RangerWhat an amazing spot. Many of the spots are RV accessible a decent gravel road goes through the entire area. Very little traffic people seem to care about the area cuz it's really clean. No hookups excellent phone service cell phone towers just around the corner. No traffic noise. Depending on where you are in the camp you will hear a train come by every couple hours. It's not too close I'm not too loud. Around 2:00 a.m. every morning the coyotes have a 2 to 3 minute party. It's amazing to hear him. Never saw one though they keep away.

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.

The host greeted us were shown the site warned about the irrigation coming on and then left alone. All the sites are water, power and sewer. LVery quiet park kind of out in the middle of nowhere but if you want to visit Palouse falls, this is a great place for your rv base. Found several other local attractions
GuideThis campsite was the perfect break in our drive from North Cascades to Glacier. The road was easy to find and there were so many great sites. There is a porta potty too. We found a site that was both tent-able and hammock-able. Lots of mosquitoes though!
RangerArrived early in the afternoon and got the last spot, looked to be a lot of people staying longer term; but still was quiet and there are lots of places to walk with pets/explore around camp.

We were on the last night of a long cross country road trip and looking for a place to stay on line. We were actually headed to another place, but followed signs to this place and I’m so glad we did! The camp host came out and greeted us warmly, despite being nearly midnight. She picked out the perfect spot for us and walked us there. I’m glad she did, because all spots are all grass and it’s a little difficult to tell where one stops and another starts. The campground has tent and RV sites, and is on the edge of Sprague Lake. Large, well manicures trees offer dappled sunlight, and an amazing front seat to birds! place is spotless. The woman was even raking goose poop. The woman in charge runs a tight ship, but the result is a quiet, clean, grassy oasis with bald eagles nesting next door. Two slight drawbacks, there are train tracks on the other side of the lake. It’s noticeable, but not deafening. Also, it was a bit pricey with a per person charge, a tax, then a 5% fee to pay with a credit card… but better than any alternative we had.
GuideA lot of places to camp here all equipped with fire rings. We had a 30ft RV and drove in on the nice gravel road. We took the very last camping spot closest to the lake and it had a good amount of shade on all sides. It was big enough to fit two campers if camping with friends. The spot was very spacious and felt private. It was clean with only a couple specks of trash that we found.
We walked down to the lake and it looked great for paddle boarding or small boats/rafts but not for swimming. There is a lot of seaweed and it’s murky.
The area/sites are really dusty in July. Lots of dirt but the road is gravel. Sites are pretty well spread out.
We took a little hike and saw a buck with a big rack on it, other deer, and a coyote. Great spot for back country hiking.

Played games and found a little spot down to the water we enjoyed. Store close by to grab sodas for our burgers that night. Clean campground and bathrooms. Very friendly hosts!
Traveler
Great accessibility to water, very clean and pretty campground, nice playground and friendly hosts! We enjoy it here very much!
TravelerEasy access off of I90. Mostly quiet overnight stay as we heard some people from another site and the road was trafficked with people looking for sites. Train noise as well. A fire pit was available. But there was some broken glass and shell casings at our site
GuideNice over night stay, but 1st come 1st served. We got there about 4pm and luckily found the last spot. May have been one of the best spots as well.
Scout
Breathtaking and life changing the natural gifts of this environment and the peace and serenity that come with the experience!
ScoutAccess to Hog Lake was closed. Found a spot with a fire pit. All the spots are pretty spread out. Unfortunately not many treed areas for wood. Fairly rough terrain of sand and rocks
Traveler
super organized and friendly, beautiful park
Traveler
Super pretty, gets real cold at night. Very convenient stop between pullman/moscow and clarkston/lewiston. The wildlife is very loud and very curious so bring earplugs if your sensitive to noise. Very clean, will absolutely be going again.

We were there in mid March, the only ones there at the time. There are seven campsites total, three can be accessed with an RV, we did ok with a 27' travel trailer, but I wouldn't recommend going there with anything larger. the rest of the sites would be tent only. There is a clean outhouse, no water or garbage service. We will stay there again.
ScoutI haven't been there, but per owner feedback on Google reviews it appears this has become a private community; no daily or seasonal sites.
LegendGeneral: 41 RV sites with water and electric plus 11 tent sites in a grassy common area.
Site Quality: Reasonable separation between the sites. The back-in sites are wide enough to comfortably fit a TT, 5th wheel or RV and your toad or other vehicle side-by-side. The pull-through sites are very large. All sites have gravel camper pads and most appeared very level or had a level area. Our site, along with several others, had a nice view of Lake Sacajawea.
Bath/Shower house: Clean even if a little dated. Didn’t use the shower so cannot comment on that except that the hooks are located outside of the shower stalls so even though there is a swinging door to the shower area, privacy is compromised a bit by this design.
Activities: Unless you have a boat (there is a boat launch and dock), not too much to do here except relax. There is a small swimming area but no beach to speak of (grassy and pebbly area). There is a playground and horseshoe pits but no hiking trails that I could see.
To get to this campground, you drive past many miles of apple orchards and then suddenly, you see the lake and campground. There are quite a few trees for shade. Surprisingly good cell (Verizon) given the remoteness of the campground. Be aware there are train tracks nearby and you will hear an occasional loud train. It was very quiet on the Wednesday before Labor Day, but we were told it would be completely full on the weekend.
RangerWe found the most amazing site! We felt like we were on top of the world! Clear open skies! Loved the sound of the cows, coyotes, and owls! Total dispersed camping! Thank you to whoever left us wood!
TravelerWe really enjoyed our night stay , it was very quiet and the campsites were spread out well enough that it was quite private! We will be going back . Can’t drive right down to the lake , but you can walk in and take the trail around it .
GuideStopped hear from driving fatigue for the night. Glad I did. Plenty of spots to choose from & friendly waves from other campers (RVs, busses, cars).
Be aware there is a lot of noise from planes and trains but not enough to keep me from my sleep.
TravelerIt's a nice clean park. Make reservations on Recreation.gov first. Even if you are showing up at 7:30 at night.

In the area to visit relatives. Facilities were clean. People we met were nice and helpful. Propane available to purchase. If visiting check out Country Mercantile about 20 miles south. Good eats!

I was able to fit my 35’ trailer and truck in a spot with the tires at the concrete tire-stop. The width of the parking spots were barely big enough with the slide out. The spaces are relatively close. This didn’t seem to matter as there were only a handful of spaces occupied when we arrived. We were able to get a space that had a great view o the lake, and I’m sure the sunset would be great too if it weren’t from the wildfire smoke. No hookups. There is a dump station but was closed during our stay. I would stay here again for the $15 fee.
TravelerSuper 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
