Free, easy access and Close to McCall

Two other RVs already here so we backed into the shaded nook just as you pull off Lick Creek Rd. Views of the lake but log jams and swampy shore mean no access.

No bugs during the day but Dawn/dusk mosquitoes.

Dispersed Near McCall at Little Payette Lake

Dirt road turn-off from Lick Creek Road.  4-5 pullouts for cars/RVs.  A few hundred years from the lake, but there is not really lake access.  Mosquitoes were pretty prevalent in early august.  No fires were allowed due to wildfire restrictions.

All said, it was a painless & free site only a few minutes from downtown McCall, ID.  Good alternative to when the state park fills up
