Dog Creek (ID)

We loved this campground. Was super clean and the area with the creek was beautiful. Did t realize I booked a double site, but it was definitely big enough for us. We will definitely be back to Dog Creek.

NO TRAILER FRIENDLY! Site 011 and 010 are NOT trailer friendly and should be labeled as a DOUBLE SITE, as they share the same parking space. In site 011, a trailer's door faces parking (and back side of trailer) for site 010 AND leaves little room between trailers. Trailer in site 011 WOULD NOT be able to fully extend the awning if it has one. Sites 010 &011 are best for tents only.

Nice, clean and quite campground.

Shortly after arrival we talked with the camp host about changing camp sites. They were very accomdating. Also the camp hosts kept the toilets cleaner than anywhere I have ever been. I hope they get to come back next year.

Great campground! Perfect distance between the reservoir and hot springs. Deb and Ed were great hosts!
We had site 02 which backed to the creek. We were able to fit 4 tents, and three cars no problem. Loved that there were two large tables and prep station. Will be coming back next year!

The camp hosts were extremely kind and helpful in every way!

Water: There are three water spigots in the campground that all work.

Bathrooms: There are two vault toilets in the campground. The one closer to the main road does get some extra use from people who camp outside the campground by the river. We used the one further in and it was kept very clean.

Site arrangement: Site 8 is the camp host. Sites 10 and 11 are right next to each other with site 9 directly across the road. So if you have two families, sites 10 and 11 are perfect to book together; if you're booking 1 site I would avoid 10 & 11 because your neighbor will be right next to you. Sites 2, 5, & 7 have Dog Creek behind which is fun for kids to play in.

Site amenities: Each site has a relatively new fire ring, a metal platform/table for your stove, a picnic table, and a post you could hang a lantern from.

Berries: The thimbleberries were excellent this time of year. We even found a few black raspberries.

Burn Piles: It looks like the burn piles other reviewers have mentioned have been burned, so they are less of an issue.

Hosts: The camp hosts are friendly and fantastic. Some of the best camp hosts I've ever interacted with.

Activities: Even though Google Maps says the nearby Johnson Bridge Hot Springs are closed, lots of people were out enjoying them along the river. The trail along Green Creek is a nice hike with decent berry patches.

Weather: It can hit 100 degrees here. We got lucky and it didn't.

Internet: The Pine Cafe in Pine has good WiFi.

Camp hosts were awesome, clean facilities, beautiful spots. But watch your trash cans as skunks like to get into them. :)

Loved this campsite.
