Edna Creek

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Hiking access draws many visitors to Edna Creek, a small Forest Service campground just over Mores Creek Summit at roughly 5,000 feet elevation along Highway 21. The loop road is compact, and the tighter corners make it a poor fit for large or long rigs. Tent campers and those with shorter trailers will find it easier to maneuver. Sites are shaded and a few have a small creek running alongside them. Amenities are basic: vault toilets, picnic tables, campfire rings, and a hand pump for water. Pets are welcome. Those planning a trip through pet-friendly campgrounds around Boise National Forest will find Edna Creek fits that profile. The campground runs from mid-May through late September, so confirm dates before heading out on the winding road from Idaho City.

Good family campground near Boise

We stayed here over a weekend in the summer. This Campground is got an hour and a half from Boise and above Idaho City on the Highway 21. The last 20 or 30 minutes Beyond Idaho City going east is a pretty steep Winding Road and a little bit narrow. The longer your trailer and rig the more skill you will need to climb this route. Edna creek is just over Mores Creek Summit and it's it about five thousand feet. It's a great place to cool off. Campground is shaded in most cases. Nice variety of little spaces including a little bit of water going by some of the sites. It's a small cluster of sights on a loop road and again you'll need to maneuver tightly in a few of the corners. Definitely not for a large or long rigs.

Nice Campground

Edna Creek campground is off of Highway 21 and is a little farther off the main road that some of other near by campgrounds. It is a little more private and quiet. I like this campground because it is more geared toward tent camping. There is limited space for larger RVs. There are no RV type amenities. Just vault toilets, picnic tables and campfire rings. I believe there is also a water pump. Lots of access to hiking around here which is a plus for me!
