Reviews of Camel's Back Park

Samuel Osterhout

Looking for a good hike? Want the ability to bail at a moment’s notice if weather goes bad? What about sunbathing and a general sunny park vibe where you just want a spot of grass to call your own and relax? It’s family friendly too. Camel’s back has it all and right near downtown!

Rhonda Donat

Nice little climb. Wonderful park and great view. We did not use the restrooms. Picnic area seems real nice, too cold and icy to know for sure. Great park for exercise.

Luis Avila

Moderate hike with awesome views of downtown Boise. Take your time on the way up and it's not bad at all. I would totally do this hike again and recommend it to anyone looking for a nice workout with amazing views. On a side note, the park that's next to the start of the trailhead has restrooms and a water faucet which is nice to have access to.

Ben Pasquarosa

Nice little park with lots of walking and biking trails. A good bit of elevation gain right at the beginning. You can attack it directly via the stairs or you can take an easier path up the side. Provides an excellent view of the city

Nestor Gerales

Great park. And the incline is not too challenging. Great colors during the Fall season. Small playground for the kiddies and a tennis court also.

Luis M.

If you’re looking for a nice walk or a great hike to get the blood pumping- this is it! Walking up the main stairs you’re able to get a beautiful view of the city as well of the mountains.

Abel Santana

Great trails, very relaxed atmosphere. Do yourself a favor, hike up to the top and enjoy the gorgeous view. You will see downtown area, more trails and the Capitol building. The playground is usually pretty full, but very friendly environment.

Aaron Edwards

Always a great time at Camel's Back Park! Play sets for the kids, hiking, views, soccer, volleyball, frisbee, fetch, hacky, events and just a whole lot of relaxing fun! (It would be nice if Boise City would actually update the bathrooms. 🤢) …

M Campbell

Great park with stuff for everyone. Nice hiking trails. The playground gets crowded but is nice and big.

Brit T

Great area and vibe! Dog friendly! Park has great options for children all ages. Workout equipment available.

Robert MacNevin

Wonderful place located just to the north part of the city. Dont fear the super steep stairs...slow and steady you'll get up there and see the incredible panoramic views.Then you can take one of the many easy walking path back down. Could easily add this to a daily or weekly exercise routine!

Rick Bame

Nice views and a descent workout. Prepare yourself for sand/gravel combo for slipping before you get to the stairs.

Shannon Holt

I loved coming here as a little kid with my mom and siblings. We used to ride toboggans down the giant hill right up until they put those stairs in. It was unsafe but super fun, and that was all that mattered at the time. There’s also great hiking trails, amazing views, and lots of friendly people. Everyone picks up their dog’s poop which is also very nice. If you’re ever bored on the weekend with nothing to do, come here for some peace and fresh air.

Sara Gomez

A green space park right against a hill you can hike up and over with fantastic views of downtown Boise and north end.

Collin Quinton

Best Park in Boise. Bring your pets, kids, family, even your ex!! It's a beautiful place to share with people you really care about, or people you don't! 🤷‍♂️ Trails are perfect for running or biking. Some trails are exclusive to foot traffic but most are pet and bike friendly. Make it to the top to get one of the greatest views in Boise. You can see the capitol and surrounding towns. Or stay at the bottom and enjoy the large array playground and workout equipment or make friends with one of the family's that always bring a volleyball set to really get the most out of the place!

Rajesh Kariya

Went there on a snowclad day with plans to sled down the hills. The hill didn't have any snow, so improvised and hike up. Breathtaking views from the top of the hill and it was dry and no slick spots up the stairs. Dose trails were snowy/icy and I am surprised people were using it. Did find some small areas close to the play area to use our sled.

Collin Bowser

Camel's Back is an awesome place not far from downtown Boise to get in a good walk/hike/run/bike ride! The trails are in good shape and everyone is respectful. There are also some very good views of the city and surrounding areas which adds a nice touch.

William Fremgen

Great destination to go on a hike, mountain bike, or take the kids to the park. Be sure to keep control of your dogs as a lot of people are mountain biking, and you don't want to get your dog tangled up with a bike. Very little shade, so bring plenty of water in the summer as it gets very hot.

Brian Stickler

Family friendly. Dog friendly. Great meetup place for impromptu volleyball, tennis, playing catch, or frisbee. The views of the valley are stunning. Leisure hiking and plenty of trail running or mountain biking available. Good all around park.

grossem2 Gr

Perfect Boise summer weather makes for a perfect locals park experience. Hard to beat for a neighborhood sized park and what all activities can be done here by all age groups

Linda Hall (Fairywild)

Went for the Hyde Park Street Fair which is always amazing! Noticed that they added stairs to the hill (that's cheating), and a couple really nice play areas for kids. The park is large and a nice place to go even when the fair isn't there.

Andrew Handzel

Always a fun place to unwind with full tennis courts and play ground. Trails are easy if you're in good shape but could be a little challenging if you're legs are in less than good shape.

Ingrid Vandenboorn

Absolute fabulous park to hangout and/or go hiking. Great way to relax

Jason Archer

Tucked in Boise's North End near the foothills, this park is a fun, clean, and very open area with lots of options for play, fitness, or just being outdoors and is walking distance to food in Boise's Hyde Park. A personal and family favorite for sure!

Damian Tanner

Favorite park in town. Nice playground for the kids and really nice nature trails to hike. View from top of the hill is amazing.

Adam Decker

Great trails for all levels. The views are pretty amazing too.

Hannah La Jeunesse

The hike was worth it to the top of Camel's Back. You can enjoy a breathtaking view sitting on these cut stone stairs in the sky, overlooking Boise. My toddlers could enjoy this, due to the staircase access to the top. Not easy if you run up them, so you can make it as challenging as you want it to be.

Joan McBride

There has been so many great changes. I played here with my siblings when I was 8 thru 12...( 11 children in all) We used to slide down Devil's run on cardboard box pieces....especially in the snow.

Lisa Nestler

Great park, love the hiking area.

Maria K

Great place for a short hike.

Domanic Jordan

Stunning views and wide range of trails going for miles! Photographers: this is one of the best spots in town for the desert/mountain look 🔥 …

Cleo Patraa

I love this park! They have excellent trails that are easy to get to from downtown. They have trash cans along the trails which is very helpful and they have done a great job of creating different trails for hikers and bikers.

Jacque

I love walking all the trails here. There are a lot of mountain biking trails so there are bikes. There is also a park for kids to play on as well. The walk to the top is pretty steep but it is well worth the walk. You could take the scenic way that isn't straight up the hill.

H. Joseph Ehrmann

I love having this as my local park. Very well maintained, always something going on, and access to great trails.

Bonnie Bair

Lots of great green space and shade to meet friends, the great views at the top of the hill, tennis courts, a sand volleyball court, and trails for hiking and mtn biking! What more do you need?

