          Within the national forests, the majority of land is open for “dispersed camping”, outside of developed campgrounds. These locations are usually wide spots off of forest roads, with no facilities provided, such as water, bathrooms or tables. Many people enjoy the solitude of camping away from developed campgrounds. Follow these guidelines to ensure that these areas can be enjoyed safely by you, and future generations.

          Overview: The Ice Springs Campground has 3 campsites on Fall Creek near the Anderson Ranch Reservoir. The reservoir is a popular destination for fishing, boating, waterskiing and riding personal watercraft. It is also has good smallmouth bass and kokanee fishing.

There is a nearby trailhead at Camp Creek, south, to the end of Forest Service (FS) road 128, which heads north past Dog Mountain, all the way to Horse Ranch Mountain, about 17 miles. A shorter hike can be done by setting up a shuttle at Bear Hole Trailhead, north on FS road 129.

            Nice flat spot

            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

            Beautiful spot, but difficult to get to

            About an hour off the highway, 7 miles of which are washboard-bumpy gravel roads along the lake cliffside (Had to drive under 10mph those last 7 miles). We were in an AWD sprinter van, and the road conditions definitely put a damper on the night. Site is right on the water gorgeous once you’re there. The stars were incredible. Toilet on site but the flies were swarming.

            Beautiful, but...

            It's an absolutely stunning location, but there are very few spots with any shade at all and it gets HOT out there. Depending on how rugged your vehicle is, spots are limited. No T-Mobile service. Oh, and the bugs are insane.

            If you want lake access this place is magical

            There are many group sites and single sites. Many sites own a corner turn. Also your entire campsite will be visible to every car passing. There are other sites on the other side of the road that are more private. Be wary the road is very dangerous getting in. Take it slow.

            Some people park their trailers at lake front but beware of the dune sand , you might get stuck.

            I love being able to jump into the lake and ride my bike along the lake.

            Rocky campsites

            All sites are on tent-stake-resistant river cobble, though some disguised with a thin layer of dirt, or a white layer of alkali or talc. Combined with the smell of dead fish, difficult fishing access (river level 2000+ cfs), frequent lack of shade, poison ivy, invasive plants, trash hither and yon, we yawned and went on. . .

            The views are Beautiful

            The views are beautiful, but some of the sites are less than to be desired. If you have a 4WD vehicle you should be just fine, but if you have a trailer or camper, that can really limit what spots you can get to. Also, people really need to learn how to not leave trash behind. There is no cell service so you really get to just enjoy the scenery.

            Quiet.

            This place is absolutely beautiful and would be perfect if it weren't for people leaving so much trash behind. My wife and I spent a lot of time picking up countless bullet casing and other trash. We heard numerous birds in the area, such as killdeer, mourning doves and owls. We saw a few small bunnies, not sure of the kind. There's a lot of dispersed camping. We saw RVs, Vans and a few tents. It was very quiet and people usually only stayed a few nights. We were here for 9 days. The hot springs are off the road across the street from the sign. It was a little too hot for my liking but my wife enjoyed wading in it.

            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.

            Beautiful but boisterous.

            Our site was located right off the road along the river. The views of the canyon were spectacular and our site was about a 5 minute walk along the road to Snively Hot Springs. Amazing backdrop for free dispersed camping. HOWEVER, the clientele around us wasn’t so idyllic. We were surrounded by loud campers that were partying and yelling well past 11 PM (most of the noise was coming from the hot springs). Cars were coming and going all night (Wednesday) so it was hard to get a peaceful night’s rest. To top it off, we witnessed our neighbor get into a verbal altercation with some interlopers who were fishing near his tent. He was very aggressive, threatening them with a large log and shouting expletive loaded threats at them….all in front of my 7 and 4 year old daughter. It was a bit freaky. I’d give the location 5 stars, the the experience 1 star. If you manage to hit it in a down time when you can get some solitude, this area would be hard to beat.

            On a side note, we checked out the hot springs in the morning. They were cool, but again the experience was tainted by the amount of trash and litter around the fringes of the hot springs from partying the night before.

