Copper Creek campground

This remote campground has a few picnic tables next to the reservoir and two toilets. There’s not much shade, so summer will be hot.

Incredible views and unbeatable water access

Found this campsite on a lark while exploring the Hells Canyon area for a place to stay for a few days. There are a few dedicated sites that appear to be tent-only, as well as some areas for dispersed camping. Great views down the Snake River and of the canyon walls, two vault toilets, and a nice breeze made this an excellent two-day stay!
