The campground host was excellent. He gave us junior ranger packets for the grandkids. It was late in the season so the lake was too low to go swimming at the beach.

Great location with a lake view and just above the swimming areas!

The campground was neat and scenery was beautiful.
Please be aware, campers, that you'll turn off the 'main road' (don't remember which highway) and there's not a convenient 'last chance to get gas', so not knowing this, we were quite low on gas on our way back to that highway. We decided to stop at a marina and get a few gallons of gas, which was time consuming and costly though they were very friendly, and said it happens to people often.
Make sure your gas tank is filled well before you start to get close to the campground.

Nice quiet site not too far from Boise area. My kids really enjoyed the little swimming area. No water, electricity, or cell service (at least with our carrier) so come prepared.
