    Adams Ranger Station

    Mountain Views and Rich History

    Beautiful log cabin in the mountains of Idaho, located in Nez Perce Clearwater National Forest, so astonishing views are plentiful. There is no cell service here, so prepare for the trip ahead, print out your maps to the station, otherwise getting lost on your way here is a very likely possibility. BYO drinking water, headlamps and sense of adventure. Pack out what you pack in..must respect the power of nature.

    Near by attractions are Florence which is a well known location for gold mining in days past, nice place to hike and explore the area’s history.

    Three Rivers Resort & Campground

    Three Rivers Resort in Idaho

    So, I’m not sure why “resort” is in the title, this certainly not a resort in the traditional sense. But, this is a great place to stop if headed up the Lochsa River and has something for everyone.

    The “resort” has riverfront cabins, double occupancy motel rooms, A frame cabins, RV spots with hookups and a large tent camping area for motorcyclists, bicyclists and hikers. The mix of campers makes thing interesting. Add to this that the river raft guides take out at this location and this is a busy and fun place to spend a night. It has been very busy every time I have stopped, often full of RV’s with families spending a long weekend.

    There is a small market, restaurant and bar, and an outdoor pool and hot tub. The market is well stocked with most of what you might have forgot to pack. They sell firewood as well. The bar offers typical burgers and bar fare and was lively enough even in peak Covid. This is Idaho after all, Covid seems like an afterthought in most of central and North Idaho.

    The resort is located along a sweeping bend of the Lochsa river, which the highway follows on the opposite side. With the proximity of the highway, the RV’s in the campground, the cabins, etc, this is not a tranquil wilderness campground. It is however a great spot to spend the night while passing through.

    I was on a motorcycle and there were probably 8-10 other riders tent camping. Several fires were going and folks were friendly and outgoing. There was no cell service for AT&T, but the market and bar had WiFi that you could access by sitting outside the front door.

    I’ve stayed here 3 times and it will always be on my list when passing through this part of Idaho.

    Freeman Creek Campground — Dworshak State Park

    A little bit of everything!

    Freeman Creek at Dworshak State park has great opportunity for all levels of camping. Tent sites, RV/Trailer sites, or a few small primitive cabins (no bathrooms or kitchens in the cabins). There is also access to the reservoir for boating, fishing or to mini-camp sites all along the reservoir. Kokanee fishing is great from March to about late July. The spawn begins in August, so the fish move up the reservoir as the season progresses. Smallmouth bass fishing is great! The Idaho state Smallmouth record was caught in this lake. Day use parking is available for a small fee. For Idaho residents with the State Parks pass reduces the fee. A lot of wildlife viewing too! If you are lucky you may see a black bear feeding on blackberries, deer are numerous, elk frequent the lake, and one of my favorites is to watch Osprey dive in the lake for fish.

    I have been at this park in every month of the calendar, but only camped from April thru October.

    Winchester Lake State Park Campground

    Peace in the pines

    Upon arrival, we immediately felt the peacefulness. Our site was tucked into the pines creating a canopy of coolness in the midst of the oppressing heat of this record breaking year.

    The sites are somewhat level. Easily adjusted to make them work. The space between sites are not as generously spaced as with othe Idaho SP we have stayed in. There are vault toilets throughout the campground with one building that houses flush toilets and 2 shower stalls. They are older but squeaky clean.

    There's a great day use area that has a large covered pavilion, playground and boat launch/ pier. I don't fish, but loaner poles are available at the visitor center. The boat launch is further around the lake and provides ample parking and a vault toilet. No motorized watercraft are allowed on the lake which makes it a wonderful place to kayak and SUP.

    There are a few trails around the lake. Nothing hard. There are tons of thimbleberries bushes along the road yo the boat launch and were just about ripe. They are so delicious!

    Enjoying the peace and quiet of the SP should be your expectation as there is not a lot of other options nearby.

