It is an ok camp if you really have to stay. One best thing for here is the spring water
Central location in the beautiful centennial valley. Something like 50 bird species logged in a single day.
Camp site 1 is our favorite.
(I shouldn't be sharing this because of how special the Centennial Valley is.) I love the Centennial Valley, it is a place which feels untouched and even if it is, time moves slowly. And as far as the campground is concerned, it is such a quiet and relaxing place to be. Because it is off the beaten path, you can be sure that at the right time it is possible to actually have the campground all to yourself (your choice of spots). But do use the horse trailer to keep your food locked up for this is bear country, and be sure you buy gas in Lima, Montana or Dubois, Idaho if your coming in from the west off of I-15. Or somewhere in the Island Park area on U.S. 20 (where the price of gas is like highway robbery; better off to buy in West Yellowstone, Montana, the next closest place) if your coming in from the east.
Nice little primitive campground. About 12 sites, some suitable for smaller RVs. Steep ramp down to the lake for canoe launch. Fresh water coming out of a pipe on the hillside. Vault toilet and bear proof lockers. No trash cans, but has fire rings and picnic tables.
Pretty good campground the main downsides are the roads getting to it and the lack of shade. Thethe hiking trails are ok but not that special and fishing there is only allowed in very small creeks that are almost dry. The upsides are the views and lack of other people. Watching the sunset was amazing and you can see so many stars at night due to the lack of light pollution anywhere near by.
