Hells Gate SP/Lewiston Idaho

Thinking about a stopover at Hells Gate State Park possibly next week. Any input on the Campground and will it be any trouble with a 40ft MH and toad ?

  • Oh yeah, you won't have trouble with the size of your rig here. We always make reservations on-line with Idaho SP's, but seems like there's usually plenty of spaces leftover this time of year during weekdays.

    All sites are W/E and some have sewer. We usually don't have a sewer site so I make sure to bring my 10 gal rolling tote. In the middle of each circle there is a communal grey water drain. It's no big deal to utilize that once a day.
  • One of our favorite SP's up here in the NW. Right on the Snake River. Quiet, yet on the edge of town. I am a bike rider and part of its appeal to me is its easy access to the Lewiston-Clarkston Bike Trail system.

    Scenic day trips all around their including down the Snake or south into NE Oregon into the Grande Ronde River/Snake River gorges; the Wallowa Mts. around Enterprise & St. Joseph, OR; the Blue Mts in SE Washington.

    We are camping there several days next week as well. Our first time out this spring.
