Hells Gate State Park – Lewiston, Idaho
The drive from Weiser to Lewiston along Hwy 95 is one of our favorite drives. From New Meadows to Whitebird the highway parallels the Little Salmon River and provides great views and wonderful rest areas (pull-offs) which are plentiful and spacious. These are great for a lunch break, a rest,

Just north of Carson City, Nevada lies the area of Washoe Lake. There is a lovely state park located on the southeast corner of the lake with two loops and 49 sites, most if not all can accommodate big rigs up to 45′. Perfect! All sites are first-come first-serve.

The area east of Peg Leg and north of S22 was taken over by Anza Borrego State Park in July 2015 which effectively means no more boondocking in that area. But a small portion off Rockhouse Trail is still available. We watched the area for a few weeks after camping

Yes, we are back. I seem to be saying that a lot lately. When you find a good thing it is difficult not to return. After spending a few weeks boondocking we headed into the state park campground for a week of pure luxury with full hookups. We love this