Arica Hines

This is my favorite park. So sad how they tore the old equipment down although these days I'm sure it would be considered dangerous. But that's why it was my favorite! But it still is. It's just got a happy feel and the people that gather there are super friendly. Most importantly my kids have fun there lol! It also has a wonderful spot for adults!

Kelley Morton

A nice destination in a fun part of Boise. We went up the steep side of the hill first and then along the ridge, finally finding our way back to the main part of the park along a less steep route. After exploring the park itself, we went around the base of the hill to the other side to walk into Hull's Gulch. A short walk that day, but we'll be back!

Renee Kline

Wonderful neighborhood park with state of the art playground and weight lifting areas. Beautiful trees for relaxing, hanging hammocks or slack lining. From park, you have access to many trails for hiking, horseback, biking and running. The access to the park is presently under construction. It will be better then ever by next spring!

Sheila Myers Gropp

Great views and nice walks

Issa Maalouf

A very beautiful and peaceful green areas suitable for all ages! A playground for kids. It is close to the camel's back reserve ! It is highly recommended!

Matthew Edwards

Parking can be awful and the park can be jam-packed when there are jammin' events taking place, but the park itself is nice. The contrast of the large yellow hill against the rolling green grass is visually pleasing. The park is clean, and I enjoy coming to events here (apart from the parking part). Being able to scale the hill the "camel," I presume is a good way to get away from the hustle bustle of the Hyde Park Fair and treat yourself to a view of all the interesting people below.

nick hiler

Eagle wrestling, 8 laps under 45 minutes on the big loop. All of them made it. They were definitely tired.

H&S

Beautiful views. Worth the short hike up to the top. You can see all of downtown, southeast and the west side of the city. The hike can be a little challenging for someone who is older, it's very steep.

Hanna Nuss

Amazing park with so many trails and so much to do. Beautiful views and experience.

sasha skirde

Very cute neighborhood park that attracts people all over the valley to hike the Camel’s Back!! It’s a very safe and clean park with plenty of space. There’s bathrooms, a playground, tennis courts, a huge open field but also with plenty of trees to take shade under! Plenty of cute dogs that are always around too!! One of the best parks in Boise!

B Travel mom

It sure has changed over the years. the trail used to be a lot more rugged We have so much fun climbing the mountain and hiking behind the hill on 13th.

Teresa Krueger

Had a BBQ with a group of people - this was such a perfect place for everyone. Shade or sun; be active or sit and watch; activities for little ones, room to bring big people games, the hill to climb. It was a beautiful afternoon.

Garrett Steele

Great Park, easy hike, easy to get to, and what's not to like

Ashlie Nelson

Clean and beautiful park. the stairs are a good hard workout. From the parking lot it looks easy- it is not! Lots of trails to spend the day hiking.

Michelle Nitardy

There are so many trails here! Beautiful park to mountain bike at. Would highly recommend.

太郎 - Taro

You can definitely get the amazing view of Boise from the top of the hill and it was so beautiful that I was intrigued by it, and I really wish I had this kind of hill and park in my hometown. I love this place so so much.

Alex Simmonds

A nice little playground lots of open space to let the kids run. Swings, slides, jungle gym, and large fields. Plenty of things to keep the kids busy as well as seating for the parents while they watch. Tennis courts and a sand volleyball pit. Lots of shade around the park as well. Large trail network up the hill behind the park. Bathrooms are open for most of the playable season. Great park all in all.

Cholena Steele

There's absolutely nothing about this park that is negative.. I spent my first 4th of July up there... in 1997.... there's everything you can do here.. my kids love it too

Rick Epperley

Trailheads, tennis courts, playground and cool exercise equipment.

Hari Rajthala

Want the ability to bail at a moment’s notice if weather goes bad? What about sunbathing and a general sunny park vibe where you just want a spot of grass to call your own and relax?

steve gorr

Close to my apartment within walking distance. Kid friendly play ground, typical city clean restrooms, trails, trees, open space, lots of parking. I noticed they have a bike rig for diy repairs with an air pump I think is manual. They are currently ripping up sewage so access as of yesterday 1/31/2022 is limited during work hours. Don't know how long before work is complete. "UPDATE" ** 9/18/22 VAST IMPROVEMENT. The street changes are more useful for all around access. The bike tools and pump have been replenished. They did a great job.

Rosy Broncheau

This park sits at the base of the foothills. My daughter and I went hiking here. There are many trails to take and the view of Boise is beautiful. The city of trees lives up to its name!

Leon Walsh

I've always loved this park. Jungle gym, exercise stations, trees to climb, and of course the hill. It has stairs now!

Bryan Shaw

Short hike, even though it's fairly steep most of the way, but you are rewarded with a spectacular 360° view of Boise, Idaho. You can see the entire city from the top of the park!

amber schafer

Beautiful park and that hill is definitely a challenge to climb but the view is breathtaking

Shaun Coe (Woozylion)

I wanted to post that this place is terrible so no one else does there but this is such an awesome trail system. From camelsback you can run and do a over 15 miles in a loop and if you go high enough can link into the other systems like military reserve. Great for running, biking, and hiking. Be as nice as everyone you pass on the trails and you will fit right in :)

Eric Merritt

Not much parking but our daughter loves the playground here. Lots of grass for sports and activities.

Bryan Hood

Great hike and great views! Get some ice cream in Hyde Park then go walk it off!

DeAnna Knope

Childhood I loved it..now I'm afraid I'm just to old to climb that hill again..but still worth going to..its been many many years and very much worth it

Kelly Murphy

So many great trails with a beautiful view!

Denis Lobkov

Great park, awesome kids play area, nice challenging steps but worth the climb.

Jithin Manikantan

Cool place . You can hike the hill. Very steep and challenging..

Karen Blakely

It's a beautiful older park within walking distance of downtown Boise. And I would give it more stars because it is so beautiful, but it is not a place to hike if you want serenity away from it all. You will enjoy yourself, but be prepared to see people at every turn and on every trail.

Rory Fryer

Very fun. Lots of equipment and space to play for adults and kids. Area includes large play structure, shade trees, open grass field, sand volleyball, tennis courts and exercise park along with walking trails with amazing views from atop the hill.

Drew Paveza

It's one of the best places to hike in Idaho!

Bird Fleck

Fun place to hike and play! Close to other fun places in Hyde Park.

Monica Knight - Idaho Realtor

Beautiful park. Great views from the top of the hill. Hiking trails near by. Play equipment for the kids.

Don Sanford

This is a great starting point for hikes from a half mile to 10's of miles. I've been here countless times with my son and we always have a great time! There is also an awesome playground for the kids! Hike, bikes, walk or run!

