About This Location

Spillway Campground offers primitive, year-round camping right along Idaho's scenic Anderson Ranch Reservoir, a premier spot for fishing and water sports.

Spillway Campground is a quiet, intimate destination featuring just three campsites situated directly along the shores of the beautiful Anderson Ranch Reservoir. This federal campground, managed by the USFS, is an ideal escape for those looking to enjoy the rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains. The area is particularly renowned for its exceptional water recreation, offering easy access to boating, waterskiing, and personal watercraft use on the reservoir.

Anglers will find this location especially appealing, as the reservoir is a hotspot for smallmouth bass and kokanee. For those who prefer stream fishing, you can try your luck at fly fishing for trout just below the nearby dam, or head to Reclamation Village to access rafting opportunities. The surrounding terrain provides a serene backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in Idaho's natural landscape.

As a primitive site with no hookups available, this campground is best suited for tent campers or self-contained RV travelers who enjoy a rustic, off-the-grid experience. Because it is open year-round, it offers a peaceful retreat for visitors seeking a low-key base camp near the water's edge. Whether you are looking to spend your days on the boat or casting a line from the shore, Spillway provides a simple, direct connection to the outdoors.
