"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."
ScoutGreat sites many with full hookups, make sure you check what your site has when you book. Lots of families so expect there to be kids running and playing. North side of the campground can get pretty windy. Pretty sunsets over the river and views of ice harbor dam in the distance.
GuideLots of long-term residents settled in this campground-sites with well-established gardens and personally painted signs and other decor with their site number. Laundry and restrooms are clean and staff are visibly at work maintaining the campground. I have was in a large site with a patio that had tables, chairs, gas grill, gas fire pit and a lawn.
RangerWow, this place is a breath of fresh air given the condition of so many KOA Journey campgrounds. This place is well kept with basic amenities. As always the staff is super friendly and helpful.
Attached our pictures to help you see what this campground is all about. A picture is easily worth a thousand words!
GuideCampground is nice has fairly clean bathrooms only three stalls and three showers and unisex (not a fan of unisex bathrooms). Great WiFi,cable tv, and great view. Greeted by a friendly host and hook ups are in good condition. Would recommend for passing through not much to do in area without a vehicle.
ScoutThis park is city owned, and they seem to have problems keeping a campground host. You reserve online and pay with a check or cash when you arrive. The restrooms are clean. There is laundry with 2 washers and 2 dryers, $1.25 per load to both wash and dry. The grounds are dry and dusty, as only the campers water at their own sites. There appear to be some long-term campers, but they keep their sites neat.
GuideThis is a large asphalt parking lot boat launch where you are allowed to camp in grass covered sites around the periphery. Army Corp of Engineers camp along the Snake River, Lake Bryant. People are also allowed to come here to shoot and hunt waterfowl. Multi-use. It is kept very clean. The norm for Army Corp of Engineers sites. My Verizon cell has a strong signal but it is roaming. 4G. The T-mobile gets nothing. Vault toilet. No water or electricity. No trash bin. Bring shade. There are a few trees in the picnic areas. Excellent place to test out your Starlink. No dump station nearby. 14 day limit.
GuideAmazing views, grounds were well maintained. Just needed a place to crash for a couple nights on a road trip and it did the trick. Camp hosts were nice.
ScoutDisappointing!! Grew up at this campground in 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Closed for last one or two years and just reopened. Corp totally let campground deteriorate to disgusting condition. Unbelievable that Corp would charge any amount of money to stay at this location. Beware!! Visit site before booking because description of site is not close what campground is advertising.
TravelerThe hosts are helpful and friendly. Campground is spotless. Would return.
