Welcome to Sundown RV Park and Campground, conveniently located right in the town of Grangeville. We are within walking distance of restaurants, grocery store/deli, Family Dollar Store, a department store, hospital and churches. Although a small town, Grangeville is by far the largest within an hour and a half, and has many more amenities than the smaller towns in the area. Most cell phones can get reception in Grangeville, and we have free WIFI.
As new owners we knew this little park needed some TLC and improvements so we got to work. So far we have added new gravel, signs, electrical meters, and 4 retaining walls, flower planters, and have worked hard to clean and spruce up the property.

Deyo Reservoir Campground
16. Deyo Reservoir Campground
34km from Nez Perce National Historical Park · 1 unit
Weippe is a unique destination steeped in history, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Nez Perce people and the early fur trading era. Originally documented as “Oy-ipe” by General Oliver Otis Howard during his 1877 campaign against the Nez Perce, the name has various interpretations, with some historians suggesting it means “very old place.” The Nez Perce language adds layers of meaning, with “oy” translating to “all,” while the significance of “iap” remains a mystery. Local lore also hints at connections to natural springs or camas grounds, making the name's origin a topic of ongoing debate.
Following the Corps of Discovery's expedition, the fur trading industry flourished in Idaho, and the discovery of gold by E.D. Pierce in 1860 sparked a rush to the area in 1861. The Homestead Act further encouraged settlement, leading to Weippe's growth and development. Incorporated in December 1964, Weippe is situated along the Gold Rush Historic Byway on Idaho Highway 11.
The Weippe Prairie, one of Idaho's eight registered national landmarks, is part of the National Lewis & Clark Historic Trail. This picturesque level meadow, bordered by lush forests, features Jim Ford’s Creek

In the early 2000s, the couple expanded their offerings by launching a jet boat tour company, further enhancing the adventure experience for their guests.
After Heather's passing in 2018, their daughter, Kortney Killgore Smith, took over the family legacy, renaming the campground Salmon River Resort.

Overview
About
The park headquarters for this National Historical Park may be in Idaho, but the park itself is spread across four states. There are 38 different sites to visit. Learn about the Nez Perce tribe when you watch the fascinating film at the Visitor's Center. You can also see what a Nez Perce tipi was like and pay your respects at the cemetery. Overall, you're likely to come away with a different perspective on the history of the West.
Make sure to set aside enough time to view the amazing quillwork and beadwork of the Nez Perce. If your timing is right, you can also watch some demonstrations in action—watching an artist with an array of native flutes, for instance.
Is hiking your thing? Grab a trail map at the Visitor Center, and set out to explore. The Canoe Camp connects you to the Lewis and Clark Exposition. You can also stroll the short trails around the Spalding Visitor Center to visit the various ruins. You might even see a wild turkey.
The beautiful lawns here are a great place to toss around a Frisbee or have a picnic lunch. If you want to explore the monument for several days, hit up Hipcamp to find ranch and riverside campsites in this region.
