Hayspur Fish Hatchery Campground

Easy access by a paved road off of highway 20. All sites are on mowed weeds/grass and not numbered. Sites can be back in or pull through depending on your height near the trees on the perimeter. The center area is clear of trees, so easy access for big rigs. There were movable tables and fire rings.

Open May 15 - October 31, free but donations are accepted and managed by Idaho Fish and Game. On site is a small working hatchery, a fishing lagoon and a short nature hike along a steam. There is a 10 day camping limit.

Many camped here were fishermen fishing the local rivers. There appeared to be a camp host, but we did not see anyone. The pit toilets were not stocked. Potable water and trash available.

Our stay was on the windy side, so we did not have a problem with mosquitos.

Nice place to setup for free (free will donation). Potable water, lots of options for camp site that all
Appeared to be easy access for even larger rigs. There is a fishing pond, and nice views.

The marsh lands around the campground produce hoards of mosquitoes. We couldn’t really enjoy the beautiful evening because the mosquitoes were so bad.

Little to no cell service for Verizon. Starlink worked great.

We would camp here again if passing through.

We went to Craters of the Moon to check it out and hoped to have a campsite there (first come, first serve), but the only site large enough to accommodate our rig was taken. So we finished touring the park (highly recommend - lots of neat little trails to explore) and drove on looking for a place to stay the night. We stayed here June 3, 2022.

We found this campground and what a gem. Easy access, lots of pull-thru sites, although nothing marked. All grassy areas, some trees between sites. Most sites had a fireplace, some had a picnic table. The grass was overgrown but not a big deal. No hookups, toilet on site, but I didn't use it.

Quiet and peaceful. There is a pond and creek for fishing and a nature trail.

I had great cell service.

We stayed here with two other friends with big fifth wheels and HDTs (heavy duty trucks). We had no issues. The road in to the campground from the highway is paved, the campground itself has gravel roads. You can park anywhere, it's like a big field in the middle (great for pull-thru) and back-ins on both sides. We were able to pull around in a big circle to park our rig instead of backing in. Fortunately there's been no rain for quite some time, otherwise it might be sketchy, we're really heavy.
Big rigs take note - DO NOT go in the first entrance. Its a sharp turn in and then a downhill and turn. Very tight to maneuver and you might damage something underneath. Take the road a little further past the campground area and come in the second entrance. Much flatter and easier. It's all dry camping, and they take donations.
Mosquitoes were out in force in June, be prepared.
