The Best Camping Near Bloomington, Idaho

Shade everywhere here! The creek also runs nearby which makes it nice and cool. There's vault toilets plenty of spigots, and tent pads at most spots. There's some hiking nearby but scrambling around on the nearby limestone cliffs was more enjoyable!

Surrounded by tall trees next to the creek

Having grown up in northeastern Utah, at the base of the Uinta Mountains, I’ve done a lot of camping. However, this is now one of my favorite sites. We went as an extended family, but since the group sites were already reserved, we got 5 sites on the south side of the campground. Everyone loved their site, and we can’t wait to get back. 

Excellent Campground

Beautiful

We have camped here almost every year and it's amazing every time. The wildflowers are beautiful but once it hits late June they are usually gone. The campsites are great. They are close together but it doesn't feel like it because there are so many trees and the creek that runs through the campground is loud enough to drown out other's noise. Great fishing and hiking. The hike to the headwaters is a must and if you're feeling up to it you can hike over the mountain to Bloomington Lake. There's also tons of UTV/ATV trails nearby. I love this place. The only con is that it can get very dusty, especially come July and August when it doesn't rain as much.

Perfect Spring/Early Summer Camping

My boys thought this was the greatest spot we’ve ever found…. Site 53 was by far the best in the camp. Large fire pit, at the back of the campground, the creek was 10 ft from our tent. Trail for hiking right there and the cleanest bathrooms!  Camp host was friendly and helpful with on questions about exploring the area.  My boys could have stayed two weeks fishing the creek!  Lots of trout. Saw a moose! The water was freezing, but clean and refreshing.  It was just the right altitude to provide relief from the summer heat.  We did not have reservations but we’re able to find this spot and several others to chose from on a Monday-Wednesday.  Seems it filled up with reservations from thurs -sun.
