Mann Creek Campground
Payette National Forest
Mann Creek Campground is located near the Mann Creek Reservoir in the foothills of the West Central Mountains in western Idaho near the Payette National Forest. The reservoir is a popular boating and fishing destination.
Once on-site, you may be able to pay for your campsite(s) by scanning a QR code using the Recreation.gov mobile app, and the Scan and Pay feature. If this option is available, you will need to first download the free Recreation.gov mobile app https://www.recreation.gov/mobile-app prior to your arrival as some remote areas have limited or no cellular service.
The campground offers 13 sites, two of which are accessible and six sites are available for advanced reservations. Picnic tables, some of which are covered, and fire rings are provided, as are vault toilets and drinking water. Drinking water is often not available in late summer and fall; please call ahead to confirm availability. Roads and most parking spurs are gravel. The campground loop and two accessible sites are paved.
