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.

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.

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 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.

We stay at Macks Creek at least once a year. The camp hosts this year were very pleasant and were working hard to keep the area clean. However, although the area is posted for campers use only, there were people parking in our reserved spot and using the picnic shelters for day use the whole time we were there. The park rangers were seen buy us only twice in the 4 days we stayed. They need to make a few more trips through the camp and make sure only reserved patrons are using the sites. Some people came late in the evenings and camped in vacant sites and left in the morning. Maybe the staff needs to go back to issuing parking permits?

Loved this Camp spot. It’s the only one of the RV spots that’s not directly next to the road. It was great having the sitting area elevated behind the main spot that gave us more privacy and better views.

- 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.
