About
Pine Flats Campground occupies a scenic stretch of the Banks-Lowman Highway (Wildlife Canyon Scenic Byway) in Idaho's Boise National Forest. At 3,700 feet elevation, the campground provides direct access to the South Fork Payette River, known for its whitewater rafting, kayaking, and trout fishing. A quarter-mile nature trail from the campground leads to a natural hot springs soaking pool right at the river's edge. The campground features 24 single and double-family sites shaded by towering Ponderosa pines. Each site includes a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Roads, parking spurs, and some campsite pads are paved, making most sites accessible. Vault toilets, potable drinking water, and trash collection are provided. No hookups are available. The surrounding area along the Banks-Lowman Highway offers numerous natural hot springs pools, wildlife viewing, and trail opportunities. The Danskin River Access area is 5 miles west. Several outfitters in the area provide guided half and full-day whitewater trips on the South Fork and Main Payette Rivers.
Directions
From Boise, Idaho, take Highway 55 to Banks. Turn east and travel on the Banks-Lowman Highway for 28 miles to the campground.
