Big Sage Campground

We stayed at this beautiful Idaho State campground right on the banks of Lake Cascade. The park is well maintained, clean with several RV campsites either pull-thru or back-in, all have water and some have electricity. Our pull-thru site was almost perfectly level, water only and located near the shoreline, there is a pathway and landscaping between our site 212 and the water. The views are simply beautiful everywhere you look and we saw a pair of Bald Eagles flying around over the lake. Cell service was great with full bars on Verizon and 3 with AT&T. We had other arrangements at a National Forest campground across the lake but upon arriving there we quickly realized our rig wouldn't make it up the slope at the site with a hump at the top, we would certainly bottom out! We had to find other accommodations for the night, frustrating. Luckily for us we called the number on the website for Big Sage campground and found this beautiful site at Big Sage campground. We made it to our site and filled out the registration envelope but made a mistake on our registration not realizing that we should have received a 50% discount because we're over 62, After placing the envelope in the collection tube. In the morning I found Donna the camp host out and about, and told her I had made the mistake of paying full price, she quickly came up with a solution and contacted the rangers station. I received a call from Jenny at the Lake Cascade office who helped me with a great plan, all said and done we were able to make a new registration with the discount! Kudos to both Donna and Jenny for going above and beyond to help us out, Donna made sure everything worked out. There are several RV campgrounds and parks along Lake Cascade that are run by State parks and recreation, all beautiful with breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding mountains, we will be back and stay longer. We recommend these amazing state parks to all looking for a beautiful place to camp and enjoy all that Lake Cascade has to offer. Thank you again Donna and Jenny for making our stay a wonderful experience.

Lake Cascade State Park is a great place to visit. Mid week is relatively quiet and not a lot of people on the beaches. Regular campsites are very good size...companion campsites are huge. Under an hour and a half drive from the Boise area. Good supplies in town nearby

Great beach, sites are spaced nicely apart. Swimming good and cold. Host Fred works morning to night maintaining the place. Sunset views are awesome

Be mindful of "quiet hours" which are from 10p-7a. If your dog so much as barks at 9p, you're going to have a complaint and visit from camp host. Yet they allow the large area to be booked out for large gatherings and parties that will be very loud and disruptful all day long. Camp host was also a bit combative when confirming the quiet hours as well. Other campers were understanding and also saw us quieting/correcting the dog each time. They had also stated "its all good" when we were apologizing. Dogs take time to learn, but apparently thats not good enough. By no means was it an all day thing, but did alert whenever someone new was around the camp, which is what a dog should do. Sorry, not sorry. Horrible experience this time around. Will look at other areas around the lake next time.

We visited here for the first time today and its gorgeous. If we didn't have a cabin nearby we would camp here for sure. Its clean and has wheelchair accessible restrooms located throughout the campground. Accessible to beautiful beach areas and it looks like a safe place for kids to ride bikes and play.. and the sunsets are captivating. 💖🧡💛💙
