Mackay Reservoir Fishing Access

A dirt road with loose gravel leads down to the water's edge at Mackay Reservoir Fishing Access, a dispersed site in Mackay, Idaho where campers can pull vehicles directly to the shoreline. Overnighters report only a handful of other vehicles on site, and toilets are the one amenity provided. Bring serious insect repellent: mosquito swarms are a documented issue. AWD or 4WD is recommended, though one camper confirmed towing a 30-foot rig without difficulty. Joe T. Fallini Campground sits nearby for those wanting a more developed alternative.

Full length SUV + 30ft camper OK

Spent the night. Quiet and secluded. 2 other vehicles overnight, plenty of space. Mosquito swarms! Beware! Dirt road with loose gravel but my AWD suv had no problem towing my 30ft camper up and down to the waters edge.
