Hayfork Group Cg

Hayfork Group Campground is located 49 miles northeast of Boise, Idaho, along scenic Highway 21. Historic Idaho City is just 12 miles south of the campground. Visitors enjoy fishing in Mores Creek and exploring local trails. Mores Creek runs between the highway and the campground, offering whitefish and rainbow trout fishing. Numerous trails are in the area, providing ample opportunities for hiking, biking, horseback riding and off-road vehicle riding. In the winter, the area becomes a playground for back country skiers and snowmobiles. This group campground provides four drive-in single campsites, two walk-in single campsites, and one large tent-only group campsite. It can accommodate up to 50 people and is a great location for family reunions or small weddings. The site is equipped with multiple tables, a grill and a campfire circle with benches, and there is also a large open general parking area for excess vehicles. Vault toilets, a handpump for drinking water and a dumpster are provided, and parking spurs are paved. Due to the campground's proximity to the highway, some noise from passing traffic is to be expected. Sites 1, 2 and 6 (the group site) are tent-only and use the general parking lot. Site 7 is also tent-only, but has its own driveway, 44 feet long by 19 feet wide. Sites 3, 4 and 5 take RV, trailer and tent use, with driveways measuring 25 by 20 feet, 33 by 25 feet and 43 by 31 feet respectively. The campground is situated at the foot of a Ponderosa pine-forested hillside along Highway 21, at an elevation of 5,100 feet; the campsite itself, however, is in an open area with limited shade. Hayfork Creek flows through the campground, and wildlife and summer wildflowers are abundant in the surrounding area. Highway 21, also known as the Ponderosa Pine Scenic Byway, snakes along Mores Creek to Mores Creek Summit, Gold Fork and Banner Ridge, offering historic sites, hot springs pools and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and forest along the way.
