Portneuf River Lower Sportsman Access
About this site
Free camping in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho? Portneuf Lower is a free campground located only two miles north of town. It’s run by the Idaho Department of Fish & Game as a “sportsmen’s access”, intended for hunters and fishermen. While many fishermen do come here to try their luck at hooking a trout, it’s more popular with campers. The campground rests right on the banks of Portneuf River. Because it’s only two miles from Lava Hot Springs, it’s very popular with campers looking to grab a free campsite instead of paying upwards of $100.00 a night at one of the KOA’s in town. Additional Info: IDFG has developed 8 designated campsites with road and site surfacing, fenced boundary, replacing previous dispersed camping. Provides access to 1 mile of Portneuf River for fishing. Basic facilities include pit toilets; no drinking water or hookups.
