    Beaver Dick Park Campground

    Nice campsite mostly used as a day use family area

    Decent quiet camp sites while we were visiting. Many day use folks visiting for fishing, kids playground or luncheon cookouts. Many of the hiking trails are currently flooded due to high water

    Great sites, disk golf! But trash?

    Disk golf! Excellent short course. Water access from a ramp about 400' from camping. One large group site. Some trails (most were underwater during our visit). Small kids playground. Only negative was all camp trash was overflowing in each can even though park was only 20% filled... maybe trash collections missed a week

    Quiet, Peaceful, and Beautiful

    I took my family her last minute on a Friday afternoon thinking there wouldn't be any spots open. To my surprise we got a spot. There is plenty of room between camp spots and it is very well kept. We loved it there. Everyone was very respectful and no ATVs or Dirt Bikes are allowed except for the camp hosts and so it was nice and quiet. It was already fully stocked with wood for us as well. Well worth the $20/night and we will be coming back for sure.

    Busy camping

    Neither RV dumps has water to help flush tank. Generally speaking going downhill from what it was a few years ago. Horses everywhere and they do not stay in riding areas. Loose youngsters on ATVs screaming around the park everywhere. Sad to see such a great resource abused and go to waste.

    Great little campground

    Easy access, well maintained campground. Perfect for our 14 foot trailer. No water or electric but we’re self contained. Playground areas, frisbee golf. Right on the river so some mosquitos but manageable. 10$ a night.

    Palisades Creek Campground

    Nice but I couldn’t leave fast enough

    I only stayed at the campground for the trails nearby. But the night I stayed it was loud and there’s very little privacy. The trails that I’d come for were very scenic but also packed by 8:30 AM. I should’ve picked a different area as I thought it would be peaceful and it wasn’t. I would not return for either campsite nor trails.

    Camping on the river

    Dirt pad campsite with fire ring. Fun place to stay the night then fish in the morning. A few trails at the back of the campsite.

    Beaver Dick Park Campground

    Great little site!

    It’s right along the snake river, while swimming isn’t encouraged you can wade in the water where the boats load. It has gorgeous views with a camp BBQ and small camp sites. It’s feels secluded but you are also near other sites so it still feels safe! It includes a playground and picnic areas that I’m sure would be great for families! I love this little park!

    I might be biased

    But Beaver Dick Park is the perfect place to camp if you are looking for a campground that feels safe (close to other campers) while still having your privacy (trees between most campsites). It’s also close to a river that you can float if you start just a little north of the camp sight. There is also a great little spot where the river slows at the park where you can sit on the dock, fish, and even play in the water. Great place to camp- especially with little kids because you are still close to civilization!

    Peaceful and Beautiful

    Great place to camp right by the river. Good fishing and my kids loved floating the river. Need to bring canopy or have awning for shade.

    Amazing!

    Nick is in charge of the campground, very nice guy and very straight forward (which is great). There are 8 spots total, 12 a night and 6 dollars for extra vehicles. No water, no dumping, no electricity. Right next to the creek, and lots of shady camp spots. Absolutely gorgeous and perfect for camping.

    Intimate, beautiful, great fish!

    This campground has a small number of lots, and when we were there in July most were filled by RVs. Only one had a noisy generator;) our spot was right next to the roaring Palisades Creek, and a short walk to restrooms. Only 15 bucks a night;)

    Hike-able, fish-able, LOVE-ABLE!

    There are many pay to park camp areas around here and also some free areas if you’re adventurous enough! Lots of land to explore and fishing is great!

    Relax in the trees or right next to the water

    on the way to the campground you will travel down dirt roads that are full of scenic views. when you get to the sites it is hard to choose if you want to be right next to the water where you can fish for trout or remain tucked in the woods. both are peaceful and leave society behind.

    Great Family Camp

    We enjoy taking our young family to this campground. It’s well manicured, and there is plenty of space. It’s easy to get to and has a fun, little prk for the kids. We go camping there almost every year.
