Camping at Thompson Flat near Burley

Public campground · Burley · 8 campsites · 3 group

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Recreational opportunities radiate outward from the campground: Twin Lakes, immediately across the road, provides picnic areas, horse corrals and trailheads, while Lake Cleveland is about a two-mile drive and offers fishing, canoeing and additional hiking routes. The mountain surrounding Thompson Flat supports mountain biking, horse riding and off-highway vehicle trails; Pomerelle Ski Area, just below the campground, runs lifts for summer hiking and biking and operates scenic chairlift rides and limited dining, typically on weekends.

“More gravel needed around fire rings to make the mud manageable during rain. It rains a lot at Thompson Flats and Lake Cleveland. ”

How far ahead to book Thompson Flat

For July weekends, book about 109 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 32 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least
July32 days ahead109 days ahead89 days ahead148 days ahead
August36 days ahead82 days ahead46 days ahead102 days ahead
September30 days ahead60 days ahead30 days ahead70 days ahead

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,033 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
