Located in Hell’s Canyon on the Brownlee Reservoir, this campground is frequented by fishing enthusiasts. The park is divided into four camping loops plus tent sites. All dogs were leashed while walking, but many were off-leash at the campsites. The dogs were well-behaved, so the campers were not bothered by the camp hosts.
The spring weather brings active wildlife and wildflowers. I’ve seen deer, geese, fox, bald eagles and coyotes. The park was clean and well cared for. The camp hosts are accessible if you need them. There is free firewood at the camp host site if you run out. The campground has a number of walking trails and grassy areas for day use and groups. The restrooms and free showers were clean an abundant. A store is located just over two miles away for anything you left behind plus they have Wi-Fi.
Some campers were able to get Wi-Fi. Cell service was non-existent for Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T.
Bring your boats, kayaks or paddle boards for water fun.
Tips from frequent campers here, the Idaho side are Mountain Time zone, while the Oregon side is Pacific Time zone. While a cell signal is rare, many phones have changed the time zone automatically.
If it’s been a few years since you have visited the campground, reservations are strongly encouraged. I’m told it used to be FCFS which is causing headaches for those who arrive in advance of a busy weekend and find they have to leave.
Sites A8 through A26 resemble long parking spaces for buses. The reservation site blocks off every other site number so you have two spaces giving you extra room.
Sites B11 through B21 take some creative driving for the longer rigs. The angle of the road plus some inconveniently placed boulders make backing in a challenge. To fit in some sites, you may need to unhook your truck from the trailer.
To reach the tent sites in Section T, you must walk your gear to the site from your vehicle. If you have a wagon, that makes it easier.
The dump station is not easy to pull through for longer rigs. While there, a friend with a 38’ toy hauler almost got stuck, and he is an experienced driver. Plan ahead.
