102 First Street East Fairfield, ID 83327
Small groups or families who want a free base camp for hiking the South Fork and North Fork Soldier Creek trails. The whole campground can be reserved as a group site for up to 50 people, and summer nights dropping into the 30s-50s°F keep things comfortable.
Full hookups or flush toilets are on your must-have list. It's vault toilets and a hand-pump water source here, and with only five sites, any reservation window that slips will leave you without a spot entirely.

Summer delivers the most reliable conditions, with daytime highs ranging from the mid-60s to mid-80s°F and cool nights dropping into the 30s to 50s°F. The campground is fully serviced after Memorial Day, when potable water becomes available. Wildflowers peak in early summer, and creeks run high enough for fishing and wading. Afternoon thunderstorms are possible. The campground typically closes for winter due to snow. With only five units, crowds stay moderate even during peak summer months.
Summer provides most reliable conditions; campground serviced and water available starting Memorial Day.
