The campground is beautiful and quiet. It has a nice little creek that my kids and pups loved! The only downfall is the restrooms across from campsite 1 was in very poor condition.

The campground is very clean with a lot of trees. The weather was nice and cool while Twin falls was at 90's. We stayed for one night and it was nice.

If you are tent camping I recommend avoiding site 5 as it is extremely small. All the other sites have plenty of space but this one for whatever reason is super small. The table is on a hillslope and surrounded by shrubs. If you are just in an RV it's probably fine. Also the campground map is wrong on the website. The actual campsites are about 1000 ft northeast of where they are located on the map. It's a single road heading straight north with only a small loop at the end. Check google earth to see the actual location.

The place is very nice, but the Lower Penstemon sign was down on the Canyon Rd. so beware. It made finding the place a bit tricky for new to the area camper friends.

The campground itself was great. The vault toilets were terrible. They were filthy. The floors were carpeted with dead flies. The camp host from porcupine springs kindly came and cleaned them a couple of days into our stay. It was not her job, but whomever job it was had failed to do it. Other than that, good place to camp.
