Campground Overview

About Howers Campground

Perched on the northeast shore of Deadwood Reservoir, Howers Campground offers a rustic retreat where pristine waters meet dense forest, providing an ideal base for fishing enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers.

This primitive campground features 10 waterfront sites with direct shoreline access, immersing campers in the tranquil beauty of western Idaho's wilderness. The absence of electricity and basic amenities ensures a genuine off-grid experience, while the surrounding Boise National Forest provides a backdrop of towering pines and diverse wildlife.

Located approximately 30 miles northeast of Lowman, Howers Campground serves as a gateway to the rugged terrain of the Sawtooth Mountains. The campground's secluded setting offers a peaceful escape, with the 3,000-acre Deadwood Reservoir as the centerpiece for recreation. Visitors can enjoy excellent fishing for kokanee and rainbow trout, or explore the area's network of hiking trails that wind through the surrounding forest.

The campground caters to those seeking an authentic outdoor experience, whether for weekend getaways or extended wilderness vacations. Its remote location and lack of modern conveniences attract campers looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in nature. While facilities are minimal, the pristine environment and access to prime fishing and boating opportunities make Howers a hidden gem for outdoor enthusiasts.
