About
Evans Creek Campground is a free, primitive campground situated along the scenic shores of Anderson Ranch Reservoir in Idaho's Boise National Forest. The campground features 10 first-come, first-served sites equipped with campfire rings, picnic tables, and vault toilets. No potable water is available, so campers should plan to bring an adequate supply. Anderson Ranch Reservoir is a popular destination for fishing, boating, waterskiing, and personal watercraft. The reservoir is stocked with smallmouth bass and kokanee, and anglers can also try fly fishing for trout just below the dam. The area offers additional recreation including day hiking, OHV trail riding, and scenic driving. The nearby communities of Pine and Featherville, located just a few miles away, provide access to restaurants, groceries, and fuel. To reach the campground from Mountain Home, travel 21 miles north on Highway 20, turn left on FR 134 for approximately 6 miles, then turn right at the dam onto FR 120 and continue about 7 miles to the campground.
Directions
From Mountain Home, travel 21 miles north on Highway 20, turn left on Forest Road 134 for approximately 6 miles toward Anderson Ranch Dam. At the dam, turn right onto Forest Road 120 and continue northeast approximately 7 miles to the campground.
