Roughly 12 to 18 miles down dirt roads into Payette National Forest, Spring Creek Campground sits in a forested setting near a creek, with no cell service and no hookups. The loop road is paved but narrow, and RVs over 25 feet will have difficulty maneuvering the sites despite the official 32-foot limit. Nearby options include Paradise Campground and Justrite Campground, both within two miles to the south. Reservations are available; the campground runs from Memorial Day through October, so plan accordingly.
Description
Overview
Spring Creek Campground is located along the peaceful Spring Creek in the Hitt Mountains of western Idaho. Visitors enjoy relaxing along the gentle creek, fishing and exploring local trails. Once on-site, you may be able to pay for your campsite(s) by scanning a QR code using the Recreation.gov mobile app, and the Scan and Pay feature. If this option is available, you will need to first download the free Recreation.gov mobile app https://www.recreation.gov/mobile-app prior to your arrival as some remote areas have limited or no cellular service.
Recreation
Several miles of hiking, biking and off-road vehicle trails crisscross the area. The Sturgill Peak Trail climbs to a 7,289-foot summit and an active fire lookout built in 1934. Hikers are rewarded with views of the surrounding Hitt Range and the Wallowa Mountains to the west.

The campground offers several single-family campsites and one large group picnic site than can accommodate up to 100 guests. Picnic tables and fire rings are provided, as are accessible vault toilets and drinking water.
Natural Features
The campground is situated beneath tall ponderosa pine and fir trees at an elevation of 4,750 feet. Summer temperatures are hot during the day, but the surrounding trees provide ample shade.
