I loved this small campground right by the lake and close to Boise. It was great.

Very well maintained park with hard working staff. Our experience was dampen by the enormous number of flies which were unabated. Having booked our site weeks in advance and taking the only unreserved spot for a Wednesday/Thursday stay we were also astonished to find no other campers were occupying their reserved spots. The host explained that this was an ongoing problem......

Quiet campsite with amazing views of trees and water below. Level, smooth tenting spot and nice picnic table.

You get what you pay for. The reservoir is woefully low and inaccessible. The RV camping/parking area is all gravel and along the road opposite of the lake. It was super hot that day too. I'd say take a pass.

Water was super low could not swim. Also was like camping on a busy street. We left.

There are five RV spots in the upper campground. There is little shade, and it can be hot in the summer months. You should bring your own water as the available water is from a hand-pump well. Filling an RV tank is almost impossible from such a supply. The campground is really oriented towards tent camping, with nice shady spots down at the lake with docks for each site. In two days staying there, we never saw the camp host once. Overflow parking is on the main road. But non-campers use these spaces for daytime access to the lake. If you have a boat and tow vehicle to park, you have to wait until the illegally parked day visitors leave. The single vault toilet was clean and usable.

We love camping at Mack’s Creek. It’s nice that the park has gone exclusively for campers and not day use users. There needs to be more help for the 1 camp host who is so busy on the weekends and gone Tue and Wed.

- Advance reservations are required for all sites.

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.
