We prefer state/federal campgrounds, but they may not be located near these sites.
There are three state parks along I84 east of Boise that could work unless you want to actually stay in Boise. Massacre Rocks, Three Island Crossing and Bruneau Dunes. There's also an Oregon state park off the freeway near Huntington about an hour northwest. I'm not sure about places in Boise itself since that's home for us.
