Clear Creek Station RV Park
42 RV Sites, 16 Tent Sites
In Valley County, Idaho, 8 miles south of Cascade on US-55—in the Payette River corridor where the Long Valley's meadow and ponderosa pine landscape, the Payette River's whitewater kayaking reputation, and the Cascade Lake and Tamarack Resort's ski and recreation infrastructure create the outdoor adventure landscape that the Boise-area weekend and summer recreation community accesses from the mountain corridor north of the capital—Clear Creek Station RV Park provides 32 full hookup sites, 9 partial hookup sites, 8 family tent sites, and 7 tent sites alongside restrooms with showers, a dump station, a general store, and the on-site restaurant at Clear Creek Station, with military, first responder, and Good Sam discounts available, all 1.9 miles east of the Payette River and positioned between the kayaking, rafting, and fishing of the canyon below and the lake recreation, mountain biking, and four-season Tamarack Resort access above Cascade. The Payette River is 1.9 miles west. Tamarack is up the road.
The 32 full hookup sites with 50 and 30-amp electric, water, and sewer alongside the 9 partial hookup and tent positions serve the spectrum of guests arriving on the US-55 corridor between Boise and McCall. The full and partial hookup standard serves the RV traveler whose Long Valley stay requires overnight infrastructure that the National Forest campgrounds above Cascade cannot provide. Restrooms with showers, a dump station, and the general store handle the daily practical needs, and the on-site restaurant at Clear Creek Station serves the meals that the self-contained RV traveler occasionally wants someone else to cook. The park's standing military, first responder, and Good Sam discount policy serves the communities of veterans, service personnel, and organized RV travelers that the US-55 mountain corridor regularly carries between Boise and the McCall recreation area.
Cascade sits in Valley County's Long Valley at 4,780 feet on the North Fork of the Payette River above the Lake Cascade reservoir—the 28,000-acre irrigation and flood control reservoir whose motorboat, sailing, and fishing recreation serves as Valley County's primary summer recreational draw alongside the Payette River's whitewater reputation. The Payette River's multiple sections—from the North Fork's calmer floats above Cascade to the Main Payette's Class III-IV whitewater in the canyon between Horseshoe Bend and Banks—create the graduated paddling and rafting spectrum that the commercial rafting outfitters below Cascade run through the summer.
Kelly's Whitewater Park, 30 miles south on the Payette River near Cascade, provides the internationally recognized freestyle kayaking hole and the beginner-to-advanced training facility whose standing wave creates the competition venue that the American whitewater kayaking community uses for training and events. Tamarack Resort, 5 miles north of Cascade on US-55, operates the four-season mountain resort with skiing and snowboarding from December through March and mountain biking, golf, zip-lining, and hiking from June through October on the resort's 2,800 feet of vertical above the Long Valley. McCall, 25 miles north, provides the resort town's winter carnival, the Payette Lake recreation, and the Ponderosa State Park's McCall winter activities.
Clear Creek Station RV Park operates year-round in Valley County's mountain climate, with the summer season from May through September the peak visitor period and the winter snowmobile and Tamarack ski season from December through March the secondary demand window that the US-55 corridor's year-round appeal creates. The spring runoff season in April and May produces the Payette River's highest flows and most dramatic whitewater before the summer float season's lower water creates the recreational variety downstream. Reserve your hookup site at Clear Creek Station and let the Payette River's proximity, the Cascade Lake access, and the Tamarack Resort's four-season mountain character make Valley County's US-55 corridor the Idaho mountain stop your road trip deserves.
