This CG is one of several camping areas around Lake Cascade managed as part of Lake Cascade State Park. The CG is on a hillside overlooking a boat ramp and an arm of Lake Cascade. Sites are paved and level. No hook-ups or showers available in this camping area. It is located far off the highway so it is very quiet. Most sites are small to medium-sized but there are a few that could accommodate a big rig. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great campground for someone with a boat. We stayed right on the waters edge. All parks are well kept and clean. Sites on the west side of the lake are not as popular, but appear newer. Would recommend this state park to anyone with a boat or jet skis. We stayed in a tent. We camped here in a Tent.
Spent nearly 2 and 1/2 months here as work camper. It was an enjoyable time. The sites are large but roads can be dusty in the late summer. The only problems we encountered were weak WiFi (only received the signal near the office) and the sewer connection was very far away from the electrical and water hook-ups--required two hose extensions. The weekend breakfast adds a real family experience and that is the atmosphere the owners want for this campground. The local town is somewhat limited in resources, but otherwise, a great get-away for a day or week. Mostly caters to residents from Boise on a regular basis. Most campers are returning from previous visits. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is our 10th year of camping here and have always had a wonderful time here. Great people, lots of amenities, and great fishing. I understand they have had a #10 rating from Good Sam for the past several years. Free Saturday cinnamon rolls, a Sunday morning breakfast, a Luau in the summer, free kayaks and canoes to use and a fun family time had by all. We highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here 3 times in 2003, and this is a nice park. Not a luxury park, but a nice
family park. Try to get on the river front. I read the above comments and do not agree with the negitives. Good river fishing, caught my first Idaho rainbow right in back of the check in. Very nice people, very nice park... very clean rest rooms. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The owners must have read the above comments because I stayed there for 2 weeks and didn't notice any of the above. The electrical was fine. I understand the power company made some changes in their equipment to correct the problem. This is a very nice park in a beautiful setting. I will certainly go back and recommend it to my friends.

All of the above apply. Big rigs and larger trailers/5th wheels must be extremely careful of the boulders that are placed on nearly every corner and turn in the park as they are easily run over or hit. Very dusty and ATVs are allowed to run freely. The owner is aware of the low voltage but denies that it is a problem. I was able to observe voltages as low as 99 volts there. There is absolutely no enforcement of the few rules which they have. Outside groups are allowed to come in and use the free canoes and kyaks so the patrons that have paid to stay there have to wait. There are plans to build a hotel on the premises and if that happens, the ambience of being on a beautiful river will be destroyed. This is a beautiful campground (not resort) with all of the potential of being a first class resort but that potential is being ignored. We camped here in a camper.

Thanks so much for your site. As a result, I plan to file a claim with the owners of this park. I spent two nights there-July 15th and 16th. 8 days after I left, my air conditioner motor stopped working and the technician I had check it out said it was burned up-probably from low voltage. I accidently ran across these comments on this park and as a result, I will write a letter asking for reimbursement for my replacement air conditioner-it cost me $1100. If the owner knows of this problem like it is stated above and does not warn the campers, all I can say is "shame on them." Thanks again for this great site. We camped here in a camper.

I just read the above posting and I agree with it 100%. We also left before our stay was up due to low voltage. The owners are aware of it and don't warn their guests of it. The park has the potential of being a great park but until the owners start enforcing some rules and correct the low voltage, I won't go back nor recommend it. We camped here in a camper.

Advertised as a resort but far from it. Dogs run loose and voltage is very low. Only a few sites on the river and they are taken by term campers. Campfires allowed which causes a problem if you like to sleep with your window open. Very nice owners. 4 wheelers and motorcycles are allowed to run around in the park. Lots of dust. Good breakfast on Sun am for a fee. Ok for a few nights but the low voltage caused us to leave. We camped here in a camper.
