A quiet and tranquil place located below Oxbow Dam on the snake river. It is incredibly beautiful in the spring time. Even in the summer, the shade trees provide a cool atmosphere. It is exceptionally relaxing.

Super well-kept campground, all paved spots, no gravel -- right on the Snake River. We liked it a lot, except for one evening out of three we stayed, the bugs were pretty bad. But it was great the rest of the time. There are many raft tours that start nearby after the Hells Canyon dam, but plenty of boating / fishing before the dam too. Caveat #1: If you need WiFi or Cell service, you will be out... Super well-kept campground, all paved spots, no gravel -- right on the Snake River. We liked it a lot, except for one evening out of three we stayed, the bugs were pretty bad. But it was great the rest of the time. There are many raft tours that start nearby after the Hells Canyon dam, but plenty of boating / fishing before the dam too. Caveat #1: If you need WiFi or Cell service, you will be out of luck, it's pretty bad. We didn't need it so no biggie for us. But don't try "Work from home" or "remote school" there. Caveat #2: there are no stores or gas stations for many miles around, so be sure to have a full tank before you get there, and a cooler with food. Fill up in the town of Halfway ~20 miles if you arrive from the West, or Cambridge ~20 miles if you arrive from the South. There is no North or East roads that go to this area, it's pretty remote.
