Made reservations about 2 weeks before hand, arrived there late after work. The office is located inside the casino which is nothing but a tent. There the gal who was also working in the cafe told us to go pick out a spot then come back and tell her which one and pay at that time. We then go set up and get all settled in and go back to pay. At that time she tells us that the spot we have selected is reserved and we have to move. So in the rain, the wind, and the black of night we move to a different spot and go back and tell her where we are and pay for 3 nights. By this time we are worn out and it is in the middle of the night. The next morning we get to thinking about how much we were charged and find out that she has over charged us for a full night. We go back and talk to several different managers over the course of the next couple of days and are told each time that they do not give refunds, even when they are the ones that make the mistake. Also the first spot that we chose was not taken the whole time we were there so we were told to move for no reason. I believe that spot was the one reserved for us in the first place. The only reason I would stay here again was if someone had a gun to my head! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a small campground next door to a large casino. They don't take reservations. You are told to show up, pick out a site and go to the hotel to pay. My receipt showed 25 but I was charged 30 for the night and told they hadn't updated their computer since the new owners took over. Its a clean campground with some very old travel trailers parked on the perimeters. There is a small very hot laundry room in the campground. It's right on the highway, so there is a bit of road noise. The pool is very very small. The restaurant serves beer and wine and very terrible food. Of the three of us, none of us liked our meals and the server didn't really care when we told her. I'd stay away until you hear they have a new chef. At $15.00 for a porterhouse you would think it would be good enough to bring home for the dog, but not in this case. Ordered two, both medium, one was rare and one was burned. I would not stay here, unless you are a die hard gambler and I'd never ever eat there again. You don't get much bang for your buck at 30 a night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very nice State Park! We had a pull through space that easily accommodated our 38 ft. MH and our toad. Our space had water and electric. Park was clean and well cared for. We walked the paved trails that go along the river at least twice a day. Be sure to check out the Lewis and Clark display at the park's office where you check in. We will be back to this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an OK campground. Our site was 30 amp, but the fuse would blow if the line of RVs on the river side had too many things going at once. We had to get the host to reset it several times (he was always very nice about it). My daughter and I went to go hike on the trails down along the river, but some people on horseback told us there were rattlesnakes, so we turned back. Many of the campers there had boats and it looks to be great if you have one. There are no ranger programs, but there is a Lewis and Clark visitor center. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very spacious sites and lots of shade and trees. Wonderful bike path runs for many miles. Swimming beach if you like cold water. We took a jet boat excursion right from the park, very nice. Restrooms could have been cleaner. We had an electric/water only pull through with 50 amp service. All worked well though the pull through would be tight for anything much over 35 feet. The back ins are huge, however. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a beautiful park situated along the Snake river, I would guess that in season it would be very busy. During our visit in early October, even on the weekend it wasn't busy. The spaces are set far apart, so you have the privacy that really only comes with the State park system. I highly recommend this park! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Pretty park and well-maintained. We could not figure out how to use the showers--they were of some strange design we'd never encountered. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and will return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We enjoyed our stay at Hell's Gate State Park. We were staying in a site with no power, but it was still large enough for our rig. The river and trail access was great. The kids loved the large grass area to play in and we didn't feel crowded at all with other sites around us. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A great park near the Snake River. Lots of trees and grass and a great hiking trail along the river. Many pull throughs with water and electric. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice state park, many sights scattered over at least 50 acres. There is a Lewis and Clark history center at the entrance of the park, cabins for rent, lots of trees, good paved roads and easy pull through sites off the Snake river. River sites are back-ins. Nice beach and picnic area and large play areas. Trails leading up the roadless east side of the Snake river make good hiking and biking. Large boat ramp and marina for boating and fishing access. The park is about 1 mile south of Lewiston with all the stores and services you could want. Very quiet, but summer months are much busier than the fall when we were there. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Located right on the Snake River. It gets Hot in the summer here. Lots of things for the kids to do, but the playground is off aways from the camp sites. Nice swim beach, nice big group shelter available for rent. Small camp cabins also available. Good fishing right from the bank. Maintenence of the grounds was lacking a bit, but not to bad. Grass needed mowing, and by the end of a busy weekend the garbage containers were overflowing. Rangers and workers drove through every hour or so, but seemed to avoid eye contact and didn't stop to answer questions. We would stay again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
