I hiked up from Whoop-'em Up parking lot, about 17 mi north. I had the trail to myself. It was hot but scenic, with one little picturesque creek at the start of the trail.
Bring an umbrella or a popup for site 009. It's the sunniest one.

Beautiful campground. The bathrooms are fairly clean and there are a few nice walking/hiking paths nearby.
We had some noise problems with some of the other campers and couldn’t find the camp host.

Lovely campground, large spaces, quiet campers. Lovely pine scented woods and vault toilets that are mini-log cabins. 2 mi from all services in quaint western, gold mining/hot springs town of Idaho City. One hour from Boise on beautiful winding highway.

Nice campground near time. I've heard it was overrun with kids riding bikes around the loop, but this was my second visit and so far I haven't seen too much of that behavior. There are some nice trails leading out from the campground. There was water (thank you) and TP and trash which makes life a bit easier.

Great quiet campground. Close to the highway so we could hear the occasional car but wasn’t obnoxious. Short walk to Mores Creek and many hiking trails by. Paved parking areas at each site. Bathrooms were clean and well built. Will return

Great campground! Paved roads are nice for kids to ride bikes or scooters. Lots of shade and sites aren’t too close to each other.

Sites were very well kept. Bathrooms did not smell which was surprising for vault toilets. We fit our 35 ft motorhome in site 1 without difficulty.

Our site was beautiful, pine trees and plenty of shade for the 100+ degree weather. There were good hiking trails and after our 3.5 hour hike the creek was nice to cool off in. It was very peaceful and quiet, we will definitely be back.
