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.

Very neat campground with spacious sites. We loved the hiking trails nearby with the creeks to climb over and around. Our boys loved exploring, finding caterpillars, frogs, and woodpeckers. The pump water was great, and it was nice to have a bear-safe trash bin to securely put trash each night. The toilet was a typical hole-with-a-seat, but seemed to be kept up well (and included toilet paper). Overall a great campsite!

We love Edna Creek. It's beautiful, mountainous, and the creek makes it perfect. We hike the road and the trails, we've seen deer and all kinds of squirrels. There's beautiful birds everywhere. And it's only 2 hours from Boise.

The pictures are nothing like the campsite. It's not flat. The bathroom is clean. But other than that's a no go for me. Some campsites need to be fixed up at least the tables. Them sums a bit**es are crooked.
