Have to say, this might be the nicest RV Park we've visited in Idaho. Lush green grass, water and power hookups with a dump site available. Clean bathroom/shower house, a wonderful gift shop, and a large laundry room. A comfy sitting area with computers and television occupies one end of the lodge. Will definitely return next year on our way to Challis for the Braun Brothers Reunion Concert.

Wagon hammer was one of the better RV parks we've ever stayed at. The spaces are really big and there's plenty of room with trees and grass.

Really nice park. Definitely would return. Nice and clean restrooms laundry area clean. The front row on the river really nice but no sewer hookups. We had full hookups but the trees in this area are really a mess. Flowering Plum berries made a real mess of table and patio area. Very nice staff!

Decent park next to the Salmon River. Clean bathrooms and showers. Place isn't real kid friendly, but of you have dogs they will enjoy the large off leash island.

This camp site is very nice. Easy to pull in even with a big rig. The people running the desk and management were really who made the experience awesome though. We booked for two nights and ended up having to leave early because my son got sick. The management kindly refunded the second day due to the circumstance even though it was clearly part of their policies. I didn't expect them to be so generous but the favor will be remembered and I'll be sure to recommend them to all my friends and family! I'll also be returning next summer. Thanks Wagonhammer!
