Other glamping options near Lenore include Dworshak State Park's primitive cabins, which provide a more rustic glamping experience along the scenic reservoir shoreline. While these cabins lack bathrooms, they offer an elevated camping experience with solid walls, real beds, and protection from the elements in a stunning waterfront location.

Fishing enthusiasts particularly enjoy the glamping accommodations at Winchester Lake, where the serene 103-acre lake is stocked with trout, bass, bluegill, and even tiger musky.

The park maintains clean facilities year-round, including showers and flush toilets near the glamping sites for added convenience.

    Premier RV Resort at Granite Lake

    Clean, well-run RV place in a small city

    This “RV resort” is within the city of Clarkston and a stone’s throw from a Costco, a WalMart and an Albertson’s. It’s highly manicured and very clean. Staff members are on top of every little thing, friendly and respectful. The waterfront sites overlook Granite Lake, a reservoir on the Snake River. There’s not a whole heck of a lot to do in Clarkston and environs, but it’s a super friendly city and the RV resort is pretty pleasant, featuring a dog park, lots of well-tended lawns, shared propane fire pits and grills and sparkling restrooms.

    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.

    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.

    Hells Gate State Park Campground

    Clean, convenient, near water

    We stayed in Birch Loop for 2 nights. This was our maiden voyage so we opted for something close to a city as we were still setting up our camper coming out of winter.

    Our spot was plenty long enough, but not as wide as I would have liked. There are two big trees on passenger side that prevent setting up a comfy patio. That said, the fire pit area is perfect size.

    The center of the loop is for groups, so noise is centralized. Other than that, good space between sites and all are pretty level and paved.

    The hiking trails are great with lots of options for easy hikes by the water or tougher ones up the mountain. Either way, you can’t go wrong. The noise on the river from jet boats was mild as it is only end of March.

    Great Verizon coverage at site and on trails.

    Boyer Park & Marina KOA

    Great campground with friendly staff

    We just stayed here for the first time. We were at Boyer Park & Marina, a KOA,  Sept. 1-5, 2024.  While the campground was full when we pulled in on Sunday, it was almost empty when we woke up Labor Day morning. Even when full, everything was pretty quiet. The beach and walking paths are very nice and close by no matter which spot you're in.  Just below the Lower Granite Dam, it's an easy three mile round trip walk on a paved Snake River Trail. I do not recommend making that journey when it's 83 degrees and getting warmer. UGH

    The store is great with many clothing options and more. Mike and Monica who run the place are so nice and very helpful. Apparently we really missed out by not taking advantage of the grill and ordering a Smash Burger, which will even be delivered to your campsite. 
    We will definitely be back.

    Riverfront camping

    Camping right on the Snake River with Lewis & Clark Discovery Center. Lots of sites, water restrooms, showers, and fire pits. No hookups.

    Pines RV Park

    Pricey but had a friendly enviroment.

    I’ve been in search of local winter camping spots. I’ve never paid so much for a tent site in my entire life. It’s important to note that even though it says it’s an RV Park there are tent spots offered here.

    I think the price is high just because it’s in touristy location.

    There were enough trees to set up our hammocks!

    The biggest thing I disliked about this site is that the 30 dollars they charges us was not enough. They will charge an additional 3 dollars per head and 5 dollars for an additional car.

    If you go in a group like we did, that really adds up. 🥵

    There was a playground on site but other than that it’s nothing special.

    The park manager was very social. I don’t mind but if you want privacy you may want to stay at a different location. My partner likes the privacy camping brings. We will never return, but if you have safety concerns with children, I can see this as being a bonus.

