I booked sites 2 and 6 for a group of people. We all ended up staying at site 2, as there was more flat area for tents and more open space overall. All sites are very close to bathrooms. It is about 40 minutes away from cell service, which was nice! Quiet, peaceful campground.

Visited from southern California and was very surprised at how beautiful Idaho is and this campground was amazing! Would definitely visit here again. Beautiful scenery and very off grid

This camp site is nonexistent. The owners of the Ski Lodge have dismantled it and have the fire ring leaning against their building. There is no table, or any other semblance of a campsite there. Choose a different spot.
