Campground Camping
"Reserve" campgrounds are available at www.recreation.gov.
There are over 70 campgrounds on the Boise National Forest. Some campgrounds are more developed than others with a range of paved roads, pressurized water systems, and more modern restrooms. Others are more primitive with dirt or gravel roads, hand pumped water or no water. Fees vary based on services provided. Many campgrounds and picnic areas are wheelchair accessible.
RV or trailer limitations may apply based on size and available sites. Check with www.recreation.gov for specific facilities available at each campground that are under the reservation system or on the Boise web page for non-reservation campground facilities.