    2 bars AT&T LTE

    Pro note: Wolf Track micro brewery is about 30 min. away in Cottonwood. Good beer. Also, stop at the Bark Park just as you enter the town of Cottonwood. You'll understand once you visit.

    Freeman Creek Campground — Dworshak State Park

    5th wheel traveling with big family and multi age group kids

    To start, what a gorgeous area! Quiet, calm, nice. 

    At first when we rolled into our spot I thought I was going to be in huge trouble- drive through spot with a wicked drop off on the right side (camper door side) with the fire pit and picnic table at the bottom. I pictured kids falling, food mishaps, general non fun trudging up and down. Well, it actually turned out ok: we moved our 5th wheel as far from the edge as possible which allowed for a decent platform and we ended up having a birds eye view of what all the kids were doing. If that's still a problem, be mindful of what site you are signing up for, meadow ones are available. 

    • Bathrooms and showers were ok, though the standard, push the button every 30 seconds to have water flow in your shower is a little annoying (maybe i'm just a princess). 
    • Sweet little nature trails were pretty and easy for smaller children to walk through. 
    • Easy lake access is only in the park/play area. The rest of the lake access is a pretty blunt drop off from forest to water (read: no wadding in the sand). But the play area was pleasant. I heard that this year (2021) is was a bit more run down than usual so maybe next year it'll improve??? We still enjoyed the water and had a ton of fun finding tadpoles. 
    • You can rent SUPs and canoes and have a little explore around the lake. Very enjoyable.
    • NO CELL SERVICE. You just have to be present with one another. 
    • Important for our family- when we went in June, there were next to no mosquitos! My poor teenager usually gets eaten alive anywhere we go and he left unscathed! 
    • THE MOST IMPORTANT TIP::::: Even though we loved the location, we won't be returning simply because of the road to get there. Google maps wrecked us- I selected "quickest route" and had NO warnings that we would be driving up the narrowest gravel road with a 11% incline!!!! We have a diesel F350 but towing a big 5th wheel made it horrifying. Please be smarter than me and do your research. Once we started the decline it was mercifully paved but signage posted stated "2 road lane can be used as single lane" as it becomes the Lombard St for recreational vehicles! I saw some class A's that had boats towed behind them and I'm not entirely sure they didn't use witchcraft to make it work.

    Clean, nice RV Park

    We stayed here one night while on a road trip in Idaho. The park and facilities are extremely clean and have good amenities, like laundry and showers. Sunsets are great from this location! On the highway, but not much road noise. The WiFi and cell service was not the best. I would’ve rated it a five, but the office was closed the entire time and there were no instructions left for us with the code to the clubhouse and laundry, which we wanted to use. My calls to inquire with some questions weren’t returned.

    Great campground needing work

    One night on our way north. Great fishing spot. Stayed in C64 . I got to you all my orange blocks for our bottom step out of our trailer . Looks like erosion has happened over time there is about 4 or so feet Vertical drop from the parking pad to the fire ring . The park is closing C loop and B loop September 8th 2021 for paving my guess is some sites needing repairs will be addressed

    Winchester Lake State Park Campground

    Great

    We stayed in the campground with hookups.....Camas loop. Generally large, separated sites with picnic tables and firepits. Forest setting throughout. There are a few sites that aren't great, but the longer length ones are best. Facilities are clean. Lots of trails, picnic areas, and boat docks. Didn't fish, but lots of people were.


Guide to Grangeville

Cabins near Grangeville, Idaho offer access to the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest at elevations ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 feet. The region experiences distinct seasons with hot, dry summers and cold winters with significant snowfall. Cabin rentals in this area typically require reservations several months in advance, especially for summer weekends when temperatures average 75-85°F.

What to do

Fishing at reservoir lakes: Winchester Lake State Park Campground offers excellent fishing opportunities with multiple species available. "We caught: blue gill, trout, bass, crappie, perch, cat fish and had a small Tiger Muskie on the line but lost it," reports a visitor to Winchester Lake State Park Campground. The lake allows only electric motors, making it peaceful for anglers.

