We love coming to Union Creek Campground. From Boise, it's 40 miles farther than going to Ponderosa State Park in McCall, Idaho, a campground we also love, but driving on the freeway, the driving time is about the same. It's a plus that we also gain an hour due to the time change on the way over, making it seem like we're arriving earlier than we are.

The campsites are very spacious and there's plenty of room between sites. We like the electrical and water hookups; this time we stayed in the A Loop, so we also had a sewer hookup. Our dogs have a Burley trailer and they enjoy tagging along on bike treks along the shoreline and through the campground.

The camp hosts in Loop A and in Loop B, where we stayed earlier in the summer were vey kind and we enjoyed talking with them.

Our experiences couldn't be any better.
