Definitely one of the most beautiful and professional camp grounds I have been to. The park rangers and camp hosts were really nice. The views were beautiful and breath taking. There were so many trails, and in the 3 days I've been here, I wasn't able to go on all of them. There is still so much for me to see and do here. I highly recommend going here!

My wife and I love this place. It is become our regular go to place for outdoor activities camping bike riding and hiking. There’s miles and miles and miles of trails and let’s not forget frisbee golf. Campsites are nice and spread apart people are friendly. Great RC flying field. Unfortunately Idaho state parks doubled their costs for out of state residence which makes a Farragut State Park and all other Idaho parks unaffordable. Yearly vehicle pass is now $80 and a one night stay is $74. We will continue to go on daily basis but probably not to camp anymore. If you’re an Idaho resident I highly recommend this place. And if you want to get out for a day of hiking and biking there isn’t a better place around.

Clean and organized. Lots to do both on and off the water. I loved that RV parking options were better than many camping areas with extra room to breathe and have a little privacy. Trails were fun. Bayview was also fun and full of history.

We camped here a few nights. Electric, no water or sewer. We have a pull through site on a round lot. The gravel for the table was nice and raked between ever guest. It is a beautiful park. We went running along the road, we played at the playground and went out on a boat on the docks. They even have life jackets you can borrow.

What is the average attendance for your state park?

Lisa Bohling | Oct 13, 2021

They turn off the water Oct 1. Camping is still lots of fun there. It’s much quieter and there is just something about sitting by the fire even if it’s frosty!

Is there any camp sites that are first come first serve?

Angel Davidson | Jun 8, 2022
Randy Moss | Jun 9, 2022

We stayed in Gilmore, LOVED it! They post the sites that are available for 1 night but best to check things out at the registration office. Also you can reserve sites from 9 months out but be quick they fill up fast!

Is their full hook ups now and if so what does it cost for a weekend for the end of September

Donna Harris | Jun 11, 2019
Marsha Porter | Jun 12, 2019

There are only a few campgrounds still open. All spaces are walk-up, no reservations. Most, if not all, have water and electricity. Don't know if any have sewer. But there is a sump station right nearby.

I am told that there is a shooting range on the park property. Does anyone know- is it supervised, what caleber guns are allowed, what about targets ie. Empty plastic bottles as long as they are picked up.

Nicholas Lown | Jun 11, 2019
Edwin Ronningen | Jun 12, 2019

The range is managed by the IDFG. Paper targets only. Up to .50 cql. The cost is $10 for a daily use fee. There are 3 lengths of shooting ranges, plus a shotgun/ clay pigeon range.

Ethan Bailey | Jun 11, 2019
Chris Savage | Jun 12, 2019

Motorhomes are allowed. Pricing varies depending on discounts. For example if you have the passport you get a discount. I believe there's also a senior discount. For motorhomes they have Water and Electric but no sewer. You have to use the dumping station.

Tent camping fees, is it somewhat "private"? And are there different hiking trails for different skill levels? Thank you!

chance ogden | Jun 11, 2018
Colby B. | Jun 12, 2018

Check their website for current tent fees, some camps are more private than others but they're all fantastic. Trails range from a simple 5 minute walk to hiking a mountain. The visitor center has a 3 dimensional light up map with most of the trails and campgrounds along with free site maps which you can take when you're hiking.

We own property in Idaho and property taxes for it, however, as non-residents, we also are required pay double fees to camp in Idaho campgrounds. Is there anyway my land taxes can let me be considered a resident so I can camp in Idaho?

Ritajane Boyce | Feb 10, 2022
Farragut State Park (Owner) | Feb 11, 2022

There are only 5 parks that charge double for camping. Most Idaho State Parks camping fees have not changed. The 5 most crowded parks were chosen on purpose to free up space for Idaho residents to enjoy those parks. You can camp in Idaho for lower rates just not at Farragut. You must be a voting resident to claim residency.

We have reserved Sunrise Picnic shelter and am interested to know of you rent horseshoes so we can use the horseshoe pit?

Sharon Meyer | Aug 14, 2021
Farragut State Park (Owner) | Aug 15, 2021

You can rent them at the Visitor Center.

joes w | Jun 10, 2021
ric bryant | Jun 11, 2021

Are dogs allowed at any swimming areas?

justin henkins | Jun 10, 2021
ric bryant | Jun 11, 2021

Your dog isn’t allowed at beaver bay beach. That said, there are miles of trails that are right on the edge of the lake and you can take Fido for a walk and he can get wet. At sunrise day use area there is a gravelly beach area where you can take him swimming and you can jump in with him. That beach does attract a crowd. I walked my dogs from Gilmore campgrounds to buttonhook bay and there were lots of places for dogs to get wet. You can access the lake side trails from sunrise day use, beaver bay beach parking lot, and the boat launch parking.
