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

These are campsites managed by national, state, city, and county parks; the Forest Service; BLM; and the Idaho Power Company. They’re in 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.
