Horsethief Reservoir, Valley County, Idaho Cascade, ID 83611

"Camp grounds were closed for the season but still had plenty of places to fish. We did pretty good, caught our limit. Kind of sad to see all the private property signs going up, I guess thats progress."

"There are plenty of spots to choose from here. When you turn off of Warm Lake Road, wide dirt road for about a mile or two to the entrance. Road is a pretty smooth and comes to a spot, with signage, to either turn left or go straight. Either way has 2-3 campgrounds. We went straight and turned at first, I think called Osprey. $20/night, has nice coated metal tables, all paved inside campground, fire ring and a pit toilet, which is well maintained. The host mentioned it had all been done within last year or 2. Where we were has about 20 sites, all pretty spaced apart. Some more secluded with privacy than others but all were decent. Nice trail from ours, #39, to a clearing where you can enter for swimming or floaters. Stayed here in June for 2 weeks and it gets busier on weekends but we outlasted them and had it to ourselves for most of the early week. No water in camp but there is a natural spring with a pipe just past the gun range on right side of road if you head to town. Runs slow but is freezing and delicious! It's between mile markers 74 & 75. We don't do campfires but there was plenty of dead wood past #39 & 40, if you walked about 50 ft out. No cell service and we have both Verizon and AT&T but there is once you get to main road. About 10 minutes from Cascade where you can get groceries, gas and fishing supplies."

"We had the whole campground to ourselves! Fishing was fun, bathrooms were impeccable, so many interesting birds and tons of different squirrels. The camping spots are really nice, clean, nice. Can't wait to go back in a few weeks."

"Wonderful campground. The camp host Doug, was very helpful and pleasant to work with. Close to the water. Fishing was good as well. Facilities were clean. There was construction underway in another camp area near by which was a bit of a bummer. We where there during the week and had to deal with the trucks driving around kicking up dirt and the sounds of road work. Once it was the weekend, it was nice a quite though. We will be back!!"

"Stunning! Love the camp grounds. Lots of tall trees. Water is a little mucky but is a nice calming place to go and fish."
