Best Glamping near Payette National Forest

This is a review for the Hazard Campground. If you want to be off the grid this is it. No cell service. The campground did not have a camp host so roudy campers are not kept in check. Also the water pump was out of order due to the test for purity was not processed yet. Bring extra rolls of toliet paper because the outhouses ( while they were good) where not resupplied over the weekend. So if you love off the grid and willimg to wing it with neighbors and water go for it. Great brook trout fishing and plenty of wildlife to enjoy. It would be a good home base to explore the areas many trails.

Qyet, beautiful lake, good fishing. Tents and small RV's only. This is a great canoe lake.

Decent about of campsites on the side of Hazard Lake. The lake itself is fairly small but many campers kayak or paddle board on it. Lots of fishing as well. All the sites have a fire pit and table plus parking for 2 cars if you park close. There are several sites that don’t really have water views so arrive early. I got in at 4pm on a Friday and there were only 2 spots left.

Nice grassy sites, water right there, vault toilets, fire rings and picnic tables, tent camping or RVs. Not a lot of shade but cools down nice at night. Lots to do nearby!

Close to the water, very chilly at the end of the season. Glad to have toilets and water.

The sites are spaced far apart and very spacious. Campground host is great and the campground is clean. There are a few pull throughs which make it easy for RVs. The beach at the lake is lovely. Site #7 backs up to a large beach area. The campground is convenient to Donnelly and McCall, and quite close to Tamarack Resort (7 minutes), if you are riding there. In fact all the State Park campgrounds in this part of the lake are very convenient to Tamarack. We enjoyed our quiet stay here!

Good camping close to Town, mountain biking, restaurants, and lake. Be cautious about lake conditions before swimming or letting dogs swim. We had a skunk walk right through or camp!

Sites are all fairly close together with not a lot of privacy. The lake is beautiful, but expect noise from boats. The vault toilets were clean.

Family oriented destination. Big group fun

Clean, leveled, friendly, only 1/4 mile to their downtown. Friendly and helpful staff, showers, toilets, beach area for swimming WITH lounge chairs, swimming right in front, volleyball court, dog walking trails, fire pits, horse shoe play area, etc! Only wish I was able to do laundry but coming back again! Oh and the best part, great fishing under the bridge!

What a beautiful place, and location to spend a week in October. With all the fall colors in full display, brisk evening air perfect for a fall fire to warm yourself. We could not have picked a better week to stay in October. Great walking paths to view all kinds of wildlife along the river. Met the owner who also owns the Ashley inn right in town, though it was chili at night, and our pipes froze the last night, it was the best October birthday week we have had in a long time. If they were open year-round and our rig was good in the snow, we would be up there every month. Beautiful views, great weather, and we always go and eat at the whistle stop Cafe in town, give their pizza a try.

Fun REC for kids, playground, and party fire pit area. Individual spots were extremely tight. Employee had to help us park (even though we didn't feel like we needed it).

Wonderful people, beautiful park!

Very calm and peaceful this weekend. Able to get our favorite spot by the river.

Very friendly and helpful staff. We had a beautiful site on the river.

What a gem! Next to the Little Salmon River, stand on the bank and watch and hear the River rush by. Lush green grass and picnic tables. Look up to the canyon myna/hill tops all green. Gentle breeze blowing through. I wish I could stay a week but must push on if I am to explore America via the backroads. Don't miss this gem. $35/night!

We stayed in site 8 (full hookups) which is on the river. The view of the river was so spectacular. The river is several feet down with no fence so not the best space if you have young kids (which we don't). The site was large enough to park our 31ft 5th wheel. We had a small lawn for our dog. Easy in/out access through the park. Town with gas, groceries, and restaurants close by. The park was very lovely and maintained. Just a note there isn't shower/restrooms facilities in the park so you will need to use your rigs. We would definitely stay again.

We stayed in site #5 with a 30’ trailer, there was plenty of room for my truck and trailer in this site. The other sites would be tight with a trailer this size. We had great waterfront access, there is no real beach and the slope into the water is steep. My kids are older so it was not a problem. We only stayed one night as some real pieces of work (being polite) moved in and ran us and another family out. I would go back.

Camping in walking a short distance to float the river

As stated in description it's rustic. Not much to it but it did offer a sheltered place to build a fire/get warm and weather a bad storm. In the summer, the long rough road into it is not for everyone. Scenery is good and very quiet. If you want remote with the bare basics, this is the place.
