Moose Crossing RV Park

Mackay, Idaho


30 RV Sites, 2 Cabins

Mackay, Idaho, sits in the Lost River Valley beneath the most dramatic mountain terrain in the state — the Lost River Range, home to Borah Peak at 12,662 feet, Idaho's highest summit, and a string of additional peaks over 12,000 feet that form a skyline unlike anything else in the northern Rocky Mountains. Moose Crossing RV Park brings full-hookup RV sites and cabin accommodations to this remote but rewarding corner of Custer County, positioning guests for the kind of backcountry access and mountain scale that the Lost River Valley uniquely delivers while maintaining the practical amenities that make extended mountain stays comfortable. Full-hookup RV sites accommodate big rigs across the park's level grounds, and cabin rentals provide solid-wall accommodations for guests arriving without their own RV or seeking additional group capacity. Clean bathrooms, showers, a laundry facility, a dog park, and a dump station handle the practical needs of both short-term and extended-stay campers, and the big-rig-friendly site design with appropriate clearances reflects a park built for the actual vehicles guests bring to Idaho's mountain corridors. The overall operation is no-frills in the best sense — focused on the things that genuinely matter to guests camping in a remote mountain valley where the landscape does the heavy lifting. Pets are welcome throughout. Mackay Reservoir, just north of town, is a reliable productive fishery for rainbow and brown trout that draws anglers from across central Idaho for shoreline and boat fishing in a reservoir set against the Lost River Range's imposing backdrop. The reservoir's size and accessibility make it one of the more practical fishing destinations in this remote stretch of the valley, and the calm morning conditions that develop before afternoon wind picks up create a fishing window that rewards early risers who are already set up by first light. Borah Peak, visible as the dominant summit above the Lost River Valley, is accessible via a strenuous but non-technical day hike that leads over the "Chicken-Out Ridge" section — the peak's notoriety is partly built on this one exposed stretch that separates those who summit from those who turn back. The Challis National Forest surrounds the valley with hundreds of miles of trail access, and the upper Salmon River drainage provides blue-ribbon fishing and float opportunities within a day's drive. For an entirely different kind of remarkable Idaho destination, the EBR-1 Atomic Museum in Arco — just west on Highway 93 — marks the site where nuclear energy first lit a string of lightbulbs in 1951. Moose Crossing RV Park serves guests through the Lost River Valley's outdoor season, with summer and early fall delivering the best combination of mountain weather and full activity access. Borah Peak hikes are most safely attempted from late June through September when the route is snow-free. Reserve ahead for any summer stay — Mackay's limited accommodation supply and the valley's growing reputation among Idaho backcountry enthusiasts means availability moves faster than the area's remote location might suggest.
