Our YouTube Video of Hells Canyon Park

Hells Canyon Park is spread over 15 acres of lawn and shade trees. The park is situated on the Idaho side of Hells Canyon Reservoir deep in the canyon. In an unusual arrangement, the campsites are parallel parking. So, you might want to practice that with your trailer, lol. There are multiple docks along the reservoir, most people come here to fish or just to get away. Day use in the park is free. Word of warning, the campground is very busy in the summer!
