    Spring Recreation Site

    Great off grid camping spot

    Water and trash available. Boat and fishing access. Fish cleaning station. Not great for dog walking. Great views and climate in April & October. Gets very hot during the summer. Nice spot!

    Clean, convenient and welcoming

    First, your hosts - just wonderful people engaged in making your stay comfortable and enjoyable.  Their kindness and consideration are enough reason to return.  Nice setting adjacent to the Payette River adds to the aesthetic with spots along the shore to drop a line and try your luck.  It is a smaller park and the maintenance is spectacular.  Check your Google maps for access alternatives or call host.  He'll guide you in.

    Sage Bluff Campground — Lake Cascade State Park

    Great overnight spot

    I was stopping by on my way to Yellowstone. Got late at night so I did not get to enjoy the student but I saw the sunrise and it was awesome! Good spot, had service for the night and it was quiet

    Tripod Reservoir

    Not a camping spot

    The road that the coordinates lead us to was very narrow and rough and ended at a gate just 300 feet from the lake. Fortunately there was a turn around at the gate otherwise we would have been screwed

    Cow Hollow Park

    Looks like a ghost camping spot

    The scenery is gorgeous, but getting a hold of the camp host, good luck. I tried two different numbers and nothing. We even sat around for an hour just waiting for someone. There were like 4 or 5 rv's, but not a single person in site. It has a huge grass area, that when you walk through it you can tell it was a field at one point. There are also good size kind of deep whole all through the grass. There is also two softball fields that are pretty small. It also has a play ground by each field. A bunch of picnic tables. I seen two brick like BBQ station, a horse shoe set up, one fire pit spot. It does have a bathroom, men's acme women's. When you walk in it seems to be decent. The first stall door does not latch closed, the second stall doors but you have to kind of mess with it a little bit. Then you have the shower stall. It's not very wide at all. Pretty dark so it could use better lighting. The first Sexton of it has a wooden table that you can set your stuff down on. After you wipe off all of the spider webs. Then the shower part is a small square that has a curtain. It you ever decide to use the show make sure to wear sandles. Who knows what's bn on the floor. I know that concrete can't rust, but it looks really brown and black. The water pressure isn't all that great. The website says that it's $5 a night, but when you get there it says way different. So it is misleading. It is pretty quite until the farmers and semi drivers are out driving around and working. It says they are supposed to have wifi, not sure about that.
