About Edna Creek Campground

Edna Campground is located 56 miles northeast of Boise, Idaho, in a scenic Ponderosa Pine forest along Highway 21 at an elevation of 5,700 feet. Historic Idaho City is just 18 miles south. This campground contains 11 sites. Picnic tables, utility tables, and fire rings are provided, along with two vault toilets and a water pump. The site is in an open area with shade. Parking spurs are graveled. Due to its proximity to the highway, some noise from passing traffic is to be expected. Highway 21, also known as the Ponderosa Pine Scenic Byway, snakes along Mores Creek to Mores Creek Summit, Gold Fork, and Banner Ridge with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and forest. Numerous trail opportunities are in the area, offering hiking, biking, horseback riding, and ATVing. In winter, the area becomes a playground for backcountry skiers and snowmobilers.

I dont camp this close to a highway, but stop at this one all the time. Its very easy to get to, bathrooms are generally clean, and if you want to ride side by sides, it is a great starting point.

2019: I'd leave a 1 start rating - to try to discourage more people from attending, BUT IT WOULD BE A HUGE LIE! My Family and I loved it!
2025: The Campground looks absolutely amazing after the remodel! We again had a great time, loved playing in the creek, sitting around the campfire and just playing games. Edna did lose a star because the bathroom pit toilets could not smell any worse, not sure what happened with the ventilation, but as new and clean as they are, they are the worst smelling pit toilets I have ever been in (and I have been in many).

Arrived on Monday of holiday weekend. The toilet area was especially fowl smelling….depite being so new.
Rock/bolder placements still making backing in trailer very tricky

We tried all summer to get into Edna Creek Campground. It was always reserved weeks out. We checked the last weekend open and the site was available so we reserved it. We spent the entire weekend. It was perfect. We have fond memories of that camping trip. We will definitely camp there again. Thank you.

Cute little campground! This spot specifically was very open and didn't have much privacy. Found a few trails nearby via Apple Maps to hike with my dog :)

Issue with people in our reserved spot upon arrival. Info board in campground doesn’t show guests what checkin/check out times are!!!

Since we had been here before they have upgraded the campsites and the outhouses. Very nice campground now. Outhouses were nice and clean and it was a very quiet and peaceful trip.

We were really disappointed when we arrived at this camp site. The foilage was over grown and there wasn't a creek, but a stream that you could barely even get to. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting, they were full, out of toilet paper and smelled so bad you couldn't even walk in them for more than a few seconds. The forest Rangers that came through twice were teenagers and rude. We ended up leaving and going and finding another spot that we could enjoy as a family. Don't waste your money, nor go off of the pictures.

We had a wonderful time at Edna Creek. It was nice to be away from all the hustle and bustle that you get with the more known campsites. The kids had a fun time playing in the creek and exploring the trails.
