Really cool spot, however the pictures made it look like the spots were drive-up and they were not. Be aware these plots are for tents only. (Spots that are not for RV’s)

Super easy place to get to and set up. It’s nice that there is trees between each spot as it makes you feel a little more separated. Beautiful views.

There wasn't a tag that my site showing my reservation. An old reservation tag was posted on my site. Another camper was in my site when I arrived with no sign of leaving. I parked at the tent parking lot and gave them an hour to leave my reserved site. There wasn't anyone in #4 and no mention of a reservation. All the other sites had occupants - a rare occurrence. Later that day, a single lady showed up in site #4 and told me she had that site reserved until Friday morning. No sign of a reservation posted. She told me she travelled to Gowen Field to work each day and was sleeping in her car. Because there wasn't a notice of her reservation on the site and no camp host on duty, I told some campers that it was reserved before they were all set up. They assumed they could camp there because there wasn't any notice of it being reserved.
It was little annoying for me to have to "police" her site though I didn't want her to arrive after working to find someone else set up at her site.
One very positive thing, the toilet was very clean with plenty of toilet paper.
I camp 2 -3 times there a year.

We made reservations way in advance. When we arrived, there was already a camper fully set up and apparently had been there for a while. The ranger “apologized” but obviously did not do their job properly because EVERY OTHER rec.gov site we have booked in the past made sure there was a reserved sign on each of our campsites. They should have gone though the reservation system and checked ahead for future reservations. Fortunately the person we were traveling with had the campsite next to us and there was enough room for both small campers. It was very frustrating.

General
- Advance reservations are required for all sites.
- CHECK IN: Upon arrival, campers should check in with the camp host. If the host is unavailable, please keep your electronic reservation confirmation handy for verification by Park Rangers on patrol. All visitors may be asked to show ID and/or proof of reservation upon check-in. Site reservations cannot be transferred upon arrival.
- LATE ARRIVAL. Please phone the Lake Office at (208) 343-0671 to notify park staff of your late arrival. You may also leave a message for the Camp Host and Park Rangers at (208) 455-4281, who will check this voicemail before releasing No-Show sites. Failure to appear at a reserved campsite in the first 24 hours will result in the release of that site with additional charges applying.
- Upon checkout, reservation holders are expected to depart Macks Creek Campground. Lingering Day Use activities and late departures from the campground are not permitted. If you have reserved the campsite with the intention to leave in the evening do not intend to return for the remainder of your reservation, please notify the host, park staff, or Lake Office so we may open up the campsite upon your departure for future use.
- Parking is extremely limited. To ensure all reserved campers are accomodated, please see individual site notes for the maximum number of people allowed in each site. If your group is larger, reserve additional sites. Sites 1-5 park within their site or nearby unassigned areas. Site 6 has three assigned parking stalls. Sites 7, 8, 11 and 12 have two assigned parking stalls each, Group Site 9 has four parking stalls, and Sites 13-15 have one parking stall each (but are located near a large unassigned shoulder parking area).
- Docks are shared and not assigned to sites.
- Unreserved Day Use is NOT permitted May-Sept. The campground is reservation only May-September and closed to vehicle traffic the remainder of the year. Due to the limited amount of space available and parking, unreserved day use is not allowed. The rest of the lake is open to day use and nearby attractions are- Arrowrock Dam, 5-mile, Naked Rock, and Spring Shores Marina.
- Macks Creek Campground is a high demand area. If you do not intend to use your reservation, ensure cancellation is prompt so we may open up the sites to people who wish to use the site. No-show fees will apply after 24 hours.
- Verizon LTE is available at the Camp Host site. The nearest other cellular service is T-Mobile (three miles away at Mile Marker 1 of Arrowrock Road). An emergency phone pedestal is also located near the Camp Host site to report emergencies and make free local calls by speakerphone.
