Quick Overview

Donnelly has several RV dump stations in the area, with some offering free access to travelers in the Long Valley of central Idaho between Cascade and McCall. This small Valley County community of about 200 sits on Highway 55 along the western shore of Lake Cascade at about 4,860 feet elevation, serving as a quiet alternative to the busier McCall resort area 15 miles to the north. RV dump station and sani-dump access in Donnelly provides important tank maintenance for the growing number of RVers who camp along the lake and use the valley as a base for exploring central Idaho's mountain backcountry. The sanitary dump station facilities serve travelers in a region where Boise National Forest surrounds the community and dispersed camping opportunities are abundant on forest roads. Donnelly's character is distinctly small-town and rural, with a handful of businesses on the main highway and a pace of life that moves considerably slower than neighboring McCall's resort bustle. Tamarack Resort, a four-season mountain resort with skiing, golf, and mountain biking, operates south of town on the west side of the valley, bringing seasonal visitors and development to this quiet stretch of Highway 55. The Gold Fork Hot Springs nearby provides natural soaking pools in a mountain setting that serves as one of the valley's most popular attractions during all seasons. The surrounding Boise National Forest encompasses millions of acres of mountain terrain, and the Long Valley's central position makes Donnelly a practical base camp for accessing backcountry areas in every direction from this quiet stretch of Highway 55 between the larger communities of Cascade and McCall.

Traveling to Donnelly by RV

Donnelly sits on Highway 55 about 85 miles north of Boise and 15 miles south of McCall. The highway follows the Long Valley through gentle terrain that is much easier for RVs than the canyon sections south of Cascade. From Boise, the drive takes about two hours through the Payette River canyon on Highway 55. Fuel is available in Donnelly at a small station. Very limited grocery options exist locally -- McCall or Cascade provide better provisioning. Cell coverage is fair in the valley but drops off quickly in the surrounding national forest. Highway 55 handles RVs without difficulty through this flat valley stretch. The Long Valley floor is flat and open, making it one of the more RV-friendly stretches of Highway 55, and the turnoffs to forest roads and recreation areas are generally well-signed along this central Idaho corridor.
