From The Campground
Helende Campground is a fee campground located in Boise National Forest, Idaho. It offers 15 accessible single-family sites with picnic tables and campfire rings with grills. Vault toilets, drinking water, and trash collection are provided. The campground is situated in a dense forest of lodgepole and Ponderosa pine, which offers plentiful shade in most sites. Visitors enjoy fishing and rafting on the South Fork Payette River, soaking at nearby Kirkham Hot Springs, and exploring the extensive Kirkham Ridge Trail. Deer and elk may be seen wandering through the area on occasion. Numerous natural hot springs pools can be found along the Banks-Lowman Highway, also known as the Wildlife Canyon Scenic Byway and Highway 21, the Ponderosa Pine Scenic Byway. Both byways offer scenic views, wildlife watching, historical information kiosks, and several trail opportunities. Whitewater rafting and kayaking are popular activities on the South Fork and Main Payette Rivers. Several companies in the area offer guided half and full-day trips.
