Overnight at the Oasis

9 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents2 acres ¡ Anatone, WA
Boggan's Oasis is in the SE corner of Washington state, right on the breathtaking Grande Ronde River. Visitors can arrive by driving to the bottom of Rattlesnake Grade (WA-129), or the bottom of Buford Grade (OR-3). These two curvacious roads are extremely popular rides for motorcyclists and bicyclists nationally. Visitors may also arrive by water (rafts, driftboats, jetboats, kayaks, etc) coming downriver from Oregon, or upriver from the Snake River (WA/ID). Many other unpaved roads will lead guests to our canyon, which creates great opportunities for off-road vehicle adventures! The Grande Ronde River, which drains much of northeast Oregon's Union and Wallowa counties, is fed by snowpack in the Elkhorn Mountains. The Wallowa River, a major tributary to the Grande Ronde, headwaters in the Wallowa Mountains, mostly within the Eagle Cap Wilderness. Twenty-two miles from Boggan's Oasis, the Grande Ronde River flows into the mighty Snake River. The river is surrounded by steep, rugged canyon walls that rise 3000 to 4000 feet above the river level. Dense conifer forests blend into grassy slopes set off by scattered conifer "stringers." Called "The Land of Winding Waters" by Native Americans, the river is home to rainbow trout, dolly varden, whitefish, squawfish, suckers, bass, and steelhead. Rocky Mountain elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, bighorn sheep, bear, bald eagles, and a variety of smaller animals and birds can be seen daily. And yes, there are rattlesnakes! Fishing, hunting, hiking, all kinds of boating/floating, offroad vehicle riding, and animal/bird watching are beyond expectations in this area. Seasonally, guests can also successfully gather a variety of mushrooms and berries while on one of the many nearby hiking trails. Many of these short walks also lead to incredible, far-reaching views of the Blue Mountains, Wenaha wildlife sanctuary, Hells Canyon, and the tri-state area. In the hotter summer months, the swimming hole below the Boggan's Bridge is a popular way to cool off. Boggan's Oasis also offers fishing trips, float trips, shuttles, and a FULL restaurant!

Burnett Homestead

15 sites ¡ RVs10 acres ¡ Kooskia, ID
We moved from the big city of Austin TX to middle-of-nowhere ID without a clue where we would live, what we would do for work, and no friends or family nearby. All we knew is that someday we wanted to own land, start a homestead, raise our family, and grow our own food! Then we found out we were pregnant! So the hunt began for a piece of land to call our own. We found this beautiful little lot and thought 10 acres sounded just right. The neighbors were quiet and friendly, it was in the perfect area to do a lot of outdoor recreation, and we felt right at home with the small-town vibe. It had all we needed - groceries, a post office, and each other. When we tell people where we came from, they always ask, "How did you find this place?!" We kind of just closed our eyes and pointed at the map. Ok, maybe it was a bit more calculated than that, but honestly, not by much. We really did just pick a place we thought would be good for what we wanted to do, read the Wiki page on the town and surrounding areas, and decided it was exactly what we were looking for. So we moved, site unseen. We searched for land for almost two months while camping all around the area, and finally landed on this one. We are very proud of this 10 acres and have big plans for it, but it's been sitting for about a year now as we've been behind schedule on making the improvements we want to make. It would be awesome if it could be used and loved until we are able to continue building our dream. That's where you come in! Thank you for your interest and welcome to the Burnett Homestead!Learn more about this land:This is bare land with no hookups, but it is 10 beautiful acres of green grass with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. Wildlife loves to pass through and bed down in our pasture. It is a very quiet neighborhood. We have exciting development plans coming soon, but are really looking forward to hosting campers in the meantime! There is only a dirt road up the hill to a more level camping area, so 4x4 or AWD will be recommended to ascend the driveway. We had it made with an extra wide switchback to allow trailers to turn easily. We welcome tent, RV, and van campers alike! Our property is only MINUTES away from hunting, fishing, and hiking. There are grocery stores and gas stations nearby as well. Bring your pets, bring your toys, and get ready to have fun! Take some time to explore our cute little town as you drive through. Welcome to rural Idaho!

The best camping near Winchester State Park guide

Overview

About

Calling all trout lovers! Winchester State Park is the place to go in Idaho if you’re looking for great rainbow trout fishing. The state stocks the waters each year, so the odds are in your favor out here. You can also check out the Wolf Education Center, where you’re able to oogle at wolves in a near-natural habitat. Winchester even has some unique camping options on offer, like their deluxe yurt. The yurt rental come complete with bikes and a canoe, so you can zip around the park easily, or take a leisurely paddle around the lake. But, if rustic camping is more your jam, pitch your tent at one of the lovely campsites in the park. These ones don’t come with a complimentary canoe, but they do have excellent views of the lake and of Craig Mountain.

Notable campgrounds

  • Tamarack Yurt: Deluxe accommodations with bicycles included for a scenic ride around the park.
  • Lodgepole Yurt: A pet-friendly yurt offering a cozy stay amid the park's natural beauty.
  • Lakeside Campsites: Peaceful spots surrounded by Ponderosa pines, some with stunning lake views.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early, especially for peak season stays from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
  • Consider midweek camping for better availability and a quieter experience.
  • Check for cancellations regularly as plans can change and spots may open up.
  • Explore nearby camping options for alternative accommodations if the park is fully booked.

When to go

The best time to visit Winchester State Park is during the summer for fishing, hiking, and paddling. Winter brings the charm of snowshoeing and ice fishing. Avoid peak holidays if you prefer a tranquil visit, as the park is a popular destination and can get crowded.

Know before you go

  • Day-use locations are open from 7am to 10pm, with hours subject to change at park manager discretion.
  • Small boats are welcome on the lake, but gasoline engines are not permitted.
  • For safety, always check weather conditions before participating in water activities.
  • Accessibility features include ADA campsites and yurts, ensuring an inclusive experience for all visitors.
