Dworshak State Park - Lenore, Idaho

Went in late August. Water was low but beautiful and warm! Definitely coming back here when the water is higher. Camped in the trout tent only camping spots and loved the closeness to the lake, drinkable water and restrooms.
All the things this park has to offer are for sure going to keep us coming back!

Stayed here for a weekend with my partner and our two dogs in a trailer. No problems with check in or plugging in, appreciated free showers and how big the lake is. Lots of little hiking trails to explore from camp and you can buy ice and firewood and some other things. There’s no service, which can be nice, and service was spotty all the way from there to Moscow. No restaurants nearby so bring food! Some vault toilets were pretty gross, but toilets in camp loops are much better! We’d stay again - it was fun.

Super gorgeous scenery and beautiful campgrounds. Kind of tough to get to some of them when coming from the west. But once you get there it's amazing. No service in most areas but that's what it's all about. Disconnect and enjoy nature and the water.

Such a beautiful place! You are close to the water and the mountains! However the gps doesn’t know where this place is.. so if you “arrive” in the middle of nowhere, just keep driving until you see the signs several miles down the road. There is minimal reception here so download offline maps to help by the way! The water is a bit muddy, but very warm and nice to swim in. The campground is very open and “neighborly”. I loved that there were also free showers here along with clean bathrooms. There are also several trails and you can find all kinds of berries! Would definitely come back here again.

Three important take-aways!
1. DO NOT take the Google recommended route (fastest route) where you turn at Lenore Grade. It turns into a very narrow, GRAVEL road, horrible for RV's! If coming from the West (like Lewiston), take the route to Juliaetta and Kindrick (Hwy 3). It is only about 10 minutes longer, paved the entire way and is easier on your rigs.
2. You should download and print directions, as you will lose internet service shortly after turning off of HYW 12.
3. The last 20 minutes becomes a very steep, very narrow road with tight switch-backs (one-lane priority for RV's and big trucks). Be sure your brakes are good before you take this trip.
We were fortunate to stay in the best loop - Kokanne- (privacy, nice spaces and very pretty). The other loops had less privacy and were a bit noisier. The beach area for swimming is extremely muddy and not much fun. We made the best of it but would have had much more fun had we been in a boat. The rangers and other camp staff were extremely nice and helpful and it was really beautiful. I think if we had taken a boat and taken the easier route, our experience would have been a 4!

We stayed in Freeman Creek group camp sites, Aspen and Huckleberry. Running water and bathrooms. No power or hookups in the group camp sites. Boat launch with several docks to use. Kids enjoyed the volleyball net and archery area.

Fun Fun Fun. We rent the group loop every couple of years for a week of family camping in July. We go on hikes, swim and fish. These photos are from the birthday hiking we did with ages range 5-73 and a couple of dogs.

we paddle board but one thing is for sure you want to have a way to be on the water. either paddle board, boat, kayak etc because the swimming area and close to the shores are gross and muddy to step into. There is a nice playground near the swimming area but the swimming area is yucky.

Beautiful place to camp

Wow.... getting here is a challenge. I love being in the middle of nowhere, but this drive seemed long even for me! And it is a test on the engine and brakes - you go up up up up and then down down down down on the approach to this park. Once there you find a campground with full hookup and non hookup sites, flush toilets, showers, boat dock, and even an archery range! We launched our kayaks and enjoyed the water in the nearly 100 degree temps!
