Dispersed camping. High clearance vehicle recommended. Please LNT.
Nestled among cream and chocolate colored hills, barren red cliffs, and towering rock spires lays a secret oasis: the Birch Creek Historic Ranch. Established in the early 1900s, the ingenuity and determination of a Basque sheepherder and a West Virginia cattle rancher are still evident at the site today. Stone walls built in the Basque tradition still ascend the mesa. Remnants of a waterwheel hint at the lush alfalfa fields fed through the gravity irrigation system. Nineteen buildings and structures at the ranch contribute to the property's designation as a historical rural landscape on the Department of the Interior's National Register of Historic Places. Know Before You Go: Open YEAR ROUND, best access May-October. Accessibility is dependent on road conditions. A high clearance, four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended. There is a single water source and restroom. Five-unit campground. Point of Interest: Contact the Bureau of Land Management Vale District office for facilities rental information, current road access conditions, and any seasonal fire closure restrictions.

This small campground is located in a partially restored 19th-century mining town. Please plan to bring your own water. Don't use the water running through the campground from Jordan Creek because it may contain mercury from prior mining activity in the area.
Free. Coordinates: 43.43811,-117.11743. Camped here at the end of Sept, 2024. Located at the southern end of Succor Creek State Natural Area, close to the boundary with BLM land. 1/10th of a mile from Succor Creek Road. Access from Succor Creek Road is okay; rocky and eroded in a few places on an uphill drive. The site is located on a loop where the access track ends at a livestock fenced. You pass another large dispersed site on the way up. The dirt site is not quite level. Lots of cow patties. Surrounded by grass and sagebrush. Site has a rock fire ring. Open to sky, no shade; solar recharging and Starlink possible. It may be possible to set up a tent in the grass. There is a view of Succor Creek canyon. Fantastic views of surrounding mountains. No hiking trails, but one can explore that area beyond the fence and get additional views of the canyon and creek. No cell service. Very remote location. Except for a few cows and coyotes, very quiet area. I loved this spot!
I grew up in this little tiny town at RV Park has come along ways not familiar with the owners or the new ones but I have stayed there many times growing up. It’s like a little slice of heaven.
Has come a long ways in the last 10 years. Could still be part of the solution that part of the problem.
Nice campground, clean bathrooms and showers.Friendly people beautiful views. Website for reservations was difficult. You seem to have some glitches
Reading the other reviews made me a little unsure, but I went for it. The location is outstanding and my site is right on the river. The sites aren’t real obvious so I kind of made it up as I went. There is trash everywhere. The fire pits are all full of trash. And a little mowing or weed eating would help. To be honest, all the campgrounds I’ve been to this trip have been covered in trash and dog feces. It’s obvious service has gone the way of the dinosaurs. Keep your expectations low!!!
This little park is really decent. Nice sites, lots of choices. But the weird part is the owners aren’t around. No one’s around. Gotta problem? You’re totally on your own. Check out the sewer connection before you commit. I couldn’t use mine and I’d already unhooked. No dump available so I pulled into another site and used it before I left. They did have good wifi. Just noticed they have a beautiful website. Where I was located I couldn’t use the internet so called. They sent me a short text reply. It all worked out.
This is a spot run by BLM right on the Snake River.
Any sized rig can fit and surrounding area is beautiful.
There is a small pit toilet on site.
This would be a perfect free overnight, but homeless people have been allowed to dump trash in a pile next to their RV. There is also a pile left behind from another.
This is a failing of BLM to manage their sheriffs office property.
We have stayed many times and loved it. But now the place had about seven campers. Most sites had reserved stickers on them . The few remaining had signs say check on line. Our cellular service was too weak to check on line sadly. All the best riverfront sites over by the huts said reserved which I believe translates to out of service. There's normally electricity, water and a picnic table at these sites. A fire swept by the boundary of the park and partly through it to the river.
Traveling through Idaho and made this reservation online just an hour before arrival. Very simple to reserve.
We have a 38' 5th wheel pulled with a dually pickup. It was a tight fit, but after we were parked, it was awesome. We were in space #5. After unhooking, we did park the pickup across the lane in space they have for extra vehicles. Hook ups were simple. Although the sewer pipe at our site was a little high, so we had to really use risers under our drain pipe to get it to that level. Other sites seemed ground level.
When we left the next morning, we did have to pull out the "entrance" lane, as the angle of the space and smaller area, we couldn't turn sharp enough for the exit lane.
We could watch the sunset over the Snake River from out campsite. No bugs and lots of shade. Quiet campground.......except the duck hunters on other properties.
We didn't use the restrooms, etc. there.
They have very nice metal fire pits and a decent picnic table at each site. If you needed to stay in a cabin, they looked very nice. The larger one with the bathroom, was a beautiful site.
The price was great, especially for full hookups. I wish we could have stayed more than one night.
We would definitely stay there again.
We arrived late, but it was no problem. Everything was great - quiet, but near the highway. Showers and bathrooms were super clean. We walked to the little cafe down the street and had a nice country breakfast before going on our way to Idaho.
I like the idea of being able to camp cheap and all, but if there happens to be a storm before the day you pull in, you might encounter some mud in the grassy area. Not complaining, but was trying to stay out of the mud as I have a dog who doesn’t care where he runs and that can be a problem with the wife inside trailer.
