Casino Creek Campground

Located near Redfish Lake and Stanley it was nicely situated across the river from the road which helped quiet the road noise. The whole river corridor in this area is very busy and even the dispersed camping areas are full. The road in was well maintained and easy to navigate with nice turn around at the end. We found a nice little sandy beach area by the trailhead on the river to swim safely. Very little shade and it was hot! Great water pump and the water was tasty.

Well I would have like to stay here since I came from Nampa. But unfortunately non equestrians are allowed to use the equestrian spots, according to the Park Ranger. Yet equestrians are not allowed any where else. Sound fair to you?

It's close enough to Redfish Lake to day use there, and still quiet enough to get some sleep at night. There's a great trail that begins at the end of the campground for horses, hiking, and biking (both mountain and motor). There are several hot springs that dump into the river within a couple minutes. The campsites themselves could use a little work. There wasn't water available when we went, but there's plenty of places nearby to get more water. Take toilet paper (the availability is spotty in the bathrooms). If you have problems sleeping I would recommend a sleeping pad or air mattress. Overall a great experience though.

Wide spaces, river access outside your rv, beautiful setting, inexpensive...what's not to like? I imagine in season it's crowded. Come in the fall. Cooler temperatures but fewer people. Close to Stanley and sufficient services for in the country. There was a Bbear in the area warning. It's an adventure.

Stayed is Spot 13. Not much shade. Well was not available during our stay. Bear activity was high and a trap was in place. Road nose from light traffic on 75 was minimal on a Saturday evening.
