Taidnapam Park

Taidnapam Park is located at the east end of Riffe Lake in a unique location well off the beaten path. Taidnapam is all about car camping and fishing. Whether you fish from a dock or from a boat, they come from afar to camp and fish here. Riffe Lake is loaded with cutthroat, rainbow and brown trout, as well as coho salmon, steelhead and bass. Located in a forested setting, the RV sites are plentiful, while there are only 24 walk in tent sites for tent campers. Reservations are open between mid-may to mid-September while you will probably be ok for first come, first-served the rest of the year. Tent campers will enjoy the coin-operated showers and nice restrooms in this open all year campground. All campsites have fire rings and picnic tables. The day-use area offers picnic tables, grills, horseshoes, swimming, outdoor showers and kids play equipment.
