Name: Sage Bluff Campground

Sage Bluff Campground is part of Lake Cascade State Park. It is a brand new loop on the lake south of Cascade, Idaho. Sage Bluff is stretched along the shoreline with a good beach depending on the water level. The campground is new and has newly planted trees and wildflowers which will one day make this a beautiful spot. The view of the lake and mountains is already fantastic. The pictures here where taken early in a very wet year. It won't be this wet when you visit.

Campsites: Sage Bluff has 11 campsites. Each has a picnic table, and fire pit with grill. The road and driveways are paved while the camping area is graveled. Two sites are double sites and two are pull-through.

Host on Site: When I visited this campground there was a camper marked as the host, but reserveamerica.com says there is no host.
