Gorgeous little Campground...kind out in the middle of no where. Tent or small trailers probably best.
Small campground, just used it for an over night stay. Cheap price ($8) as it should be. Looks like a good place to fish the nearby creek, it is still in Idaho. Got there late at night and left early so not too much to say. It does have vaulted toilets. I was a little surprised how few sites were remainingy, but we managed to find a few spots left open. Beautiful in the September with all the leaves changing.
We stayed at this campground over July 4th weekend 2019..Very beautiful spot... We got excellent spring water flowing into the creek just below campground #4.(ran it through our Brita).. the trail is steep from the creek back up to the campground . Bring plenty of bug spray mosquitoes were bad. weather was perfect the 3 days we were there... we got the impression that not too many people stay here.. restrooms were good and garbage cans are available. Probably the only downside of this campground are the bugs.
It’s fine for a quick overnight, but not a destination for multiple nights. There were only 2 sites occupied…I cannot imagine it would ever be filled.
