"Winchester Lake State Park is a popular spot if you enjoy fishing for rainbow trout, catfish, or the elusive Tiger Muskie. Other activities during the summer include hiking, mountain biking or meandering around the lake in a canoe or other craft. Winter activities include cross country skiing, snowshoeing and ice fishing.If you spend the night in Tamarack, our deluxe yurt, you can enjoy the two included bicycles on a ride around the park. All four of our yurts have a canoe included during the summer and snowshoes during the winter. Or stay in one of several peaceful campsites surrounded by beautiful Ponderosa pines with a number of sites having a view of the lake."

We camped in our small Class A first few weeks in June: weather is very iffy, there was a LOT of rain & thunderstorms, once school lets out there are large groups of families, kids and dogs, so don’t expect peaceful camping. The quiet hours are observed though. The sites are not level and there is no sewer or dump within the park, but there is a sewer dump a few miles into the town of Winchester. Having said all that, the park is well maintained, they have very nice and helpful volunteers and rangers, several nice hiking trails, fishing and non-motorized boating, picnic table, fire ring, clean showers and bathroom facilities. It really is a beautiful state park and generally quiet.
Great campground. Clean sites. Lots of mature trees. Excellent shower facility. Yurts are a neat option for groups with individuals who don't have a tent/RV. Yurt renters have access to canoe and propane grill. Man-made lake shallow and green with algae. Not great for swimming. Nice hiking/biking trails around the lake and through the forest with educational signage. Amphitheater is nice and operates on Saturday nights. Companion sites too small to fit 2 trailers comfortably. Certainly not with tow vehicles. If you have a visitor arriving after hours be sure to bring exact change in cash to pay for parking or you will get a ticket from an ambitious and unforgiving park ranger.
Beautiful large lake that only allows non-motorized vehicles - leads to calm waters that are great for fishing or floating around! Well-maintained camping spots, including showers and flushing toilets, create an awesome getaway! Would highly recommend and definitely return!
Went for a family gathering, was great for a state park. Great scenery, lots of fish, big turtles.
Went to Ponderosa side, only $7 to get in. Well kept, clean park with a dock for swimming/fishing. Family had a blast will definitely return. Went on a Thursday and only two other cars were there. Has a nice little park with two swings, a small rock wall, and a couple slides.
We stayed at the Ponderosa yurt. It is amazing. The yurt was great since the weather turned almost freezing and they have heaters installed. The fishing was fantastic. Limited out on trout most days. Also caught several small perch, a bunch of really fat blue gills, and a single white crappie. Saw lots of beautiful wild flowers. Hiked several trails. The yurt came with access to a canoe so we spent some time in the water during the good weather. Also a great place for birders, as we saw several varieties. The area is gorgeous and so serene. A must visit location in the great big beautiful outdoors of northern Idaho.
Haven't stayed here yet, but we love to play at the playground and hike around this lake. The Clearwater Trekkers have gone snowshoeing here, and the kids love it. Great place for ice fishing in the winter, snowshoeing, hiking, fishing, canoeing, and just generally hanging out.
We absolutely enjoyed this State Park Very well kept with great campsites Lots of amenities including a gift shop Three loops two with services and one loop dry camping. Easy to navigate with a 30 foot 5th wheel. We will return for several more trips
A fun place to spend the day playing in and around the water with the family. I wish the day use side of the park had more information about the park itself. It would be nice to read about the history of the area as well as the flora, fauna, and wildlife in the area.
I thought this was a great place to stay. We stayed for two weeks. Wish they had dumps in camp but did not. They had bathrooms which were okay and showers. The water never gets too warm. I don’t mind a brisk shower though. Great fishing. Caught trout, bluegill, catfish, perch, and bass. They have activities for the kids some evenings. Overall a pretty neat place to stay.
