Narrow road

The road leading up to sites is very narrow and steep grade. With a trailer you do not have enough room for any oncoming traffic. Luckily it is not a busy road. Nice spots along the river. Spotty cell service.

Forest and stream

Really enjoyed this secluded campground. It's a little over 2 miles off the main highway on a decent gravel road. I will say however that this road is on the side of a steep hill and is mostly a one lane road. If towing a trailer You may have problems getting by on coming traffic. There are not many wide spots available to get by on coming vehicles. The campground is really nice . Many of the spots are shady with a lot of trees and the sound of Goose Creek tumbling by is wonderful. Love the trailhead access at the end of the campground and the 2 and a 1/2 mile or so hike to Goose Creek falls.

Perfect weekend away from Boise

Stayed at this campsite in late July and it was very quiet and not every campsite was occupied. Karen, the camp host is an absolute sweetheart and gave us some really good recommendations for the are. The highlight was definitely the abundance of huckleberries on the Goose Creek trail. You barely have to search for them! Also great that if your camp food gets tired, McCall is only 15 minutes away for a burger and beer!
