About
Park Creek Campground is located 4 miles from Lowman, Idaho, tucked away at the confluence of Park and Clear Creeks within the Boise National Forest. The campground is forested with towering Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir trees that provide ample shade throughout the summer months. Wildlife including black bears, deer, and elk inhabit the surrounding area. The campground contains 24 sites divided into two group areas: the Rainbow Group Site (sites 1-12) and the Trout Group Site (sites 13-24). Each group area can accommodate up to 100 people. When not reserved as group sites, individual sites are available first-come, first-served. Facilities include vault toilets, potable drinking water, picnic tables, campfire rings with grills, and trash collection. Roads and parking spurs are dirt. Park Creek and Clear Creek both provide good trout fishing opportunities. Beautiful Bear Valley lies up the road, offering scenic views, wildlife watching, and trail access for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and OHV use. Natural hot springs can be found along the Banks-Lowman Highway (Wildlife Canyon Scenic Byway) and Highway 21 (Ponderosa Pine Scenic Byway). The South Fork and Main Payette Rivers offer whitewater rafting and kayaking.
