French Creek campground offers a charming and well-maintained environment with friendly hosts and clean bathrooms, making it a pleasant place for camping. Many visitors enjoyed the spaciousness of the sites, particularly those with creek access, and appreciated the peaceful atmosphere despite some close proximity to other campers. However, some reviews noted issues with bugs and darkness, as well as concerns about wildlife interactions, which may affect comfort for some families.

This is a nice campground! It was really buggy, but that’s to be expected when the lakeshore is as marshy as it was. Don’t expect stellar lake access — it exists, but it’s very swampy and not fit for launching a boat or hanging out. The campground itself was quiet and relatively clean. We spent two nights in two different spots, each of which had plenty of space and good tent pads. It’s nearby a pretty loud and dusty road, so not quiet. The camp hosts were not very friendly. Beware that lake access for hanging out or getting in the water is very limited all around Lake Cascade! But overall, it’s a beautiful spot and we had a nice weekend.

Lower French creek is not anywhere I would ever go. This is where our original spot was. Upon arrival the camp host dog came out running around us barking. The host could not recall her dog and it ran around flared up barking at my kids and tried getting in the truck where my wife and dog was. At this point I asked the host if we could switch spots because of her dog. She seemed offended but said I could go look for any first come spots. We found a beautiful spot at the upper grounds. The host was the main issue with our visit.

French creek is a great spot, the downside is there is little to no lake access there for swimming. The water at dock nearby was gross and very buggy. It’s also located next to the road so there are consistently cars passing through (even during the middle of the night). Hosts were very nice & walked the campground frequently. Scenery is beautiful

From Boise, Idaho, travel north on Highway 55 for 85 mi to Cascade. Turn west on Old State Highway and go a half-mile to Lakeshore Drive. Turn south and travel 3 mi to West Mountain Road. Turn west and follow the road 5 mi to the campground.
