Macks Creek Campground

Mack’s creek is a beautiful place to spend time making memories. Our camp host this year was awesome and made sure to check in with us regularly. He helped keep the area to only those who had reservations. It is a tough job at times and he handled it well. We will definitely stay here again. We have been coming here for many years and the recent changes have helped make it more enjoyable and much less crowded. It was a wonderful way to spend several days enjoying the beauty, the water, and loved ones!!

We love this campground, but it's been a few years. Apparently, the parking and use policies have been updated so that only those with a reservation can even visit the campground. I reserved the group site, thinking that we could host our "open boat" day, but got notified that we had too many people coming and going to fit the reservation. No one actually camped and we were just hanging out on the lake at the docks and staying in our campground and sharing food. Anyway, now I know, but it's a very restrictive policy. And if we do it again in the future, we will need to reserve more spots which will prevent others from being able to camp. Since the docks are "unreservable," I thought a person did not need a reservation to use them. I'm still not totally sure I understand the policy.

pretty chill and well taken care of

We always love our stay at Macks Creek. It’s a great place. Make sure you make a reservation and respect other campers.

With local temperatures in triple digits, spending a few days camping on the shore of Lucky Peak was the ticket! Having a dock adjacent to the site for boating, swimming, fishing or just sitting on to read and enjoy lake-cooled breezes is a huge benefit of this site. Our camp host was very friendly and helpful, and kept the rest rooms and camp sites very clean and orderly. While the reservation system showed all sites fully booked, we saw very few overnight campers. Sites by the water had some visitors that stayed just for the day. As promised, there is no cell service at this site, and the resident trash pandas really did a number on our unsecured food box one night! Much-enjoyed our stay here and look forward to returning.

We really love this location for family Getaways since it’s close to home. We take floating tubes, sunscreen, umbrellas, food and lots of water for the entire day/night. The beach is monitored by the host and park ranger.

HOSTILE camp “HOST”!! I cancelled ALL our future reservations for this park and I don’t plan to use again until they remove their hostile, aggressive and horrible camp “HOST” - Travis! We’ve used this park for the years it has been around and created some wonderful memories! But sadly this year the “HOST” is on a power trip and needs to be removed! The park was empty!! Totally EMPTY! And, among other things that I won’t bother to try and explain since I wouldn’t have enough room, he wouldn’t allow us to park by the dock where you launch the boats, to let our 77 year old mom out so she could walk down the easiest path!!!! His exact words were, “If I can walk up and down this after have a heart ablation, she can do it.” Are you kidding me?!!!!!!!!! This was just the beginning of the argument we ended up having with him and there is clearly NOOOOO reasoning with a guy on a power trip!!!!! I have a recording of our later interaction that I will be putting online to warn future campers. This is a HUGE problem and very unfortunate and honestly infuriating!!!! I tried to reason with him that when you have the opportunity to accommodate people why wouldn’t you?!! He couldn’t wrap his small mind around it and was beyond rude, argumentative and just plain arrogant. He clearly doesn’t care about other people at all. He should NEVER be hosting this campsite or anything for that matter. Take this review very seriously. After this happened I looked at the reviews and there is one person who took the time to leave a review whose also had a bad experience with their elderly mom! I’m sure after having TWO separate trips there where this guy has behaved the same way to us over different things, that there are other people who’ve experienced the same hostile and completely inexcusable behavior from this guy that just haven’t bothered to leave a review. Super sad and I can’t believe people can be so horrible. 😞

Safe, clean, relaxing campground.

The sites were beautiful and right on the water. The water is very low this year, as mentioned on the website but we still enjoyed a swim. There is no cell service at the site but there is service a short drive away and the campgrounds close proximity to Boise was very convenient. Overall, this was a great site!

Great views from the campsite. Some noise from the adjacent road, but the area was easy to get to.
