![]() I have never heard of bear bothering this campground, but one would be wise to use caution with your food and garbage. Swimming: I am sure campers swim, however there is no "swimming" area. However, many also come for the trail riding, hiking, bird watching and other fun.įishing: The reservoir is stocked regularly with some very nice trout.īoating: Boating is allowed and there are several docks and ramps however it is a "no wake lake". Recreation: People come here for the camping and fishing. Picnic Area: There is a small picnic area at the T dock with only 1 tables. Pets: Pets must be leashed or under close control at all times. Gathering firewood from the property is prohibited. Kings Point has 4 handicap equipped campsites with cement paths to the toilets and paved roads throughout.įirewood: Bring your own. Handicap Accessible: Yes, the outhouses are handicap accessible as are the new docks. Restroom: Vault Style outhouses are available and they were very clean and well stocked. Garbage Services: This is a "Pack it in, Pack it out" campground. Water: There is no potable water currently but you can get non-potable water from a well in Trout Landing which may be used for cooking and RV toilets/showers. Host on Site: There is always a host on duty in King's Point and another in the "admin" area near Trout Landing. Checkout thier facebook page for available sites. Picnic tables are being added as each loop is remodeled. Trout Landing are graveled and the rest are dirt gravel mix. In addition, they have cement paths to the toilets and both boat launches are paved. Both Osprey Bay and Easters Cove are currently being remodeled so this review will have to be updated later. Kings Point has been paved, both roads and driveways. While Osprey Bay(18), Easters Cove(8), Timber Bay(8), Kings Point(28) and Bear Knob(16) are on the west side. ![]() The name Horsethief Creek will be going away and both loops will be referred to as Trout Landing(15 sites). Trout Landing and Horsethief Creek are on the NE side of the lake. Towards the bottom of thier page there is a link to a brochure for the campground and it is well done.Ĭampsites: There are 5 loops in Horsethief Reservoir Campground. The YMCA administers the campgrounds and they have a good website. The east side of the lake is private property and is posted "Do Not Trespass". The YMCA has a large facility on the south end of the reservoir that is off limits to the general public. During the summer, the lake can be very crowded. It is surrounded by gently rolling forested hills. Horsethief Reservoir is almost 2 miles long and one half mile wide. There are 270 acres on the north and west sides on the reservoir. It is not a state park as some other sites indicate. The Horsethief Reservoir Campground is owned by the Idaho Dept of Fish and Game. The hosts were available and did thier job well. I wonder if people and hosts were having a hard time adjusting to the $15 daily fee schedule. We have had several negative comments posted over the last couple years however we did not observe any of these negative circumstances during our visit. We provide infomation about this campground based on our observations and conditions may change over time. does not own, manage or make reservations for this campground.
