RV rental Clarkston, WA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Clarkston and Lewiston are the kind of “Last Place on Earth” towns that you might see in a good Hollywood movie. And that’s for good reason. The towns are the jumping off point for a trip down the Snake River as it winds through Hells Canyon. The 10-mile-wide gorge meanders through the relatively unpopulated area between Washington, Oregon, and Idaho and plunges more than a mile below the western Oregon rim. At over 650,000-acres, the Hells Canyon Recreation Area is a great place to lose yourself for a few days among the rugged scenery and wild animals such as bald eagles, long-horned sheep, and elk. The centerpiece of the park is the Snake River which whips itself into a series of Class I-IV rapids that will leave you battered and breathless. There are several guide services in Clarkston and Lewiston which feature four-, five-, and six-day outings complete with camp-cooked meals and nights under the impossibly bright stars. Faster jaunts are offered by the many jet-boat tour services in Clarkston and Lewiston which offer half or full day, hair-raising trips down the Snake and its tributaries. Chartered fishing trips are also offered, with local experts sharing their secret spots for you to pull out some impressive steelhead and trout, perfect for a shore lunch. Or, take your chances with one of the monster sturgeon that dwell in the fast-moving depths. Visitors and locals have reported wrestling with sturgeon up to 13-feet long and it’s not uncommon to hook several of these behemoths a day in parts of Hells Canyon. If Hells Canyon isn’t far enough out there for you, take a trip in your Clarkston camper rental to St Joe National Forest, two hours east of Lewiston in the Idaho Panhandle. St. Joe contains over 1,350 square miles of mountains, canyons, and forests, and your Clarkston, WA motorhome rental will provide the perfect way to experience them. St. Joe is packed with Blue Ribbon cutthroat trout streams, wild and scenic rivers, and is renowned for its extensive elk herds. Hikers, backcountry horseback riders, and ATV enthusiasts have thousands of miles of backcountry trails and roadless primitive areas to explore. Most of the campgrounds in the park are located adjacent to the scenic St. Joe River, and among them, there’s not a bad campsite to be had.
