Bull Trout Campground is located on the shores of beautiful Bull Trout Lake at an elevation of 6,900 feet. The lake offers great fishing and canoeing opportunities. Many trails for hiking, biking, horseback and off-road vehicle riding are in the area.
Bull Trout Lake offers excellent canoeing and kayaking opportunities, as the lake is for non-motorized watercraft only. Anglers fish for brook and rainbow trout. A primitive boat ramp is located on the west side of the lake.
Martin Lake is nearby, offering canoeing and fishing. The lake is stocked with rainbow trout.
Many miles of trails can be found in the area, including the 11-mile Warm Spring Trail for hikers. The 35-mile Kirkham Ridge Trail is open to hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and dirt biking.
This campground contains group, equestrian and single and double campsites, many of which are accessible. The group sites can accommodate up to 50 people each. Equestrian sites each contain a corral and large parking spur. Some sites are on the waterfront and have direct lake access, others have lake views.
Vault toilets, drinking water and trash collection are provided. Roads and parking spurs within the campground are dirt. A campground host is on-site.
The campground is situated in a mixed-growth forest of Douglas fir and lodgepole pine, which offers partial shade. Summer wildflowers are abundant.
From Boise, Idaho, take State Street to Highway 55 north. At Banks, take Highway 17/Banks-Lowman Highway to Lowman. Take Highway 21 east to milepost 107. Turn left on Forest Road 520. Proceed on dirt road 2 miles to the campground.
There is a $5 fee for vehicles entering the campground for day use.
A beautiful and mostly quiet place to camp. I think the paddle only rule for this lake helps the noise level. A little pricey and very hard to find a spot. Maybe just because of it being pandemic hour though.
Absolutely amazing camping with lots of water front spots by far my families favorite spot to camp. There are many ponds and one lake other than bull trout so everyone can have a good time without feeling crowded which is good because it’s always packed!!
An awesome place to spend a few hours or a few days. Check out Martin Lake too!
Gorgeous lake that only allows non-motorized vehicles - leads to calm waters that are great for fishing or floating around! Large, well-maintained camping spots create an awesome getaway! Would highly recommend and definitely return!
Beautiful mountain lake with quiet campground! The camp host were so nice and did a fantastic job cleaning the restrooms.
