Had a great time at Macks Creek. The campsite was clean, the facilities were great and the waterskiing was fun!

Site #13 had a good amount of shade through out the day. The parking space is directly near the site which was nice. There are 12 semi-steep stairs to haul your items down to the site and back up when leaving. Good view of the lake and near the kids beach area. The rest rooms were clean and they provided trash bags to haul out your trash as well. We did have some racoons visit the camp at night.

Mack's Creek is the perfect place for our entire family. We enjoy camping, paddling on our paddle boards, and boating on Lucky Peak reservoir. The beach area is perfect for the little kids to play in the sand.

It would be awesome if the boats would keep off the camping ramps especially if those people didn't reserve a camping spot.

Mostly clean, nice and quiet, and super convenient. I stayed here as an overnight on a longer journey, so activities and whatnot aren't part of my review. I'll happily stay here again if I'm passing through the area.

- 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.

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.
