Overview

Howers Campground is located on the northeast shore of the scenic Deadwood Reservoir in western Idaho. Boating, fishing and hiking are popular activities in this remote area.

Please click here for further information about the facility and recreation opportunities in the area.

Recreation

Because of its remote location, Deadwood Reservoir is quiet and unpopulated, making for great fishing for Chinook and Kokanee salmon, as well as rainbow and cutthroat trout.

Boating, water skiing, canoeing and kayaking are popular on the lake, and a boat ramp is located about two miles away at Cozy Cove Campground.

Several trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback and off-road vehicle riding wind around the lake shore and surrounding landscape.

Facilities

This primitive campground offers waterfront sites with direct shoreline access. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided, but there is no electricity. Roads and parking spurs within the site are dirt.

Natural Features

The campground is situated in a mixed-growth pine forest, offering plenty of shade. Summer wildflowers are abundant, and the campground affords sweeping views of the reservoir.

Site were well maintained. My hubby and I stayed in site #4 and our kids in #2. Site #4 grill was rusted out on one side, otherwise site was great besides the poo smell coming from the bathroom...when the wind blew towards us. Bathroom was so full kids would not use them due to gagging...lol.

I had a good time. People need to remember this is pack in/pack out. In a nearby camping spot, the people left trash and lots of it everywhere. Please be considerate of the next campers

We LOVED this site and campground. The host was friendly and kept the bathrooms / sites very clean and well-maintained. Our spot had a good mix of sun and shade so it was perfect for our trip.

We had a great trip. The outhouse was clean and smelled nice. The campsites were clean and well maintained. The only negative thing that happened was a group from a neighboring campground decided to take their boat out after dark and were very loud. This group kept going until after 1:30PM. They used foul language and were drinking. We did not get very much sleep that night. Even still, we enjoyed the campout. We swam, hiked, ate great food and fished. It was a very relaxing trip.
