Lake Owyhee State Park is a remote oasis on the eastern edge of Oregon that offers camping and boating on the shore of a scenic desert canyon reservoir. The park contains two campgrounds along Owyhee Reservoir, a 53-mile-long lake that fills a narrow, deep canyon brimming with colorful volcanic rock formations.

The cabin we reserved for two nights was such a disappointment, becasue of the time we arrived we forced ourselves to stay one night. The floors were not clean and sleeping on the bed provided was like sleeping on a pie tin. it crinkled and cracked everytinme you moved. The cabin door you could not lock and the bathroom was unbelievably dirty. The shower was more like a drip.
TravelerThis summer we tried Rivers Edge Rv Park for the first time and had a great experience. On our drive up to Pacific Northwest in early August we did tent camping here and in late September we tried the cabins along the river. Wonderful quiet location, good hosts and amazing sunsets on the Snake River. If you stay in the cabins, just a note that this is a place where you need to bring your own bedding and kitchen items, however there is a hot plate and sink, plus a microwave. The ladder steps up to the bedroom was an adventure in itself😛 No bathrooms in the cabin, but there is a community bathroom and shower. One star off because the bathroom really does need to be updated. Shower was a bit grungy. But for everything great about this place, I know we will be back!
Scout
Lakes, dunes, the beautiful night sky, and wildlife galore! We stayed in a camper cabin and it was cozy and fun! Will definitely be back. The staff was also very knowledgeable and helpful.
Legend
This RV Camping Site is AWESOME! They do allow tent camping and have cabins. They have full hookups for RV's as well. There is a lower rate for "back-ins" to the Boise River Greenbelt. They also have a higher rate for Pull Through Sites for RVs. There is so much to do in the area. Biking, hiking, walking along the Boise River. There is also some great fishing on the Boise River. This location is centered for city goers, snow skiers, white water rafters and anglers. We visited some nice restaurants within a short drive of the campgrounds. We rode our bikes along the trails, upstream and downstream. The campgrounds also rent bikes for those that don't have their own :-) You will not be disappointed with this campground if you want to get to know Boise, Idaho.
ScoutBest little Campgound in the area! Sits right on the Snake River, large grassy area with lots of shade, Cabins, tent sites, limited full hookups, electric, covered picnic tables, small boat dock, 2 horseshoe pits excellent catfishing, supplied fire rings (you can buy wood there), they just added a TeePee! The host, Turk, and his wife, Meghan, are absolutely, by far the best camp hosts we've ever dealt with. Dogs are allowed. BEST SUNSETS EVER!
GuidePretty view of the river. Campground looks like a farm storage area overall with the basketball court covered by a dog kennel, and junk lying about everywhere. Swim area is pretty mucky and shallow. Swim dock is barely in the water. There was a wasp nest in the electric hookup for our site and no one around to tell. In fact, we never saw anyone affiliated with the campground that we could tell. Cabins seemed super cute from what we could see. It has a lot of potential but needs some TLC. Bathrooms were clean and free showers that were too.
ScoutRented a cabin in April/May as it was expected to be rainy & chilly! Surprisingly, the weather warmed up a bit so it was just windy & chilly at night.
The only bad thing was (and it's not the park's fault) that Mountain Home AFB decided to do JET maneuvers at 1, 2, and 3 AM , causing a night's sleep to be non-existent!
Will definately be back during warmer weather for TENT camping, hopefully on a weekend so the observatory will be open! Currently, it's only open on Friday & Saturday! I was there earlier in the week!
ScoutTraveling through Idaho and made this reservation online just an hour before arrival. Very simple to reserve.
We have a 38' 5th wheel pulled with a dually pickup. It was a tight fit, but after we were parked, it was awesome. We were in space #5. After unhooking, we did park the pickup across the lane in space they have for extra vehicles. Hook ups were simple. Although the sewer pipe at our site was a little high, so we had to really use risers under our drain pipe to get it to that level. Other sites seemed ground level.
When we left the next morning, we did have to pull out the "entrance" lane, as the angle of the space and smaller area, we couldn't turn sharp enough for the exit lane.
We could watch the sunset over the Snake River from out campsite. No bugs and lots of shade. Quiet campground.......except the duck hunters on other properties.
