About
Cozy Cove Campground is located on the southeast shore of scenic Deadwood Reservoir at an elevation of 5,300 feet in the Boise National Forest. The campground sits on a bluff overlooking the reservoir, with all 16 sites providing lake views. A mixed-growth pine forest covers the campground, offering plentiful shade, and summer wildflowers are abundant throughout the area. Because of its remote location, Deadwood Reservoir is quiet and unpopulated, making it ideal for fishing enthusiasts targeting Chinook and Kokanee salmon, as well as rainbow and cutthroat trout. The reservoir is popular for boating, water skiing, canoeing, and kayaking. A concrete boat ramp is located on-site for convenient lake access. The area offers numerous trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and off-road vehicle use. This primitive campground provides vault toilets and drinking water. Roads and parking spurs are dirt surfaces. The campground is accessible via Forest Road 579 from Banner Creek/Cape Horn Summit, though Forest Road 555 (Scott Mountain Road) is narrow, rough, and not recommended, especially for trailers.
Directions
From Boise, travel north on State Highway 55 to Banks (38 miles). Turn right on Highway 17 to Lowman (31 miles). At Lowman, turn left on Highway 21 and continue northeast past Banner Summit approximately 40 miles. Turn west on Forest Road 579 at Banner Creek/Cape Horn Summit, travel through Bear Valley past Elk Creek Guard Station, then turn left at the intersection with Forest Road 555 and proceed south to the reservoir on the southeast end.
