Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights16 sites open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Recreation at Grayback centers on easy access to Mores Creek, which can be reached just below the campground and is regularly fished for whitefish and rainbow trout, and on the short Grayback Loop Trail that begins inside the site and makes a roughly one-mile walk. Beyond the immediate campground there are extensive trail networks north of Idaho City for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and off-highway vehicle use, and the area turns into a backcountry skiing and snowmobiling zone in winter.

















Length limits vary by campsite.

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 (4,131 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.
