Nice and peaceful place to camp. Lots of hiking trails too.
@conniew4138447 · Camped on Aug 10, 2025 at Campsite #13
Beautiful Campground with lots of red pine trees! Restrooms are very clean. We will definitely go back next season! Price is very reasonable for seniors. The only downfall we encountered was the water pump at the campground pumped yellow looking water so we did not use it. It stated on the website it was tested monthly so not sure why it looked so bad.

We loved staying at Grayback. There were so many places you could put up a tent. We were at the group site which comfortably fit all 25 of us.

Clean site, accessible bathrooms, beautiful stars, great fun!
@ShariH70735A53 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #5
As always we had a great time. The campground and it's amenities are clean. Close to Idaho City to take a visit in the shops and walk the town.
@KennethB453248 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #5
Toilet paper in short supply. Never saw a Camp Host in 4 days and what happened to the hand sanitizer?
@AnthonyC360221 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #10
Nice and clean
@DaveS9743514 · Camped on Oct 11, 2024 at Campsite #18
The area is nice and it is easy to get around on foot. The access road is really narrow. We enjoyed the woods and the camp was quiet. We like to fish, but all the access points we found to the creek were posted. The area information said that campers enjoy fishing Mores Creek, but we could not find where this was possible. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.

Spot 5 has a great view of the mountains across the valley. Its a quiet spot, with neighbors not super close. The water pump is directly across the road, and not too far from. The bathrooms.
@RichardP563677 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #12
A really nice campsite with lots of space between sites. But it is more or less boondocking, so bring supplies! Water is available via a hand operated pump.
@DarylYD52A6647 · Camped on Sep 1, 2024 at Campsite #10
Beautiful wooded campground. Good mix of reservable and first come sites. Restrooms are clean. The water, supposedly potable, came out greenish and unusable.
@StewartG94F068 · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #5
Campground has large pine trees that provide good shade most of the day. Most sites are pretty level, with a few that have some slope. Most sites are easy to back into, but there are several that are backwards, making it hard to position a trailer. The water coming from the pumps was orange-ish, so consider bringing your own water for drinking and cooking.
@keithh9614073 · Camped on May 28, 2024 at Campsite #3
I love grayback because it is quiet and peaceful. There are trails if you like to hike and a small creek if you want to get wet to cool down. Idaho City is only five minutes away if you need any supplies
@DennisF4255863 · Camped on May 27, 2024 at Campsite #17
Nice no amenities campsite near Idaho City. Dump site and water in Idaho City. 34 miles from Boise.
@AlexaJ582FCC67 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #3
This campground has a nice location, and was pretty quiet. Its great for trailers, but was definitely not designed for tent campers. None of the sites have tent pads, and the areas where you can set up a tent are not level at all. We had to set up our tent on the end of the pavement pad which was NOT ideal. Site 3 has a picnic table built for toddlers. Its so close to the ground it was perfect for my 4 year old. Despite all this, the campground itself is great, clean enough toilets, water, and 5 minutes from idaho city. Just wish they had better accommodations for tents.
@MarvinH7707066 · Camped on May 19, 2024 at Campsite #13
Quiet. Campsite clean and had wood.
@DanielleL75117 · Camped on Aug 6, 2023 at Campsite #5
Lovely and quiet campground with beautiful sunsets. A river to explore just down the hill and hot springs a 3 minute drive away!
@AlexeiF0511352 · Camped on Jul 21, 2023 at Campsite #6
Nice campground, less than 1-hour drive from Boise. Well-maintained facilities, clean toilets. Walking access to Mores creek. 5-minute drive to Idaho city gas station and stores. Hot springs near Idaho city is a must do.The campground is located really close to the highway, so some Boise from the cars may spoil the otherwise great camping experience for some. Also, the fire pits are very deep which makes grilling a bit of a chore, bring lots of charcoal and firewood.
@TameraP5997098 · Camped on Jul 7, 2023 at Campsite #13
Beautifully maintained campground with easy access to all campsite’s. Close proximity to town of Idaho city which has a lovely, by reservation only, hot springs. Campsite has plenty of readily available firewood and water.
@josephs9140090 · Camped on Jun 18, 2023 at Campsite #14
They site was clean and well maintained. Close enough to Idaho City so if you forgot something you could grab it, the hot springs were just @3/4 mile away. Enough trails for some beautiful hiking. Lucky Peak is only a 30 minute drive and so much more. The camp host was very friendly for how many sites he had to check on. And the RV dump outside Idaho City was very convenient also.

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.
