Free, drive-in access and full hookups at no cost make Picabo Angler Silver Creek RV Park an unusual stop along Idaho Highway 20. The layout is an open five-acre field with a gravel road looping the perimeter. No designated sites. Campers pick a spot along the road, which keeps the setup flexible but also means the experience varies depending on where you park and how many rigs have arrived ahead of you.
Most spots are long and level, with water and electric available at the majority of them, plus a dump station on-site. Fire pits are shared between one or two adjacent spots, and picnic tables are present, though at least one reviewer found theirs noticeably uneven. A small creek runs along the edge of the field. The feed store next door sells propane, and a small market sits across the road, which is useful for quick resupply. Fly anglers will recognize the area: Silver Creek, known regionally for its fly fishing, runs nearby, and Silver Creek West Access Area provides another base for anglers working that stretch of water.
"Not so much a destination if you're not into world class flyfishing," notes Bobby, which fairly captures the campground's appeal. Several visitors have used it as a staging point for Craters of the Moon National Monument day trips. The bathrooms have drawn mixed reports, and the irrigation sprinklers can activate without warning. Worth a look if you need a no-cost overnight with hookups in this part of south-central Idaho.
