Famous for sunshine, good weather, and good snow, Boise deserves a spot on any adventurer’s bucket list. Idaho is an outdoors paradise on its own, and Boise is the jumping-off point for any good Idaho adventure.

The best camping near Boise is just outside of the city in the sprawling Boise National Forest. While Boise itself isn’t filled with camping, a handful of RV parks are available. It isn’t a long drive to get from the Boise area to any of the surrounding national forests, so day-trippers seeking more traditional accommodations can easily stay in Boise or Nampa, ID. If you’re looking for campgrounds, Boise National Forest is filled with campsites that are both reservable and first-come, first-served.
