The sound of flowing water reaches campers at this Forest Service campground, though sites sit back from the South Fork Payette River itself. Four Mile operates year-round with basic amenities including vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site. Site 3 provides trail access down to the creek, where campers find an additional rock fire pit near the water.
The campground sees light use even during busy holiday weekends, creating a quiet base for exploring the area's hot springs and hiking trails. A horse hitching station sits across the road for equestrian visitors. Campers staying here can access 16 Mile Hot Springs about 1.5 miles up the road, while other pet-friendly camping near Payette National Forest provides additional options throughout the forest.
