Bad Bear Campground

We recently camped at Bad Bear, It is a very small campground only 6 sites, it's very clean and beautiful area. We have a large 5th Wheel and we stayed in Site #1. It is the longest, widest, with ease/room to back in. The only thing is this site is next to highway 21. Though it was not bad with noise or anything, the only concern I can see is if someone has small kids or pets that tend to wander. It was nicely shaded and we would definitely stay again at this campground! Highly recommend for a quick getaway camping trip.

Site 6 is right by road, site 2 is much better

Always a pleasant stay at Bad Bear. Enjoyed some rain, hail, and 30 degree June nights by the roaring campfire. Campsite was clean and quiet.

nice spot to stay the night. Close to Boise. Kids had fun.

We love Bad Bear!!! It's so quiet, great for exploring.

Had a double site. Enjoyed a fire and creek side lounging. Much cooler and less smoke than boise in august.

too close to highway. Pretty loud.

Great spot! Lots of trees for shade and a little area for splashing. Went during the week and campground was empty.

It was a great campsite, and we plan on going back there again. It's fairly close to Idaho City, but out enough that it still feels like you are out of civilization which is always a plus for me. The bathroom is well maintained, and the whole area was very clean! There are a few paths up the mountain that were fun to explore with my kids and dog, although they are fairly steep at times. There is a stream nearby with a toppled over log that we were able chill around when it got a bit warmer during the afternoon. Overall, it's one of the better sites we have been to in awhile!

Had a very relaxing campout and the sound of more's creek it put me to sleep in a very short time. The campground was very nice and the restroom had plenty of toilet paper. Spent two nights and had a really great time. Would do it again!