Jonathan Collins

On the surface, a very straightforward lovely park tucked in a corner of Boise's beautiful North End. But look deeper and you'll discover many impressive trails along the ridges and behind Camel's Back Park itself. It is the gateway to a LOT of trails so whether that's a casual stroll, hike, or biking, it's all there! The park itself is the location of the Hyde Street Fair and the proximity to Hyde Park makes it a great pairing. Plenty of plat equipment for the kiddos, tennis courts, and lots of grass, a great park and what's behind it with the trail system is part of what makes Boise a fantastic place to live!

Anna Randolph

Hyde park street fair!!! Good turnout for vendors. Haven't been there for 20+ years, good to see it going strong

Christl Colven

So many trails start here, great hiking, biking and just relaxing.

Lori Diaz

So much fun, the food was way over priced, a small hotdogs was 8 bucks, cheapest thing there...the booths were fun to look at, a lady told me she had to pay 350 bucks to just put a booth up for the day...WOW...expensive

Sadaf Mirzai

Beautiful view of Boise and a wonderful afternoon walk. Wish the photo could capture the stunning autumn tree colors..

Phil J Jimenez

This park has a very impressive playground for the kids to climb and crawl through. Certainly one of the favorites my kiddos have visited in the valley. It also have very tall swings and of course the hiking in the foothills.

Becoming_Kenzie Jayne

Beautiful place to hike, play, and run! Happy kids happy life!

squamation

Had some nice trails, the playground was overrun with toddlers. Had a good time overall.

Sandy Bloom

Beautiful scenery along our 2.5 mile hike this morning.

Travis Silver

Really nice park for families and kids! It was a fun hike up the stairs and around the hills!! We really enjoyed ourselves

Amanda Hamell

Nice large playground for the kids and a large open field for them to run around in. Restrooms right by the playground. To keep the kids in view you do have to move around some, especially if they are younger. Four baby swings that my child loved. There is a fence between the road and the playground but the rest of it is open.

Whitney Rich

Love this park! It can be a bit windy at times. The back side includes lots of trails and with the new addition of stairs it is much more accessible

Kenneth Amick

Talk about a walk workout this is your place, fabulous views, great people meeting as you give yourself a walking treet.

Data Dink 26

Great place for kids and a nice little trail for small hikes or walks

N Meier

One of the best parks in Boise for kids. Plenty of trails and nature walks to hike. Top notch playground equipment and shade for picnics. Tennis courts and grass open areas suitable for fridbee. Common starting location for bicyclists with Hyde Park nearby.

Jasmine Rhoades

There's a beautiful hiking trail, along with ponds and a park. Been going there since I was real little. There's also bullfrogs you can catch in the ponds if ur not afraid to get a lil wet. Probably one of the best parks in boise.

Kim K

Bathrooms are clean and open, sadly the playground is closed still. We hiked all around the hill and hit those stairs twice. Great workout location.

Brian R

Great views of downtown large Park with lots of activities for all

Jamie Morris

What a climb. I am a big lady my husband is also a big person we made it up to the top in 4 minutes and around the mile in 18 minutes (altogether time). Im really proud of us. We've been walking and working out lately and was happy to do this on a day trip to boise. It is steep and quite a few stairs. Intimidating looking up. But the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, keep stepping and you'll soon reach the top. Bring some water and go at a comfortable pace. You got this.

Athena Gappmayer

This is Boise’s favorite North End park. Home of the Hyde Park Street Festival held in September each year. Lots of interesting people and adorable squirrels. Will you climb to the top of the Camel’s back?

Jacqueline Shafer

Great views of Boise! Hiking/walking paths are nice.

Ashley Marie

I love Camel's Back Park. Tons of stuff the kiddos can play on. They also offer adapted play for Littles with disabilities. Tennis Courts and wide open fields. Tons of shade trees and you can bring your pets too. Bring a leash if you plan on bringing them with you (Designated areas only)

Julia L

Very nice playground and hiking. Very little parking.

Amanda Freeland

This place never gets old ❤ So many activities to do before heading to the trails to enjoy the view behing the hills. Its beautiful. The wildlife and fresh air make it a place you want to return.

Donna Calkins

Great place for easy hiking and fun family activities park.

Chris Kirkland

Beautiful hiking and great place to enjoy clean air

Jessie Gibson

I really like what parks and rec has done to combat erosion yet still let us enjoy the hill.

Kenneth Roek

This park is actually really cool, and gives a lot of options

Michaela Goellner

It is our favorite park! So many different things to do!

Charlene Brown

Honestly, what a fantastic park! It is clean, well maintained, and has something for everyone. Little kids, big kids and grown ups can all be active and have a great time. The swings have a great heighth, the hill and walking trails are stellar, and the built in workout equipment is a nice touch.

Rosy Cressy

We Absolutely Love This Park/Trails🌲😎🌲 …

Russell Mower

We love this place. Beautiful and clean park. Sometimes a bit crowded, but overall fantastic.

Latrisha M Trahan

Great trails for hiking, mountain biking or a nice run.

Yak Pilot

Great place to visit. Get some exercise and look at great views.

Greg Stone

Great park with trails at all difficulties. We went as our family of 5. Our 5 year old and 3 year old was able to make the climb up the steep stairs on their own while I wore our 7 month old son. Beautiful view of the valley even on an overcast day.

Rainee Sellers

Didn't realize how pretty it is the further away you go from the city. Everyone's soooo friendly and I'm thankful to be here.

Shannon Bridges

An awesome place with a fantastic view of downtown Boise, right in the middle of town

Laura Collingwood

This park has great play equipment for children and added bonus exercise equipment for adults to get fit too. They have adequate bathrooms big enough for people with wheelchairs. There are plenty of walking trails which the city is working very hard to improve the landscaping scenery. My only recommendation is that the stairs should extend all the way down the hill facing the playground for better safety and accessibility because it is difficult to walk up a steep hill with only dirt in place. Also, it is dangerous to try to walk down the steep hill after the stairs end because it can result in tumbling down the hill since it is difficult to control your walking speed going straight down the steep hill. So, I would recommend taking a different trail if you have children and avoid trying to go down that steep hill to avoid injury. Since they are working on many projects to improve the site at this time, I am sure they will finish the stairs as they have the funding.

Caden Chandler

Great views and beautifully kept trails!

John Yarnell

One of the best parks in Boise. Great place for kids to play, dogs to run.

Mandah Milacku

Need more dog control regulations. Great park, but if you cant recall your dog, thye shouldn't be off leash. Off leash dogs approaching leashed dogs is how you cause problems. A leashed dog is already under control... The same expectations should apply to off leash.

Deanna Lamadrid-Jensen

Beautiful park with trails and incredible views. Also, a large, diverse playground for kids and exercise equipment for adults.

