If you ask people what their favorite campground is, it’ll probably differ with each person. There are some great ones to choose from, but the one listed here might just be the most beautiful one!

Blue Lake is located just outside of Cascade, Idaho in the Boise National Forest, only about 2 hours outside of Boise.

The very best part about Blue Lake are the nighttime views! Miles away from light pollution, fall asleep under vibrant stars and wake up to amazing sunrises.
