Boise National Forest's Ten Mile Campground sits along Highway 21 outside Idaho City, running Memorial Day through Labor Day under US Forest Service management. Sites vary considerably: some in the lower section run small, with limited room for a vehicle and tent, while those in the upper section have more space and separation. Highway noise is a factor during the day, though traffic drops off after dusk. Water hookups and sewer connections accommodate RVs up to 71 feet. Campers with dogs will find dog-friendly camping around Boise National Forest at several nearby sites as well. Bad Bear lies roughly a mile northeast for those wanting an alternative.
