Winchester Lake Campground

Search for an RV in Lewis County, and you're all set to experience why RV vacations are so unique and so popular. Start by pointing your RV rental towards Saint Joe National Forest, near the town of St. Maries. Saint Joe is a combination of partially developed and completely primitive recreational areas; there are established trails that can be used by hikers, equestrians, mountain bikers, and nature lovers in general. There is also, however, acres upon acres of area that are traversed by streams and rivers but lacking any kind of road. Visit this park, and you can challenge yourself as much or as little as you desire. Wallowa-Whitman National Forest is just a hop and a skip across the Oregon-Idaho border from Winchester Lake, and it includes a wide variety of landscapes. The elevation ranges from just a few hundred feet above sea level in the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area to almost 10,000 feet at the peaks of the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area. In addition to the usual available activities, you can downhill ski the slopes of Anthony Lakes or tube or whitewater raft through Hells Canyon. You can also hike the park and observe the numerous wildlife species that call it home, but the park is occasionally subject to prescribed (human-made) fires in the spring in order to maintain the forest, so you should check with park staff before heading out. Nez Perce – Clearwater National Forests is partially developed and partially primitive/undisturbed, making it a great destination for getting the most out of your visit. Here you will see dry, rugged canyons, cedar forests located in a drainage area, and rolling uplands, all providing habitat for a variety of wildlife. The forest is managed for recreation, timber resource, and farming, so don't be surprised if some of the “wildlife” you spot is of the domesticated variety. It has three rivers that provide excitement for kayakers and rafters, and an electric tour site initiative that places kiosks along some of the auto tour routes. These kiosks provide information about the history of the area and the routes which are also historically important
