About
Jeanette Campground sits at approximately 6,144 feet elevation in a forested setting within the Payette National Forest, about 30 miles north of McCall, Idaho. The six shaded sites offer a cool retreat during warm summer days, with each site equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with a $10 per night fee. The location provides excellent recreation opportunities. Trail #222 departs directly from the campground, and the Jeanette Creek Trail #140 offers access to the Idaho Centennial Trail. Burgdorf Hot Springs, featuring developed hot pools open to the public, is within walking distance. The historic towns of Secesh and Warren are also nearby. Facilities are primitive: vault toilets are available, but there is no potable water, hookups, or trash service. Campers must bring their own water and pack out all trash. The narrow gravel access road makes this campground best suited for tent camping and small trailers.
Directions
Travel approximately 30 miles north of McCall on the paved Warren Wagon Road (Forest Road 21). Turn left on gravel Forest Road #246 and travel 3 miles. Watch for the campground on your right.
