Snake River Vista Recreation Site

Beautiful spot, with river access. Need a vehicle with higher clearance to access spots closer to the river. Handful of spots available. This spot is closer to the hwy so you can hear some road noise. No amenities other than stone ringed fire pits.

Big ruts. Definitely need 4x4. Watch for nails and screws. Puck up after yourself.

Great spot. The first two or three spots are just about accessible with a two-wheel drive, but you need a slightly higher wheelbase due to the deep channels. If you want to go all the way down to the Snake River, you definitely need a four-wheel drive. Great view of the river. Pelicans included. We had T-Mobile internet.

Beautiful spot 4 x 4 recommended for most spots. There were man-made fire rings. Totally pack and pack out no toilet in the area. The spot was beautiful. We camped along the river and found amazing sites after we were leaving that we’re very high up if you like to disperse camp and you want to be along a river, highly recommend

Definitely a 4x4 or high clearance vehicle only now. It’s very rutted and low clearance would drag badly. We loved it though. Nice and quiet and amazing views

Great location just a few minutes off the highway with multiple sites. Offers great views of the river and several prebuilt fire rings around the area as well. 4 x 4 recommended to get down to some of the lower spots, but there’s sites up top as well that would be suitable for 2-Wheel drive vehicles. Bring bug spray if you visit in the hotter months

Such easy access off 86, so it’s the perfect pull out for a road trip. We were traveling from Colorado to Oregon and found this spot late in the evening of our 2nd day and couldn’t have been happier. We rolled in amongst the thunderstorms, which blew over just in time for a beautiful sunset. There was a little noise from the road, but once we crawled in the tent it was hard to distinguish the traffic noise from that of the river.

Very clean, lots of spots, 10 out of 10 would stay here again.

Roads are rough but the area is pretty. Next to the river and multiple spots available.

Camped here on Sunday, we were the only ones there. Beautiful and scenic room for multiple sites, no amenities.

The road down to it was silt. We were afraid we wouldn't make it back out. It was like an old goat trail. The camp spots were not near the water and people burned garbage on them. I really don't recommend this spot. There were wood pallets and an old headboard people were trying to burn.

What an amazing find! This camp site had 4-5 sites, some on the hill others near the water. There was even a little beach that could be see from the road near the river. We found the perfect shady spot with fire pits built and the sound of the river in the background. Only 1 other person was there overnight. It was quiet and relaxing!

This site is right above the snake River so you can hear the water, wonderful way to fall asleep! You are in the High Desert of Idaho so this site is amongst sagebrush but has good shade trees also. When I was there I could start a tent but this ground does tend to get pretty hard during dry season so staking may be a bit more difficult.

There are actually 2 sites you can pitch a tent or park a vehicle. There is also a firepit. I got really good cell reception. There are fun trails to explore with beautiful scenery. This would also be a great spot if you like to pole fish. You can walk to the river and cast in! This spot os about 8 miles to the American Falls Dam where you can kayak, SUP, fish, and picnic

The directions were spot on. I recommend a vehicle with relatively high clearance. It os closer to the interstate than you would expect so you can hear vehicles but was super quiet at night
