Macks Creek Campground

We took our 4 year old grandson to the lake and he had a blast. It’s a perfect place for him to play in the water and sand. Stopped to let the person on duty know we were there. He was out checking things. Love that they watch everything.
Talked to the Park Ranger as well.

Awesome little campsite. We randomly found this place while passing through and we were lucky enough to snag the last campsite. It was a wonderful surprise. We stayed in one of the RV spots right along the road. It’s a short walk to a lovely little beach area right on the lake. Very clean and luckily it was very quiet when we came. We would love to come back for a longer stay sometime.

We had a wonderful end of season family day!
Sad it’s probably our last trip to Mack’s Creek this summer. Had a great time and the camp host was very nice.

Hi. We went to Mack creek (first time) the location was great. However, when I attempted to check in was met with impatient grumpy temp host, he softened when I said unsure about check in process, told me to park and have fun. It was a fun weekend.

It was a good experience for me and my kids. everything was great the scenic I mean everything the swimming we did have a skunk come to our spot and eat some bread, lol but that was about it. Other than that I recommend we wanna go again and so yeah. Great place for camping beautiful site. The water was great. The dogs were great. Everything loved seeing the boats nature. It was a very good experience. We definitely wanna go again.

Great spot grandkids haha ball can't wait till next year to do it for a week

We had a large group, we ended up day camping and not overnight camping due to a monsoon weather advisory and the smoke filled sky. Even with all that, we enjoyed our time at Mack’s Creek and on the water at Lucky Peak. The only downside is pit toilets, it would be a great upgrade to have flush toilets.

Great spot so close to Boise. My only complaint is that people were driving by at all hours of night which was loud.

None

I was pretty upset that when spot 13 was available for one night, I booked it. Just to have a campfire dinner and sleep under the stars when these all are usually booked. I wanted spot 14 or 15 with gorgeous views but they were booked. I was stuck with a back campsite and had to look at two premium sites with absolutely no one there for the whole reserved spots. This is happening all over Idaho, everywhere. Reserved spots with empty camps. When are we going to fix this, and please, if you're not going to show up for camp spots... Let the camp know so if someone who love to appreciate the wilderness, scenery and lake can actually rent the best spot. I don't have money to book sites all over Idaho to use just in case I go, WTH. Reserving has become worse than first comes first served. Camps show booked, you get there, they're empty. There are cutoff times to report, then let camp host charge one night walk-in people and Idaho could earn extra, instead of letting no show blowhards block decent campers that beg and prey for a romantic nice spot for a special occasion. Be decent, Idaho be smart. System doesn't have to be broken, fix it please.
3rd generation Boise born, you yourselves know the issue, give back camp sites to people who are happy to enjoy their share of the wild, and flag no shows who don't cancel often. Bar them after time to first come. Sorry, but if you can't make it, it doesn't mean you can't be decent and cancel so we have better choices. Idaho, people who reserve are supposed to notify the camp reservation as to when their later arrival will be. If they don't do that and it's clearly stated to do so by a certain time before evening, then it's both your responsibilities. It's so sad that it's so hard to reserve spots that you want to share with others and yet we're sitting in the back. I reserved it anyways, I will enjoy outside and nature regardless. Fix this please.
