Here are a number of pictures of our trip to the Three Meadows Group Campground part of Dworshak State Park in preparation for our daughter’s wedding. This nice group campground is about three miles beyond the Freeman Creek Campground part of Dworshak State Park. Our pictures of Freeman Creek show more of the road leading to the park. There are links at the bottom of the page for Freeman Creek and a map with directions to the area.

We wound up having our daughter’s wedding at this group campground in July of 05 and things worked out quite well. We found it to be reasonably priced, the facilities were convenient, and everyone had a good time.

(1)This picture was taken inside the kitchen at Three Meadows campground lodge. The view is from the kitchen towards the serving area.

(2)This view is towards the dish washing machine. I will probably be spending a lot of time here. Let's hope we won't need the fire extinquisher.

(3)This view is towards the buffet serving counters with the kitchen in the background. You can see the stove and oven units. The kitchen is all electric.

(4)This is the dining area where there are pool, foos ball, and ping pong tables.

(5)Looking from the dining area towards the serving area. The fire place and hearth separates the dining and serving areas.

(9)Where have I seen these kinds of trays before? There are regular dishes around somewhere.

(12)This is one of the cabins. It is the one they call the headquarters cabin.

(14)The headquarters cabin is the only one with a bathroom and shower in it. It is handy for elderly campers or group leaders.

(15)Another view inside the headquarters cabin.

(21)This is a view inside one of the regular cabins. You can see the two rooms with bunk beds.

(22)This is a view inside the women's restroom. There is room to leave stuff on the counter and a shelf at the other side of the room.

(23)Here are the toilets.

(24)These are the showers.

(25)There is a washer and dryer in the women's restroom.

(28)Jumping around a little, here is the RV parking area near one of the cabins. Beth and I are going to put our 5th wheel trailer here.

(29)One of the tent camping areas. This is not far from the restrooms.

(30)This is the parking area kind of west and north of the lodge. That is our old tan pickup parked there. To the right is where the caretakers have their RVs.

(31)Here are the caretakers RVs just to the right of where we are parked.

(32)Here it is, guys! There really is a men's restroom.

(33)There is a path that runs somewhere around the area.

(34)This is the meadow area south of the lodge. I think you can see the volleyball court way in the background.

(37)A nice campfire area is located just south of the theater area. One of the meadows is in the background.

(39)The campfire area. Bonfires are only allowed inside this area and after 6PM.

(40)A short walk south of the lodge is this amphitheater area. You can see the stand for the projector and what they use for a screen. This is where we plan to hold the wedding. The seating will handle quite a few folks.

(41)The volleyball net.

(42)Another view of the campfire area.

(43)Basketball court. I don't remember if it is a full or half court.

(49)A view of the horeshoe area looking back to the lodge.

(50)Another view of the patio area by the lodge showing a barbeque.

(51)Yet another view of the patio area looking towards one of the cabins.

(52)This little bridge takes you on the short walk south of the lodge towards the amphitheater, campfire, and meadow areas.

(53)This is the front and south side of the lodge.

(54)Another view of the amphitheater area.

(56)This is the dock at the end of the 1/4 mile winding road.

(57)The lake.

(58)A picnic table by the lake.

(59)The lake on the other side of the dock.

(60)Our old pickup parked by the dock area.

(61)The road behind us as we leave the dock area.

(62)The road in front of us as we leave the dock area.

(63)Me and the old pickup as we leave the dock area.

(73)The volleyball net looking north from the road leaving the campground.

(74)This is the basketball hoop looking north as we leave the area. It looks like just a half court.

(78)This is a shot of the lake from the road as we leave Three Meadows Campground.

(79)Another shot of the lake from the road.

(80)A shot through the windshield looking up the road as we leave. This road doesn’t look like much of a problem when you are just driving it with a pickup or a car. However, when we were bringing our 29 foot 5th wheel trailer into the last couple of miles towards Three Meadows, we found that some of these curves can be a little tight. On one of the curves, it was a good thing I was watching my mirror on the right side because I almost hit the guard rail. I had to back up and try again. On the way out, I had the same problem on the left side at the same curve. It turns out that there was some brush on the inside of this curve that sticks out into the road a little bit. You have to actually get quite close to the brush to make the curve. A regular trailer wouldn’t be as much of a problem because the pivot point is farther back. It might not be a good idea to bring a trailer in at night because it would be hard to see the side of a trailer with your mirrors. Also, the folks at the park try to prevent two way traffic on the road between Freeman Creek and Three Meadows.
