About this campground

Nestled along the pristine waters of the Selway River, Boyd Creek Campground offers an intimate riverside retreat with five thoughtfully spaced camp and RV sites. This tranquil haven welcomes RVs up to 30 feet, providing modern conveniences including picnic areas and restroom facilities while maintaining the wild character of Idaho's backcountry. The gentle murmur of Boyd Creek mingles with the river's song, creating nature's perfect soundtrack for your outdoor adventure.

The campground provides facilities for both tent camping and RV camping. Group camping, cabin lodging, and glamping options are not mentioned.

Weather and SeasonsBoyd Creek transforms with the seasons, offering distinct experiences throughout the year. Summer brings warm days perfect for river activities, while spring and fall paint the landscape in vibrant colors. Winter visitors should note that during the fee season, snow can create challenging access conditions, turning the journey into its own adventure. Always check current conditions before your visit to ensure the best camping experience.

ElevationPerched at 1,600 feet above sea level, Boyd Creek Campground enjoys a mild mountain climate that provides comfortable camping conditions through much of the year. This modest elevation offers the perfect balance—high enough to escape the valley heat in summer, yet low enough to extend the camping season well into autumn.

Natural Features and SceneryThe Selway River serves as Boyd Creek's centerpiece, its crystal-clear waters carving through ancient canyon walls and creating a paradise for anglers and nature enthusiasts alike. Hiking trails wind from the campground into the surrounding wilderness, where towering pines frame distant peaks and wildlife tracks crisscross the forest floor. Whether you're casting a line for native trout or simply soaking in the riverside ambiance, the natural beauty here is nothing short of spectacular.

Geological RegionBoyd Creek Campground rests within the dramatic river canyon carved by the mighty Selway River, one of the original Wild and Scenic Rivers. This geological wonderland showcases millennia of natural sculpting, where water and time have exposed ancient rock formations and created the diverse ecosystem that thrives here today.
