Dyrt found this gem of a free waterfront site while passing through SW Idaho. It stretches along the river and there’s some neat historical power station buildings to explore and nice green park to picnic by the river. Sunsets down in the canyon are amazing.

No frills and no drama. Friendly host and a nice place to hang for a night while passing through. LaConner is great.

While the sites are uninspiring with very few shade trees, the beach is right there, the sand is nice, and one can wade out quite far in the water to lounge all day. The hosts were super--they went out of their way to go get us firewood in their golf cart as we weren't able to do this with just our motorcycles available. 

The one dig on this which isn't reported elsewhere is that this thing is downwind from a cow pasture, and boy do you know it during the height of the day when its warm and the breeze is filling your nostrils with that fresh dairy smell. Again, get down to the beachfront and stay there.

It's a big public campground with big pull throughs and lots of loud families and barking dogs and the rest. The camp hosts get big props for calling a few days before to work out a schedule change while the website stayed crashed for a few days. They had to rearrange a few folks and nicely accommodated our RV plus Trailer. 

It's an average caliber state campground in a state with way above average camping options, so it gets a middle of the pack scoring of 3-Stars.

If you're into having a mexican restaurant 1 block away (which admittedly we went to) and being sandwiched between a major interstate, a railroad, and a highway, then this place is for you. Sarcasm aside, you have to know its best for big Class A Diesel pushers making their way across the country and needing to stop somewhere near the freeway. It does fine for that. Also the hookups are fine, the grounds are clean, and the water pressure is tremendous. Really, I'm just stretching for nice things to say now.

A legit complaint is the staff did not tell us the restrooms/showers would be closed. We called ahead to ask (given Covid) and they said by June all would be open. It wasn't and there was no explanation. This isn't an issue for the Class A neighbors but for those w/o it was a serious inconvenience. 

Oh, and I was surprised the mosquitos were so vicious given the urban setting.

The road getting you into this deep canyon sets the mood for the epic adventure of sleeping down by the river and surrounded by massive rock walls.

We stayed here for a night the last day of May and the grounds are clean, albeit not well-manicured. Toilets are clean. But there are no sweeping views like seen in the images, no big bodies of water to climb around in. You have small campsites and a large field in the middle. Reward yourself by going a few miles West, South toward Valley of the Gods, or North in towards the Canyonlands for an amazing Utah experience.

Weather note: this sits on the north side of a steep range and a weather system developed within 30 minutes and dumped on us for half an hour. That may very well be a common occurrence.
