Outside Idaho city

A busy site with lots of open spots for camping. Although, this place feels more like an rv park than a tent site. Lots of noise, but it’s got service and is close to Boise. Fine for a night.

good for a short stay

A variety of free and dispersed sites, most of them with rock campfire rings, near a nice shallow creek. A fair amount of RV and ATV traffic but still feels pretty secluded. No bathrooms or anything like that but it's only a 3 minute drive from Idaho City.