Robert Holt

Always a great park. Fun hikes up and around the hills. Awesome park for the kids

Cristina Plata

Nice hiking area. Tailor your hike anyway you like: longer and winding to the top, or short but steep. Typical Idaho foothill terrain means no shade nor trees. Nice views of downtown on one side, and foothills on the other side. The park is a short 7min drive from downtown.

Vern Johnson

We had an awesome time at Hyde Park street fair. Weather was nice and lots and lots of booths. Good food and worked off lunch climbing the hill.

Sallie Moore

It's worth the hike up the steep stair case hill to see the view.

ROAD TRIPPERS

I love to hike this in the spring and fall. The view of boise is #1. Easy hike for anyone. In summer don't forget to bring a bottle of water.fall tree color pictures is a must for family's bring a tri pod. For camera..in the fall. Don't litter trash can on top and around park . No bathrooms on top so use it before you start up at west end of park.

Katherine Thomas

The playground is so great, last time we easily spent three hours there without even getting to the hiking around, playing in the sand or tennis courts, or utilizing the huge lawn. Walking to lunch, coffee or ice cream is also a great factor.

Katie Smith

So much fun! And there’s a free gym by the playground that’s great!

mely mad

Great views of the city. Nice, quick hike for a weekday evening outing.

Carlee Burton

Love that you can hike up and around the hills there and most of Boise from the top

Matt Burns

The park has a good selection of playground equipment for the kids, there's also a spot with work out equipment for the fitness buffs. There's plenty of grass to play on. But the crown jewel of the park is the giant hill and all the hiking paths that go over and around it. If you'd like something less leisurely, test your mettle by hiking (if you can) the steep face of the hill for an awesome view. If you want to wear the kids out this is the place. As of 8/01/20 the playground is undergoing improvements and is temporarily closed, the rest of the park is still open and will still wear the kids out just fine.

Gary Canary

Very very well kept park. Had met my grandkids there was playing with my grandkids.

Mary Jo Braman

Choice of easier vs. more difficult climb. Pretty view. Can be short or longer walk. Play area for children. Workout area for adults.

Wendy Butterfield

It's a popular spot to get out and it's great for being able to maintain a safe distance from others. There are walking trails and biking trails as well. The hike up the camel's back is gruesome but only takes about 7 minutes, it's great exercise and you can see the beautiful sites of Boise.

Suzanne Shelvock

It's sad to see the people don't abide by the rules and stay off the MoneyPass! We tried our best and watch people just ignore it and walk on. You guys are doing a great job at keeping it up though. Awesome pass

SOUTHAMERICANBRI Southamericanbri

Perfect location , I visited this place from Houston Tx !! I would consider moving here

Michael Page

Neat spot to exercise or hang with the family, well maintained

Moisés Espinosa

A short hike with some nice trails and a beautiful view of Boise. The park has a lot of space, and it is located in a cute neighborhood. If you want to hike, I would recommend Rock Top instead. If you want to relax with friends, or a quick exercise session, this is the place.

Mercedes Jayne

Nice park, good trails. Seemed like a nice place for dogs. Got to test my battery booster whenI got back, friendly folks!

Frederick Huth

Take a hike into the foothills. A great place to unwind and enjoy the view. Easy or hard hike your choice.

Nell Josephine

Great place to spend with friends and family. Tennis courts, sand volleyball, park for the little ones, body-weight outdoor gym, and a huge green space to play in the grass. There’s also a really steep hill (that looks like a camel’s back) that a lot of people run up and down. There’s also some trails tucked behind that is fun to do if you’re looking for a nice stroll in the hills.

Ann Bachand

The Hyde Park Street Fair ar Camel's Back Park was awesome. Great day!!

andilynfrog

It's an annual pre-first day of school tradition to climb to the top of Camel's Back with my daughters and watch the sunrise on the last day of Summer Vacation. Today was a little smoky and hazy, but as always, the view was gorgeous. I'm always struck by the contrast of the lushly verdant treetop panorama that fills 180° arc as it's juxtaposed against the high desert flora of the opposing 180° view, with it's flaxen hair of dry grass and punctuating wildflowers and sage. It is a view that is, to me, quintessentially Boise.

Joshua Laney

Winter wonderland! Treasure Valley is truly a treasure!!!

Eric Torres

As a local, I often come here to just unwind and take a walk. It’s really beautiful during sunset hours! If you’re a photographer like me, go behind the hill and walk those trails. There is a lot of beautiful trees and flowers to get some amazing photographs!

Shawna Allen

Most beautiful kid, pet, family friendly park in quintessential historic North End Boise! My favorite park ever!

Kraig Adams

Lovely little park to chill in the shade. Walk up the stairs for some views and sun.

Josh Levey

Beautiful park with trails overlooking Boise

Spencer Cowan

Such a great park! From hiking trails to shady rests, it has it all.

Brenda Barriga

This park offers so much! It offers different trails all have beautiful views. The new stairs are a cute addition and great addition to your hike/walk. The park also has a pretty big playground for kids and lots of space for them to run free.

Siara Bell

Great place for family picnic, hiking trips, playgrounds, etc........

K DeLaiso

Nice trail,catch the sunset

Aron Kerr

We loved this park. The playground at the bottom of the hill was a lot of fun for the kids. Then we hiked to the top of the hill for some great views. Finally we did a nice 20min hike to the children's museum / center and played inside and out. Fantastic for young kids.

Donovan Klega

Amazing park, and an amazing view at the top! A short hike to the top of Camel's Back, but my oh my what a steep gain in elevation! Only complaint I have is that the exercise area has a concrete base. I think having bark or rubber instead would be a lot safer.

Scott Thornton

I grew up right across the street from the park back in the 60s and early 70s. We had a lot more freedom back then. Boise had a lot less people running around back then. Hiking and exploring is restricted to trails only now to reduce erosion and the city has put stairs in at the top of Angel's Slide. The stairs make it nice for ascending the last few yards and has eliminated erosion at the top. Very nice! The view from up top is fantastic! It all seemed much bigger back then, but it is much more beautiful to see now. Well worth the short climb to the top with several short moderate walking routes to the top and mountain biking trails leading to just about any length anyone would ever want. Very family friendly place!

Jackson Negus

Lots of fun for everyone. There are lots of trails and hills for running. It is a good place to run. Also good for smaller children as there is a very large park that is always fun. Good place for an event large or small, a picnic or a company barbecue. The streets to got there are quite narrow. I strongly recommend this place

Ray Cox

It was a great hike and the play structure for the kids looked fun to play on. The view over the city at the top was wonderful.

Star Means

Very nice park. Nice parking lot,big trees...

