The best camping in Ward Memorial Park, ID guide

Overview

About

Setting up camp near Ward Memorial Park is not only an outdoor adventure but also a meaningful voyage through the regions history. This site commemorates the poignant story of the two young boys who were the only survivors of a Native American attack on Alexander Ward's party of 20. Subsequent military response to this incident ignited such fury among the Native Americans that key outposts such as Fort Boise and Fort Hall had to be deserted. This also made travel along the Oregon Trail precarious without the protection of the army. A visit to Ward Memorial Park not only provides a unique camping experience but also a sobering insight into the impactful historical events that shaped the region. In the midst of nature, visitors can reflect upon these significant moments, their repercussions, and their lasting legacy.
