Spring Creek Campground is located along the peaceful Spring Creek in the Hitt Mountains of western Idaho. Visitors enjoy relaxing along the gentle creek, fishing and exploring local trails.
Several miles of hiking, biking and off-road vehicle trails crisscross the area.
The Sturgill Peak Trail climbs to a 7,289-foot summit and an active fire lookout built in 1934. Hikers are rewarded with views of the surrounding Hitt Range and the Wallowa Mountains to the west.
The campground offers several single-family campsites and one large group picnic site than can accommodate up to 100 guests. Picnic tables and fire rings are provided, as are accessible vault toilets and drinking water.
The campground is situated beneath tall ponderosa pine and fir trees at an elevation of 4,750 feet. Summer temperatures are hot during the day, but the surrounding trees provide ample shade.
The Payette National Forest encompasses some of Idaho's most beautiful and diverse country. Located in west-central Idaho north of Boise, the 2.3 million-acre forest extends 100 miles west to east from Hells Canyon to the Middle Fork Salmon River, and 70 miles north to south from the Salmon River to the Weiser River.
Mann Creek Reservoir is about 15 miles from the campground, offering boating and fishing opportunities.
From Weiser, Idaho, travel north on Highway 95 for approximately 12 miles, then turn onto Upper Mann Creek Road/Forest Road 009 and travel another 18 miles to the campground.
Spring Creek Group Site Daily Rates are $15.00 per day for 1-25 people, $20.00 per day for 26-50 people, $25.00 per day for 51-75 people and $30.00 per day for 76-100 people.
Stunning views from Sturgil Lookout. Rough rough road getting up to camp but beautiful.
We found a very beautiful gem we had never been aware of! Quiet, clean relaxing wknd. Water spigots available and wood in each campsite.
Love being wrapped up in dense forest in the campground. Significantly cooler than the valley and only 2 hours from Middleton. The road up here is somewhat washboarded from all of the trailers but it's another little hidden gem of our state. I try to get up here at least once every couple years with our scout unit.
This campground was wonderful 👌🏻
Very clean, gorgeous location, just the right amenities for camping 🏕️ more remotely about 22 miles off the beaten path (Hwy 95). The nearby interpretive trails were lot too long or difficult, but very informative 👍🏻 Definitely going back and recommending. Our camp host Lori/Laurie was outstanding 🏅
