Dispersed camping in Boise National Forest, Ice Springs sits near a creek with picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets on-site. Access is drive-in, and the area draws a noticeable mix of OHV users and hunters, particularly in fall, which affects the noise level and general atmosphere. Campers who visited in summer noted the river running directly below the sites. Camp Creek Trailhead lies 2 miles east for those looking to extend their time in the area. Pets are welcome, and the site is open May through October. This spot tends to work best for motorized recreation enthusiasts rather than those seeking low-traffic tent camping.
Description
Overview: The Ice Springs Campground has 3 campsites on Fall Creek near the Anderson Ranch Reservoir. The reservoir is a popular destination for fishing, boating, waterskiing and riding personal watercraft. It is also has good smallmouth bass and kokanee fishing.

There is a nearby trailhead at Camp Creek, south, to the end of Forest Service (FS) road 128, which heads north past Dog Mountain, all the way to Horse Ranch Mountain, about 17 miles. A shorter hike can be done by setting up a shuttle at Bear Hole Trailhead, north on FS road 129.
