Great area, lots of shade.

Arrived September 1st. A nice little spot that’s conveniently located a mere 30 minutes from Boise. We had the unfortunate luck of multiple 100 degree days which made it brutally hot with very little breeze.
Also pay attention to the Lucky Peak Lake drawdown notifications. The lake drops significantly in just two weeks and water access recedes hundreds of feet from camp vs right at your doorstep during July and early August. Best to stick to natural lakes vs managed reservoirs this late in the season.

Great sneak-away from the City. Gets real calm.
I'd use it if it was open longer.
Be Safe!

I had been unaware of this small campground only 30 mints from Boise. I usually drive an hour or more for camping, but decided on this one since my daughter is pregnant. We had a super time there. It was a Thursday evening so there were very few site occupied. It's a perfect place for a family get-together, so close to town that my kids who have to work could just come out for a night.

Great time at Macks Creek. The rangers that checked in us were wonderful. The water was extremely low so my grandkids had tons of beach to play in. Very clean and well maintained. Great experience

The campground was clean, well organized. Beautiful views of the reservoir. Minimal road noise even though it is just above the highway.

Quiet and scenic camping with limited sites, all with beautiful water views and docks for fishing or mooring a kayak, or just relaxing. Annette, the campground host, was so very helpful with check-in, and even offered us a better site that happened to be unreserved for the night. We look forward to returning.

The camp host, I think it was Annette. She was so cool! I started trying to schedule spots in December. I got 2. I think there should be some kind of lottery or you can only schedule so many nights in a row and that's it! They can't get it again. Also, my husband and I were telling her that we weren't sure if we were going to make it on Thursday last week. People do that and they don't call. If we could have a waiting list. I have lived here for 21 years and it is ridiculous. We would be up there all the time if we could ever get a spot. We love it there! Oh, this is for the RV area.
