very good campsite that’s close to Boise. clean and great swimming in the hotter months, also very dog friendly. can get pretty busy so best to get there early. me and my dog coconut had a very fun time (:
We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed ourselves. Pump for water was locked. Bathrooms were filthy no toilet paper. Overall had a great space to set up camp. No bugs, lots of butterflies no other wildlife other that Squirrels, chipmunks, lots and lots of birds. Road to the camp is horrendous 😫 and the other way was better but not for the faint of heart with height fear like me. Very very beautiful.
