Hells Canyon Reservoir runs from Copperfield Oregon up north along the Snake River/Hells Canyon all…read morethe way up to the dam. It's a long, fairly narrow reservoir that sits in a steep, picturesque canyon. You can access it from both the Oregon and Idaho sides, with numerous areas for camping and boat launch on both sides. This river reservoir is nestled in a hot, dry climate and offers an emerald-hued escape from the oppressive heat. We visited on a day that crested well over 100 heatwave) and, well, that's pretty much perfect for enjoying the cool water. There are a ton of trailheads along the reservoir if you want to hike up to the canyon rim, and definitely tons of lakefront to stretch out on. Aside from the established campgrounds there are a bunch of pullouts on Hells Canyon Road suitable for car camping. This is definitely a locals spot, and not really a destination. I think Wallowa Lake is more for the Portland tourists. But that said, it's easy to see how this is a really popular spot for party boats, water skiing, and simple lake-style recreation.

The staff here are genuinely friendly and welcoming, which set the tone from the moment we arrived…read more The on-site general store is surprisingly well-stocked covering RV accessories, laundry supplies, clothing, toys, collectibles, and food. It's the kind of stop where you can actually resupply without driving into town. The hot tub was clean, well-maintained, and properly warm. Bathrooms had hot showers with solid water pressure, which is never guaranteed at an RV park and always appreciated after a long day on the road. We were passing through on a road trip and stayed one night in our rooftop tent. For a single-night stop, this place delivered everything you'd want. Clean facilities, good amenities, and staff that make you feel like a guest rather than a transaction. Would stop here again without hesitation.

The grounds/campsites are…read morenothing fancy, lots of dirt, gravel and stickers and our site was a "river front" site but not really. No shade at all, wish we were in one that had some. It was kind of near the river/launch ramp. Not much of a view. I think this location of the snake river just isn't all that nice. A lot of brown yuck and lots of flies and gnats. Had to be careful to keep our mouths closed! When I went to use the bathroom, the light wouldn't work! I tried a couple different switches (they're outside) nothing! So I had to leave the door wide open for the natural light to come in. I don't get it? Why not have a light switch inside the bathroom? Anyway definitely clean - very outdated. The camp host was nice, she saw us come in and kind of chased us down on her little golf cart and actually came around my husband's blind side and he almost ran her over! We were a little confused by the way she snuck up on us. I'm not sure if I would recommend coming here ? Definitely not an "Oasis on the Snake" Of all the RV parks that we have been to on our 2 Week road trip, this was by far our least favorite.

I'm sure if I just checked after a few weeks it would be like this. Not to mention they don't maintain the trees and causes problems over my RV.

They have raised the rent 20% in a year and half and threatening on raising it again because of increased electric usage. I would highly recommend passing this place up, unless you like taking showers in water.

We saw some had grass and tables but we had nothing but gravel and a crappy view lol. It stunk terribly from the creek that is more like a stagnant pond . But I still gave a 5 star because it gave a spot to stop and we had hook ups. If your looking for a beautiful view this probably isn't the place, also no fire pits so no fires. If we were to stay more than a day I'd move on but again for just a night getting some sleep it worked. Also seems like regulars stay there... Like perhaps live there? Not sure but we had zero troubles and slept great.

Individual sites include water and electricity and there are also tent-only and group sites.. From Boise, it's about the same distance as going to McCall, but the drive along the freeway is much easier. The campground is also available for day use; many picnic tables are spread out between campsites and the lake. A paved trail circles the lake for walkers and bikers. We really enjoyed our stay here and look forward to a return visit.

First of all, George, the guy i talked to on the phone ("come on down, bring all your friends! $7 per car."), who took my money, gave me a free pen, gave me some discarded cardboard to help me build a fire, and showed me where the bathroom was, was very friendly and helpful. You know those customer service experiences where you find yourself smiling minutes after you've finished talking? It was like that. This place was about a 15 minute drive from I-80 and yet it feels as though it was hours away from civilization (could have sworn I heard "Dueling Banjos" being played as we drove down the long gravel road). We were treated to both a beautiful sunset and sunrise and there was an adorable babbling brook nearby. We were tent camping on what I'm pretty sure was someone's front lawn but when it got dark we could have been deep in the forest, it was so quiet and peaceful. Every inch of our un-bug-sprayed-exposed skin got bit my mosquitoes, though I think that was due in part to our choosing to be so close to the water. The inhabitants of the campgrounds looked like permanent residents, there were about 8 or so RVs that looked like they hadn't been moved in a while. They probably don't have very many tent campers, because there were only 2 fire pits. The bathroom was really clean (if a little old and decrepit) and heated! Totally private shower. If you find yourself looking for a motel alternative in Eastern Oregon, this is a really good one. Bring the bug spray!

We had a grassy area to the right with a picnic table and a nice tree for some shade in the heat of the day. There is a nice area for tents. There are two restrooms and 8 private showers. All of the staff were nice as were the other campers. No issues with loud noise at all. We will definitely stay again when our travels bring us this way. Around the area....shopping and anything you might need is in Boise about a half hour away. We went to Lucky Peak State Park. It has a river, a lake and a dam, and a nice sandy beach.

There are so many trails with an abundance of options for difficulty, or even just driving through was tranquil. We saw a huge variety of birds, wildlife, flowers, and just incredible views. It's worth a visit, take a day and explore, we went in late June and saw many adorable fawns and deer!

Oh man, oh man, oh man--all of the heart eyes! (Not the easiest thing in the world to get to, but…read morelike a hidden treasure, once you find it, the hunt is so worth it!) How to get there(ish): 1. Head up ID 55 like you're going towards McCall 2. Hang a right on Banks Lowman Highway 3. Drive for 28 miles and then you'll see Pine Flats Campground on the right 4. (Now getting to the hot springs is a bit tricky. Side note: I definitely would NOT recommend attempting this in snowy weather, that just would not be smart or safe.) Anyways, you're going to take a trail that runs sort of by the river and is towards the rightmost part of the campground. You'll walk for what I assume to be a quarter mile, and then voila! You'll arrive at a beach along the river with massive boulders and pools stacked against the hillside (this is all natural by the way)! The Campground: Parking is $5/day, and I am not sure about the cost of overnight camping as we only made a day trip here. They have one bathroom here, and, well, it's totally a public park bathroom. The Views: We went on an October weekend, so we had a view that combined all things beautiful that Idaho has to offer in one--snow on mountains in the distance, lush green hills, stunning fall foliage, a rushing river running along the hot springs, and clean mountain air. The Hot Springs: A good amount of the pools of water were warm and I would only recommend sitting in them if the weather is above 80 degrees, or else you'll get chilly real quick. But for the most part, they were toasty, especially if you sat underneath the ones with waterfalls--those will heat you right up! Pro Tip(s): 1. Make sure you have more than enough gas in your car--you're out of service up here and out of luck if you run out of gas. 2. Bring a big water bottle! Sitting in hot water will dehydrate ya real quick.

When you arrive it can be a little confusing but don't be overwhelmed with the long walking trail! Overall our experience for first timers was great. We did have to walk a little and if your a first timer also like us you may want to be ready with some hiking shoes, warm clothes/swimming clothes if your using the hot springs and a happy motivation(: The hot springs pool overall is pretty smaller then expected but good maybe for couples if you need a nice date idea. The temperature is perfect if you land in the right spot. (Lower ones are better) would we do this again ? 10/10 yes.
