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.

This campground is amazing! We try to come here, every year. New tables are great! The atmosphere is so perfect with no cell service. The river and swimming area can't be beat and the hot pool is wonderful!

Beautiful campground. Excellent hot Springs! Well maintained by Camp Host! Many FCFS spots interspersed with reservable sites so you can have an option to stay longer or move to a different site. Also very close to a dispersed camping area. A real winner!

Excellent spot to spend a week. it is quiet with no Motorcycles or Off Road vehicles running through as not permitted. miles upon miles to explore the back country. there is a nice deep hole for swimming and even a hot pool to soak. the camp host is excellent and very good to work with and has information on surroundings This is by far the best quiet campground you can visit

Generally a great campground and 5 stars, but this time…springs pool was only half cleaned and the toilets weren’t touched all week. Looked and smelled like a sewer as well as fly and mosquito infested.

Great fishing and rafting on hot days. We were there for 5 days and it was very relaxing . The down side was the restrooms were not cleaned and ran out of toilet paper. We will return as always next summer.

Beautiful campground! I like that it’s paved and they don’t allow motorcycles, 4-wheelers, side-by-sides, etc. in the campground.
