As luck would have it Lucky Peak Lake is a hell of a good time in and out of the water for naturalists, adventurers, and those who consider themselves “professional relaxers”. Take to your boat for a day of water skiing or fishing. You’ll be surrounded by lush green foothills, and there’s plenty of trails for hikers, bikers and pony riders to explore these areas. Off-roading is cool too if you want to pick up the pace. Fishing is, well, pretty epic with both the lake and Boise River at your beck and call. Picnic shelters and group camping means you can bring along the whole gang, and with such close proximity to happening Boise, you can spend an evenings out on the town before a sleeping bag adventure under the stars in one of Lucky Peak’s campgrounds. With a space this beautiful and a name this good, you won’t even need to TRY and get lucky, it just comes naturally here.

You could say Boise National Forest is in the tri-forest area. It is surrounded on all sides by Payette, Salmon-Challis, and Sawtooth National Forests, it is situated conveniently close to both urban fun in Boise, and limitless wilderness adventures everywhere else. Alpine tundra is dotted with evergreen forest in the green rolling hills here, topped with snow, and anchored by sparkling valley waterways. The Payette River is great for rafting, while Banks Beach and Beehive Bend are just some of the prime access points on the forest’s 250 lakes and reservoirs (Arrowrock Reservoir has surprisingly primo salmon fishing for central Idaho).
Hikers will find 500 trails, including some that lead to 360-panoramic views at fire lookouts. The ambitious should try 10,000-foot high Trinity Mountain, while more liesurely trekkers will get just as good a view at Silver Creek. As if that’s not all enough to keep you busy, there are also endless mountain biking trails, including a scenic route along Shafer Butte. You’ll have your hands full at this intersection of so many great parks!

Great spot close to Boise but felt like we were in the country. Grandkids loved playing by the pond. We went in October so water was low in the pond and beach was muddy in places but kids had a ball and mud washes off. We liked The Willows campsite by the willow tree. Loved listening to the little creek that runs behind that site. Driveway to campground has quite a slope but we had no trouble driving our 27’ rv back up. Woke up to see cows in the pasture behind the campground. Also saw two cranes.

My son and I spent two days at Cagle Cove, The Aspens site and had a great time. We are definitely going back. It feels very secluded. You hear some birds, occasional cow and some roosters in the morning. The sites are spacious and very clean. The ground is flat with no rocks or roots to worry about, so tent placement is quick and easy. We were in a 3-person tent with a 10x10 canopy and even had room for our Yukon XL. The owners kept a fresh stockpile of firewood they sell for $5 a bundle, and these logs are big, they’re dry and burn quite a long time. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway to recharge, get a good nights rest, cook over a campfire, and see a sky full of stars, this is the place. You can splurge and bring the good steak, because this place is a deal.

Camping near Meridian guide
Where to go
Meridian and Boise
Around Meridian and Boise, and along the I-84 corridor, several RV parks offer hookups, amenities, and space for large rigs. They also offer an ideal base camp for exploring the myriad outdoor attractions in the area, such as the Boise River Greenbelt, Ridge to River Network, Kuna Caves, and wildlife at Lake Lowell and the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge. Nearby Bogus Basin offer year-round trails for hiking, biking, and skiing.
Idaho State Parks
Several state parks can be found within a two hour drive of Meridian. Head to Three Island Crossing State Park for Oregon Trail History and riverside campsites and camping cabins. Go sandboarding at Bruneau Dunes State Park, then stay overnight in a comfortable cabin. Enjoy boating, fishing, and windsurfing at Lake Cascade State Park, and camp in a tent, RV, or yurt. For secluded camping around a desert canyon lake, head to Lake Owyhee State Park.
Boise National Forest
For year-round outdoor recreation, head northwest to the Boise National Forest, where hundreds of trails, lakes and reservoirs, plus hot springs and millions of acres of forest and grassland beckon to be explored. Camping options are plentiful and diverse, with your choice of developed, dispersed, and backcountry campsites, along with cabins, guard stations, and a network of year-round backcountry yurts.
When to go
With generally temperate weather, Meridian can be visited year-round. Spring, summer, and fall are the best times for outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, boating, paddling, and fishing. In the winter, head to Bogus Basin for a downhill ski resort, or area state parks and the Boise National Forest for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Many campgrounds are seasonal, though winter camping options are available, though services will be limited.
