About this campsite
Overview
Big Springs Campground is nestled along the banks of Pebble Creek at an elevation of 6,500 feet, just 16 miles from Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. Visitors enjoy fishing and exploring local trails. Recreation
Pebble Creek offers cutthroat and rainbow trout fishing. Big Springs Nature Trail begins in the site, offering an easy path along the creek.
The multi-use Boundary Trail, for hiking, biking, horseback and off-road vehicle riding, begins in the campground and accesses several additional local trails. Facilities
The campground contains one large group site that can accommodate up to 175 people with a shelter, tables, a campfire ring, grills and parking.
The campground has first-come, first-serve campsites and reservable campsites. Visitors can first check with the campground host for available campsites. If the campground host is not available, visitors must check if the campsite is occupied, and if available pay at the fee tube. Several single and double sites are also available with tables, campfire rings and grills. Some sites have stairs between the parking spur and site pad. Single and double sites on the less shady Loop B have picnic shelters. Two equestrian sites are available with horse corrals and hitching racks. Potable water and vault toilets are provided.
Security is provided by the host and periodic patrols by the county sheriff.
This campground is managed by Pinnacle Parks LLC under a special use permit with the Caribou-Targhee National Forest. For any questions please call 208-757-3999 between the hours of 8am and 9pm.
Natural Features
