Very pleasant stay, well run and clean.
We just stayed here for the first time. We were at Boyer Park & Marina, a KOA, Sept. 1-5, 2024. While the campground was full when we pulled in on Sunday, it was almost empty when we woke up Labor Day morning. Even when full, everything was pretty quiet. The beach and walking paths are very nice and close by no matter which spot you're in. Just below the Lower Granite Dam, it's an easy three mile round trip walk on a paved Snake River Trail. I do not recommend making that journey when it's 83 degrees and getting warmer. UGH
The store is great with many clothing options and more. Mike and Monica who run the place are so nice and very helpful. Apparently we really missed out by not taking advantage of the grill and ordering a Smash Burger, which will even be delivered to your campsite.
We will definitely be back.
How much is the tent area from September 15. To 18 morning two people
Overall a good and clean stay on the water. Lots of bugs and very dry. Cute little gift shop!
First off, this place is out in the wilderness and there is no light pollution. Watching the stars is awesome here. There are also a lot of wildflowers everywhere. I saw a ton of coralroot orchids and mountain lady slippers in mid June. The building is fairly close to a road, but there is so little traffic that it doesn't bother you. I had great weather and it cooled off a lot at night so I was able to have a campfire. The rest of the country was in a heatwave, but I was quite pleasantly comfortable up there, elevation of 4123 feet.
Took my nephews here. The rangers were amazing and full of info that my boys just soaked right up! It really is full of green serene… bathrooms are clean as well as the whole campground.
The management is incompetent. Catherine Thagard is claims policies that are not written and informs customers upon arrival. They threaten you, their male management is racist and aggressive. They bend their "rules" and policies dependent on "who" you are. Most importantly, they treat their employees horribly. Only stay here if you want to fund a racist, masaginistic company that abuses their staff
Super safe and well organized. A little pricey and you need a reservation. Usually packed. Great for families (large and small), boaters, fishers, and the casual glamper needing a break. Bathrooms and showers were clean and accessible. Very developed campground, so not very outdoorsy. If you need a break from people this may not be for you
Only downside is no Verizon coverage and free wifi is junk. But for $3/day you can get decent wifi. Quiet during the weekdays. Gets REALLY busy on weekends. A lot of families with a lot of kids. If you are a curmudgeon you won’t like it on the weekend. We were entertained. Sites are moderately sized. Huge compared to most KOAs. Grass is immaculate and so is swimming beach. Nice paved trail along river.
The actual location and grounds are amazing. Right on the Snake river. So much walking and fishing. And swimming. Kayaking. Even cat fishing. The tents sites are very crammed next to each other though. The cabins are cute and small. No bathrooms in them but there are Public bathrooms and showers. Very busy on major holidays in the summer.
I didn’t know we had a good campground near us. The cabin is pretty cheap and was able to fit my entire family including uncles and aunts and grandparents etc.
Even after the holiday the camping area was very clean.
We have tented here several times over the years while motorbike camping, this time was in our 5th with the bikes in garage. We stayed in the Birch Loop with water and hydro hook up. Nice mature shade trees with good clearance. Short walk to a great beach. Staff were great to deal with. Short drive for Costco and such. Great location for a motorbike base camp. So many great roads…especially the Spiral Highway and Snake River. When the jet boats are out playing which seemed mainly on the weekend it could be annoying to some but we really didn't notice it. Birch loop is well shielded from the river by mature trees. Happy Camping. Oh, and don't park on the grass.
My wife and family were freaked out about the bugs… wanted to boondocks after 1 night. Loud party going folks next to us - nice. Spots away from the river are better shaded.
Overall a nice park. Some things seem to be in disrepair like broken water pumps, branches down everywhere, a lot of sick trees, etc. Nice beach for swimming and launching kayaks. No real view of the water from the campsites but easy access via walking trail. Lewis and Clark center was pretty sparse but the video was interesting. Campers were all very respectful and it was very relaxing. I would camp here again. Site #15 in the A loop definitely had the best view of the water.
Extremely quiet. Very clean restrooms.
Nice clean park. Owners went the extra mile to accommodate our granddaughters graduation party when the wind and rain came blowing in
Very nice state park on the snake river. Lots of shade, full hook ups.
We stayed in a tent site..there was grass & the sites were very spacious. Staff was so kind & the park was very clean.
Great campsites
Sites are stacked on top of each other, need quarters for showers that are ice cold
Clean bathrooms, green lawns everywhere, nice big campsite, and nice family beach area. Lots of garbage cans everywhere but no recycling. The showers were kind of dirty. When you reserve online they don’t allow you to pick your site and so you get what you get and we ended up with a view of the bathroom. Tip- call after booking online to request a site. The winds come through quite a bit which helps with the heat but make sure everything is secured down. A train also comes through right next to the campground at least once a day and it’s LOUD. WIFI is really weak and there is no cell service.
PROS:
*The campground is very shady which is great when it's 102 degrees (record breaking year).
*The sites are pretty level and easy in and out.
*They irrigate so there is lush grass everywhere.
*Lots of biking in park and nearby along the riverfront.
*Very nice Lewis and Clark Discovery Center
*Aspen and Birch Loops DO have RV hookups. Cottonwood Loop does not.
*Access to the Snake River, with marina close by
*Disc golf course
*Close to town
CONS: *NO early checkin. 2:00 is it. They say they need the time to water and clean. They were nice about it. *Bathhouses are DESPERATELY in need of updating and the one in Cottonwood Loop mens room smelled of urine. *Can't really see the river from the campground
It was very smoky when we were there due to fires across the river in Oregon, so we cut our visit short. We will return when air quality returns though.
Camping right on the Snake River with Lewis & Clark Discovery Center. Lots of sites, water restrooms, showers, and fire pits. No hookups.
Great camping spot. No RV hookups, but fresh water, restrooms, and showers. Next to river but lots of shrubs. Can walk down trail to access river bank.
Super helpful staff gave us a sweet campsite. Lots of wildlife around and we were camped close to the trailhead. Great hiking and views of the river and canyon. Definitely going back.
It’s a nice little campground, a little bit tightly packed but good facilities
