About
Cold Springs Campground is one of four campgrounds along Idaho's State Highway 55, nestled in a scenic canyon next to the North Fork Payette River. At 3,878 feet elevation, the campground is forested with a mix of ponderosa and lodgepole pines providing ample shade. Summer days are warm, reaching 80-90 degrees, with cooler nights. This group-only facility features 5 sites that can accommodate 1-50 people, making it ideal for family reunions, scout troops, or other group gatherings. Each site includes a picnic table and campfire ring. Vault toilets and potable water are provided on-site. The North Fork Payette River is a premier destination for expert kayaking, with whitewater rafting available on the Main and South Fork sections. Anglers will find good to excellent fishing for whitefish and rainbow trout. Due to proximity to Highway 55, some traffic noise is expected.
Directions
Located 41.5 miles north of Boise, Idaho. Take State Highway 55 north to Banks (35 miles), then proceed north on Highway 55 for 6.5 miles to the campground on the west side of the highway.
