About
Park Creek Campground is located off the beaten path along Clear Creek Road, 4 miles from Lowman, Idaho, at the confluence of Park and Clear Creeks in Boise National Forest. The campground is divided into two group sites: Rainbow Group Site (sites 1-12) and Trout Group Site (sites 13-24), each accommodating up to 100 people and available by advance reservation. When not reserved as group sites, individual sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The campground is forested with towering ponderosa pine and Douglas fir, providing plentiful shade. Summer wildflowers dot the landscape, and the area is home to black bears, deer, and elk. Both Park Creek and Clear Creek offer good trout fishing, with Clear Creek managed by Idaho Department of Fish and Game as a wild fishery. The campground provides vault toilets, drinking water, trash collection, picnic tables, campfire rings, and grills. Roads and parking spurs are dirt. Nearby attractions include Bear Valley with scenic views and numerous trail opportunities, natural hot springs along the Banks-Lowman Highway and Highway 21 scenic byways, and whitewater rafting on the South Fork and Main Payette Rivers. Various hiking, biking, horseback, and off-road vehicle trails are accessible from the vicinity.