We didn't use the restrooms, etc. there.
They have very nice metal fire pits and a decent picnic table at each site. If you needed to stay in a cabin, they looked very nice. The larger one with the bathroom, was a beautiful site.
The price was great, especially for full hookups. I wish we could have stayed more than one night.
We would definitely stay there again.
Traveler
There is no cell phone reception, nada, none.
For us, this makes it a great place to get away for the weekend and unplug from everything.
The lake is great for those with watercraft, but make sure you acquire an invasive species permit (even non-motorized equipment).
Campsites are managed by Oregon State Parks, and you will see a ranger drive through a few times in the evenings.
I have yet to see a campground host on duty.
LegendWe followed our RV GPS and it showed the campground (CG) as being at the dam, but we had about 5 miles more to go. There were reviews that the road to the CG areas was challenging. We had called the ranger station and asked if we could get a 39’ 5th wheel up the road and had asked on our FB owners group, both said yes just take it slow. The “fun” starts at the dam with the most challenging portion being after the turn-off for the first CG, McCormack CG, which has sites with 30 AMP and water. We added a video to this review showing the drive to Indian Creek CG about a mile further up the road. We are seasoned 5th wheelers and went slow with no problem. While we were there a 42’ 5th wheel came in with no problem as well. If you decide to bring a big rig especially the first time, suggest arriving/departing on a non weekend day to try and avoid meeting up with a boater on the single lane road. The lake gets a lot of daily boat activity with most boaters in by 9:00 AM and out around 3:00 PM. When you enter the CG you are on the first level where the camp host resides. There are info boards on which one had the name of people coming in with reservations, but there was no formal check in. There was no problem getting to back-in site 62 with water and 50/30 AMP. Sites 62-67 are on the upper 3rd level. Water pressure was about 40 psi and no issues with the 50 AMP. There is no cell phone service here and we knew that coming in. You are about an hour away from amenities so plan accordingly. Near the dam, there’s a small hut that rents kayaks etc. and states WiFi is available, but we didn’t try it. We did set up our satellite and as there are no shade trees on the 3rd level there was a clear shot to the southern sky. The 2nd level has some trees plus two cute little cabins, and more trees on the 1st level. There are several vaulted restrooms in the CG and at the boat ramp. Sites in both CGs vary in size but seemed consistent with website size descriptions. The dump station is back up the road at the McCormack CG along with the shower houses. Have to say the drive was well worth the stunning mountain and lake views. We had mule deer and a covey of quail visit us mornings and evenings. Even in mid August, we pretty much had the CG to ourselves, Mon- Thurs.
LegendBruneau Dunes State Park is a hidden gem in Idaho just 20 min off I-84 in Idaho not far from Boise. There is a small field of sand dunes in the park and the largest dune is the largest active dune structure in NorthAmerica. A couple of lakes and ponds are also found at the base of the dunes. There are 3 campgrounds in the park, one is an equestrian one. Only the outhouses are open in the winter and water and showers are turned off in winter but electrical hook ups are still available. Great views of the sand dunes from the campgrounds as well. Marginal cell reception with Verizon. Signal too weak for AT&T.
Ranger
This campground is a little oasis on the Idaho-Oregon border close to I84. The owners take gre@t pride in maintaining this site. We stopped for a night while traveling through. We would definitely stay here again.
ScoutWe arrived late, but it was no problem. Everything was great - quiet, but near the highway. Showers and bathrooms were super clean. We walked to the little cafe down the street and had a nice country breakfast before going on our way to Idaho.
ScoutIf you don't want to leave Idaho but you want to feel like you're in the dessert, this is an awesome place to camp! We stayed here during Boise Questival and found that it was close, conveneient, and reasonable pricing! Happy camping!
GuideLike most (it seems) campgrounds, this place is badly in need of maintenance. When it rains, the "roads" (term used loosely) are mud puddles. Your site is too, unfortunately. Most of the park is long-term scum campers, junk all over the sites, loud trucks, loud music.
To top it off, many of these hobos take pleasure in putting dog food bowls of duck food out, so you can count on duck crap all over the place, on your rig, on your vehicle. The constant quacking makes you think you're on an island in the river. It will drive your dog nuts too.
