Beautiful Campground with lots of red pine trees! Restrooms are very clean. We will definitely go back next season! Price is very reasonable for seniors. The only downfall we encountered was the water pump at the campground pumped yellow looking water so we did not use it. It stated on the website it was tested monthly so not sure why it looked so bad.

Had a very nice spot overlooking Mores Creek. Restrooms were clean and convenient. Someone cleared pinecones which was helpful. The drive up from Boise was beautiful and Idaho City is a funky fun spot just up the road with a great grocery store.

Campground was Ok ,but was in need of cleaning and maintenance. Garbage dumpster was overflowing, water was full of rust/iron and had a red tint, so we wouldn’t even let the dogs drink it. The general paved camping area was dirt covered with a layer of pine needles. I don’t think it’s ever been swept or blown off this year.