Brady Callahan

Great park, with foothills trails starting all along its Northeast edge. The hill is a good stiff hike up for a nice view, while there are flatter trails in the East edge of the park which will travel along some ponds and streams before branching out into the rest of the trail system. There's also Tennis and volleyball courts, a solid playground, open field space, and a tree covered area great for relaxing or slacklining. This park is often busy on nice days, so if you're looking to get away from people this might not be the best choice, unless you feel like heading up the trails.

Emerald Meiay Noble

Amazing place to go with children exercise and the view of the city

luke wester

Super nice view from the top! This is a super cool park right above old town. There is this huge hill, there the camel name comes from. It is quite steep but worth the time to hike up. If you don’t want to hike to the top of the hill, there is still a nice grassy park to hang out at with some nice shade.

Dan Hogaboom

Beautiful day to spend with friends in a park we grew up around. Maybe a few beers also. Lot of changes since we were kids. Nice park, even have stairs going up hill.

azjuly25

Amazing park, clean, safe and if you climb the stairs you'll be treated to a nice view and beautiful network of trails. SoCal , specifically L A and Santa Monica should learn something from Boise but that's another story!

Brittany Manning

One of my favorite spots in Boise. Great for hiking, biking, playing at the park, picnics and lots of fun restaurants close by in Hyde Park.

Tyler Burton

One of Boise best parks This park is great. If you don't feel fit enough to go on the trails there is a play ground with big trees to sit under and enjoy. The path are great just make sure you bring water to drink and sun screen. Some parts of the path are not shaded. But this is a park for all kind of people so come one come all the room for every body.

Jim Brown

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, North of old downtown - this has been a favorite place to go since I was a child. Today I appreciate the beautiful grassy landscape, clean from garbage or graffiti. A recent discovery (returning to the area after a few decades) is the miles of trails behind the park. Mt. Biking is both challenging and thrilling thanks to well groomed trails. Hikers and riders share the trails with courtesy and kindness. Love it!

Joseph Greene

Boise is the City of Trees, but you don't really notice it unless you climb up into the foothills and look out over the city. It's there that you realize, "Oh, I guess we really do live in a forest." Camel's Back is a wonderful place to do that. Don't be daunted by the sheer straight face climb. There's also a much easier route to the top around the side. The park itself is also beautiful, idyllic.

Greg Smith

A great gateway to the foothills, with a good view of boise. Really it's just the one hill that people go up and down. A quitenestial stop for any new Boisean

jeffrey wood

Such a great place to stretch your legs and enjoy the view or exercise.

Zenith Snow

Great Boise park to spend time at. You can have a picnic in the grass, walk the trails all around Camel's Back Park, or attend one of the many events hosted there year-round. The large hill has newly installed steps for those who want a workout, and you can see the whole city from the top of the hill. Along with the excellent playground equipment there is an exercise section where you can go and work out. Definitely one of the best parks in Boise.

Jose RV

Camel’s Back Park will always be a go to for me during the summer. It’s nice to see people enjoy this park as much as I do. Or too busy and everyone minds their own. You’ll find people hiking and biking the trails, bring your dog too! Hike to the top you’ll get a pretty few of the sunset and of downtown!

Keith Uitdewilligen

Pest park in Boise for running up a hill if you're into that for some reason

D Mark Bickmore

Great place to take the family and enjoy a beautiful day

E Brent Nelson

Great 12 mile run up the mountain. I'm dead.

Alexandra Eisenbarth

This is a classic park to visit when in Boise. There is so much to do from the playground, the tennis and volley ball courts, outdoor gym, a big field, and tons of hiking and walking opportunities. On parts of the trails it is as if you ventured away from city life even though its just a few turns away and some greenery away from Hyde Park. This park does get busy though depending on the time of year and day. Boisians tend to be friendly and willing to share space in this park.

Trent Young

A great place to take a walk or a hike. The work that they have done on the hillside to keep the main trail is amazing. So great that they were able to preserve this for future generations. The Hyde Park Street Fair in September is s huge hit. Best event of the kind in Boise!

Brendy McConnaughey

Something for everyone! Great playground, outdoor gym, a giant hill for a physical challenge or a leisurely walk on a path. You'll find people chilling in hammocks and on blankets, people cycling, dog walking and playing tennis. Choose your activity... you can do it here. It gets crowded when the weather is nice, but even when it's crowded it's a relaxing place to be.

Joseph Larsen

Nice hike! Even in the snow!

Gage Coprivnicar

This place is great for a day maybe two camping trip. The hills are fun to hike around in the morning, but just about anytime past 11 they start burning your feet and are hot to the touch. Its fun, but only for a little. There is also an observatory which is worth the look.

Nicole McNeill

Camels back park is fun for the whole family

Beatriz Roman

Great park for families with playground, tennis court, sand volleyball court, easy trails (dog on leash).

Aaron Wamsley

Good trails, good playground, stellar sledding in the winter.

Brandon Wood

It’s a busy park on nice days for a reason. Lots to do and great community atmosphere.

Ben Moore

Large, beautiful park located in downtown Boise! Lots of playground equipment for kids of all ages and Camels Back hill is great for hiking. You can take the steep, direct approach for a super work out, or take the longer less intense switchback trail. Perfect for a leisurely afternoon and a picnic, just get there a little early to claim a table and watch out for wasps as they've figured out this is a prime spot to find unattended food to feast upon!

Yovany Alcantar

Really nice good place to hike the park was amazing. Great place for a fun afternoon. Close to places to eat after a long hike. Good place for dogs. My family loves it.

Paul Wissenbach

Not only is this a great park to bring the kids to play or climb the big hill, it is a launching point for running, hiking, or mountain biking the trail system. At times this area can be quite crowded and parking is difficult depending on sports teams practicing or how many runners or hikers have parked in the lot.

cec g

Nice location to have picnic. Very close to hiking trails love the steep hill to hike on also very nice playground for ages 1-15 .

Jennifer Simon

This park has everything. Playground, exercise circuit, trails and plenty of parking. My only complaint is that they choose to run the sprinklers by the exercise circuit on Monday mornings at 8am. Prime workout hours during the hot summer!

Patrick Wangoi

Great place for family, and kids to play and hike the mountain.

Tanya Rev

Fun hike with trails of different levels of difficulty.

Eric Smith

One of the best parks in Boise. Great playground for kids. Hikes around park are great but is also right at base of 8th street trail system so access to miles of trails behind it. Tennis courts ands tons of space to run and play for kids of all ages.

Christie Armstrong

I've always heard of this park. I had never been before. It is quite a workout. I highly recommend taking the time to check it out. You won't be sorry.

Jarom Price

Great place if your local or not, best sceneries of down town boise, dog friendly, kid friendly, great for the hiker as well! This is such a fun place to be, and highly reconmend it for the summer! If you want to see one of the best parks in town, come here! It's one of a kind!

