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.

The first part of the week was excellent— Heidi was sweet, worked hard, and there was complete peace in the campground- then her husband returned from a few days of being gone- he began to nit pick about everything causing stress and unrest- one day our dog had been on a leash the entire day in camp- our family had gathered to eat dinner and we took him off the leash because everyone was petting him and interacting with him- he was in our camp and we were all minding our business- our neighbors dog was also off leash in their camp and also not causing problems- the camp host came over and threatened to call the sheriff- Really? He never said a word to our neighbors about their dog. It was very uncalled for-

We have been coming to this campground for several years. I took my kids there when they were young, and now my daughter has taken her sons there twice. We have a wonderful time every time we go!

The camp host kept the motorcycles, utvs and 4 wheelers from riding through the campground. That made the campground much more quite. Thank you

Great time. Stayed in the group site with the apple tree. We’ll be staying there again for sure.

Very nice campground and very clean. Campground host was very helpful and did a nice job maintaining the park. The gravel road out the eleven miles wasn’t expected to be quite as washboard and dusty to getting there, we noticed this area seems popular and receives a fair amount of traffic for users.

Awesome group campground, you basically get a whole loop of campgrounds in one big campground with a few bathrooms and newly installed drinkable water in the campground. The center pavilion is very nice. One of the best group campgrounds I have used, look forward to using it again sometime.

We have been coming to Baumgartner's for years. Our kids came here and now their kids live it, too. The river and hot tub make it the perfect camping spot.
