"It was a welcome dose of green after a long day of brown along the interstate through Idaho and western Oregon. The cabin was rustic, the shower house was in good repair with nice hot showers."
"When we arrived after dark the 200 ft path to our cabin was cleared and we could easily drag our items stacked on a tarp to our cabin."
"Amazing golf course, super friendly staff, great clean pool! Breakfast at the course is awesome, within walking distance and great bang for the buck."
"Golf, museum, movies, walking trails, nature and special events! This week was the annual July Pow Wow! Clean pool and hot tub. Showers and bathrooms very clean and a laundry room, too!"
"First off - you will need a higher clearance vehicle to reach this campground, and signage may be limited so make sure you know your step by step directions beforehand."
$30 - $110 / night
"Nice fire pits but you can't have fires. Showere were decent. They need to be updated. Lots of green grass and lots of shade. All in all not bad. We will be back. Hopefully with less spiders."

"General: 41 RV sites with water and electric plus 11 tent sites in a grassy common area.
Site Quality: Reasonable separation between the sites."

"We camped the first week of June, so days were warm and it got cool enough at night to sit close the campfire."
"It's a cool spot and the drive there is beautiful. It's the only campground in the general area meaning it's the only bathroom nearby."
"It’s direct access onto the road from the highway exit. It’s a rough road about 1.2 miles, that’s bumpy and has lots of pot holes. Snow coverage on the road was minimal, max 2”."
"Arrived around 5pm on a Saturday in October and 3 spots were available - the others filled up after me. Quiet and beautiful while being close to the highway."
"It’s $8/night, no host on site, no reservations, self pay at the board. Really peaceful and quiet, very beautiful. "
"Quiet and away from others."
GuideThe campground has only has 5 sites, but we were the only campers. We camped the first week of June, so days were warm and it got cool enough at night to sit close the campfire. There are plenty of logging trails to hike within walking distance, and more a short drive away. The drive to Midway is beautiful, worth it even if you don't plan to stay overnight. There is one very clean vault toilet on site. No water, so bring your own.
GuideWe’ve always enjoyed this area my entire life. First time here RVing. Amazing golf course, super friendly staff, great clean pool! Breakfast at the course is awesome, within walking distance and great bang for the buck. Did not visit casino, but shuttle is readily available.
RangerWe stopped for a night in a rustic camping cabin at Emigrant Springs in July of 2015. It was a welcome dose of green after a long day of brown along the interstate through Idaho and western Oregon. The cabin was rustic, the shower house was in good repair with nice hot showers. There seemed to be good space and shade around the sites offering some privacy. Great spot! Take the time to stop in Meacham on the West side of I-84 tomstop at The Oregon Trail Cafe - literally the ONLY store in this teeny town. Wonderful hospitality, the local ‘scoop’ and great breakfast.
GuideCool quiet place. It’s plowed in the winter. There wasn’t much snow here on January 5-6th, 2025. It’s direct access onto the road from the highway exit. It’s a rough road about 1.2 miles, that’s bumpy and has lots of pot holes. Snow coverage on the road was minimal, max 2”. The actual camp area is concrete platforms with a picnic table and fire pit in a roundabout around the vault restroom.
GuideAug. 28th-30th is space #24. Lots of very large spiders everywhere. Mosquitoes were super bad. Nice fire pits but you can't have fires. Showere were decent. They need to be updated. Lots of green grass and lots of shade. All in all not bad. We will be back. Hopefully with less spiders.
RangerTerrible tent camping experience. This campground is TOO close to the highway and too noisy even with ear plugs or music. We could barely sleep nor have a conversation while sitting across each other for breakfast. I would advice to only stay here if you have an RV camper. The bathrooms were very clean, great trails and the interpretive center was very educational. No complaints there.
RangerWe spend a night there in July on our way to Boulder Colorado. The campground is quite nice and bathrooms were clean and providing all needed functionality. Large and tall trees provided a very welcome shade during the heatwave we were going through. The only issue was that, we were tent camping and being close to the highway it was quite noisy.
GuideWe stayed at a cabin toward the end of the park. The cabins are great and super comfortable and the bathrooms are clean. Saw park staff cleaning and taking out the trash frequently. It is about 10 feet from the highway so loud all day/night. Interesting history but the springs themselves have mostly been paved over by 84. Hiking trails a bit confusing and mostly gas line right of ways. Would recommend if you need a comfortable place to stay on a road trip but not exactly a "camping" getaway.
LegendAlong Tucannon Rd there are several free state campgrounds, and right where the road turns to dirt there is this USFS campground. It’s $8/night, no host on site, no reservations, self pay at the board. Really peaceful and quiet, very beautiful.
At the end of the campground is an Environmental Learning Center/ kids camp, so you may get some traffic from that. There’s also a little hiking trail that was overgrown and unmaintained when we were there, it was really beautiful though. Pit toilets here, no water and no trash, no amenities. Zero cell reception in this entire area, pretty much all the way until hwy 12.
The sites here at this campground all have different configurations, most didn’t look level, but there were a bunch that would have fit our 26ft class c. Sites 15 & 16 are in one huge area off by themselves (together), so a big group would fit here well (2 car limit per site, 8 people limit per site), so 4 cars and 16 people for the large lot with 15 & 16.
There’s a nice creek running through here, so the sound was nice and soothing.
When looking at directions to get here, heads up that the roads that connect Tucannon Rd to Hwy 12 going east are not suitable for big rigs, so you’ll have to drive west all the way to Hwy 12 then to Delaney and then take 12 east from there.
