About Barneys Campground (Boise National Forest, Id)

Barneys Campground is located on the northeast shore of scenic Deadwood Reservoir at an elevation of 5,300 feet. Boating, fishing and hiking are popular activities at this site. Please [ click here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jxes7ADgA7w&feature=youtu.be) for further information about the facility and recreation opportunities in the area. Because of its remote location, Deadwood Reservoir is quiet and unpopulated, making for great fishing for Chinook and Kokanee salmon, and rainbow and cutthroat trout. Boating, water skiing, canoeing and kayaking are popular on the lake. A boat ramp is located about 2 miles away at Cozy Cove Campground. Many trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback and ATV riding are in the area. This primitive campground offers waterfront sites with direct shoreline access. Vault toilets are provided, but there is no electricity. Drinking water is provided…
