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.

More gravel needed around fire rings to make the mud manageable during rain. It rains a lot at Thompson Flats and Lake Cleveland.