Jackson Ferguson

Excellent park with huge playground. Bathroom only open in summer so if your child has to go to the bathroom then you have to go home. Huge hiking hill to play on. I like the park and playground. I have ratings on other things too!

Dylan Davis

Favorite park in Boise hands down! With the ability to go walking on the trials, play tennis, sand volleyball, and throw the friz around its an all around great park. One of my favorite things to do is to sit on the hill on a late summer/fall evening and people watch and enjoy the nature. I definitely suggest taking some time to check it out!

Mili Christensen

Really nice park to go to. Great for hiking my boyfriend and I love to bring our dog up the hill and let her run around. Beautiful view of the city up there.

Steve Holland

This is a great place to go if you want to just go for a long walk. The trails are fairly easy to navigate without much of an incline to them with the exception of the tall hills at the entrance, but you can also just go around them should you choose to. Overall a great place to stretch your legs and get some exercise.

Steve Blake

Camel's Back Park is the gateway to Hulls Gulch, the beautiful Boise foothills and right-of-passage. Trails easy, medium or difficult are part of the trail system. In Boise, there's a trail for you, and your trail probably begins at Camel's Back Park. Restroom. Playground. Shady trees. Tennis. Special events. Located in the best Boise, neighbourhood attraction... Hyde Park. Enjoy. Stay hydrated with electrolytes on hikes/runs longer than 45 minutes. Enjoy

Daniel V

It has a really nice playground and some benches that were covered with trees. It was a great place to rest and relax. If it wasn't so hot, I probably would have checked out the hill and hiked up it. Very cool place!

Kevin hitesman

I always love Camalback park. Ots a great park. A big hill to climb wide open grass to run around on a really nice play ground for the kids an outdoor gym to work out on and its downtown Boise.

Lauren Rubin

Wonderful area to take my dogs on hikes. We enjoy all the trails and scenic views of Boise.

Pursuit OF Strength

If you are looking for a place to escape the city for a little bit and see some beautiful countryside, then Camel's Back Park is the place for you. Biking, Running, Hiking, Walking! It is very nice and well maintained. Great place to bring the dogs for a walk. I recommend this place for some killer cardio workouts. You can get in a nice cardio workout with 30min or 5 hours. Choice is up to you. But overall, It is beautiful and quiet, great view of the city and so peaceful. Highly recommend.

Claire James

Great park, large play structures and fun trails right there at the bottom of the foothills. Pretty this time of year with wildflowers blooming. Hyde Park eateries and shops just a quick walk down the road.

Danielle Ellstrom

I've been coming here since the death slides and spiders web playground toys 😂. Fun fact, my husband was the final reason the city had on taking the spiderweb toy out due to breaking his arm falling from it. …

Emily Wagner

A great park with fun play equipment. Very little shade so it's more fun on a cool day. Don't let the visual deception of the middle hill fool you...it's steep. After watching some kids crawl up it (the crawling should have been my first clue), we decided to try it despite the fact that I was in a dress and backless sandals. Wasn't my most glorious moment, but it is beautiful at the top. Next time I'll wear better shoes or just take one of the side trails. 😂

Simeon “PapaMidnight” Hill

It's outdoors it's Idaho so of course it's beautiful

Samuel Baxter

Nice trails with a great view of the city.

Chris Briggs

Popular park in boise's North end. Has all the amenities a park offers even trails that cover the foothills nearby.

Gina P

This park has trails that go for miles a miles. Popular with off road biking, hikers, and nature lovers. Great place to see local plants and birds. On the backside of the hill there are creeks and ponds. I lived in Boise for quite a few years before exploring this park, and I regret not doing it sooner. Beautiful views of downtown and Owyhee range on clear days. Great place to walk and clear your head. The initial incline is doable for most people and you can take your time if you are a bit out of shape.

Holly Johnson-Wallace

If you are looking for a large park that is perfect for a picnic and some hiking, this one is a good choice. You can take the challenging hike up camels back itself or hit the trails behind the hill that connect with other trail systems you would find at the end of 8th street (when it turns into a gravel road). The park itself has tennis courts, a free gym and a playground. It is very close to Hyde Park as well, so it is a great place to walk to after filling up on food in Hyde Park.

Dawn Neth

Good for family time and at the same time you can do hiking after letting kids play at the park

Kathryn Hoffberg

Really cool park with great views and a cool trail system

Terry Cavazos

Good and bad, it is what photos show. No trees, not surenwhy effort has not been put into trails, like bark? Other city's that have pride, groom trails correctly.

Peter Mattingly

This has to be one of the best sunset views in Boise!

Bob Marley

Had not realized that steps were built reaching to the top viewing point of the park. Pretty cool, I discovered that on the 4th of July this 2020 The fireworks I think could be seen as far away as Eagle and Meridian , but for sure I don't know, pretty far. The stairs I don't know if anyone has tumbled down them as of yet? But I get the feeling it's bound to happen, made of big pieces of sand stone they are steep and solid I imagine they must have winched them up into place or used Pixy dust? Pretty amazing, I guess I really would be blown away by visiting the Pyramids of Egypt or the many other incredible builds on the planet. It is pretty cool!

N F

Easy hike, rewarding view! A MUST when visiting Boise.

Zack Tucker (Xtrino)

Diverse activities and great views of downtown Boise in this park.

Christopher Clayton

A beautiful park just within the downtown range. Compared to other parks in the area, this one is a supreme paradise. You can find volleyball, hiking, slack-lining, frisbees, a playground, tennis courts, and even mountain bikes.

Justin Miller

Simple area to hike. When we went the weather was ideal. Not stunning but convenient for the locals. As others are saying, "good for the kids to romp". As a non-hiking 68 yr old I'll add, "good for the grampas also".

Keith Sharward

If the straight shot up the hill is too ambitious, bear off to the right and follow that trail to some steps that are a lot friendlier.

Rob Melton

An oasis in the city, Camel's Back Park has hiking trails, large grassy expanses, play areas for children, and benches for people-watching. An easy walk from the downtown area, it's a great place for family picnics, pick-up baseball, and off-leash areas for furry friends and children.

Gerald Sullivan

Camel's Back Park is a local treasure. It has green open space, playgrounds for kids, and tennis courts. Best of all, it's the hub for miles of biking and hiking trails that go into a Boise foothills. All the trails are open to dogs on a leash and several permit unleashed dogs. You can find streams and ponds to get your doggie cooled down.

Jessica

I have found childhood memories of the old playground circa 1994, but the new play structures are creative and fun. There are a lot of great trails and views here. You can spend the whole day in the park doing various activities, then wander down the street for food and drink.

