Entrance off of West Mountain Road. Go slow - it is tucked back in the trees just past the pond and it is easy to miss.

Weekend Trip to Tamarack Falls Campground

Fantastic location and host. I don't know why Hipcamp is asking me to leave a review when I have already left one which is very positive and contains images and is already posted!

Weekend Trip to Waterfront RV camping brownlee

AMAZING place to stay! Best campsite we have ever gone to. Great place for swimming, fishing, and rock hunting. Beautiful rocks there. It has a HUGE private beach, and a boat launch for smaller size boats. Friday night and we heard a sound and thought a cow got out from nearby. Turned out 2 mule deer, a doe and fawn, came down to eat and drink at our campsite about 10 yards away from us as we sat around talking by the fire pit. They weren't scared of us at all and stayed probably 20-30 minutes. Then 5 wild turkeys came down the next morning and sat on the beach for 3 hours. We saw numerous big hawks, a golden eagle, and several ducks. Truly a magical experience. Danny our host is an incredible, fun, kind, informative host. We are going to book it again as soon as it gets warmer and take our 2 grandchildren. We have for dachshunds and they loved being outside under the shade trees all day long by where we parked the camper. You have a lot of space where you park your camper, There is a grill to set over a fire pit. It saved us because our camper batteries died and we had no electricity all weekend, our generator has to have enough battery power to start the generator to run the gas line so we couldn't use our gas grill. Can't wait to go again, this time with new batteries!🤣🤣🤣

This camp spot, set on the Snake River is fantastic. We had easy access to the water which was super fun with the padddleboard. Lonita hosted us because Danny was busy. She took very good care of us, especially considering that we forgot a couple of key items for our trailer. Camping next to the river was peaceful and beautiful. We highly recommend Danny’s camp.

Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe often stayed in this area and on the property. In fact this was where his tribe met to discuss and decide to try to go to escape to Canada. This is where that journey started. You can still find arrow heads on the shoreline every so often. I’m ruffly 15 miles north of Huntington oregon. 13 miles of which is dirt road. The property sits at the base of lookout mountain. Really good cell service here with Verizon Full bars. If you decide to come camp make sure your directions take you through Huntington. Google sometimes likes to try to get people to drive over the mountain. Or if your coming from the north it sometimes wants you to go through Richland and then on 34 miles of dirt road. Going Through Huntington onto snake river rd is the easy way to go.

Tamarack Falls Campground

5 sites · RVs2 acres · Donnelly, ID

Right by the shores of Cascade Lake. Just down the road from Tamarack Resort. Walking distance to the Fishing Bridge and Mountain Meadows Adventure Rentals. You can fish from the bridge, rent a jet-ski and go on the lake, or take an off-road vehicle and ride in the mountains - right from your campsite. There is even a small pond on the property. Some history and geography: Where are the Falls? I wondered that myself when first bought the property. I have asked around and done some research - and come up with two answers, although I can't verify either one. First Answer: The old Tamarack Falls have been covered up by the reservoir. That is, there used to be a waterfall in this vicinity, but now it is covered up by Lake Cascade. Maybe, but I can't find any old photographs showing that, and the reservoir has never gotten low enough to see any falls. In fact, at low level, the upper reaches just look like a meadow with the original channel of the Payette River meandering through. But maybe at the narrows by the Fishing Bridge it is possible there are some submerged falls there. Second Answer: The Falls are still there, but they also are not the classic water falls you might imagine. Instead they are the numerous streams that gush down West Mountain every spring and really never completely dry up, even in a dry autumn. They are quite pretty, but not exactly a roaring mountain waterfall. These streams can be seen everywhere, especially in the spring, and they to tumble down a steep slope. They come right out of the rocky faces of the tamarack forest, so it makes sense to call them Tamarack Falls. They are all over the place. At least two of these streams ( and more in the spring) feed the pond on this property. Hence Tamarack Falls Pond. The pond is "artificial" in the sense that it was created when fill dirt used to build West Mountain Road blocked the stream and created a small pond. The pond stays at a constant level because its outflow is a culvert that runs under West Mountain Road and from there into Lake Cascade. Two main streams feed the pond - one on the northside and one on the southside. The shape of the two little submerged valleys give the pond a lopsided crescent shape with a small peninsula curving out into the middle of the pond's west side.
