Clean shaded campsites in the A loop. B loop sites are right next to each other. Friendly host. Good hiking trails nearby. Potable water for drinking but not available to fill RV and no dump station.

Potato Patch campground is ALWAYS clean & it is due to The camp hosts - Ken & Dodie doing such a good job! Our friends camp next to us & we make sure we camp there at least 3 times a year. There is also a very nice trail that our dog loves going on. One of my favorite campgrounds!

The campsite has electricity in loop B. Also compositing toilets which are good for the environment. Nice spacious campsites. Each pad has a nice paved area so nice keeping the rv clean. Lots of hiking trails. Close to exploring the town of Jerome.
