About

Lafferty Campground is a small, quiet campground with 8 sites nestled along a creek in the Hornet/Cuddy Mountain area of Payette National Forest. Located 20 miles northwest of Council, Idaho via Hornet Ridge Road, the campground provides a peaceful setting for those seeking a remote forest experience without venturing too far from paved roads. The campground features a paved loop road that accommodates medium-sized RVs, though no hookups are available. Each site includes a picnic table, and vault toilets are provided. Drinking water is typically available from a hand pump during the summer season. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on leash. All sites operate on a first-come, first-served basis at $10 per night. Campers can pay on-site using the Recreation.gov mobile app's Scan and Pay feature. Check-in is at 2:00 p.m. and check-out at 11:00 a.m.

Directions

From Highway 95 in Council, Idaho, take the Council to Cuprum Road #002 (Hornet Ridge Road) twenty miles northwest to the campground.
