Summary

RVs are welcome, but there are no hookups. Reservations are not available; all sites are first-come, first-served, with a small nightly fee. Set in a scenic, forested setting near the South Fork Payette River, it’s popular for its peaceful vibe and access to nearby hiking, fishing, and hot springs. Kirkham Hot Springs is just minutes away. Summer through early fall (June–September) is the best time to visit. No permits required unless planning dispersed camping in nearby areas.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
