Visitors appreciate the proximity to the river and hot springs, which enhance the camping experience, along with the friendly and helpful camp host.

This is a great campground. Nice clean sites and well taken care of. Each site has its own picnic table and campfire ring, as well as a tent pad. Huge tall trees around most of the sites. Potable water and vault toilet access never far away from any site. Most of the camp sites are in very close proximity to the river and the hot springs are awesome, especially after getting into the freezing river. I have stayed here a number of times and in general, all of the other guests are always nice and respectful of the campground rules and other campers. Great place to take the family. I'll be back.

Been camping here consistently for about 25 years. It's as great a campground as it ever has been. Didnt soak in the hotpool since it was so hot but jumping off the rock in the middle of the river is sure refreshing. Caught some tiny trout, saw a couple snakes.

Clean bathrooms, clean hot springs. I like that the campsite are mostly spread out and that ATVs etc are not allowed to race around the campground. Thank you.

Our first time at this campground and we loved it. The river swimming hole was perfect; plenty of shallow bits for the toddler but in the middle it was deep for swimming and fun to watch people jump off the boulder. Some of us really enjoyed the hot spring pool, but it was pretty hot for use in July. Amenities included: vault toilets, fire ring, picnic table, dumpsters and useable water. Pretty shady overall, but we definitely needed our easy up during the day. Even though campground was full, there was plenty of privacy between spots. We'll definitely be back here again.

Very nice campground! Camp host was friendly and helpful. Love the hot springs! Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Road in to campground from featherville was very washboardy. Recommend the nature trail. Pet friendly.

We always enjoy our stays here, even when there are multiple families crammed into single sites over the 4th of July weekend. Our site was clean and shaded, the restrooms and pool were clean, and the host was very nice and on top of the riders ignoring the No OHVs signs. The nature trail is nice, the variety of birds is wonderful, and the paved camp road is great for bicycles. My only suggestion is to buy the host a quieter generator, or build him a generator house. I was so grateful we didn't have a site near his.

We were there the week before the 4th of July. We always go on either Sunday or Monday since we are retired. We stayed 3 nights. The campground is clean, and was nice and quiet. People were not loud or rowdy. We enjoyed our stay.
