About
Rainbow Point Campground is located next to scenic Lake Cascade in west central Idaho, near the town of Donnelly at an elevation of 4,850 feet. This intimate campground features 8 campsites (6 single-family sites and 2 double sites) tucked among towering mixed-growth conifers. Some sites offer lake views and direct shoreline access, making this an ideal spot for water-based recreation. Boating, fishing, swimming, and hiking are popular activities in this area. Lake Cascade provides excellent opportunities for water skiing, canoeing, windsurfing, and sailing. Anglers can cast for rainbow trout, coho salmon, smallmouth bass, and perch. A boat ramp is located within the campground for convenient water access. The campground is situated in bear country, so campers should keep a clean camp and practice bear awareness. Summer wildflowers are abundant, and wildlife including waterfowl, songbirds, pelicans, and bald eagles can be spotted around the lake.
