"This RV Park is clean and the staff is very friendly," one visitor noted about McCall RV Resort. "We were escorted to our site and each spot had a picnic table."

Cell service varies significantly across the area, with better connectivity at parks closer to towns like McCall and Donnelly. Most parks welcome pets, though specific restrictions may apply. According to reviews, some mountain-adjacent parks have gravel pads that may require leveling blocks. Sanitary dump stations are available at the larger facilities including Arrowhead RV Park on the River, which provides full hookups and accommodates larger motorhomes. Winter access becomes limited as many parks close seasonally, with only McCall RV Resort and a few others remaining operational year-round. Propane service is limited, so travelers should plan accordingly before heading into more remote locations.

    River Point RV Park

    Newer, Nice, Maintained, Friendly!

    This is a nice place. Not too expensive, close to town, traffic noise isn't bad, great staff and host. It's clean, newer amenities include some limited food items, ice, BBQs, dog area, propane, pool table, tennis court (or whatever ball you want to use for this size net), 1/2-court basketball, volleyball. They even have the balls to use (don't know about tennis or other similar-size balls though).

    Large, wide spaces, many pull throughs. I can fit my truck next to my travel trailer. Asphalt drives and stall sites. Showers/restrooms are clean, so is the laundry area, all with newer equipment. Each shower/water closet is its own small room, hooks, bench, ADA accessible, sink, just like your own restroom. Laundry is $2 wash, $2 dry, quarters.

    Sugarloaf Campground — Lake Cascade State Park

    Lake cascade has it all

    at 47 square miles lake cascade has it all. It is a beautiful upland lake that is warm enough to swim in all summer long and deep enough to have some serious fishing if you bring our boat. there are 10 campground units spread around the lake. I have stayed in 5 of those. On the west side of the lake you have huckleberry, which is shaded from the brutal afternoon sun due to being at the foot of west mountain and about 2 minutes from Tamarack ski resort. It has water, but no electricity or sewer for trailers. the beach is sandy and very nice. Poison Creek is farther south on the west side of the lake. This is a very nice trailer camp with W/S/E. The showers are awesome there too. On the north east side of the lake is sugarloaf. if you are camping it will be very hot during the summer. The swimming area and boat launch is worth the heat though. If you are coming up for the day I would stop there. Right in the town of cascade is ridgeview campground. This is a full service camp with wide and deep trailer spaces. If you are glamping this is the place to go. 2 minutes to the diner in town and wifi. The beach here is great and the views are really awesome. Just across the bay from ridgeview is the first come first serve crown point. there is community water and pit toilets but the beaches are granite outcroppings are great. I highly recommend lake cascade. And at 70 miles from Boise it can be a day trip.

    Sugarloaf Campground — Lake Cascade State Park

    Scenic Campsites Just North Of Boise, Idaho. A Nice Quick Getaway!

    Lake Cascade State Park has some beautiful scenery from any of the sites you stay at. There is tent and RV camping in the area. I suggest reserving a site far in advance because they fill up quick. The lake freezes over in the winter time, but if you are willing to rough it in cold weather, there are some sites available. Call before you head to the lake. There are several activities you can do at this campground, from fishing, boating, sailing and Moutain biking. Some sites have full hook-ups and there is a dumpstation for RVs. There are some ADA sites as well as group and Yurt camping. This campground is for everyone! From those willing to rough it to those who are into "glamping" :-)

    Boise National Forest Warm Lake Campground

    A Pleasant Camping Area North of Boise, Idaho

    This campsite is located east of Cascade Lake and Donnelly, Idaho. It's a scenic road to get there. The camsite we were in was dry camping with no hook-ups. The camping pad for our 27' Travel Trailer was nice and level. Each campsite had a picnic table and a firepit. There are some nice hiking trails in the vicinity. Mountain biking and horse riding is acceptable there as well. Since we had kayaks, we had a short drive to the boat ramp. There is excellent trout fishing. There is a small swim beach near the Warm Lake Lodge and Restaurant, near where the cabins are. All in all, a great stay, away from the city :-) It's a nice peaceful setting.

    Horsethief Reservoir Campground

    Lakeside multi-loop campgrounds

    Horsethief reservoir is at about 5,000 feet just east of Cascade Idaho off Warm Lake road. There are 5 public campground loops around the north and northwest shores under Idaho Fish and Game jurisdiction and managed by the Boise YMCA. Most of these loops have just been renovated and re-opened as of May 2022. ALL sites are first come, first served, no reservations. I was told there are about 115 camp sites between the 5 loops. One loop is unrenovated and more primitive/informal at the furthest east loop. We stayed in Osprey cove loop #24 which is one of very few pull-throughs. Most loops are paved with gravel camp site parking. Nice level camping/picnic pads at each site and new metal picnic tables. This lake offers great fishing and kayaking. Motorized boats OK, but NO WAKE allowed so you are just trolling at idle. Many camp sites are shaded. NO water/electric/sewer or dump stations or garbage. Take everything out that you brought in.

    Neat Retreat RV Park

    FYI- more residential than campers

    This RV Park is a mix of full time rv and manufactured home tenants and a few rv campers. Set right in front of railroad track right off the road. Lots of shade and large rv gravel pads. Not what I was expecting on our road trip.

    Rattlesnake

    Lovely riverside camping

    Great camping right next to the river. Well maintained with access to water (hand pump) and vault toilets. The sites work well for travel trailers (medium size to small) or tents. There were a couple pull through sites. Trees provide partial shade but the campground is in a pretty steep valley so no real sunsets or morning sunrises.
