Dog Creek Campground

A serene escape in the Boise National Forest, Dog Creek Campground is defined by its tranquil ponderosa pine forest setting, the soft murmur of Dog Creek, and abundant outdoor recreation opportunities. Located four miles from the town of Pine and at the foot of the Trinity Mountain Range, this campground offers a peaceful retreat for nature lovers, with activities such as fishing, hiking, and exploring nearby trails.

The campground features 13 sites, including two group areas and 11 single-family sites, each equipped with fire rings, picnic tables, and access to vault toilets and drinking water. Its gravel roads and parking spurs ensure accessibility for both RVs and tents. The nearby South Fork Boise River, less than a quarter-mile away, is ideal for rainbow trout fishing, swimming, and rafting. Trails like the Green Creek Trail 270 and Cross Cut Trail 172, both close by, invite hikers, bikers, horseback riders, and off-road enthusiasts to explore the diverse terrain.

Within a 30-minute drive, visitors can enjoy the rejuvenating waters of Baumgartner Hot Springs or venture to Kelly Creek Flats Recreation Area for additional hiking opportunities. Set at an elevation of 4,600 feet, this quiet campground also boasts seasonal wildflowers and frequent wildlife sightings, including deer and hummingbirds. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or a brief stopover, Dog Creek Campground offers a perfect balance of solitude and outdoor adventure in south-central Idaho.
