Baumgartner Campground is praised for its clean, well-maintained sites, each equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and tent pads. Visitors appreciate the proximity to the river and hot springs, which enhance the camping experience, along with the friendly and helpful camp host. While access via the rough road from Featherville is noted as a downside, the overall atmosphere, privacy between sites, and amenities make it a popular choice for families and returning guests.

Beware of leeches in the river. Everything was okay other than that. Great private campsites. But not being able to enjoy the river was disappointing as the hot springs pool is very warm. Great for an early morning dip but too warm for anything in the afternoon in August.
Overall it was a good experience!

We enjoy being near the river and listening to the sounds of the wilderness. The paved campground makes things easier for my husband who is in a wheelchair. The hot pool with the hot springs water is very convenient and easy to access.

We loved our experience this year at Baumgartner! The campground host was constantly checking the facilities to keep them clean and restocked. He was also checking in with us to see how we were doing. Great time!

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.