The Greenbelt:
Pretty, but VERY overcrowded. If you're looking for some peace walking by the river, forget it. Spandex wearing cycle maggots, too self-important to even bother to say "on your left" or ring a bell, come ripping up behind you, inches away, as if they despise you "being in the way". Most are wearing mirror shades so they don't have to smile at anyone.
All in all, there are much better places to spend time in Idaho. Try Idaho Falls, or Twin Falls. Stanley and Coeur d'Alene are both gorgeous. Boise is basically California, including the the corresponding batch of jerks just like you find in California.
Originally planned to stay here three months, left after a few weeks. Obviously, won't be returning.
LegendMy first time in Idaho and talk about diversity and beauty. Bruneau Dunes is just another example of the variety of experiences to be had within this state! Windy, sunny and sandy best describes the whole park. The sand was a little toasty so I kept the dogs mostly in the shade. Sliding down the dunes is pretty cool. The pond/lake was low and mucky when we were there and I don’t know if fishing would be an option. The campground is adequate and well maintained. The picnic shelters help some with the sun and wind. Bring good anchors for anything you want to set up. The staff was nice and informative. Definitely worth a look see just cause it’s cool.
LegendSenior discount, Dark Skies, Observatory, Tallest Dune in N.A., definitely worth a night or two.
Our son was stationed at Mountain Home AFB and deployed in the Iraqi war, Enduring Freedom. We did not have the chance to visit as a result. While in Idaho, we swung by the base and then headed to Bruneau Dunes SP at his recommendation. It was not what we expected. I won’t lie. It’s a desert folks … well, more accurate, high plains. But what a cool place. The sites are basic & not a lot of shade to be found. But the bathhouse is emaculate. Great showers to wash off the sand from climbing the dunes. Even if you aren’t staying at the campground, you can shower for $3. If you are interested in astronomy or astronomy photography, this is a great place. The observatory wasn’t open the day we were there. I didn’t get meet the host, but heard great things. The dump station is large. AT&T service, spotty.
TravelerWe parked right beside the river, and it was absolutely gorgeous. However, I don't recommend taking a car on this road. It's definitely an ATV road as it's very rough.
Traveler
The owner told me their family found this hot springs while they were on the Oregon trail! Loved this information. The owners are welcoming and the whole place feels friendly. I was able to rest well between two friendly trees. The pool is clean and healing.
Traveler😉👍
GuideGPS was wrong. I ended up on the wrong side of the river. Google was looking for a school. Finally found the location by moving the map around. It looked worn out and they where not open for camping. Saved me some money
GuideGreat stop midway between Boise and Salt Lake. Campgrounds were really comfortable (and green). The springs/pool was surprisingly refreshing even tho 94 degrees on a hot day in July. Fun place, little historical landmark describing the Givens' trek westward on a covered wagon. If you are fussy about clean bathrooms, however, this may not he the place for you.
Fyi the pool/campground does not open until noon- can call ahead on their site for reservation. Pool open until 9- extra charge to swim if more than two campers. Well worth it :)
ScoutHad a great stay at givens, it was not very busy and made for a great quiet campsite. We also enjoyed swimming in the hot spring. Everyone was super friendly too. We will be back in the future !
GuideStopped in last minute, as usual. Really grateful to stay here. It’s by the road, it’s super outdated walking around the property there is trash everywhere it’s definitely Past its heyday it be great if someone could pump some money into this and a little bit of TLC. I dry camp it was 10 bucks and they have a really good Wi-Fi! I was here on the weekend it was crowded and I did not feel comfortable indoors during a pandemic.
ScoutThis place has great potential, but just isn’t quite there. The indoor pool is great. It’s as warm as a bathtub, but still cool enough that you don’t overheat in 15 minutes. The facilities are VERY outdated, but still functional. The only water available comes from the hot spring, so you have to take cold water to mix it, or wait for it to cool before drinking. With some updates, this could be a high quality place.
Traveler
Very clean. Under new management, enthusiastic couple. Nice green lawns, large sites, easy for large RVs to pull through, no need to unhook.
ScoutI grew up in this little tiny town at RV Park has come along ways not familiar with the owners or the new ones but I have stayed there many times growing up. It’s like a little slice of heaven.
