About
Barneys Campground occupies a scenic position on the northeast shore of Deadwood Reservoir at 5,300 feet in the Boise National Forest. The 8 campsites are nestled in a mixed-growth pine forest that provides ample shade and views of the reservoir. Summer wildflowers are abundant throughout the area. The remote location makes Deadwood Reservoir quiet and unpopulated compared to more accessible destinations. Fishing is exceptional for Chinook and Kokanee salmon as well as rainbow and cutthroat trout. Boating, water skiing, canoeing, and kayaking are popular activities, with a developed boat ramp available approximately 5.75 miles away at Cozy Cove Campground. The surrounding area offers numerous trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and ATV use. This is a primitive campground with vault toilets, picnic tables, and seasonal drinking water but no electricity, showers, or hookups. Roads and parking spurs are dirt.
