Camping at Mountain View near Lowman

Public campground · Lowman · 15 campsites

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

About this campground

Recreation centers on the South Fork Payette River, which runs alongside the area and is a base for whitewater rafting, kayaking and trout fishing, with the Deadwood and Danskin river access areas nearby for additional put-ins and shore fishing. Kirkham Hot Springs is less than three miles away and offers several riverside soaking pools; the Banks-Lowman and Ponderosa Pine scenic byways that thread this country offer more hot springs, wildlife-watching pullouts, historical kiosks and trailheads for short hikes or longer explorations.

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (52 reviews, ★ 5.0). Not written or edited by us.

“Campsite was great. Camp host would not even come out of his camper to talk with visitors who had questions. Spoke to us through his window and was very unfriendly and unhelpful. ”

Jacki C 3 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Really great. Keep in mind it’s close to the highway so a fair amount of traffic in and out of the campsite. But amazing. Close to the restaurant. Close to the springs and hiking. Great cell phone reception. ”

How far ahead to book Mountain View

For July weekends, book about 180 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 158 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

August138 days ahead180 days ahead61 days ahead166 days ahead
September82 days ahead161 days ahead51 days ahead89 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 (3,194 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.
