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.
The river is the campground's main attraction: the South Fork Payette drops down a small hill beside the site and is a place for trout fishing, rafting and kayaking, with the Danskin River access roughly 5 miles to the west for additional put-in points. A short 1/4-mile nature trail begins in the campground and leads down to a natural hot springs soaking pool on the riverside, and several other hot springs pools lie along the Wildlife Canyon Scenic Byway (the Banks-Lowman Highway).










Length limits vary by campsite.

“Good spot for camping. Loved having the river and hot springs close. Vault toilet was out of toilet paper and very full when we arrived so it was good we brought our own.”

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 (4,721 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.