Christie Carroll

I adore this park! Where I grew up, I do not recall people going to the park and hanging out for the heck of it. So when I came to Boise and found out that people's Saturday afternoon plans often include hanging around at a park playing frisbee/volleyball/slacklining, I was pleasantly surprised!This park tucked away in the North End, is perfect for gathering a big group of people together, hosting a BBQ, or just posting up a hammock to relax and read under a tree. Camel's Back also has a massive hill (which I am assuming is how it received its quirky name) that sits as a backdrop for the park. Behind this hill is a slew of trails where runners and hikers can roam around.

David

What to say? It's probably the most popular north end park, quite hip to be there. It's got nice trails behind it, but the park itself is much like many others except it carries the North End attitude with it sometimes. Don't be surprised to see hammocks set up and hackey-sacks being bandied about when you get there.

Jason White

Cool park, mild hiking.

Nathanael Nordby

Great place for all members of the family; hiking trails, work out stations, play ground, fields... You'll be hard pressed to find a better park in the valley.

Matthew Bates

Cool place to see the city and the location of the Hyde street fair.

Gianna_ weirdo

The hike was amazing and so worth it. Plus after you can go to the park and play or workout more. And you can see the dogs walking up the hill to and traveling.

Jeremy Wheeler

As a park, this is a very cool place. Great location and freindly surroundings. The main hike up camels back is pretty short but lots of trails branching from there. Nice way to spend an afternoon.

Jake Miller

Beautiful and green and one epic climb to the top

Colin Cole

Very cool stain case and trails

K Z

Ironic trail up to the best views of down town Boise. Tennis courts, trails for hike and bike, volley ball courts, play ground, bathrooms, large grass area for sunning, frisbee, soccer/football.. pets welcome.. the central park of Boise...I think only better!

Danny Hamilton

Great park for all ages, dogs, bikers, hikers, and walkers. Would give 4 stars cause it so packed but it really is a awesome park. The further you head northeast the less congested and so much to see.

Robert Imrie

Pretty trail, enjoyable for whole family.

Johanna Monson Geerts

It's a surprisingly big park with lots of trails. It's really quiet and peaceful in here and you can even see owls! A great place to walk, bike, run, and take dogs.

Tempest Balderzon

Such a beautiful spot filled with everything you need for a quick escape from the city yet close enough to grab a bite to eat or a beer after a day on the trails🌞 …

Janelle Molina

Well that's a mountain to climb!! 136 stairs to the top! The boys lungs were burning he whole drive home. The only reason for the four stars was the aggressively annoying teenagers yelling curse words every other second. It's no fault of the park but it killed the ambience for my youngest nephew and niece.

Ashley D

This is a great park with a lot of open space and a great play structure for kids to run and play. The trails are fun and my older kids love attempting to climb the steep front of the hill.

Mike Tompkins

beautiful area. Really bummed that they put the stairs in the hill though. Boise has changed so much. used to be such a challenge to go straight up the hill and fun to sled down.

Katie Carmichael

It can get a bit crowded on the weekends, but my kids love this park. There's so much to do and tons or room to just run around. I also like that you can get on the hiking trails right from the park.

Chris McQuillan

Miles of very well groomed trails just out of the North end of Boise. Mostly slight grades and rolling hills. Dry, Sandy trails. Both hikers and bikers share them, with a few blocked to bikers.

Idahome Smiles Teeth Whitening

What a cutie ol little park in the heart of dt Boise. This is a great place for a family bbq, or you can ride or hike the trails, or to let your kids play in the playground. The view is incredible at the top.

Eliza Connor

This nice 10 acre neighborhood park has a picnic area, playground, restrooms, and four tennis courts; there is free parking for 50 cars. The feature that brought us here was the easy access to the Hulls Gulch/Camels Back Reserve trails and beyond.

Linda Gomez

Had a really good time, it was a blast music was great

Joe Daniel

Great park. New playground equipment and exercise equipment. Nice hiking trails and plenty of local shops close by.

cameron king

Just came for the Hyde park street fair, and it was awesome. Nice, clean park even when events aren't going on. Also the availability of the hiking is a strong plus for active people or families.

Michelle Rasor

Love the personality of this park! The expanse of trees and grass sprinkled with picnics, hammocks, slackliners.... A playground for children and workout stations for adults alongside. The hills provide hiking trails and adventure. Bbq and picnic tables. Tennis courts and volleyball. There's something for everyone here.

Nicholas Dhuyvetter

Great place for the whole family. Playground for the kids, plenty of grass to run around on, hiking & biking trails, plus a workout area. Beautiful!

Kyle Yee

Awesome spot to spend a sunny day. Lots of different areas to hang out. They have a huge hill you can run up. There allot of good trees to hang a hammock or set up the slack line

Matt Lighten

Hiked Camelsback on Labor Day with friends and family, Camelsback is worthy of it's North End nostalgia. Native grasses and wild flowers grow in the springs and turn in the summer and fall. Designated pathways & hiking trails, picturesque park & playground.

Tasnim Ara Islam Mou

Camel's Back Park is an 11-acre park which is adjacent to the 63 acre Camel's Back Reserve and the 292 acre Hulls Gulch Reserve. The park has picnic tables, clean restrooms, play areas, an outdoor gym on a 1927 sq ft pad, practice fields, and facilities for tennis and volleyball. It has different levels of difficulty based hiking trail. You can also see the Hull's Pond just behind it. This is one of the best places to watch sunset in Boise. I would say this is a great place to hike or have a walk everyday or have a picnic at weekends and enjoy the peaceful sunset.

Ian Sanders

Fun hills and trails. Playground is nice. Restrooms are sketchy. Have witnessed drug activity in the past, have felt more comfortable recently as the neighborhood has cleaned up.

Stephanie Lynn

Still wonderful and I was so greatful for some warmer 40 and 50 degree weather to enjoy the trails again.

Josie Heath

Well-maintained, wide, sandy trail systems for all levels of user. Great trails to run on if you're looking for gentle inclines.

Gage Hamilton

Beautiful views, lots of space for whatever you want to do. Sand volleyball court, playground, and of course the camels back hill. Get here early on a beautiful weekend if you want to claim a good spot, this place gets pretty busy.

Alex Lange

I have been going here for years. It is in a beautiful part of boise with a ton of great shops to visit nearby. The park is large with a fun playground for the kids. It is dog friendly with a ton of great walking trails.

Nathan Cook

One of the best parks in Boise. Check out all the trails that connect to the Ridges to Rivers trail system that leave from the back side of the camel's hump.

Bonita J

Awesome place. But pretty steep

David Cruz

Love this place to hike and let my dog run around.

d c

A staple to downtown Boise, with a nice playground, open field, hiking / sledding hill, outdoor gym, and restrooms. Parking is free but very limited. Walking distance to Hyde Park with plenty of restaurants, bars, coffee, and Goody's ice cream. I would consider it to be a place to visit with almost any trip to Boise.

Jacqueline Schillinger

Really awesome park with something for everyone. Also where you can catch the Camel's back trailhead to get a great view of the city and surrounding hills beyond.

