Easy access off of I-84, mostly pull through full hookup sites, nicely landscaped with beautiful views! It has a small fenced-in dog park, pool and spa.
Nice campground, clean bathrooms and showers.Friendly people beautiful views. Website for reservations was difficult. You seem to have some glitches
We have stayed many times and loved it. But now the place had about seven campers. Most sites had reserved stickers on them . The few remaining had signs say check on line. Our cellular service was too weak to check on line sadly. All the best riverfront sites over by the huts said reserved which I believe translates to out of service. There's normally electricity, water and a picnic table at these sites. A fire swept by the boundary of the park and partly through it to the river.
We car camped in this small campground along Hurricane Creek after getting rained out on a backpacking trip up to Eagle Cap. There are 13 sites, 3 of which are handicap accessible. There are several vault toilets and they were clean and not smelly. Some of the sites are small and close to the road. Sites 12 and 13 at the end of the road have a lot of trees and good tent areas. Nice large picnic tables and fire pits. Only a 5 mile trip into Joseph. Deer wandered through the campground and there are chipmunks.
This review is based on an overnight or short stay versus destination campground (CG). Our GPS took us right into this CG. Check-in was easy and we headed to pull through site 118 with FHUs. The pad was plenty long enough for our 40’ 5th wheel and our F450. The utilities were in the middle of the pad, which made it nice for our one-night stay. As the water pressure here is around 100 psi, you need to use a reducer. Sites are close to one another but you still have a grass yard with some separation. We stayed here back in 2019 and not much had changed. They added a small fenced dog area inside the CG. They still have the field behind the park where you go out a gate into a small industrial area. There’s a poop bag dispenser and trashcan. Happily, people were picking up after their dogs. There were a mix of overnighters to long-stay residents and the CG did not have trashy sites. We could not get the CG Wifi to connect, but we did have 2 bars on Verizon. The CG has cable but we did not use it as we were able to stream on our Verizon MiFi. There are a lot of mature trees so satellite could be iffy depending on your site. They have a nice little store with sundry and gift items. Across the street from the office/store is a nice laundry facility. We again enjoyed our time here.
We planned to stop here on a let of our trip and found the park closed. Their website explains that there is an issue with the water system. Check their website before heading out there.
I like this campground, it's clean, quiet and peaceful though close to the freeway. Shower and restrooms are clean. Close to the water as well.
Very pretty and open for camping, but without services, when I visited in April. There is a sweet hike that starts right at the bridge. It's right on the road, which could be busy in the summer. Not much for Verizon cell signal.
We've seen this campground from afar while traveling on I-84 through Oregon. Decided to make it our first stopover on our fall road trip.
Peaceful campground on the Snake River and quiet in late September, mid-week. Worked well for us. Water & Electric allowed us to travel light our first day. We'd stay again.
Clean and quiet campground right on Snake River.
I'm glad this camp ground was open, only 4 other Camper here at this time, no water but that was no problem
Very nice park and sites are pretty well spaced. But from the start walking my dog around the road way loop he couldn't walk more than a few steps before getting another goat head sticker in his paw. I regularly pulled 20 or more out of my shoes
I went to book this for a weekend for a family trip in the summer.. They do not have any tent spots. She was OK with our motorhome and one tent but the minute I said we had two kids and two small tents. She immediately informed me that she would not be renting to us. 
tons of beautiful campsites right next to a LOUD rushing creek. plenty of clean bathrooms as well. it seemed to me that this area does get a lot of rain, so just a heads up for that. came in a little Prius & had no issue getting to the perfect campsite. no water hookups, so just remember to bring your own :)
Sites are all fairly close together with not a lot of privacy. The lake is beautiful, but expect noise from boats. The vault toilets were clean.
Ashley here with The Dyrt! Kathleen and Grady are awesome hosts and look forward to meeting you. This property is peaceful and expansive. Cozy up in your Montana Wall Tent that offers a wood-burning stove, two burner propane cook stove, and pillow top queen sized mattress. This 30 acre wonderland is your playground. Book them today and leave a review here.
Close to the hwy (which does mean some noise), but very handy if you just need a place to pull in. The staff were very friendly. The sites were situated well. The lake however was very low, so not much to see there. The views around the park were nice.
Great sites especially in fall with aspen groves. Dusty road but all gravel- drove in with my little Nissan Sentra just fine. Water and pit toilets, access to fishing, canoe, swimming altho a little muddy at times. Wildflowers and access to blm land.
My only complaint is that you can’t reserve tent sites in advance. Otherwise it is quiet and has some good places to stretch your legs. On the snake River which is nice.
Since we are car camping road noise can be an issue but not here. Very quiet. Nice area to walk in. Fishing and boat launch available. There are several areas so people are spread out
What a gem! Next to the Little Salmon River, stand on the bank and watch and hear the River rush by. Lush green grass and picnic tables. Look up to the canyon myna/hill tops all green. Gentle breeze blowing through. I wish I could stay a week but must push on if I am to explore America via the backroads. Don't miss this gem. $35/night!

Check out the link to a video of our camping trip to Fish Lake Campground.
This is my favorite place to camp. Beautiful views, outstanding action packed trout fishing. Far away from anything. Nice restrooms and natural spring is plumbed in to the campground. Best water I have ever tasted. This place is awesome, you won’t be disappointed.
The store is adorable and when I called to find out if they had a spot, I spoke with the nicest lady, so we stayed even though the park is a mobile home park near the entrance and we couldn't see any RVs or camping until after we registered. Our spot was a pull through with nice wide roads in the park to pull right in without any adjustments.. The spots are very narrow though, so there isn't much room for sitting outdoors. I am laughing about the reviews that say you can't hear the highway, which is true, and that would be a plus if the train didn't go by every hour or so. How did they miss that? Overall, its clean and feels safe and I would recommend it to anyone passing through. I wouldn't say its a place yo take the family for a week, but its a nice spot to get some rest.
Large campground in a grassy area with scattered trees. Fairly open with sites close together, but some sites have hedges in between. The campground was about half filled during our weekday stop.
Overall a good park to stay. It was pretty dry when we went. Not a whole lot to do around there at this time of year but good stopping place for a nite or two during the summer months. The sites in "B-Loop" are kinda tight for lg. rigs if "backing in"... We have a 40' 5th wheel... Double ck. your site before booking... Bushes are nice but can hinder backing in... Scratched the side of our truck and rv... The "Staff" is wonderful! Very friendly and helpful!! Place is kept real clean! Hats off to them All!**Note to Park***.... If you could repaint the "One Way Arrows" on the ground this would prevent people from pulling their rigs in the "wrong" way and blocking traffic or causing a jam!!
We have been here twice in the last two years.
Last year - no shade on our site, and Temps were over 100 degrees. No where for the kids to swim in the lake. It was miserable for the entire weekend.
This year - scouted sites and had some shade at least. Still no swimming areas, but the ranger allowed the kids to play in the sprinklers.
Morale - plan ahead with this campground, espically if you have kids. This is a boaters campground, and amenities are geared towards watercraft, not people.
Quaint campground with a neat western theme on its office, corresponding laundry and spa/shower building. Check in was easy to include being given a local paper other tour/restaurant type information. We had pull through site126 with FHUs, which was a little narrow but doable getting our 39’ Vilano 5th wheel into place. Great water pressure(about 100 psi) so we needed our regulator. They had a dump station and also sold propane. There was fenced playground and swimming pool available as well. Out the back gate near our site was a large area to walk your dog complete with poop bags. WIFI was so-so/normal for this type of campground. The park is well off the interstate so there was no road noise, but we did notice trains off and on durning the day and night, but the noise was not too bad.
