Upper Payette Lake Campground

This is a beautiful campground. We were at a site 10, which backed to the lake. It was great to be able to walk out to the lake and sit there watching the golden eagles, ospreys and other birds. The campground was quiet and secluded from town. The vault toilets were clean. The water here was a little rusty, but we did drink it with no issues. We took a road trip to Secesh to eat at Secesh Stage Stop, which we highly recommend. We also drove up to Warren, which was a little scary, but scenic. We did not see the hosts, but the campground was well cared-for.

The camp host at this site keep the facilities and campground very clean.

Restrooms exceptionally clean. Camp host very helpful.

Our stay at Upper Payette Lake was great! Quiet campground, well maintained bathroom, beautiful view of the lake. Only thing I’d keep in mind is that the drinking water tasted very rusty. I would definitely recommend bringing your own drinking water.

The only thing is there was a bunch of potholes on the road going in. It could’ve been a little smoother, but the campground was great.

Upper Payette Lake Campground is a very lovely place to camp for a quiet get-away. My only complaint is that it seems the extra large motor home type campers get all the spots right next to the lake - not leaving any of the best spots for mere campers (with small campers or tents). Their generators upset the stillness that old-time campers would like to enjoy more.

Our camp site was great we were close to the vaulted toilets our site was clean when we arrived and very quiet,

Road in has many potholes. Get the road grader in there

Probably the worst campsite I have ever stayed at and likely the worst site at Upper Payette. Zero lake access or lake views, it’s swampy with mosquitos the size of horse flies, bears are very active in the area- we saw momma and cubs near the camp site. The camp site is basically on the side of the road and not worthy of the group site designation. I wouldn’t recommend this site to my worst enemy.

The campground is so stunning and the hosts keep the area well maintained and clean.
