About
Abbott Campground sits on the South Fork of the Boise River approximately 2 miles east of Featherville in the Sawtooth National Forest. The campground features 7 single sites and 2 double sites spread across flat terrain beneath towering Ponderosa pines. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring, and two vault toilet restrooms serve the campground. No potable water is available, so campers must bring their own supply. The riverside location makes tubing and fishing popular activities. A footbridge at the west end of the campground crosses the river and provides access to the Abbott Gulch area for hiking and exploration. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations available. Payment is by cash or check only. Pets are allowed but must remain leashed. All campfires must be attended at all times. UTVs, ATVs, and motorcycles are permitted for campground entry and exit only. Horse and pack animals are not allowed in the campground.
