We Arrived On September 17, 2023. We Are The Only Ones In The Site, All The Sites Are Dry There Is No Electrical Or Water. The Washrooms Are Locked Up But The Setting Is Really Nice. Each Side Has A Picnic Table And fire ring and lots of green. Some Of The Sites Are Treed. All In All A Great Place For The Money, by donation.

We didn't stay here, as we were already set up at Lower Big Lost River. However, we checked it out and spoke with the camp host. It's clean and convenient, and the east part of the park is treed.

A cute little park in the very RV friendly town of Mckay, Idaho.
No hook-ups at all, nor is fresh water available. The Mckay Rest Area on the other side of the city (about 1/2 mile away) offers both a dump and fresh water fill - free of charge. No trash receptacles at either this park, or the rest area though.
This park is easily accessible for even the largest rigs. We rolled in at around 8:30pm on a Tuesday night and snagged a spot without issue. Two camping areas exist - a wooded area with older sites, and a newer pull-through big rig area without any tree cover. We chose a spot in the wooded area, and parallel parked the rig in it for a great fit (we're 40'). Most sites have a grill, fire pit, and table or two. There are grass sites or gravel sites - back in, pull through, and parallel sites too.
Flush toilets are ok - nothing special. The park is quiet at night.
This park does take reservations via a phone call to the town. 2 nights free, or you can pay $30 for 10 days (you'll need to speak with the town to do this). The reservation system doesn't appear to be overly well run; we observed some neighbors being moved due to the systems lack of accuracy and/or communication.
There is a laundromat on the corner of Pine and Capital that also offer pay showers ($1.50 for 5 minutes) just down the street.
This is an ATV town, so expect to see off road vehicles roll through the campground and town. There is a really neat old mining exhibit up the hill - and a Mine Hill tour loop which was way cool. Completely recommend the mining museum/exhibit - and the Mine Hill Loop drive if you've got a 4x4 vehicle. Really neat place.
Both Verizon and AT&T worked well here.

Stayed at the Mackay Tourist Park during the Mackay Rodeo. Located on the outskirts of town, but walkable to Main Street, Mackay Tourist Park provides free camping with 20+ sites. I can't imagine it's ever full, as it wasn't during the rodeo (one of the town's biggest events).
A handful of sites allow for large RV's, the rest are sized for mid-size RV's, truck campers, etc. There is a grassy field for tents.
Clean bathrooms and potable water. No sewer or electric.
Stays over three days require reservations, made by calling the Mackay City Hall.
