Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights1 site open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
French Creek Campground sits at about 4,850 feet on the western shore of Lake Cascade, a short drive from the small town of Donnelly and roughly 85 miles north of Boise along Highway 55. The site is divided by West Mountain Road into two distinct neighborhoods: a cluster of lakeside spurs on the east side with closer access to the shore and clear lake views, and a hillside group on the west side where many sites sit under mixed conifers and offer partial views down to the water (several camps require a short set of stairs from the gravel parking spur to reach the tent pad).












Length limits vary by campsite.

“Clean, quiet and just what we needed to tent camp, out of our side by side!”

“I enjoyed the spot, however the tent pad on my site had a lot of bushes/trees that needed trimmed down. I understand I'm camping, shouldn't be a concern haha but it did cause some falling pinecones that landed on my tent during the night. Other than that it was great! ”
“Site 3 was beautiful and well maintained. Perfect spacing between other spots. Exactly what we wanted. The tent pad was big enough for our 6 man tent and the parking spot worked well for our rooftop tent. ”

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 (2,895 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.
