Chief Timothy Park Camp Store
Chief Timothy Park sits on an island on the Snake River, known as the "Gateway to Hells Canyon Recreation Area." The campground has shade trees and lawn. There is a beautiful day use area as well as swimming beach, boat launch, and 5 docks for your boating use. All roads in the park are paved and all sites have picnic tables and fire pits. We feature 4 camping cabins, tent sites and full hook up pull thru sites for R.V's. There are 4 restroom buildings in the park, 3 with hot showers.
The cabins – which offer sleeping platforms, a porch, and air conditioning – were selected as on of the Top 25 most unique cabins in the United States in 2009. They are nestled into the hillside overlooking the beautiful Snake River. There is a convenience store located within Chief Timothy Park.
Visitors can see unique geologic features as well as many species of wildlife in the area. The land was once settled by the Nez Perce Tribe, and the park is named after a tribal chief.
Both Little Goose and Lower Granite Dam feature fish viewing rooms that allow guests an up-close look at the many species of fish in the Lower Snake River. Lower Granite Lock and Dam also has a visitor center that offers movies, interactive displays, brochures and guided tours.
