Name: Little Boulder Creek Campground

Little Boulder Creek Campground is located along the Potlatch River, approximately 40 miles east of Moscow. Paved roads and driveways along with partial grooming make this campground appear quite inviting. This campground is thickly forested and greener than green! Little Boulder is such a nice facility I hope it is well used. We came on a very rainy Father's Day so it is hard to say if it is usually full. I wish Southern Idaho had more campgrounds like this one.

Campsites: 16 RV / tent campsites. Each campsite has a picnic table, fire ring with grill, and most sites offer substantial privacy. There is double parking spaces at most of the sites with an extra parking lot for overflow parking.

Host on Site: Jerry and Earline are the hosts on site. They have been at Little Boulder Creek for 16 years.

Water: Yes, there is water, but it tasted quite metallic. I would bring your own water for drinking.
