OUR RATING (1-5): Category III. Rating 2.
NOTES: Camping is in a
parking lot above a boat ramp. Definitely just an overnight spot. There are pit toilets but they were locked
when we were there at the end of September.
There are a couple of tent camp sites.
We were the only people when we stopped.
This might not be a good option from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

wooded area

Verizon extremely poor 1x-1bar
Location: The
turn off of ID-3 is easy to miss. Exit
I-90 at Exit 34 in Idaho. Turn south on ID-3 and go 1.6 miles to Watson Rd.
Turn right onto Watson Rd. About a half
mile down there is a sign pointing left to the boat ramp. Turn left here. (47.554498

Proximity to shopping: the town of Rose Lake is a few
miles south
Camping Population:
Not really a camping area. Parking lot probably full of local boat
trailers much of the year.
Sites: No
sites. You are in a parking area for
boat trailers.

| It was a rainy, overcast evening, so the picture doesn't do the lake justice. |
