Camping Idaho: A Comprehensive Guide to Public Tent and RV Campgrounds

Looking for the ideal spot to pitch your tent or park your RV? Camping Idaho will take you there.

This comprehensive guidebook gives detailed descriptions of more than 300 public campgrounds throughout Idaho’s widely varied scenery. These are campsites managed by national, state, city, and county parks; the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management; and the Idaho Power Company. They’re in the remote wilderness areas and near cities, in deserts and on mountaintops, along roaring streams and by popular fishing and boating lakes.

Easy-to-use maps and charts will help you choose the perfect site for your next camping trip, whether you’re going alone, with your family, or as part of a group. You’ll also find vital information on campground elevations, facilities and hookups, fees and reservations, recreational activities, and zero-impact camping.

Whether you want to fish, hunt, or just get away from it all, let this book be your guide.
