We loved staying at Grayback. There were so many places you could put up a tent. We were at the group site which comfortably fit all 25 of us.

As always we had a great time. The campground and it's amenities are clean. Close to Idaho City to take a visit in the shops and walk the town.

Toilet paper in short supply. Never saw a Camp Host in 4 days and what happened to the hand sanitizer?

The area is nice and it is easy to get around on foot. The access road is really narrow. We enjoyed the woods and the camp was quiet. We like to fish, but all the access points we found to the creek were posted. The area information said that campers enjoy fishing Mores Creek, but we could not find where this was possible. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.

Spot 5 has a great view of the mountains across the valley. It’s a quiet spot, with neighbors not super close. The water pump is directly across the road, and not too far from. The bathrooms.
