n 1922, the Schmidt Brothers Mill constructed a sawmill and logging operation to take advantage of the wealth of timber in the area. This multi acre site incorporated homes for roughly 20 families, a mill office, a post office, cook shack, bunk house for single men, gas pump house, public well house and other small buildings, besides large lumber drying area. The mill ran continuously on this site for 50 years. For the past 40 years, it has remained as wetland and pasture land until the Mary Lou Deyo Family generously donated this land. The Deyo Dam was finished in 2011, creating the 55 acre reservoir, and the campground was finished in 2013.

The Best Camping Near Weippe, Idaho

Great camping has dispersed camping areas for tents and another side for rvs with hookups a 60 acre reservoir with boat ramp great fishing. There is also a house you can rent for large groups. reservations can be made at the weippe discovery center

New in the last few years

My favorite price for a camp site is free. After buying all my camping gear (including winter gear) I have preferred to get out and rough it. 

There’s a doc on a small pond that’s great for fishing or drinking a few in some camping chairs. 

This place is open in the winter. I want to come back and have my try at ice fishing but I’m waiting to buy a nice pair of snow shoes to be able to get in during mid-winter. 

Great dispersed camping areas

The site is very well maintained and clean. There is very little cell service and reservations are required. There is free (verrrry slow) wifi that can be used but we recommend booking ahead to save about 20 minutes when you arrive.

Reserve online beforehand

This is a nice very small campground with a very nice host family! Lots of docks for fishing in both the east and west campgrounds! Some docks are easier than others to access! None are handicap assessable! There is a small beach near the launch ramp! We enjoy this little reservoir often!!

This was our second time camping here with a different spot and perspective! We stayed in number #11 at the back near the trail path! 
We caught lots of bluegill, trout but no bass!

Great small family park

We were riding the Idaho BDR (Backcountry Discovery Route) and needed a place to camp near Pierce.  There aren't many options that are accessible for our Support Truck but found Deyo Reservoir as a welcome spot.   The West sites are very open and close to each other and are what you see first.  I kinda stumbled down to the East Campground which is more for Truck/Tent camping and is wooded and cooler (it was 95 degrees when we rode in).  Typical for Idaho the sites were nicely spaced, well maintained (it is hosted) and the Vault Toilet was very clean.
