About
Overview
Hayfork Group Campground is located 49 miles northeast of Boise, Idaho, along scenic Highway 21. Historic Idaho City is just 12 miles south of the campground. Visitors enjoy fishing in Mores Creek and exploring local trails.
Recreation
Mores Creek runs between the highway and the campground, offering whitefish and rainbow trout fishing.
Numerous trails are in the area, providing ample opportunities for hiking, biking, horseback riding and off-road vehicle riding. In the winter, the area becomes a playground for back country skiers and snowmobiles.
Facilities
This group campground provides four drive-in single campsites, two walk-in single campsites, and one large tent-only group campsite. It can accommodate up to 50 people and is a great location for family reunions or small weddings. The site is equipped with multiple tables, a grill and a campfire circle with benches. There is also a large open general parking area for excess vehicles.
Vault toilets, a handpump for drinking water and dumpster are provided. Parking spurs are paved. Due to the campground's proximity to the highway, some noise from passing traffic is to be expected.

Is HAYFORK GROUP CG fully booked?
A campground showing no availability is almost never full for good. People cancel — plans change, weather turns, someone books three weekends and keeps one — and the site goes straight back into the booking system, usually without warning and often at odd hours. The reason sold-out campgrounds feel impossible is not that sites never free up; it is that nobody is watching at the moment they do.
