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 campground is very nice with camp sites spaced out a bit. Floating and swimming hole are great. Fishing was ok, maybe better with a fly rod. Overall a good first experience, we expect to be back.

Very nice campground in a good location with a beautiful creek adjacent. The only thing I didn't like was the inundation with OHVs nearby. Campers should know that is the predominant recreational activity in this area so if that isn't your thing, you likely won't be comfortable in this place.

This was our second time here. This year we brought two granddaughters with us. We stayed 8 days and had a great time.

The river was close to our site and easily accessible. The natural hot spring filled pool was refreshing.

One thing that impressed us was the cleanliness of the restroom facilities. I don't think I have seen any better maintained than here.

The campground was well-maintained and nice. Very quiet even with lots of people. Hot pool was great! Tube floated down the river and enjoyed the swimming hole. Not all dogs were on leashes. I appreciate it that the ATVs are not allowed to drive within the campground

Beautiful campground with paved sites now and even the trail to the hot pool is paved. We really appreciate the ban on OHVs in the campground; otherwise, they would be buzzing in constantly to check out the springs and swimming hole, kids doing laps on them, etc. It was very quiet, people seemed to work out sharing or taking turns in the pool (even with the huge gang from the group campground), the nature trail was lovely, and we saw many birds, some deer, and even a family of six river otters. Plenty of vault toilets and water spigots, double sites, and roomy tent pads. Friendly and informative hosts, too!

Really nice campground. Clean and well organized. The bathrooms were especially spotless and odor free, which is saying something for an outdoor privy!

Great location and one of my favorite campgrounds. Campground is a little spread out which is nice as you are not right next door to your neighbor, but can mean it is a bit a walk to the swimming hole or the hot spring. They do have many water spigots and bathrooms available so you are never too far from one. Lots of tall trees for shade and a geocache nearby
