Plan the next camping trip near Lewiston, home of Hells Gate State Park and the Snake River.
Named after Meriwether Lewis and his expeditions, the town of Lewiston, Idaho, was founded on adventure and camping. Follow the path of Lewis and Clark along hiking trails, or kayak down the Snake River. Local RV parks are open year-round and provide back-in campsites with full hookups, while tent camping has amenities like potable water, hammocks, and picnic tables. Outside Lewiston lies Hells Gate State Park, known for waterskiing, boating, and hang gliding. Stay in cabin rentals inside the park, or reserve tent and RV camping sites with water and electric hookups, bathrooms, showers, and boat launch access. Learn about the land settled by the Nez Perce Tribe at Chief Timothy Park before windsurfing in Lower Granite Lake. Park campsites are next to the boat ramps, fishing docks, and beaches for water sports. Winchester Lake State Park is great for groups looking to fish or float on the water. Plus, the friendly lakeside campgrounds have yurt rentals, pull-in sites for travel trailers, and tent camping with fire rings and dump stations.
