Perfect

Pit toilet available. Can either camp by the water or on a higher road by the toilet, picnic table, and grill. Cannot swim in the water due to algae growth.

Free dispersed camping

I’m absolutely satisfied with this place!

The only thing that might bother you is the angle of the slope try to find a flat spot also I think you can safely stand by the barbecues, there is never anyone there, everyone is by the water!

Limited space

As others mentioned, this is a beautiful campsite right on the water but there are few site options. Great if you can snag a spot!

Toxic algae bloom

Beautiful and quiet. Stayed on a Tuesday night. No one else was camping but there were a few people fishing. There is a toxic algae bloom in the lake so we couldn’t swim which was a disappointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Grey's Landing located in Idaho?

Grey's Landing is situated on the shoreline of a lake in Idaho. It's a scenic waterfront location that offers beautiful views and a peaceful setting. The campground has waterfront sites as well as elevated spots on a ridge. It's accessible by a gravel road, making it relatively easy to reach by vehicle, though specific directions should be verified with official sources before your trip.

What amenities are available at Grey's Landing campground?

Grey's Landing offers basic amenities including a pit toilet, picnic tables, and grills/barbecues. The campground features waterfront sites as well as higher elevation spots along a ridge road near the toilet facilities. While the setting is beautiful and quiet, amenities are minimal, making this more suitable for campers who appreciate a simple, rustic camping experience without extensive facilities.

What recreational activities can I do near Grey's Landing?

Fishing is a popular activity at Grey's Landing, with people frequently visiting the lake for this purpose. While the lake itself is a central feature, swimming is not recommended due to toxic algae blooms that affect the water. The peaceful setting makes it ideal for relaxing, enjoying lakeside views, and perhaps wildlife watching. Visitors typically gather by the water to enjoy the scenery rather than around the barbecue areas. For additional activities, check with local authorities about nearby hiking trails or other recreational opportunities in the surrounding area.

Do I need reservations for Grey's Landing in Idaho?

Grey's Landing appears to operate on a first-come, first-served basis without a formal reservation system. The campground has limited sites available, with only a few prime spots directly by the water. During weekdays, especially Tuesdays, the campground can be nearly empty, while weekends may see more visitors. Given the limited number of desirable sites, arriving early is recommended, particularly if you want one of the coveted waterfront locations.
