We stayed here for 2 nights and what a gem of a find. Right off the highway. Paved pull through facing the water accommodated our combined 58 ft no problem. W/E a real treat. Used our interagency pass for a discount too. Craters of the Moon a short drive away and worth it. We stayed in site 4 so heard no noise from highway traffic. Our dogs loved the wide open spaces to run around. Because it was nearing end of season, there were only a handful of campers and we loved the peace and solitude. Highly recommend!

This is a nice little campground. We were just passing through for the night but it was nice to have power hookups and a beautiful sunset over the lake and mountains. Bathrooms were average. There is a nice little trail with history markers where we were able to give the dogs some exercise. Overall it was a good experience and would recommend to anybody passing through or looking for a nice and quiet getaway in the area!

This is such a beautiful and quiet place. Only staying for one night but it’s great to have somewhere nice to rest. Only issue is with the online reservation through rec.gov. I selected site 6, but my reservation confirmation shows a double rv site (number 19). I certainly did not select a double site. I don’t know how to change it, and the number to the park is not valid.
