Lovely and quiet campground with beautiful sunsets. A river to explore just down the hill and hot springs a 3 minute drive away!

Nice campground, less than 1-hour drive from Boise. Well-maintained facilities, clean toilets. Walking access to Mores creek. 5-minute drive to Idaho city gas station and stores. Hot springs near Idaho city is a “must do”.
The campground is located really close to the highway, so some Boise from the cars may spoil the otherwise great camping experience for some. Also, the fire pits are very deep which makes grilling a bit of a chore, bring lots of charcoal and firewood.

Beautifully maintained campground with easy access to all campsite’s. Close proximity to town of Idaho city which has a lovely, by reservation only, hot springs. Campsite has plenty of readily available firewood and water.

They site was clean and well maintained. Close enough to Idaho City so if you forgot something you could grab it, the hot springs were just @3/4 mile away. Enough trails for some beautiful hiking. Lucky Peak is only a 30 minute drive and so much more. The camp host was very friendly for how many sites he had to check on. And the RV dump outside Idaho City was very convenient also.
