Found at the confluence of the Crooked River and Willow Creek, the Willow Creek Campground (Idaho City) is only 16 miles outside of Idaho City. Each of the four campsites can comfortably accommodate up to six people, and they're equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and grills. There's also a vault toilet for campers to use, although you'll need to bring in your own drinking water. The river is a wonderful place to fish for rainbow trout, and in the summer, you'll see a colorful display of wildflowers. Campsites are available on a first come first served basis, and no fee is charged.
