Cows

Pros: Beautiful with very nice camping spots, with nice clear stream! Cell is spotty. Cons: Cows, cows not just passing thru, they are in the valley with you all the time.

Rolling Hills Easy Roads

Easy to get to. Good access to the streams. We parked in front of a trailhead that allows motor bikes, horses and hikers. Fire rings along the sites and level land. Peaceful night sleep.

Pretty Good!

Good cell service, access to a great trail, and clean campsites. Several spots have nice access to a stream that runs through that area which was great to play in with my pup!

Packed on the weekends but campsites are spread apart with vegetation in between which provides fairly good privacy.

Nice little hideaway

This place is nice and easy to get to. There is good trout fishing in the small creek or you can go chase the bruisers in the snake river a few miles away. It is dry camping so bring lots of water to keep hydrated.