            Amazing views! Sunset to sunrise

            Was driving thru to seattle from the Midwest. My last stop! Easy to find. No signal and no fires allowed due to BLM land. Was a brisk 12° in mid/late November. A few campers. If you have an off road vehicle- it’s great to climb up some hills to find the perfect spot!

            Quiet

            These grounds had lots of room despite the amount of people camping.

            I was able to setup a hammock and camp in a cluster of trees and also found some dry wood onsite to burn.

            There was a hot spring nearby that was nice to soak in.

            Right Off The Highway! Historic and Beautiful!

            weather permitting and as long as there's not too much snow in the winter which is pretty unlikely because they do try to keep it cleared however if a snowstorm comes through it could be a day or two before somebody could get to it. this is an Old Stage Stop where they would leave feed up on top of the rocks and other supplies to keep them away from animals in Indians the location I have shared is the location of the old hotel. look to your right as you pull in and you can't miss the remains. also be careful there are a couple very deep Water Wells that at times can surprise you if they are not covered. should be covered by a old car hood which should remain there. please be respectful. one other well down by the creek. the hotel was built years after buy a couple and their child. Indians killed the wife and child in an attack. up the roadways not very far at all you will find a small road to the right with just a turnout. you will find two grave markers as well. You will have noticed a road to the west up into the Rocks. this is not an RV road but a good road to walk or take a horse, motorcycle, or ATV up. even a pickup should do fine part of the way up but as soon as you see it veer to the right beware! if that corner incline is wet it is clay and you will sink to your eyeballs! a few hundred more yards and you are in the center of the rocks. look closely and you will find the remains of a rock corral where they kept their horses. this spot is disputed with some other local people who live in the area. some confuse it with the boulder down by the creek but my metal detector tells me otherwise and so does the Corral. also you will noticed a marshy area that you passed. this was the well where they got their water. they had a house somewhere near. also if you are a real explorer and historian buff like myself you will find just about four or five hundred more yards to the South a pile of rocks with a single fence post standing in the center of it. I believe this is a grave site. only wish I knew more..

            Very Quiet and Private

            Turn on the dirt road left just as you are nearing the Oregon State Line. If you crossed over the line, turn around. Coming from Oregon Entering Idaho, Turn right just after you cross the state line. I have been in this campground with a car and a small RV but you better know what you are doing! This may not be for most campers but if you are a desert rat like myself, who loves to get AWAY FROM ALL, You will be very pleased! If you are a concrete camper, you'd best avoid this spot, Also, if you're just curious and have a high clearance vehicle and the ground is dry, you'll do just fine. This is a great get away! When it's hot, Rattle Snakes could be around. Most won't come out until the bugs do so be aware! Not sure the fishing is good or not but this is very private. you will most likely have the place to yourself. Arrowheads can be found on occasion as well so keep your eyes open!

            Rode in on my GS fully packed and as previously reviewed it was a bumpy road from the dam but not difficult. I was the only one here but the neighboring site had a couple people. Very quiet location. Happy I didn’t stop at hotel as it was getting near dark as I rode in and wasn’t sure what to expect. If I’m ever passing through Boise again I’ll be stopping back here for the layover. Also, a toilet was available. That was unexpected.

            We drove way past Lucky Peak Res until we saw trees. There are 2 pull offs here with lots of spots to camp. There are lots of firepits around the area and water access. Cool spot.

            Parked little below the coordinates and spent the night by the Snively hot springs. Not as gross as the reviews lead on. Very happy with this find.

            Great for ATV's

            If you are a fan of motorized vehicles and access to lots of off road adventure, this would be a great campground for you.  I like quiet tent camping, hence the 3 star rating, others might rate it higher.  We were here in the fall and there were a lot of hunters staying here.  We did see some road hunting so be careful if you are out here during hunting season.

            Arrowrock off season

            Super great spot that is close to town - pro's and con's are already covered and i agree - especially packing out more than you pack in as trash spoils the appeal.  Driving a large bed camper isn't so bad but is slower for sure and the narrow spots can be sketchy with multi-vehicle with trailers meeting there.  I like the shoulder seasons best - wish i had a boat to add additional fun.  Your results might vary but I've had nothing but fun in the area.