Cy

This park has a great playground, a workspace, tennis court, sand volleyball court, large grass field, and trails. Clean and well taken care of. Restrooms and water fountains work.

wolfie girl 503

Great hike great park even have bicycle centers

Amanda Allen

Beautiful. Trails are well maintained, new stairs are awesome. Grass is pretty good, a few mud spots in high traffic areas

kevin mow

Parks like this one reflect what kind of town or city it sits in. I'm happy to live in Boise based upon having access to this park alone.

rafael villa

Amazing place for families, awesome lunch and dinner restaurants close by, And amazing place to support activities.

Riley Zahm

Great people in the heart of Boise's northern. Excellent hiking options and dog friendly. One odlf my favorite Park's to visit.

Victoria

Although some of the paths were closed due to construction or for errosion correction, the trails are well marked so that everyone could enjoy the trails and beautiful views. A wonderful treasure for the whole family!!

Aaron Reynolds

Love it 100%. I literally had the most amazing hike of my life at this park I would recommend this for a good photo spot aswell.

jeffy homeslice

running here brings me soo much joy!

Walter Clayton

Grew up going to Camel's back as a kid in the 70's. Love the view from the top of it.

Maddie Zoellner

This park is a classic Boise attraction. My kids and I love going here for a quick hike around the foothills and then playing at the park. There’s something for everyone.

Bill Murry

Pros: This is a really awesome park. Outdoor gym, huge playscape area, hiking trails, sand volley ball, tennis courts, picnic tables, and trees Cons: You cant throw a rock without hitting a hippy or a vw van.

Drew Lynes

This park is the outdoor hub of the North-end and is very well used and maintained. There is a hiking trail with amazing views of Boise, fun playground equipment, and a small open field for playing.

Iris Miranda

Loved the space and hill hike.

Lonnie Schott

The site of the annual Hyde Park Street Fair is a great place to hold such an event. This years event was bigger and better with more vendor booths and great, food and music and seemed more attended than recent years. Another of Boise's must attend events.

Joshua Harer

Beautiful park, large kids play area, great beginner hills to hike that offer both stairs and a tapered ramp for a stroller. Great view of Boise from the top!!!

Bella A

Beautiful trails and great park. Awesome place to hang a hammock and chill out. Go to the top of the hill for sun set its beautiful

Lisa Rankins

Camel's Back is one of Boise's best spots. Climb the hill for great views of downtown. Kids love to climb, and there are so many different teails to take, you don't have to take the tough mudder route. The play area has lots of equipment for the kids, and it is very close to the trwndy Hyde Park shopping and eateries.

jc cash

Awesome park for all ages and dogs too.

hillary duncan

What an awesome afternoon at this location! Beautiful views when you do the hike, lots of trees lots of shade lots of picnic area. In the heart of Boise it was just beautiful.

Sean Bowman

Camel's back park use to be a lot better when I was a kid with the big slides it used to have. Its still very enjoyable great place to take the family or go for a hike.

Cody White

Great place to go out with the kids or dogs. Lots of places to hike/walk and a pretty decent playground

Cait Prentice

Lovely lady lumps

Josh Cassels

Probably one of the coolest parks in Boise! We often take visitors here to conquer the crazy steep hill! There is so much to do here, and a very chill vibe. Typically you will see people slacklining, throwing frisbees, playing volleyball, and playing with dogs! Definitely gatta check it out!

Spence Patrick

The new rock stair case adds a lot to this park. It's a great place for taking the city in, running, Mt biking or taking my kid to the park.

Jeremiah Rausch

There is so many things to do here from the playground equipment to the large number of trails that you can head off on. Caution it can be very busy on the weekends so prepare for people.

Easy, short hike trails, good for to go with younger kids/beginner hikers. Then hop to the car to get ice cream from Goodys afterwards 😁 …

JohnPaul Jimenez

A little irritated with the city of Boise because the playground is closed off and there is no signs of construction. But the view from up on the hill is beyond amazing!

Dome V

CAmels back isn’t what it used to be. Stairs going all the way to the top?? It’s like someone from out of town moved here and just decided they were “making things nice/convenient” if you wanted to use the stairs you went up the side all locals knew this. Kids these days will never get the full experience and that bums me out.

Max Hilton

Camelback park has something for everyone! The hiking area has been improved with stairs so it is easy to get to the top easily.

Jeremy assayah

Nice park with excellent outdoor gym and playground! Access to hiking and stair running right there as well.

Paul Weldon

A beautiful, safe, family friendly park. Climb the hill for a great view!

Great time with the grandkids they loved the Boise view and had a great time with grandma great memories very blessed I'm still able to do outdoors things with my grandkids

Lily Kenyon

Loved the hill for the kids, but the lines of sight are not super clear, so it was hard to keep an eye on everyone all at once. Love the workout equipment!

Brian Evans

This lil spot is the gateway to one of the best trail systems I have ever seen. I have been all over WA OR and northern ID and this is on par with any of them. And it's right here in town.

Patti

I lived across the street for years. it's a great park for hiking, playing, picnic-ing, fairs and meeting nice people! Great energy there!

Janie Cowart

View is five stars. The hill is steep and it’s hard to walk up those stairs. But it’s worth it.

Ryan Smith

Great park for the kids or for a good hike, large playground. Open areas for kite flying and launching your hobby rockets.

Lis Stewart

Great park, always crowded. There's even a place to string up your hammock. Be sure to climb to the top of the hills for a fantastic view of the city.

Lex Morley

I've been coming here since I was way little and I have forever loved this park! I highly recommend coming here for any kind of event you want. Plus the street fairs they have here are the best!!!

Patrick O'Very

Great place to hike year round the trails are not too Steep and it's Sandy so you don't ruin the trails when they're wet and muddy.

Barb Jones

Love climbing "the hill" and taking all the short hikes on other side.

Cooper Thompson

Always been my favorite neighborhood park.

Felicia McNulty

Fun hiking trails. The kids love running through here. Nice to see lots of idahoans out enjoying nature and all its beauty.

Hyde Park Fair was awesomely entertaining. Loved the bands that jamed on stage. Good food & drink. Wonderfully unique items to purchase at the venders' booths. Best time & place for people watching.

Great park that is a gateway to trails in the foothills. Play on the jungle gym, the outdoor workout equipment, the tennis courts, and go for a hike on the edge of Boise.

One of the best parks in Boise. Hike up the hill for a spectacular view of the North End and downtown area.

Always enjoy spending a few minutes on the grass of Camels back park to stretch, unwind and people watch after a mtn bike ride in the nearby foothills; tonight was no different.

If you are looking for a challenging hike this I not the best option in Boise, nice park area for kids and dog walks but not secluded and not for a great workout
