Summary

AI generated

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.

Campground was superb. All paved. Clean pit toilets. Plenty of water outlets. No problem maneuvering with 30' fifth wheel.

Road in was 9 mi of gravel. At lot of corrugation so pretty rough. Not a pleasant drive but no sharp turns or potholes/rocks.

Couldn’t even get into the campsite way too may trees and looks like a lot of them have been hit is the past. Even the camp host told us it’s hard to get trailers in and out of there!

The campground was great! We especially loved the water faucets that had just been installed. It was wonderful to have water in the campgrounds. The vault toilets were well maintained and the smell was minimal. We will use the camp site again in the future.

The campsite was very clean and maintained. The bathroom was very clean. It was very nice having a reservation and our name on the site. The hot bath was clean.

I love Baumgartner park, but this year we were inundated with hornets. We asked the camp host who said there was a nest in the camp site right next to ours. Bummer. I got stung, as well as my friend.
