BIG SPRINGS – CARIBOU, Idaho Campground Images, Info & Reservations

Directions

Just east of Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, look for "Pebble Area" sign and turn left onto Blaser Highway/Old Highway 30. Go north on the paved highway 9 miles to Pebble Creek Road, known locally as Mike’s Place or Whiskey Mike’s. Turn left across railroad tracks on gravel Forest Road 036. Travel about 7 miles to the campground.

Pebble Creek Road is a narrow single-lane dirt road with limited sight distance and not suitable for the very large RVs (the tour bus size RVs that require overhead clearance due to their height and have limited turning capacity due to length, as opposed to a truck with trailer of the same length which has a tighter turning radius due to the hitch).
