Idaho Power campgrounds can now be reserved online

Until now, you had to drive to Hells Canyon or C.J. Strike Reservoir south of Mountain Home to see what sites were available.

You can now go online to reserve spots at seven of Idaho Power’s most popular campgrounds.

Four campgrounds at Hells Canyon and three at C.J. Strike are open for reservations; however, some spots will remain available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Also, overnight camping sites at Swan Falls Dam, Carter’s Landing in Hells Canyon, Locust Park near C.J. Strike and the Moonshine Mine boat launch near Richland, Oregon, are not included in the reservation system.

Reservations can only be made for visits scheduled between the first Friday in April through the last Sunday in October.

You can make reservations up to nine months in advance, and off-season camping will remain first-come, first-served.

It costs $10 to reserve online, and a phone-reservation option is also available for $15.

Camping rates have not changed; however, you will be responsible for state and local taxes that previously were paid by Idaho Power. Prices range from $8-$16 per night depending on campsite location and whether it is an RV or tent space.