Kayaking on calm waters: Non-motorized watercraft are welcome at several cabin locations. "The lake is perfect for kayaking and fishing," notes a Winchester Lake visitor. For more adventurous paddling, Three Rivers Resort & Campground provides river access where "we launched the kayaks and enjoyed the water ourselves - paddled to the opposite shore and found a remote unoccupied camp."

Exploring historic sites: The Florence area near cabin rentals offers gold mining history exploration. Several hiking trails connect to abandoned mining sites with interpretive signs. "Near by attractions are Florence which is a well known location for gold mining in days past, nice place to hike and explore the area's history," mentions a visitor about the region.

What campers like

Clean, well-maintained facilities: Cabin renters consistently mention facility cleanliness as a highlight. At Bear Den RV Resort, "the park and facilities are extremely clean and have good amenities, like laundry and showers. Sunsets are great from this location!" The resort maintains cabins with basic amenities and highway access.

Forest settings with privacy: Many cabins in the Grangeville area feature wooded surroundings. "Most sites are wooded and private. The staff was very friendly and helpful," notes a camper at Winchester Lake. The tall pines provide natural cooling during hot summer days when temperatures can reach the high 90s.

River access: Waterfront cabins remain popular choices for visitors to the region. Salmon River Resort offers "nice resort 30/50 amp water and sewer. Nice grass area for tents. River access." The riverside setting provides opportunities for swimming, fishing, and relaxation during summer months.

What you should know

Limited cell service: Many cabin rentals in the Grangeville area have minimal or no cellular coverage. "There is no cell service here, so prepare for the trip ahead, print out your maps to the station," warns a visitor about more remote options. Some locations like Kamiah/Clearwater River KOA may offer WiFi, though connection quality varies.

Bathroom facilities vary significantly: Cabin options range from primitive to fully equipped. "Bathrooms are pit but are kept very clean!" notes one camper about more rustic options. Other locations provide modern shower facilities with hot water, though some operate on timer systems: "the standard, push the button every 30 seconds to have water flow in your shower is a little annoying."

Access challenges: Some cabin rentals require challenging drives on steep or gravel roads. A visitor to Freeman Creek warns about "driving up the narrowest gravel road with an 11% incline" and recommends researching routes carefully before arrival, especially with larger vehicles or trailers.

Tips for camping with families

Look for kid-friendly amenities: Cabin camping locations with playgrounds and swimming areas work best for families with young children. Freeman Creek Campground offers "sweet little nature trails were pretty and easy for smaller children to walk through" and "easy lake access is only in the park/play area." One family notes they "book a group camp site every year and have a camping reunion!"

Bring wildlife guides: The Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest region offers abundant wildlife viewing opportunities. "A lot of wildlife viewing too! If you are lucky you may see a black bear feeding on blackberries, deer are numerous, elk frequent the lake, and one of my favorites is to watch Osprey dive in the lake for fish," shares a repeat visitor.

Prepare for bugs seasonally: Insect activity varies by season and location. "When we went in June, there were next to no mosquitos! My poor teenager usually gets eaten alive anywhere we go and he left unscathed!" Bringing appropriate repellent remains important during peak summer months at lower elevations.

Tips from RVers

Check site access before booking: Mountain cabin and RV sites often feature challenging terrain. "We originally had a reservation for a view site with no hook ups, but upon arrival they had a hookup site(#104) available," notes a visitor to Freeman Creek. Request specific information about site grade, clearance, and turning radius when making reservations.

Supply availability: Most cabin rentals require bringing your own supplies. Three Rivers Resort includes "a small market [that] is well stocked with most of what you might have forgot to pack." Local towns like Grangeville, Kooskia, and Kamiah provide limited shopping options for additional supplies with restricted evening hours.

Consider seasonal access: Winter cabin rentals may require specialized vehicles or equipment. "I have been at this park in every month of the calendar, but only camped from April thru October," explains a frequent visitor to Seubert RV Park & Guesthouse, highlighting the importance of researching seasonal access restrictions when planning cabin stays during winter months.
