About
BLM campground. The Spring Recreation Site, or Spring Rec for short, is a camping and fishing location off the beaten path away from the crowds. Spring Rec sits on the banks of Brownlee Reservoir, a 52-mile long reservoir on the Snake River. The reservoir is known for its large channel catfish, abundant crappie, and good bass fishing. The RV and tent camping sites, boat launch, boarding dock, and fish cleaning station all create a comfortable camping and fishing experience. Spring Rec is ideal for the angler, those who love the outdoors, or for those just looking for a scenic getaway.
