It's a good spot.
This is a great, convenient little spot.
Great Spot by a Bend in the Creek
A great campground in the South Hills of Idaho that feels like an oasis in the desert! This is one of a few developed campgrounds that you encounter as you head up Rock Creek Rd. Like the other sites in the canyon there are metal camp fire ring, picnic tables, and vault toilets. There are not very many sites, around 5, so don't plan on getting a spot if you arrive after 3 on Friday through the weekend. Any time during the week you should be fine to get a spot as I visited on a Wednesday around 6 and only saw 1 occupied site. The fee per night is $5 and there is a wonderful stream right next to almost every campsite that you can fish in and hang your hammock over. The creek was also low enough to cool off in the waters safely, even with smaller children. Last thing I noticed was a ton of basalt cliffs and cracks that I'm pretty sure haven't been developed for climbing, so if anyone is feeling super ambitious, let me know and we can develop it together!
