About This Location

Experience the quiet beauty of Paris Springs Campground in Idaho. Enjoy fishing, hiking, and lush scenery near Bear Lake at this scenic, year-round USFS site.

Nestled deep within the scenic Paris Canyon, Paris Springs Campground offers a peaceful retreat for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a quiet connection with nature. Situated at an elevation of 6,527 feet, the campground is surrounded by lush, verdant vegetation that provides a cool and refreshing atmosphere. The site is uniquely defined by the presence of Paris Creek, which flows directly alongside the camping area, offering a soothing soundtrack and easy access to the water for those looking to enjoy the mountain environment.

The campground is a perfect base for those who love active recreation. A short 300-yard trail leads directly to the bubbling Paris Spring, while the surrounding landscape provides ample opportunities for hiking and biking. Anglers will appreciate the direct fishing access along the creek, making it a great spot to spend a relaxing afternoon. While the site is managed by the USFS and remains open year-round, it offers a primitive experience with vault toilets provided for convenience.

This location is best suited for tent campers and those seeking a rustic, off-the-grid experience. Because the campground offers no hookups, it is ideal for self-sufficient campers who value natural beauty and tranquility over modern amenities. Whether you are looking for a basecamp to explore the wider Rocky Mountain region or a quiet escape near Bear Lake, Paris Springs provides a beautiful, modest setting for your next adventure.