            Fun for the day!

            This was a super fun spot to go play in the water for the day. Only thing I would change is the fact that there is no shade. The weather wasn’t great so while camping at night, it was crazy windy which was rough haha. Also, there were people blasting loud music until super late, but otherwise this is a nice spot.

            RAV4 Camping

            Awesome place! Like some of the others said, drive in could be a bit sketchy it you’re towing or have a large vehicle - but we passed plenty of boats/RV’s, just have to go slow. There’s multiple spaces and if you’re not too specific about being near the water, you can have some decent privacy.



          Guide to Kuna

          Camping near Kuna, Idaho, offers a mix of beautiful scenery and unique experiences. Whether you're in an RV or pitching a tent, there are plenty of options to explore.

          What to do:

          • Explore the Greenbelt: The Greenbelt is a popular spot for walking and biking. One visitor noted, “The Greenbelt is pretty, but VERY overcrowded. If you're looking for some peace walking by the river, forget it.” So, if you enjoy a lively atmosphere, this is the place for you.
          • Visit the Boise Riverside RV Park: This campground is open all year and offers various amenities. A camper mentioned, “The approach was better. Still very tight,” indicating that while it can be a bit cramped, it’s manageable for those who plan ahead.
          • Check out Arrowrock Reservoir: This area is known for its beautiful lake access. A reviewer said, “I love being able to jump into the lake and ride my bike along the lake,” highlighting the fun activities available here.

          What campers like:

          • Friendly Management: Campers at the KOA Boise Meridian RV Resort appreciate the helpful staff. One guest shared, “The staff is friendly and super helpful,” which makes for a welcoming atmosphere.
          • Clean Facilities: Many campers rave about the cleanliness of the bathrooms and showers. A visitor at Mountain View RV Park said, “The bathrooms are so well maintained. They look brand new and almost untouched.”
          • Great Location: Campgrounds like Swan Falls - Idaho Power offer stunning views and easy access to outdoor activities. A camper noted, “Once you get past the 7 miles with no camping, there are a large amount of campsites.”

          What you should know:

          • Noise Levels: Some campgrounds can be noisy due to nearby highways or airports. A camper at Rivers Edge RV Park mentioned, “The bathrooms... horror movie material! Showers, I'm pretty sure have never been cleaned,” indicating that cleanliness can be an issue.
          • Road Conditions: If you're heading to Arrowrock Reservoir Dispersed, be prepared for rough roads. One reviewer said, “The road is severely pot-holed,” so a vehicle with good clearance is recommended.
          • Reservation Policies: Some campgrounds have strict cancellation policies. A frustrated camper at Boise Riverside RV Park shared, “We were required to pay a $300 deposit which is non-refundable,” so read the fine print before booking.

          Tips for camping with families:

          • Choose Family-Friendly Campgrounds: Look for places like Country Corners Campground & RV Park, where one reviewer said, “The owners were very welcoming,” making it a great spot for families.
          • Plan for Activities: Make sure to have activities lined up. A camper at Macks Creek Park mentioned, “The camping was pleasant and kid-friendly,” which is a plus for families.
          • Safety First: Always keep an eye on kids, especially near water. One visitor at Celebration Park noted, “I had a difficult time taking my eyes off them while they swam,” emphasizing the importance of supervision.

          Tips from RVers:

          • Check Site Sizes: Make sure your RV fits the site. A camper at Rivers Edge RV Park said, “The cabin door you could not lock and the bathroom was unbelievably dirty,” indicating that some sites may not be well-suited for larger RVs.
          • Look for Amenities: Amenities can vary widely. A visitor at Ambassador RV Resort mentioned, “The pool and jacuzzis were the nicest I've used,” which can enhance your stay.
          • Be Prepared for Weather: Weather can change quickly, so be ready for anything. A camper at Mountain View RV Park noted, “It can get a little noisy from the jets but it didn’t bother us too much,” suggesting that being prepared can help you enjoy your trip despite any disturbances.

          Camping near Kuna, Idaho, has its ups and downs, but with the right preparation, you can have a great time exploring the outdoors!
