"The lake is perfect for kayaking and fishing. Only 45 minutes from Lewiston, ID, Winchester Lake State Park is becoming one of our favorites!"
"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."

"Excellent views and right on the edge of Clarkston. Super clean, friendly people, a pet area and water access"
GuideThis “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.
ScoutThe Kids loved this park, we just spent the day hanging out fishing and playing at the park when we went to Lewiston to Visit our daughter. Was perfect because it's on the Washington side so my husbands fishing license was valid. Was perfect mix of shade tree's and open space. We really loved it.
TravelerBeautiful secluded location. Very clean bathroom. I could make and receive phone calls but no internet service with Verizon
ScoutA very easy access campsite. Close to the town of Troy and simple setup. You can camp up by the reservoir parking lot, or further in, closer to the wooded area. There are bathrooms interspersed and great for fishing. Not many amenities, but a great, simple place.
LegendWe came upon this site after passing on the White Bird Recreation Site just north of here - it's so much better and we're so glad we came here. It's an established campground, with maybe 4 or 5 sites, all open, spread out, right on the river. There's a picnic table and fire pit for each site, and a porta potty. Verizon was roaming and AT.T. had great reception. Despite being right off the main road, it was very quiet and you couldn't hear or see traffic since you're lower down on the river. Easy access for big rigs. We stayed here two nights. Ranger came through to check on things, always love to see that.
Beautiful spot. Free! 14 day limit. No trash service, no water other than the river. The campground was nice and clean.
ScoutIt's a small campground near the tiny town of Kooskia. We stayed here to be close to the part of the South Fork of the Clearwater River which is known for it's Steelhead Run. There are some permanent residents here with some rundown trailers but they were all nice and waved hello. It is quiet and right on the river with the ability to walk down to the river though not from every site and it is a rocky bank. The owners are very very nice and helped us back in when we arrived after dark. There are pay showers (bring quarters) and clean flush toilets. The website wasn't working when we were looking it up but they do respond to phone calls and messages left. We will most likely stay here next year for the Steelhead Run and hopefully have better luck! There are some pull through sites as well as back in sites and a small tent area. It is close to the highway but if you are near the river the sound is almost completely drowned out.

At 18 dollars I was skeptical before l arrived. Getting everything for 9 dollars is unbelievable but true.
ScoutThis campground is gorgeous. The Dwarshak reservoir is a very beautiful place to camp in any of the campgrounds. This one, in particular, overlooks the reservoir perfectly. Make sure your brakes are good on your truck or vehicle because the roads can be steep.
ScoutGreat spot to camp out. Owls calling throughout the evening. Great cell service.
