Mann Creek Campground is located near the Mann Creek Reservoir in the foothills of the West Central Mountains in western Idaho near the Payette National Forest. The reservoir is a popular boating and fishing destination.
The reservoir offers 283 surface-acres of water and five miles of shoreline. Visitors enjoy boating, canoeing, swimming and trout fishing.
The campground offers 13 sites, two of which are accessible and six sites are available for advanced reservations. Picnic tables, some of which are covered, and fire rings are provided, as are vault toilets and drinking water. Drinking water is often not available in late summer and fall; please call ahead to confirm availability. Roads and most parking spurs are gravel. The campground loop and two accessible sites are paved.
Mann Creek Reservoir lies in the rolling and arid foothills of the Hitt Mountains. At an elevation of 3,300 feet, the area is hot and dry in the summer months. Large shade trees help block some of the intense sun, but shade is limited.
For facility specific information, please call (208) 549-4200.

Its probably a great place to go if u have a boat. Alot of people although was there during Memorial Weekend. Lots of locals enjoying themselves. They have picnic areas and pullins to them they have 2 boating areas with ramps and a campground which is about 20 spots or so nice little place to get away.
Okay, if you've never been here, there's no shade. It's an oasis reservoir in the middle of the dry foot hills, with only a few trees near the north shore. It's a bit of a dust bowl. It's great for boats, or jet skis but for paddling and relaxing with the family I wouldn't go. The water levels seem to drop quickly, as well.
Mixed emotions for sure... It had been a few years since my last visit, and it's certainly not the way I remembered it.
It's nice enough, camp sites are good enough, fishing is good enough, etc.
