Beautiful Canyon Camping

This place is amazing! We spent 2 nights and will definitely be back. Came on a Tuesday, almost sunset. Only 3 of the 5 sites were taken.

No facilities of any sort. Pack in, pack out. No WiFi. No cell. Be prepared to enjoy fresh air, beauty, quiet.

This is a narrow canyon, surrounded by high cliff walls. Everything echoes. Bring good quality firewood. Ours sparked, a lot and loudly. I was nervous our neighbors would think we were firing guns.

A high-clearance vehicle with good sturdy tires is a must. This is off-roading and the rocks are sharp. AWD or 4WD helpful but not necessary.

The sites are well-marked. Good spacing and privacy. Scenery is spectacular. Sites are remote. If you want to go anywhere, it’ll take a while. About 40 minutes from the main road.

Nice for a night

Pro tip: don’t try to find this location using Apple Maps. iOS will take you to the main road ands that’s it. Then you have to hunt for the dirt road that goes to Warm Slough. That road looks very much like private property. Google Maps will take straight to the actual site.

If you fish or want to float Henry’s Fork of the Snake River, this may be a good spot for multiple nights. It’s right on the water. Pretty. Multiple spots with fire pits, but well-spaced. We got the last spot on a Monday in Oct, but it didn’t feel crowded at all.

There are 2 pit toilets. The one at the front is truly disgusting. The one further in by the boat launch is clean, but no TP. Maybe Idaho Fish & Game consider October to be off-season and it would be better maintained in Summer.

We heard hunters close by, but they stopped by about 8:00pm. Otherwise, it was quiet and peaceful. The morning was beautiful - cold with mist coming off the river. For us, it was great for a one-night pit stop on a longer road trip.
