Best Tent Camping near Horseshoe Bend, ID

I am a tent camper and rolled in late at night. There is a registration box and nice tent campgrounds with picnic tables and flat tent sites. It is also very quiet and not to far out of town.

Ten Mile is a clean camp ground in a nice wooded area just off highway 21. The sites are large with good space between them for decent privacy. A good spot to tent camp, camper camp or bring smaller RVs.

This is a small camp ground right off Highway 55 and across the Highway from the Payette river.  Lots of shade trees.  Not a lot of room for larger campers or RVs, mostly geared toward tent camping.  I did not get cell service here.

I love this campground. It’s back in the woods, on a creek. Perfect for tent camping. Campers and smaller RVs could also find spots. There is good privacy from the abundance of trees in the campground. This is one of my favorite spots off of Highway 21.

This is one of the few overnight camp spots on the reservoir. It’s not always super clean. The garbage cans fill up quickly and sometimes over flow. Great day access for boats. Not a lot of shade for tent camping, so it can get warm in the summer.

This campground is really easy to find. A little before Lowman, right off the road. Average amenities for tent camping. (Only park on the paved road) The camp host is really kind and helpful. There are hot springs right across the street with a beautiful soaking pool and river side view. Good breakfast in Lowman and amazing hot springs in the area!

• Tent camping was easy, middle of the campground. I was the only tent, counted 10 RVs. Felt safe. $22
• Nice owners
• The water was so warm I swam at midnight! That’s 5 stars. 1/5 for loud sprinklers on all night and It’s farm land so a breeze would bring in the faintest scent of cow manure from time to time

The drive here is gorgeous! rolling hills, rich farm land, grape vines 20ft high. At sunset it was magical.

Edna Creek campground is  off of Highway 21 and is a little farther off the main road that some of other near by campgrounds.   It is a little more private and quiet.  I like this campground because it is more geared toward tent camping.  There is limited space for larger RVs.  There are no RV type amenities.  Just vault toilets, picnic tables and campfire rings.  I believe there is also a water pump.  Lots of access to hiking around here which is a plus for me!

Sites are next to the river and have amazing views of the surrounding terrain.

Trash cans are located at each designated site as well as a level area to set up.

There is cell reception in case you are interested but the wifi was poor.

The fire pits are locked during fire season.

Unfortunately, my site was a victim of irresponsible campers who left trash and urinated near the tent site. Obviously not the campground’s fault but something to be aware of.

$5 fee with dropbox. 3 night max (within 30 day period.)

This summer we tried Rivers Edge Rv Park for the first time and had a great experience. On our drive up to Pacific Northwest in early August we did tent camping here and in late September we tried the cabins along the river. Wonderful quiet location, good hosts and amazing sunsets on the Snake River. If you stay in the cabins, just a note that this is a place where you need to bring your own bedding and kitchen items, however there is a hot plate and sink, plus a microwave. The ladder steps up to the bedroom was an adventure in itself😛 No bathrooms in the cabin, but there is a community bathroom and shower. One star off because the bathroom really does need to be updated. Shower was a bit grungy. But for everything great about this place, I know we will be back!

This is a fantastic campsite. The host is super friendly and helpful without being intrusive. It’s on a bluff over a creek and there are hot springs a mere 1/4 mi away. Epic! There were several campsites that over looked the creek (which was easy to hike down to). We had an epic sunrise hot spring experience. We were on site 22 on the RV side which was great because there was more space between sites. There a vault toilet on the tent site and a water pump. We wished we could have stayed longer. Recreation.gov listed a bunch of their sites as first come, first serve which the host informed me they are not. Either way he found us an open spot but with such a nice location I don’t know if that happens often. 10/10 would stay again

Very clean well manicured campground next to the little salmon river 9 miles south of Riggins Idaho in Pollack, ID.
We have stayed here two times on our way to Grangeville and the owners are helpful and the store is well stocked with supplies and local Idaho wines. sites are gravel with nicely maintained grass between. Sites have water and electric with a central dump station near the park exit. Cools at night and the sound of the river next to the park makes for a good nights sleep. Tents are permitted in individual sites. Will stay here again.

Small campsite with well-spaced sites. Pretty good Verizon signal. Close to the road but not noisy. Close to Idaho City, which has awesome little spots. Shady, no morning sun. The real treasure is the nearby hot springs resort, The Springs at Idaho City. This is not a big kiddie swimming pool, rather it is a lovely, serene spot and by far one of the nicest in Idaho. They even serve IPA poolside!

Less than an hour from downtown Boise. Beautiful, scenic views, off the main road so it's mostly quiet. Tent only, but nicely maintained tent pads, fire rings and picnic tables. Perfect place to teach young ones the joy of camping; campground is open, mostly flat and easy to keep your eyes the tykes. One of the most enjoyable drives, ever.

my family and i spent 3 1/2 days at the Big Eddy. the sites are first come first serve. the one we got was right in the middle, next to the bathroom, easy walk to the river. sites are a decent size for tent or rv, just not so much for both. there were hosts that came around a couple times to make sure everything was set up as per rules and bathroom was taken care of. very nice people and informative of other sites in the area. the cost was $15/night, which is reasonable. the only issue i had was tight area for a tent and then parking of my vehicle by my tent trailer.
