About this campground

Tucked away beside the gentle waters of Mann Creek, Justrite Campground offers an authentic wilderness experience with four pristine, undeveloped campsites. This hidden gem in the backcountry has become a favorite among mountain bikers seeking adventure on rugged trails and anglers casting for rainbow trout in the creek's cool waters. The dramatic Hitt Mountains provide a stunning backdrop for your outdoor escape. As a true back-to-nature destination, the campground embraces simplicity—there's no potable water on site, so come prepared with your own supply for the ultimate self-sufficient camping adventure.
Justrite Campground consists of four undeveloped campsites near Mann Creek in the Payette National Forest. Sites are first-come, first-served and operate seasonally.
Weather and SeasonsThe camping season at Justrite transforms dramatically as winter releases its icy grip. Early in the year, frost blankets the ground and snow dusts the surrounding peaks, creating a winter wonderland for the hardy few. As spring emerges, the landscape awakens with wildflowers and warming temperatures. By late June through July (weeks 27-29), the campground basks under crystal-clear skies and perfect camping weather, with warm days ideal for trail riding and cool evenings perfect for stargazing around the campfire.
Natural Features and SceneryNestled within the vast expanse of Payette National Forest, Justrite Campground serves as your gateway to untamed wilderness. Mann Creek babbles alongside the campsites, providing a natural soundtrack to your stay and home to native rainbow trout. The surrounding landscape unveils a tapestry of towering pines, wildflower meadows, and rugged mountain terrain. Wildlife enthusiasts will delight in spotting deer at dawn, listening for elk bugling in autumn, and discovering the diverse bird species that call this forest home. The backcountry trails wind through this pristine ecosystem, offering endless opportunities for exploration and discovery.
Geological RegionJustrite Campground sits in the heart of the Payette National Forest, where Mann Creek has carved its path through the landscape over millennia. The imposing Hitt Mountains rise nearby, their ancient peaks telling the geological story of Idaho's rugged interior. A network of backcountry roads and trails crisscrosses this terrain, following ridgelines and valleys shaped by volcanic activity and erosion, creating the perfect playground for outdoor enthusiasts seeking to explore Idaho's raw, natural beauty.
