Ten Mile Campground

How does a tranquil creekside retreat, surrounded by towering Ponderosa pines and blooming wildflowers in the summer, sound for your next camping adventure? Ten Mile Campground, located just 10 miles beyond Historic Idaho City along State Highway 21, offers a serene escape within the Boise National Forest. Divided into Upper and Lower sections by the highway, this small yet picturesque campground provides easy access to natural beauty and outdoor activities.

The 15 campsites are well-equipped with fire rings, picnic tables, and vault toilets. Some sites sit alongside the gently flowing Mores Creek, perfect for fishing or enjoying the soothing sounds of the water. Trails nearby beckon hikers, mountain bikers, and off-road enthusiasts, while winter transforms the area into a haven for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. Amenities such as potable water from a hand pump (availability subject to seasonal maintenance) add to the convenience, though visitors should plan to pack out their trash as no waste services are available.

Nestled within a 30-minute drive of scenic hot springs and surrounded by the lush Boise National Forest, Ten Mile Campground is ideal for weekend getaways or peaceful stopovers. Its location offers both easy highway access and secluded sites immersed in nature, making it an excellent choice for campers seeking a blend of accessibility and tranquility.
