This is a large dispersed campground with no formal parking or camping units located along the Snake River in Hells Canyon. Used by both tent campers and RVs the area offers a place to camp along the Snake River. Few amenities exist, there is one outhouse and informational sign at the pull in to the parking area.
From Cambridge take Hwy 71 down to the Snake River, approximately 26 miles. Then continue on the Hwy 71 another 30 miles to the entrance of the dispersed area.
A very nice dispersed camping area in Hells Canyon. The camping area offers river (lake) access and a couple of very clean pit toilets.
Free dry disbursed camping on the reservoir and a clean bathroom. As always with campgrounds, you should arrive when there is still light so you can see your options. There are 4 entrances off the main road. We took the 2nd and got one of two flat spaces against the trees on the water. Beautiful. I had brought gloves and a garbage bag so we spent some time cleaning up the area before we left. Rivers and drinking can result in trash. Leave campsites cleaner than you find them.
Nice boondocking place. Each location has a great view and a clean vault toilet for use.
Don't forget to check out the visitors center.
Great unimproved camping area. Very quiet. Pit toilet. Bring your own water. Some sites don't have shade.
