About

Cold Springs Campground is one of four campgrounds along Idaho's State Highway 55, next to the North Fork of the Payette River. This area is a popular location for river rafting trips and camping. The campground rests at 3,878 feet. The North Fork of the Payette River is a very popular location for expert kayaking. Whitewater rafting is nearby on the Main and South Fork sections of the Payette River. Anglers will find good to excellent fishing for whitefish and rainbow trout. The campground is situated in a scenic canyon just above Highway 55, with a mix of ponderosa and lodgepole pines providing plenty of shade. Summer days are warm, reaching 80-90 degrees; nights are cooler. The campground has five sites situated as a group area, each with a picnic table and campfire ring. Vault toilets are provided. Because of its proximity to the highway, some noise from passing traffic is to be expected.
