About
Tie Creek Campground is one of five campgrounds situated along the Middle Fork of the Payette River corridor, approximately 10 miles north of Crouch in the Boise National Forest. The campground occupies a forested riverside setting among Douglas fir and lodgepole pine trees, with several sites offering views of the river through the streamside vegetation. Wildlife in the drainage includes deer, elk, and red-tailed hawks. The Middle Fork Payette River provides good to excellent fishing throughout the season, with anglers targeting rainbow trout and whitefish. Numerous trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and ATV use are accessible from the area, including the One Spoon Trail, Rattlesnake Trail, and 465 ATV Trail. In-season big game hunting for deer, elk, and bear draws visitors to the surrounding mountains.
