We were looking for an electric spot for the weekend due to the record breaking heat this summer. We happened upon Canyon Pines and we struck gold. This wonderful family run campground was lovingly build from the ground up. The level gravel sites were surrounded by lush grass. Each site had a nice picnic table and fire pit. We weren't ablebto use due to fire restrictions in the area.

There is a camp store that has just about everything you might need including a good selection of wine and beer. There is a lending library for books and a huge DVD library. $2 rental.

The bathhouse is a little dated, but spotlessly clean. The laundry is $1.75 each machine. There is also an activity room. There are quite a few sites along the Salmon River which will calm the nerves. Even if you don't score a river site. You can still hear it crashing over the rocks.

There is a little noise from the main road, but we never heard it after we went to bed.

There is no cell service, but wifi is available. NO streaming and intermittent for browsing.

PRO TIPS: Riggins is about 6 miles away. Try the brewery in the local bar. Good beer.

River Adventures Jet Boat tour of Hells Canyon is worth it!

David (owner of Canyon Pines) pointed us to Heaven's Gate Mtn overlooking the 7 Devils Mtns. GO!!!
