Beautiful Idaho

I love this area of Idaho. The campground is outside of Carey and a little remote, but right up against those beautiful rolling hills that are one of my favorite backdrops in this geologically diverse state.

The reservoir, like many in this area, is very low most of the year and you should probably contact BLM to see what the status is before you go, if that’s a consideration for you.

It can get hot and windy, but everything improves in the evening (and particularly once the mosquitoes go away). We saw bald eagles among other cool birds.

Road into the campground was totally fine and passable, sites are well laid out and kept.

No cell service whatsoever, so be aware of that.
