From the rugged Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness to the pristine waters of Priest Lake, Idaho's diverse landscapes provide the perfect backdrop for memorable group adventures.

Best Time

Tips & Recommendations

  • 1Reserve group sites six months in advance through Recreation.gov for summer weekends, as popular facilities like Fish Creek Group Use and Bonanza CCC fill quickly.
  • 2When booking guard stations, carefully review the amenity list—some provide full kitchens and bedding while others require you to bring sleeping bags and cookware.
  • 3For large groups, designate a trip coordinator to handle the single reservation and collect payments from participants, as most sites allow only one reservation holder.
  • 4Pack layers regardless of season, as Idaho mountain weather can shift dramatically with afternoon thunderstorms common in July and August.
