About Troutdale Campground
A stay at the Troutdale Campground enables guests to enjoy all the beauty and recreation offered around the Middle Fork Boise River. Weather is usually good from mid-May through late September and is easily accessible by car in good weather, although the road is sometimes rough and the drive can be seemingly long. Checking with the Idaho City Ranger District, 208-392-6681, on road conditions before heading out is recommended. **Natural Features:** The campground is situated along the river and wildlife watchers may want to look for deer and elk. Waterfowl, eagles and osprey are attracted to the river. **Recreation:** Trail 130 begins nearby, leading to Bald Mountain. The Middle Fork Boise River offers excellent trout fishing and good swimming holes. Big game hunting is a popular activity in season.
