About

Bureau of Land Management

The Spring Recreation Site, or Spring Rec for short, is a camping and fishing location off the beaten path away from the crowds. Spring Rec sits on the banks of Browlee Reservoir, a 52-mile long reservoir on the Snake River. The reservoir is known for its large channel catfish, abundant crappie, and good bass fishing. The RV and tent camping sites, boat launch, boarding dock, and fish cleaning station all create a comfortable camping and fishing experience. Spring Rec is ideal for the angler, those who love the outdoors, or for those just looking for a scenic getaway. Know Before You Go:

All vehicles must display a stub from the fee envelope in their windshield.
Drinking water is available.
There are no RV hookups.
Dumpsters are provided.
Portable toilets are available throughout the site.

Brownlee Reservoir is generally full in the spring, but a drawdown begins in summer and may result in closure of the boat ramp at lower levels. Call the Baker BLM office at 541-523-1256 for current ramp conditions.

Stayed outside in dispersed

We stayed outside in a pull out dispersed instead before the recreation site. Had all to ourselves. We dont need facilities. Location is good off freeway. Campground was pretty full of fishermen. No privacy. Setup weird. Gr8 price. $5. We had 5G T-Mobile and fields of sunflowers and a reservoir view.

Funky Camping in a Pretty Place

You get what you pay for here. Cheap, or even free if you use a pullout, running water, the toilets, and parking lots style camping. Excellent access road and not far from I-84. Strong Verizon signal there.

Off the highway quiet spot

Drive into Huntington. There is an Electrify America charger at T & T store. Site us about 5 miles away - good signs. At the Y in the road near the store, there is a sign for a state campground, which actually looks a little bit nicer. More trees and amenities. That said, spring was a very nice spot to sleep over. It is up a little bit above the river so you have a nice view and it was a full moon and it was just gorgeous. There was a vault toilet, which was very clean. There’s also a ramp for boats, and most of the groups that were staying there seem to be boating. There is a campground host and a spot to clean fish if you are fishing. Charge was five dollars. The market was extremely overpriced with a box of crackers, costing eight dollars that in the store would cost three dollars. No fresh produce or anything like that is available. It’s very much a mini market so stock up before you get there. There are three or four grouped levels to the campsite and two of them were full of a group. It seems this would be a great place to come with a group. We camped in basically a gravel parking lot that backed up to a grassy area with a picnic table and fire pit. There is no privacy at all between the camp spots.
