About
Amanita Campground is a small, scenic campground located on the west shore of Lake Cascade in the Boise National Forest, near Donnelly, Idaho. Situated at 4,850 feet elevation among towering mixed-growth conifers, the campground offers 10 single-family sites equipped with picnic tables, campfire rings, and grills. Some sites provide direct lake views and shoreline access. Vault toilets, potable drinking water, and trash collection are available, though there is no electricity. Lake Cascade provides excellent opportunities for boating, water skiing, canoeing, windsurfing, sailing, and swimming. Anglers can cast for rainbow trout, coho salmon, smallmouth bass, and perch. A boat ramp is located at nearby Rainbow Point Campground. Numerous hiking and ATV trails are accessible in the surrounding area. Wildlife is abundant around the lake, including waterfowl, songbirds, pelicans, and bald eagles. Bears frequent the area, so campers should maintain a clean camp and practice bear-aware food storage. Summer wildflowers bloom throughout the area, adding to the scenic beauty.
