Dog Creek (ID)

When your neighbor in Dog Creek has a generator that sounds like someone shaking a jar with pennies in it makes the experience miserable. My camping experiences are always good unless the camper next to me has a loud generator. If you can see the generator's engine, you have the wrong unit for Dog Creek so leave it at home. and please purchase a generator that has an enclosed engine. Harbor Freight tools has the Predator series generators and are affordable. Amazon also has a variety of quiet generators a mouse click away from your doorstep. Also, consider a solar generator, no noise at all but a little pricey.

Be considerate of your neighbors in Dog Creek and bring a quiet generator.

Our only complaint was that the campgrounds had ash from the burns they did in early spring. Everything turned black because of it.

was unable to find the campground. There were no signs and no one in the small towns nearby had even heard of the campground. I ended up at an RV park in the town of Mountain Home, ID. Since I was running out of gas in my truck, I didn't want to spend any more time trying to find the campground.

Site 10:
The camp hosts were lovely. They offered my son an otter pop in the warm weather and were genuinely interested in helping. The vault bathrooms were clean, quiet, and smelled fresh. Site 10 has a nice shortcut path straight to the bathroom and water spout. The only downside about this site is that you’re surrounded by sites 11,9 and 7 with limited tree coverage. The creek was magical as we saw tons of wildlife like butterflies, birds, deer, and minnows. It’s an absolute must for tent campers. I will be going here often!

Dog Creek is a wonderful campground.

The only issue I have is that we arrive on sunday afternoon and the dumpsters are always overflowing.
I believe the trash pick-up isn't until Tuesday

Once again Dog Creek campsite was in tip top shape. The site had been raked by the host and the bathroom was super clean. We look forward to another stay next summer.

We stay here for visits to Trinity Hotsprings every year. The campsites are always clean and the restrooms are polished. Each year has different camp hosts and they are all Top Notch people who take pride in maintaining the campsites. This Campground is small and uncrowded, just the way I like it. You can filter water from nearby Dog Creek if you don't want well water from the spigot. It all tastes great!

Unfortunately, the water was off at Dog Creek. Fortunately, that fact was clearly communicated to me early enough to formulate plan B. So, I took my backpacking water filter and got water out of Dog Creek itself. It tasted delicious. Always a good time at Dog Creek. It's the perfect place to camp when visiting Trinity Hot Springs and Baumgartner as well. Be sure and stop in at the Featherville Cafe while you're there.

Lots of trails to hike nearby. Campground was well maintained.

vault toilet was clean. water available. road is a bit dusty. big quiet site
