Just far enough away from Hwy 21

Wide open campground with lots of space to roam.  A good base camp for other area activities such as hiking.  Not a lot of privacy between campsites but the sites have some room in between.

Grayback is OPEN!

Flood Waters washed out the bridge that connects Hwy 21 to the campsite in 2016.  

UPDATE:  Grayback Gulch is OPEN and a wonderful little campground a short drive from Boise.    No hookups, but the toilets are clean and there are two fresh water pumps.   Fishing is available in nearby Moores Creek.  If you can get a campsite along the north end, you may have walking access to a small stream that burps and gurgles down the hillside.   There may be ATV traffic as it's a popular location for families.  I really like using this as a quick 'getaway' overnight.

SiteAs of Oct. 9th the campground was still open, but no trash/toilet servicing
