Hells Canyon lives up to its name🤣

This campground was so nice and well kept and the host was amazing! However, I would not recommend going during summer as the heat is unbearable unless you have a camper with an A.C., and even then, the cooler has an issue with keeping up with the heat. If you choose to camp during the summer, I would recommend a fan, and a mister is a must!

Right by the water

We love this place... this is our go-to campground and one of our favorites. Kids can go swimming and fishing or just hung out by the water!

Base camp for Snake River recreating

Stopped here before a 5 day rafting trip on the Snake River. There were plenty of shaded RV and tent sites for our crew, and also had trailer parking for our rigs. It’s a beautiful spot right on the river. We spent hours playing lawn games at the picnic tables! While not in the campground, boat ramps are nearby. I had very good LTE signal on my phone which was very handy for getting the group together and organized. For supplies, Scotty’s market is about 15 minutes away; he also runs a shuttle service.
