The Best Camping Near Picabo, Idaho

I lucked into stumbling upon this single site campsite along silver creek. I’m not a fisherwoman, but apparently there is some good fishing in the creek. What I loved about this site was that there was only the one site here, with a clean-ish vault toilet(it was getting close to needed a pump out). No traffic sounds, no campground noise, just the creek and the birds and cicadas and a visit from some mule deer. There was a nice picnic table and a tent pad, and, although there was no where to get firewood, a fire pit and grill. I didn’t see any evidence of fish guts, so I am guessing any fishermen would clean their fish in the creek(?). The next morning as I was leaving the area I found 2 more sites that were more developed with a large gravel parking/turnaround and pavilion covered picnic tables that were handicap accessible. But I am glad I camped where I did for the solitude, just me, Silver Creek, some mule deer, and the cicadas and birds.

Solitude alone Silver Creek, wish I fished

We pulled in and were amazed how nice it was to be right by the creek with covered shelter, picnic table, fire ring, and vault toilet and no charge. Two Tent pad sites, or places to pull in with truck/trailer etc. we thought it was nice and quiet, and the fishing seemed like it would have been fantastic if we would have had some time to stay. Silver creek/Picabo anglers not far up the road and is worth the trip.

Well kept, sweet oasis

Nice river is right by parking.not a crowded location. Superrrrr windy. Accessible for most vehicles/flat parking. Confirmed brown trout 


Silver creek

Peaceful little gem in a beautiful area. Everything was very well maintained and clearly marked. Had the whole Place to myself in April and good cell service as well. I believe there are 2 sites with bathrooms and a tent area as well as one or two spots you could pull over and car camp.

Nobody was around when i was there so i just parked next to the bathroom on the northernmost site, not sure if thats the intended area but it worked for me. The short gravel road was a little rigid getting in but no potholes or anything, any car should be able to make it.

Great Spot!

Use satellite view to see the sites. One site had a picnic table, tent pad and pit toilet, but was already occupied. The second location had two picnic tables with awnings, two tent pads and one pit toilet, complete with a mouse. We took the further site and a couple arrived at the other site around 7pm. It was very pleasant and quiet, but might not be if there were several campers in the large parking lot. Great, clean spot by the creek.

Pleasant surprise 

Paved parking spot, with access for a smaller camper; a few tent sites. Drop toilet, fire pit, picnic bench, Disabled parking spot. True tranquility and bliss, and skies for days. 

Modern Primitive Glory (N. Site)

Arrived later than I wanted and was thrilled to find site 1, I believe this was the North entrance, was available. Great spot with a pit toilet and table. Plenty of room to park and level. Loved listening to the creek all night. Wet a fly the next morning and caught a great brown trout. Lots of little dinkers, too.

Great night on Silver Creek

Delightful creekside free campsites! Turn at the BLM sign and take a little gravel road to several free creekside spots! There are at least two pit toilets, one at a spot with two picnic tables, each has a great shade, fire pit, and a place for a camp stove! One has a flat raised gravel spot for a tent, which was good because we actually saw a couple mice. The second pit toilet was further down the road at a more separated spot, it looked like it was ADA accessible and also had a picnic table, etc. 
Close enough to Carey to get gas/ice. Only giving it 4 stars because of the mice (pack out your own trash guys! It isn’t hard!) and the complete lack of trees, the covers over the picnic tables did proved shade, but it still got crazy hot. 

Creekside! 

I spent a few days here and really liked it. There are a few more established sites with tables and covered pavilions. I opted for a pull out site for more privacy. The creek is very peaceful, and there's decent cell service.

Really Cute Site

Next to the river, so some mosquittos in the evening, but well worth it!

Beautiful spot

The river is right up against the parking lot! Looks like there’s maybe also a private RV lot too? But there’s a large communal parking lot at the top. Bathroom facility as well. 

Stunning & Quiet

Great spots near a slow moving river with bathrooms and shade and picnic tables. The best dispersed camping I have ever found! No trash, so pack it out, and the toilets are buggy, but the scenery and privacy is worth it. You get in far enough and get hidden by sage brush!

Gorgeous Spot on the River

Tables, pit toilets and campfires are available in spots on the river

Gorgeous spot on the river 

I got a spot right by the creek but a ways away from the bathrooms. 

Great spot

Small campground, and not far off the main hwy. Very clear stream and beautiful rock features.
