Closest place to camp with hookups for Hells canyon fishing has a boat ramp. Shouldn't give it five stars it's already hard to get a spot. I stay here once a year for a week. Spots are easy to get in and out of I just dont know if you can pull in another way because my power cord is not long enough. You may not have water if it's to cold. You may wake up to a group of dear.

This is a well maintained site. There is a single shower, flush toilets, well watered and maintained lawn/grass areas. The RV spts here are simple roadside camping. There are not sites as much as they are wide parking spaces. Tent spaces are large and spacious but not very flat with most of them on a hillside. It's a pretty view of the lake and mountains. There is a dump station across the road.
