One of the least populated states in America, Idaho is the third state that makes up the Pacific Northwest—besides Oregon and Washington. This is a large and wild state, spanning two time zones and stretching from the Canadian border all the way south to Utah and Nevada. Its vast tracts of old-growth forests, various subranges of the Rocky Mountains and Hells Canyon, America’s deepest canyon, make camping in Idaho an essential thing to do during any visit.


Idaho’s wide variety in landscapes and biotopes, from arid plains to towering mountains, from pristine forests to river canyons, attract an equally varied array of visitors. Fishermen are drawn to the state’s abundant and exceptional fish species. It’s the West’s only inland state where you can catch blue-ribbon trout as well as king salmon and steelhead. Mountain bikers, rock climbers, and boaters find delight camping in Idaho’s wildernesses.


Hiking and camping in Idaho is, however, arguably the state’s most popular outdoor pursuit. And it’s available all across the state. A particularly great destination is the Boise National Forest, the location of the awesome Red Mountain Trail. Other fantastic places to go backpacking and camping in Idaho include Craters of the Moon National Monument, the remarkable Bruneau Dunes State Park and iconic Yellowstone National Park, a sliver of which lies in the state’s southeastern corner.


In the middle of southern Idaho lies Shoshone Falls, a series of huge cascades on the Snake River sometimes referred to as the “Niagara of the West”. The Snake River meanders its way further west, making up the northern part of the Oregon and Idaho border, and flows through massive Hells Canyon. Ten miles wide and almost 8,000 feet deep, this is the deepest river canyon in North America, an absolutely natural gem to explore when camping in Idaho.

Owyhee River - Below Dam - Owyhee Dam Park

Lake Owyhee is Oregon’s longest reservoir, spanning more than 52 miles within the spectacular Owyhee Canyon. Formed by the Owyhee River before being dammed in the 1930s, the canyon showcases a colorful display of volcanic rock layers and formations. Despite its extraordinary length, Lake Owyhee is relatively shallow, with an average depth of only 81 feet. This makes it a favorite fishing destination for warm water catches, such as largemouth bass, and black and white crappie. Other common catches include catfish, yellow perch and rainbow trout. The lake is located in remote, eastern Oregon, near the Idaho border, and can only be reached via a long, steep, narrow road. Yet, what this location lacks in services and amenities (including cellular service) more than makes up for with its dramatic desert setting and scenic landscape.   

Owyhee State Park, situated on the east shore of Lake Owyhee, and approximately 45 miles south of Ontario, offers two campgrounds on opposite sides of a small bay. McCormack Campground, on the north side, has 29 electric sites and 9 rustic tent sites. These sites are partially shaded, and the campground has water, flush restrooms and showers; a dump station is located near the entrance. Indian Creek Campground, on the south side, has 22 electric sites and 2 cabins. These sites are mostly in the open, and the campground has water and vault toilets. Both campgrounds have ADA accessible sites, and all sites are equipped with picnic tables and fire pits. Ice and firewood are available for purchase. Dogs are welcome, but must remain leashed. Seasonal reservations are available, with some first-come, first-serve availability. Campsite rates are $17–$24/night; cabins are $43–$53/night. 

Fishing, boating and water recreation are the main attractions at Lake Owyhee—and it’s largely the only way to see and explore the scenic canyon beyond the campground area. Boat ramps are located near the Indian Creek Campground and Gordon Gulch Day-use Area. Boat fuel and a fish cleaning station are available near the Indian Creek ramp. Kayak and SUP rentals are also available for paddling around the bay and lake nearby. Be sure to check out the “Glory Hole,” near the dam. This unique spillway diverts excess lakewater to the river, and looks like a 60-foot bathtub drain. Besides on-the-water activities, a couple of short hiking trails explore the park area. These are ideal for watching for some of the local wildlife, which includes golden eagles, pronghorns, coyotes and wild horses. Beware of rattlesnakes and mountain lions.
