Camping at Elks Flat Campground near Mountain Home

Public campground · Mountain Home · 2 campsites · 2 group

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking.

About this campground

Elks Flat Campground sits on the eastern bank of the South Fork Boise River at about 4,400 feet, where a grassy meadow opens into stands of cottonwood, aspen, Douglas fir and ponderosa pine at the foot of the Trinity Range. The river runs right along the campground's edge, so swimming, rafting and river fishing for rainbow trout are the immediate draws; Paradise Hot Springs is also nearby and Baumgartner Hot Springs with a soaking pool and nature trail is roughly 16 miles away.

“Everything was clean and stocked. We had a great experience, only one incident with someone from a nearby campground visiting the bathroom. We will definitely be back!!”

Kerry A 5 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Large area for entertaining and playing games, pavilion is great for hot days or rainy days. Volleyball and horseshoes is a bonus. Camp host is great, very accommodating and checks in on bathrooms daily. ”
