out of luck, it's pretty bad. We didn't need it so no biggie for us. But don't try "Work from home" or "remote school" there. Caveat #2: there are no stores or gas stations for many miles around, so be sure to have a full tank before you get there, and a cooler with food. Fill up in the town of Halfway ~20 miles if you arrive from the West, or Cambridge ~20 miles if you arrive from the South. There is no North or East roads that go to this area, it's pretty remote."
"This place has bern a family favorite for over 25yrs! Highly recommended. Showers are not but open but restrooms are! Beautiful spots, green grass clean restrooms, close to river, nice area to play in water, horse shoes playing area."
