The sites vary...some are right on the river, shady and very nice; others are on the other side of the road and not so shady or private. On the whole, though, this is a great, FREE place to camp about 30 miles from Boise. At the dam, there are dumpsters and water. There are vault toilets near some of the campsites. There is a lot of daytime traffic for boating and fishing. There is no cell service in the campsites, although you can often get a Verizon signal near the garage at the dam (garage is across the parking lot from the restroom) .

This campground isn't suitable for RVs. The road in is rough and narrow, turns are tight and most of the sites are small.

Beautiful shady campground perched on the bluff between the beach and Highway 101. A few sites have ocean views. Others back up on the highway. We had one of the latter sites, but road noise dies down at night. There is a dump station (pay), water fill-up, and flush toilets.

The main issue to be aware of is that the sites, while beautiful, nicely spaced for privacy, and shady, are generally too small for large rigs...this is primarily a tent and smaller vehicle campground. There were a few larger rigs there, but some had their slides impinging on the road. Many sites could not accommodate them at all. If you're planning to visit in a larger rig, I would strongly recommend making a reservation, as it may be impossible to get a site you can fit into without one. Even in prime season (early August) there are sites to be had without reservations, although maybe not on the weekend.

The tidepools at the north end of the beach are great. The price is right...$24, or for those of us with senior passes, $12.