    Hells Gate State Park Campground

    Loud

    Overall, a nice state park campground, but a little too close to the city. The bathrooms were decent, with free showers. We arrived around 6pm and the weather was weird, light rain then hail, but it stopped after about an hour. We started to settle in and then a group of maybe 30 teenage boys with a handful of “leaders” arrived around dark taking up 4 spots near us. The kids were rowdy throwing firecrackers until midnight. The leaders did absolutely nothing to stop them and neither did the campground. Luckily they slept and then all took off early around 8am after morning prayers. In hindsight, nothing against the campground other than close proximity to each other and the city and the camp host didn’t break up the “fun”


Guide to Lenore

Dworshak State Park's primitive cabins and Winchester Lake's yurts provide alternative glamping options near Lenore, Idaho, situated at approximately 1,362 feet elevation. The Snake River region features a steppe climate with hot summers and cold winters. Fall temperatures typically range from 40-65°F with occasional early frost, making proper preparation essential for camping in this transitional season.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Freeman Creek at Dworshak State Park offers various fishing experiences throughout the season. "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," notes Cody B.

Wildlife viewing: The area supports diverse wildlife observation year-round. "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 visitor at Freeman Creek.

Hiking trails: Multiple trail systems accommodate different skill levels. At Fields Spring State Park, "The 2+ mile roundtrip hike to the Puffer Butte is a must as the three state view (WA, ID, OR) is sweeping and gorgeous," according to Lee D.

Water recreation: Non-motorized water activities provide peaceful alternatives to fishing. At Hells Gate State Park, a visitor notes, "Camping right on the Snake River with Lewis & Clark Discovery Center. Lots of sites, water restrooms, showers, and fire pits."

What campers like

Tranquil surroundings: Many glamping sites near Lenore feature peaceful settings away from urban noise. At Winchester Lake State Park, Nancy C. appreciates that "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."

Clean facilities: Well-maintained amenities enhance the glamping experience. At Winchester Lake State Park, visitors mention "The space between sites are not as generously spaced as with other 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."

Privacy options: Some sites offer more seclusion than others. "The tent sites are nice and there is A lot of privacy between tent site," comments Jeffrey A. about Fields Spring State Park.

Four-season access: Several parks accommodate winter activities. "I have been at this park in every month of the calendar, but only camped from April thru October," notes a visitor at Freeman Creek, while another mentions that Winchester Lake is "very enjoyable even frozen."

What you should know

Weather preparation: Temperature fluctuations can be significant. At Premier RV Resort, a visitor mentions "The winds come through quite a bit which helps with the heat but make sure everything is secured down."

Connectivity limitations: Cell service varies widely between locations. Nancy C. notes about Winchester Lake, "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."

Reservation timing: Popular sites fill quickly during peak seasons. "We dreaded dealing with crowds over the 4th of July weekend and back in March, this was one of the few state parks where I could get reservations in this area," shares a Fields Spring visitor.

Site selection considerations: Request specific sites when possible. At Boyer Park & Marina, "When you reserve online they don't allow you to pick your site and so you get what you get. Tip- call after booking online to request a site."

Tips for camping with families

Group camping options: Some locations accommodate larger family gatherings. At Chief Timothy Park, "We went for a family reunion. We had a good time. It was very crowded. If you don't mind campsites that are open and no tree blocking and your neighbors are right next to you. However we did have access to water from our campsite. That is always a bonus."

Educational opportunities: Some parks offer learning experiences for children. A visitor at Boyer Park mentions it's "Just below the Lower Granite Dam, it's an easy three mile round trip walk on a paved Snake River Trail."

Safety considerations: Family-friendly sites often prioritize security. At Pines RV Park, "Robin and Dennis are extremely nice! They will go out of their way to make sure you are happy and safe!"

Tips from RVers

Access challenges: Some routes present difficulties for larger rigs. Agnes B. warns about Freeman Creek, "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."

Hook-up availability: Services vary between parks. One Winchester Lake visitor shared their experience: "We pulled our 40ft RV up here and had a great time! Not full hookups but lots of fishing... they did have electricity and water hookups just no dump so we showered and used the bathroom facilities which were very well kept!"

Site dimensions: Check space requirements before booking. "Generally large, separated sites with picnic tables and firepits," notes Rich J. about Winchester Lake's Camas loop.
