Steck Park offers access to Brownlee Reservoir along the Snake River from the Idaho side of Hell's Canyon. The park is at the southern end of the 56-mile-long reservoir, not far from the town of Weiser, Idaho. Brownlee is among Idaho's most heavily fished waters. Each year, about 10,000 visitors use the site to enjoy boating and prime catfish, crappie, and smallmouth bass fishing - considered the best in Idaho and Oregon. Visitors can camp in two areas. The lower campground is in the older, shaded part of the park and provides 21 sites (16 of these for RVs). The newer area has 23 campsites, 4 of which are group sites. Steck Park also has two boat launching facilities including a ramp near the lower campground offering access for car-top boats and small trailered boats and an extended, low-water ramp (useable down to 2055' water level) at the far end of the park. In addition to camp sites, the park has a potable water for every three sites, vault toilets, an RV dump station, and a fish cleaning station. Steck Park is a fee area - Day Use - $2.00; Tent Camping - $5.00/night; RV Camping - $8.00/night. There is a seasonal camp host on site. No reservations. First-come, first-served. ADA Access: One campsite in the older portion of the campground is accessible.

RV-$8.00/night; tent-$5.00/night; day use (per vehicle)-$2.00/day
Love fishing here! Only complaint is the wind can be awful. Other than that it is a great place to bring the family to camp and fish. There are many places to put a boat in the water and even more places to fish off the bank. Almost everywhere is easy access to the water. There are bathroom facilities located throughout the camps which are taken care of nicely. There os dumpsters at the entrance of the park for easy trash removal.
We camped here last weekend. Great fishing. There were only a few people there. BRING SOMETHING TO KILL SPIDERS!!!! They're everywhere and they're not little! Couldn't get to the toilet in most bathrooms because of them. Well never spend the night again. Will spend the day though.
If you don't mind the Flies and mosquitoes, it's a great place for catching large yummy catfish. Oh yeah don't forget about the humongous spiders everywhere. But if you like catching large catfish, this is a great place to do it. A side of the trains that go by it's actually a peaceful place to go fishing. And if you like off-roading and playing in the sand there is a spot on the way out here to stop at. They've got a pretty good sized Sand Dune area. And if you like shooting there's areas for that as well. Just be mindful of ranchers cattle that are free range. Make sure not to hit one of those or you being a lot of trouble, LOL
