Being more of an RV park, It seemed like a campground where most of the people bring their own entertainment (aka quads/sxs/dirt bikes). As far out as it is, there's not a lot to explore on the campgrounds. To explore you have to go out on the dirt road. They do have ping pong tables & a horseshoe pit. Most of the people staying there had dirt bikes and quads. They'd all be coming and going at times. At night, it was very quiet. They have warm showers, and a clean bathroom (clean for camping standards). To note: It's a fairly long (~9 miles) trek on a dirt road to get to the campground off of I-90. Expect your vehicle to get dirty on the way in/out. There was zero cell service (Verizon). Overall, I would recommend this campground!

Only an hour away for us, so an easy getaway for Mom & Dad. Wifi was a godsend, because our T-Mobile phones were useless. It was the only way to communicate with family if needed.

The 30amp surge protector was essentially lying on the ground after plugging in, and it's not a big one. Wouldn't have been happy if it was raining in that regard.

A lot of the RV's look to be full time tenants but it's very clean and quiet. The bathrooms are spotless and probably the nicest ones I've experienced in an RV park.

Full hook ups with cable TV. Gravel sites with a picnic table. Highly recommend this place!!

We were guests at a wedding held here. It was a wonderful venue & a perfect beautiful day…read more The tabernacle / barn & the reception area held a large number of people. There were even a couple of little birds - maybe swallows flying around or sitting way up in the beams during the wedding that added a tiny chirp here & there that was a very neat addition. They brought in a wonderful caterer that our friends often use in CDA & they used the facilities kitchen & it looked like that all went well. The food was excellent. If it was mid to end May or later I think the outdoor area between the tabernacle & the indoor reception area would be perfect for an outdoor reception. The grounds are just beautiful. I was surprised at the number of small children - 1/2 or more of the number of adults to kids who found a variety of things to do so they kept busy the whole time & they really had a great time. There was a bouncy house & then at least 2-3 teens to organize outside games & it was the best family friendly wedding Ive been to since I was young. This was the first wedding I've been to where all the kids were fun to see & happy almost the whole time. Another thing about this venue... it was just about an hour drive from CDA. I don't like to drive but the drive was very easy & it was a beautiful drive the whole way. It was also easy to find. I would definitely recommend this place. I could see it find other uses besides weddings like maybe even birthday parties for any age especially young kids or Quinceaneras etc...

The highway isn't too heavily traveled, so the sites are fairly quiet, with spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. Tables, BBQ grills and fire rings...plus very clean vault toilets and running water. Being in view of the highway, the sites don't feel very secluded or private -- but that is more than made up for by the fact that directly across the highway is a little all-natural sandy-bottomed hot spring, right on the banks of the Payette River. As far as I know you can soak any time, day or night, in a little rectangular pool that used to be part of a bathhouse or something back in the day. We walked over from our campsite after dark, and hiked down for a very relaxing soak. This place is not hardcore, remote or rugged....but I still give it 5 stars because it's clean, beautiful and EASY! And sometimes, that's what you want! I would definitely stay here again...but if you don't want to camp out, you can use the springs for free by parking in the little day use lot at the trailhead, just across from the campground.

The trails are great, the staff is awesome, the reservoir is amazing! The deer are so tame, we had them in our camp every day. Even with so many of us, the staff was super helpful and always took the time to answer our questions. We also did some geo caching, which is fun for the kids and grandparents, too. Kind of wished there was a place for WiFi service. It is camping, so you don't really want it everywhere, but one hotspot so you can adjust reservations would be helpful. But the staff were so amazing, one of them actually worked for the core of engineers, and was so helpful and informative, he was really interesting, and went above and beyond to help all of us have the very best time we could have. Thanks guts, this will be an annual family camping trip!

It is an old campground, though. But it's right smack in the middle of town, and minutes from anywhere you are heading. There is a tent area, and let's just say that those folks were probably NOT on a groovy walking tour of the Palouse, wink wink. I did consider carrying some hollow-point insurance on this trip, but saw it was going to be a full park, with parents dropping off their college kiddos at WSU, so thought that little extra measure was unnecessary this time. Considering there are no brick & mortar bathroom/shower facilities, the $35-night fee is pretty reasonable. But there is a large pee-atorium for folks like us that don't hook up our sewer line. Wifi wasn't great, but you can check weather/email/basics, and I always appreciate that. We'd have no problem staying here, again...
