Troutdale Forest Camp

Troutdale Forest Camp
Troutdale Forest Camp is located on the Middle Fork of the Boise River just above the split between the North Fork and the Middle Fork. On the Middle Fork the river is smaller than on the Boise River and if possible, more picturesque. Troutdale is at a bend in the river so the river curves around the campground. This country is fully covered with a mature pine forest. It is beautiful country for hiking, biking, four wheeling and horseback riding. Still most people come here to fish and camp. You will certainly find a prospector or two mixed in along this stretch of the river.

Amenities

Campsites
There are four RV / tent camping sites. The camp is open and spacious, large RVs would easily fit in here. However, the road in would probably stop most people. Each site has a picnic table with a fire pit and a separate barbecue.
Water
Bring your own drinking water as there is none available here.
Restroom
There is one newer vault style outhouse here. It was clean and well maintained at our visit.
Pets
Pets on a leash please.
Handicap Access
For a fairly remote camping site, this camp would be one of the more handicap accessible campgrounds because it is more open and level. However, the toilet is the only thing actually handicap accessible.
RV Dump Site
No.
Phone Service
No phone or cell service is available in Troutdale Camp.
Garbage Services
No garbage service, pack it out with you.

Recreation

Fishing
Fishing is available in the Boise River and both the Middle and North Forks of the Boise River. At its elevation, trout (hence the name "Troutdale") would be the fish of choice, mainly rainbow.
Boating
No boating, dock or ramp.
Swimming
Swimming in the Boise River would certainly be an option, however, use your own judgment on the safety factors.
Wildlife
This area is home to mule deer, rocky mountain elk, black bear and many other wildlife species.
