Most cabins provide beds with mattresses but require visitors to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations, from basic fire rings to small refrigerators and microwaves in more developed units.

Cell service is unreliable at most cabin locations, particularly at higher elevations like Godman Guard Station, which sits at 6,000 feet. The isolation offers exceptional stargazing opportunities but requires thorough preparation regarding supplies and provisions.

    Chief Timothy Park

    Chief Timothy review , tents and cabins

    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.

    Dayton-Pomeroy-Blue Mountains KOA

    Wildlife Everywhere!

    We dry camped down the road, so my review is from using The Last Resort dump station ($10 fee), and little store. The owners where super friendly and helpful guides of the area. They have cabins, RV sites (a little tight so if you are over 40 feet call ahead), dump station, propane, gas, and water.

    They also provide recreational access to the local wind farms.

    Boyer Park & Marina KOA

    Clean Park

    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.

    Fields Spring State Park Campground

    Beautiful and quiet, far from anything

    My husband and I love this State Park. It was definitely a good, long drive to get to, but was so worth it (about 5 or so hours from Walla Walla). The campsite was close to showers and water, and not too close to others. Both tent and RV camping is allowed. The hiking trail was long and absolutely amazing, and we ended up near a fire cabin used during the winter and summer. There was a night where coyotes came very close to the campground, and the rangers took care to ensure they didn't get too close. Everyone we came into contact with was friendly and helpful. We saw so much wildlife since it's located far away from cities and people. So worth it!

    Chief Timothy Park

    Great camping on an island in the snake river.

    This campground was developed in the 1980’s and has wonderful facilities including showers, store, laundry, many full hookup sites and plenty of space between pull through sites.

    Chief Timothy Park sits on a 282-acre island on Lower Granite Lake in the Snake River. The Park is known as the gateway to Hells Canyon Recreation Area, the deepest river gorge in North America and an area of striking scenery, abundant cultural history and outdoor adventure.

    We stayed in the second loop which doesn’t have hookups but the sites were beautiful.

    Boyer Park & Marina KOA

    Great campground with friendly staff

    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.

    Chief Timothy Park

    Just OK

    We have stayed at Chief Thimothy quite a few times. It doesn’t seem as well kept as other parks we like! The grass is blotchy, so if there’s rain, there’s mud...no rain,lots of dust and dirt! Easy access to the river with little docks along the shore. Swimming area available,too! Bathrooms, laundry, and full hookups all available. Dog friendly!

    Fields Spring State Park Campground

    Small, quiet state park

    We dreaded dealing with crowds over the 4th of July weekend and back in March, this was one of the few state parks where I could get reservations in this area. Keep in mind that "this area" is about 40 minutes from Clarkston, the nearest town so make sure you stock up and don't count on cell service (except for the top of Puffer Butte!) The campground is small - only 20 sites but even on July 3, there were still a handful of empty sites. It was very quiet. Some sites are pull through and some are larger than others (mostly the ones on the outside of the loop) Site 16 was large and could accommodate several vehicles and tents. One restroom that was very clean with my three necessities: soap, hand dryers, and garbage. Coin-operated shower but make sure you have quarters because there is not always a staff person to give you change. Firewood is on the honor system at $5 per bundle. There is an actual spring that the park is named for but it was still turned off (didn't know you could turn a spring on/off?) There are teepees, cabins, and shelters and it appears to be a popular place in the winter for cross country skiing and tubing. The 2+ mile roundtrip hike to the Puffer Butte is a must as the three state view (WA, ID, OR) is sweeping and gorgeous. Other than that, we enjoyed a quiet two nights at this state park