After a couple dry creek beds there’s a less developed path that goes up a hill. There’s some old headstones from the 1800’s, (yes really) and a stone fire ring. Smooth dirt and very isolated
This spot is right off a paved road, so about as easy access as you can find. It’s a gravel parking lot for a boat launch onto Snake River.
There are 2 spots along the water below that are semi-private, but they were taken, so I just parked in the lot, with 2 other campers in trailers. Tons of space, and the road that goes by is relatively quiet, so there isn’t much noise from it even though it’s so close.
Probably not the nicest area to hang for an extended stay because of the lack of privacy, but for a quick stop it’s perfectly fine. Outhouse on site too.
We planned to stop here on a let of our trip and found the park closed. Their website explains that there is an issue with the water system. Check their website before heading out there.
This campground has potential that is not being exploited. Lovely spot beside the Payette River but that’s about it. Water and 30/50 hookups but too few trees, ery little to do without driving a distance. Close to white water rafting outfitters.
Clean, easy to find. Nice spots to back into. No store but ice for sale. Bathrooms are clean. River right there for fishing or little stroll.
Once you get past the 7 miles with no camping, there are a large amount of campsites. The road is pretty washboard and there was some traffic noise in the morning . There was a moderate amount of trash on the beach that I camped at. But, overall a good campsite.
This is a basic campground but it sits on a nice lake. There were forest fires burning in the distance so I didn’t have the best timing. That being said, I think it is a good place to stay in the area for a night or two. It was quiet, easily accessible, and reasonably maintained. It would not be a destination for me, but I’d stay there again
The cabin we reserved for two nights was such a disappointment, becasue of the time we arrived we forced ourselves to stay one night. The floors were not clean and sleeping on the bed provided was like sleeping on a pie tin. it crinkled and cracked everytinme you moved. The cabin door you could not lock and the bathroom was unbelievably dirty. The shower was more like a drip.
Nice little place to pull off for the night. It's just a gravel parking lot right next to an RV park. Beautiful view of the snake river and rolling hills. The bathroom was clean. The amount of bugs at sunset was BIBLICAL!
We parked right beside the river, and it was absolutely gorgeous. However, I don't recommend taking a car on this road. It's definitely an ATV road as it's very rough.
We stayed 2 nights. The neighbors next to us drank all day and all night. There is supposed to be a noise curfew. It wasn't enforced. It was horrible. When they were asked to quiet down. They said nope and proceeded to say I hope you enjoy us and our parties.
The bathrooms... horror movie material! Showers, I'm pretty sure have never been cleaned. There was large mice or rat feces every where. Spiders in the showers. No water pressure. I have seen dirty bathrooms as I own my own cleaning business. This bathroom took dirty, disgusting to a whole née level
Stopped here for a night on the way to the Tetons. Short walk to the confluence of the Snake and Boise River.
Well, guess the review below should have been posted after we checked out. Why? We went for a walk and upon our return at 9pm we were greeted by the management advising us we needed to immediately depart. If we didn't we were told we'd be trespassing and.... This is a first for us. A bit surprising as we are both retired health care professionals(surgeon and MPH). Plus, we have volunteered as camp hosts in both state parks and a KOA. Not a good experience. We are in a 38' Class A, and we're assigned site 17. The"guide' took us to our site. He had the people in the next site move their car so we could pull through and back in. Then he directed my husband pull through an area where there was a dead tree with the branches cut off, but still with the trunk and large limbs present. The top of our RV got caught under a protruding branch, scraping the top edge of the coach. The guide shared this was his first week and he didn't understand why they assigned us this site. He got his manager to come look at our coach and the site. The manager said he would have parked us differently, and they are not responsible for the damage. We asked for a different site, and the approach was better. Still very tight. Not a great way to start the visit and very disappointed in the management. Leaving early and likely won't be back or recommend this park to others. We camped at Boise Riverside RV Park in a Motorhome
Traveling across the state and we looked for a place to roll into later in the evening. Called this campground to see if there were any spots available and talked to a very nice woman on the phone who was able to get us in a tent spot immediately. We got there at about 10:30 and she met us out front and showed us our spot. Only a few tent spots but they were offset a little from the campers. Nice showers and had 24h bathroom access. Free WiFi all the way in our tent which was pretty awesome! Right off the highway which was convenient but could be a minus if the noise bothers you. Overall great experience!
Other reviews are accurate. Had the whole place to myself.
I reside approximately five miles from this campground and frequently visit. I've camped there back when it was merely dirt campsites. I'm providing some updated photos for future campers, 13 sites first come first serve. There's a large area at the road's end for turning around, though the approach to the gated campsites is somewhat rough; thus, campers with higher clearance are advised. If space permits, you can also park your camper in the main lot by the river's edge for the same fee. This area is fully paved and equipped with picnic tables and vault toilets, but it may get crowded with day users. Once you head towards the improved campsites, you're essentially committed to entering, but turning around is possible. Additionally, there's an excellent hiking trail leading to Halverson Lake not far in, forming a 3.9-mile loop. For a more extensive hike, follow the river trail to discover old stone mini huts—some are intact enough to enter, while others are just rubble, yet they're all intriguing to explore. It's believed they once served as shelters for trappers.
