What functions primarily as a boat launch sits within Boise National Forest near Elk Creek, managed by the US Forest Service outside Mountain Home, Idaho. The layout is largely open and gravel-surfaced, resembling a day-use parking area more than a developed campground. A vault toilet is on site, and water access is available. Pets are welcome. Campers who need a more established setup may find Spillway Campground a better fit, located nearby.

Portions of the parking area, both cement boat ramp and wooden docks were damaged. Temporary repairs were completed, which has allowed public access to continue using the site. A contractor and Forest Staff are scheduled to begin repair on September 9, 2015 the repair will consist of removal of damaged facilities, and pouring of new ramp, dock anchors and abutment. Repair work was finished approximately October 19, 2015. The Ramp re-opened 10-20-2015. Once the work is completed, additional time is needed to allow for curing of the concrete.
