About this campground

Hot Springs Campground sits at about 3,169 feet on the Banks-Lowman Highway just east of Garden Valley, Idaho, with the South Fork Payette River running across the road. The river is the day-use magnet here anglers, kayakers and whitewater rafters launch from points nearby, and several outfitters in the valley run half- and full-day trips on the South Fork and Main Payette.

Well cared for. Rules are easy to understand. Hot springs are nearby.
Annette B ★ 1 · Jul 2022
Space was extremely misrepresented. It’s not nearly big enough for 5 RV’s. Camp hosts were nice, but told me that since I made the reservation I was responsible for making sure everyone follows the rules. Leash tickets for the group would be mine even though I didn’t even have a dog. So I’m supposed to play hall monitor to my friends just because I made the reservation? Left after one day, but cannot connect with the “manager” to get a refund. He gave unclear instructions on how to request a refund. I reached out for additional help, but we’ve been playing phone tag and I’ve requested he text me the email address. Does not respond with text- will only returns my calls when I am unavailable. It’s the 21st century and he calls from an i-phone- texting an email address is a reasonable request which should be easy to do. Would not recommend this campground or any campground under this management.
