Boise National Forest Bad Bear Campground

Bad Bear Campground features spacious sites with good privacy and plenty of shade from tree cover - particularly welcome during warm summer days. The campground is divided with sites on both sides of Highway 21, with some campsites across from the river area. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring, and the campground has water available from a well. There's also a dedicated day-use picnic area on the river side with its own restroom facilities, eliminating the need to cross back to camp. The peaceful brook at the back of the campground adds to the natural ambiance.

Bad Bear Campground is located just outside of Idaho City in the Boise National Forest. The campground sits alongside Highway 21 with portions of the campground on both sides of the road. A peaceful babbling brook flows at the back of the campground, providing a tranquil natural setting. Its proximity to Idaho City makes it a convenient base for exploring the surrounding forest areas while still being accessible from Boise.
