Campground Overview

About Paris Springs Campground

Paris Springs Campground in Preston, Idaho, offers a tranquil escape set in the lush, shaded landscape of Paris Canyon. Located at an elevation of 6,600 feet, this campground is surrounded by mixed conifer and aspen trees, creating a cool, serene environment punctuated by vibrant summer wildflowers. Its peaceful setting is complemented by Paris Creek, which meanders through the campground and can be explored via a short walking trail to the natural Paris Spring.

This small, intimate campground features nine single-family sites and three group sites, equipped with essentials like picnic tables, fire rings, vault toilets, and potable water. The absence of electricity and dirt-paved roads enhances the back-to-nature experience. Nearby recreational highlights include access to the Highline Trail, a 55-mile route through the stunning Bear River Range, ideal for hiking, mountain biking, and off-road adventures. The nearby Paris Ice Cave and Bear Lake, just 20 miles away, expand opportunities for exploration, fishing, and water sports.

Situated just five miles from the quaint town of Paris, the campground is a gateway to Southeast Idaho’s rugged beauty and outdoor opportunities. Its secluded yet accessible location makes it perfect for various camping trips, from weekend family outings to adventurous group excursions.
