Boise National Forest operates Howers Campground along a forested setting that accommodates RVs up to 45 feet with water hookups available. The US Forest Service manages this drive-in facility for $12 per night, with reservations accepted and pets welcome throughout the property.
The campground provides access to fishing opportunities and allows campfires for evening gatherings. Despite its lake-adjacent location and full hookup amenities, one recent visitor noted the site sees relatively light use. For additional options in the region, campers can explore sites around Boise National Forest. The combination of hookups and forest service pricing makes this spot well-suited to RV travelers seeking developed amenities in a wooded mountain setting.
Description

Recreation
Because of its remote location, Deadwood Reservoir is quiet and unpopulated, making for great fishing for Chinook and Kokanee salmon, as well as rainbow and cutthroat trout. Boating, water skiing, canoeing and kayaking are popular on the lake, and a boat ramp is located about two miles away at Cozy Cove Campground.Several trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback and off-road vehicle riding wind around the lake shore and surrounding landscape.
Facilities
This primitive campground offers waterfront sites with direct shoreline access. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided, but there is no electricity. Roads and parking spurs within the site are dirt.
Natural Features
The campground is situated in a mixed-growth pine forest, offering plenty of shade. Summer wildflowers are abundant, and the campground affords sweeping views of the reservoir.
Fee Info
