About

Mann Creek Campground is located on Bureau of Reclamation land near Mann Creek Reservoir in the foothills of the West Central Mountains in western Idaho, about 15 miles north of Weiser. The campground offers 13 sites, including two that are fully accessible for people with disabilities. Sites feature picnic tables (some covered), fire rings, and vault toilets, though no potable water or hookups are provided. The campground loop and accessible sites are paved, while roads and spurs are gravel. Mann Creek Reservoir lies at 3,300 feet elevation in the rolling and arid foothills of the Hitt Mountains. The area experiences hot, dry summers with limited shade, though large trees provide some relief from intense sun. The reservoir offers 283 surface-acres of water and five miles of shoreline, though water levels fluctuate seasonally. Popular activities include motorized boating, canoeing, swimming, and fishing for rainbow trout, crappie, and largemouth bass. The surrounding lands are open to hunting for waterfowl and upland game birds. Sites cost $10 per night for single sites and $15 for double sites, payable by cash, check, or via the Recreation.gov mobile app using the Scan and Pay feature. Interagency Senior and Access passes provide 50% discounts on single campsites only. Dogs are welcome throughout the campground but must be kept attended. Reservations are available through Recreation.gov, with some sites offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
