We loved camping here! We are a party of 8, and TBH, this site was maybe a bit too large for us. But we went with it! We felt like we have privacy, we had vault toilets nearby, it was walking distance to the lake, and had shade across the site throughout the day. There were several picnic tables at our particular spot, which made it really easy to "live" here for the week. There were also 2 metal fire pits and one raised grated grill. We only used one firepit, but if there were a lot of people camping here, you could have multiple fires going. We didn't really do any hiking, but instead spent our day paddleboarding on the reservoir. There isn't a ton of "beach" or chill area around where we were, so did mostly stay in the water or at our site. Although we didn't experience a lot of mosquitos, there were quite a few flies, so consider that when planning. Make sure to plan to bring enough supplies for your entire stay, as the nearest town in not close, and the roads getting to the site are both dirt/gravel and not the best to drive on.

One of our favorite placed. So lush and green. The reservoir is full this time of year and there are no motorized boats on the water so swimming and paddling is great. We love the rope swings too.
@BrigitteB951CA · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #20
Very very rough road for 12 miles in washboard horrible. Once past that was very pleasant.
@juliew9220173 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #19
We have camped here 3 years straight. It's a beautiful, forested area. It's not the easiest location to get to--one direction is wash-board roads, the other is windy and narrow. It keeps the less serious campers away.It's a serene hide away with lots of trails to hike, ride, and a beautiful lake filled with fish to catch (thanks to fish and game for stocking the lake!). There's no cell service, no electricity, but there is a fresh spring water pump.We had no mosquitos but quite a few gnats. The smoke from the fire helped.

Campground was lush and beautiful and this site was large and pretty set back. The hosts, Linda and Charles, were friendly and very helpful. Bathrooms were clean and didnt stink. The road getting to the campground was washboard, so very bumpy and made the drive slow. May not be ideal for some trailers. Paddle boarding and kayaking was amazing on Sagehen Reservoir. Its breathtakingly beautiful!
@LawrenceK5C3FF · Camped on Aug 25, 2024 at Campsite #18
Beautiful corner of the world. The campsites are perfect for a woodsy family camping experience. The lake was great trout fishing. The hosts were fantastic and helpful. I loved this place and will try to return every year! Terrible washboard roads on the way up, really rattled the trailer.
@AngelaC1480345 · Camped on Aug 3, 2024 at Campsite #3
Great site for a larger group with additional free overflow parking. Very shaded, right by the lake with lots of extra picnic tables and 3 fire pits, one of them is elevated for easy cooking. Close to vault toilet. Flies, bees and wasps were a nuisance, so definitely bring some traps. We had a great time.
@StefanD5AD72FD · Camped on Jul 31, 2024 at Campsite #8
Very family and kid friendly atmosphere. Linda is the best campground host, and she takes care of any obnoxious or loud people so that others can enjoy the outdoors. Additionally, the facilities are very clean and well maintained; really impressed. We came up multiple times last season, it never disappoints. The lake is great for kids, really enjoyed each visit, thanks
@ElaineI8583B39 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #12
Love this campground. Lush with trees. The camp host was awesome. Quick walk to the lake.
@MoniqueH1B9FEB · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #4
Been coming to Antelope for the last 21 years. A very peaceful lake and campground. Bathrooms are clean and campsites are shady with lots of trees. Great lake for kayaking and paddle boards.
@BFamCamp · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #6
The tent pad fit out 10x14. We had a utility trailer as well the fit. Fairly close to the road.
@ChristineB06DA · Camped on Aug 21, 2023 at Campsite #4
Beautiful lake for fishing, kayaking, and paddle boarding. Well maintained campground with clean restrooms and easy access to the lake. Great job Boise NF! Thank you, I will be back.
@AshleyM6190418 · Camped on Jun 28, 2023 at Campsite #11
The views were amazing. The weather was really nice, warm but not hot. I wish there were more toilets, we had a bit of a walk to get to one. Overall, a wonderful place to be!
@MelissaR426533 · Camped on Jun 16, 2023 at Campsite #18
This is the most beautiful and peaceful campgrounds with lots of opportunities for hiking, kayaking, and exploring! The camp host is also very kind and helpful should you have any questions.
@JulieS4767669 · Camped on Jun 11, 2023 at Campsite #20
The drive in was 18-20 miles of washboard gravel road. Pulling a trailer this was not optimal. Site 20 is not level anywhere. We had to use tree rounds that were about 12 inches to level our trailer out. I couldn't see in camp a level spot for a tent either. The campground in itself is beautiful just not sure this site should be camped in. Maybe a picnic spot? Hiking and kayaking on the lake was great. If we ever go back we'll pick a different site.
@AmieW8134612 · Camped on Jun 11, 2023 at Campsite #3
Absolutely love this place! So many trees, tons of shade, great views and just relaxing. Lots of trails to walk, ride dirt bikes, fishing, rafts in the water, kayaks --- Just a great place to camp with the family.
@DavidY2049239 · Camped on Sep 2, 2022 at Campsite #18
The road was absolutely terrible. So much damage was done to our trailer from both wash board dirt roads that we will never return to this camp grounds. We have camped at other Idaho federal campgrounds in Idaho and Oregon never have we experienced such a terrible experience. I gave you two stars but it should have been 1 star. We where there for Labor Day and you would think it would be full but it was more then half empty.
@EdenL3473127 · Camped on Aug 21, 2022 at Campsite #4
One of my favorite places to camp, by far.
@GregR8740343 · Camped on Aug 8, 2022 at Campsite #16
Beautiful area, lots of shade. The lake was low but that’s to be expected that late in the year.
@EricB5484998 · Camped on Jul 31, 2022 at Campsite #12
Dirt roads to get to the campground and reservoir are a little bumpy/ difficulty for a large trailer. But totally worth it. Beautiful, picturesque landscapes. Clean, well kept, and quiet campground.
@ShirleyG906017 · Camped on Jul 28, 2022 at Campsite #6
Sagehen is a majestic beautiful escape from the city, we thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. We will definitely return. Camp host was very helpful and friendly. Camp sites were clean. All sites had beautiful trees and plenty of shade. Vault toilets were as clean as you could expect. Lake was a welcomed treat in the heat of the day. I would recommend that you bring water toys, rafts, paddle boards, etc. REMINDER you must haul out your own trash
@BruceGO8209274 · Camped on Jul 17, 2022 at Campsite #16
We go each yr. Beautiful area and we always enjoy all the beauty it offers!
@JanaC1497648 · Camped on Jul 17, 2022 at Campsite #19
Clean and comfortable! The trees provide such great shade at camp spots.
@cherishs343504 · Camped on Jun 30, 2022 at Campsite #17
Fun reservoir to play in. Nice cool weather compared to Boise. Lots of wash boards on the road. Leeches on the south end. No cell service/ AT&T and Verizon even with booster pack.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
