About
Jeanette Campground is a small, forested campground in the Burgdorf Area of Payette National Forest, situated at an elevation of 6,144 feet. The campground offers six shaded sites among the trees, providing relief from summer heat while maintaining cool evening temperatures. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring, making it ideal for tent camping and small trailers. The campground serves as an excellent base for exploring the area's recreation opportunities. Jeanette Creek Trail #140 departs directly from the campground and provides access to the Idaho Centennial Trail, making it popular with hikers. The campground is also within walking distance of the privately-owned Burgdorf Hot Springs, which features three developed pools with sandy bottoms. The historic towns of Secesh and Warren are within driving distance. Access is via Warren Wagon Road and Forest Road #246, a narrow gravel road not recommended for large trailers or motorhomes. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations. There are no hookups, potable water, or trash receptacles, so visitors must pack out all trash. Potable water is typically available in summer months at nearby Burgdorf Campground.
Directions
Travel approximately 30 miles north of McCall on the paved Warren Wagon Road (Highway 21). Turn left on gravel Forest Road #246 and watch for the campground on your right after three miles.
