What Guests Are Saying
Thompson Flat is praised as a great and quiet camping spot, ideal for family gatherings. However, there were issues with reservation management, leading to campers being unable to access their reserved sites, and noise from day users in group areas. Improvements such as better signage for group sites and more gravel around fire rings could enhance the experience during rainy weather.

Beautiful campground way up a mountain in the middle of Idaho. We loved this site, had a beautiful view of the Perseid Meteor Shower and will remember this night forever.

We ended up moving to spot #4. Spot 2 is rated for a 50’ rig and we could not back our 5th wheel in easily. We got luck spot 4 was unoccupied or reserved. Spot 2 seemed closer to the road and less private. Would not recommend for a rig 40’+. Maybe not even more than 30’. Spot was very pretty though.

This is a great campsite and the weather couldn’t have been better. The wildflowers were beautiful and the temp at night was perfect. This place could be totally booked and you still feel secluded and it’s so close to Lake Cleveland which is the perfect place to spend a hot summer day!
