Forest Service Campsite FR0215B Dispersed

3 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Free and drive-in accessible, FR0215B sits directly along the river in Boise National Forest, with open sites large enough to handle rigs up to 40 feet. Big rigs park on the upper left; the layout spreads wide enough to fit dozens of vehicles. Expect a late morning sunrise, as the eastern mountains block early light. There are no tables, toilets, water hookups, or trash services, so campers need to arrive fully self-sufficient. Holiday weekends have drawn reports of noise and site-holding despite the 14-day limit, making off-peak visits the more reliable choice for anglers, hikers, and OHV riders.

Hideaway in the woods

Though only a few hundred yards off the road, you cannot hear or see it! The road in leads to a loop with an 'upper' and 'lower' area. The lower areas overlook the river directly. Nice mix of shaded and sunny spots with nice flat areas to park your camper. We were here on a Wednesday in July and only saw 2 other spots at this campground taken. No amenities which was fine as we were just stopping through, but seems like plenty of hiking to do in the area if you're staying awhile.

Great Location

Dispersed campground. First come first served. Directly overlooking the river. Late sunrise due to mountains from the East.

Great place, Quiet

Large open sites. Big rigs go left and park on top. Large areas, can accommodate dozens of RVs and tents.

Avoid during holidays, people leave tents and rvs for days to keep the spot despite rules and the ranger station will do nothing about it. At those times expect loud parties and even fights or gunfire which the rangers will also do nothing about.

Other than that its great. Take a right on the highway and head to the sourdough lodge for the best pancakes for hundreds of miles.

There are many other dispersed and paid spots along the highway.
