The Best Camping Near Macks Inn, Idaho

We were passing through on our way to Yellowstone and found the absolute last spot available on a Friday night. If we were local and had a boat or ATV, this would totally be the place to come. Great place to put in on the river. Even a spot to store your ATVs. But since we just wanted a quiet tree-filled place to camp, this was not the best. Vault toilets. No showers. Smallish camp sites. Only $15 though, which isn't bad. But not much to do unless you were prepared with things like a boat.

This campground is conveniently located off of Island Park Reservoir and close to recreational trails. Early in the season, we had the campground to ourselves with a great view of the water.

Waterfront camping, close to trails

Host was a good guy. Campground was fairly quiet for 4th of July weekend. Right on the river and easy to access all Island Park has to offer.
