Idaho is a state of unparalleled beauty, with steep forested peaks in its northern panhandle, Sun Valley (one of America’s first ski resorts) in the central region, and the impressive Snake River Canyon in the south. Each region has a unique splendor, and that’s definitely true of the north-central portion of the state where Payette Lake and the resort town of McCall are located. Not as crowded as the resort hubs of Sun Valley or Coeur d’Alene, but with many of the same great amenities, it’s the perfect place to take a motorhome camping vacation.Ponderosa State Park and Ponderosa Campground are just outside McCall, making it the ideal place to base yourself for an RV camping adventure. Positioned on a narrow peninsula jutting out into Payette Lake, you’ll have close to a 360-degree view of the glistening blue lake. The RV campground also offers full hookups (30/50 amp), picnic tables, fire rings, a dump station, and bathrooms.As would be expected from a resort town like McCall, recreational opportunities are numerous at Ponderosa Campground, including a volleyball court, horseshoe pit, and boat launch for getting your canoe or kayak. Ponderosa Campground is also well positioned for exploring some of the other small towns in the north-central region with Highway 55 heading south towards Cascade Lake, Highway 95 going southwest to the Snake River and north through the mountains.
