Great spot by the river (smells like manure)

If you don't mind the smell of manure this place is for you! We stayed in the Trout Point area, site 17. There are several camp sites located in this section of the park, most of which are big enough for a fifth wheel or TT. We had no issues with our 17.5 foot trailer. Site 17 has a small "beach" where we could launch our kayaks. Otherwise the shore is rocks and has a steep drop off into the river. There was a vaulted toilet, no other amenities. Fish were jumping all night. There are two entrances to the recreation area, one of which goes under a train trestle (11 feet clearance). There were a lot of flies, which I guess is to be expected. Minimal amount of mosquitos. While it is BLM, it is $15 for overnight camping.

Nice spot by river

Once we got here, we enjoyed it! Unfortunately, the coordinates provided are incorrect and took us to the opposite side of the river. We googled the park location and we’re able to get there, but encountered construction on roads and had to take a few detours. We arrived after dark and we’re thankful to find one empty spot! There was construction across the river occurring all night. Yet, besides all that, the spot was sweet by the river and a lot of open space. There was good distance between other spots making it feel private. We would return!

Beautiful view, smells like cows

Incredible river views. Secluded in Muskrat Bend section. Lots of birds. Pit toilet clean and well stocked, even at the end of the holiday weekend. Easy access from the interstate. Smelled like cow pasture.

Little gem from BLM!

We arrived at this BLM site after dark snd no one else was anywhere in sight (it was mid-December and 20 degrees). We camped in our van by a point on the water on a undeveloped site. In the morning we saw we were across the water from a more developed site with a outhouse, trash bins and picnic table nearby. We had good cell phone coverage with both Verizon and AT&T. This site was a overnight fee of $5 but the fee depot box did not have a lid and had become a bird nest so we could not use it. I imagine this place being well used in warmer months. There are some interpretative trails that show old ruts from the Oregon Trail. Also a shooting range nearby but no one was there. As for wildlife we only saw a little bunny in the morning. The damned section of the Snake River was partially frozen.

Do You Like Cow Smells?

Campground and day use area alongside a dammed section of the Snake River about 15 minutes off 84. Frequent pelicans swooping by, giant fish in the water, constant smell of surrounding agriculture. We got in after dark and ended up in a spot across the river and overlooking the actual campgrounds, which looked nice and shaded from afar. Not bad for five bucks!
