My family and I love this camping site! My kids get to ride their bikes, we get to get in the steam just down the entrance and have the best time!

Beautiful small campground under towering Ponderosa pines. No water or power at sites. The pump near our site was not working, but another camper found one some distance away. Vault toilet was fine; I appreciated the door bolt. Some shade. These sites work best for tent campers and trailers 23' or smaller. Park Pass accepted. Reservable.

I loved the spot we were on. We were close to the bathroom, and it was so beautiful. The only problem was when I couple with her.Two boys came on saturday and woke up chopping wood at seven in the morning and left the toilet seat up.So it stunk in there, because you're supposed to leave the toilet seat down. They don't know the rules to camping, and it kind of put a squash on everybody else there. Otherwise the place was beautiful.It didn't have a lake very close by.But if you want to just sit under the trees and relax, it was beautiful.

This is a beautiful campground with very clean bathroom/pit toilets. It was peaceful and had plenty of walking and hiking access points. It was well worth a 30 mi off route stop over.

Spacious site. It was quiet and very relaxing. Enjoyed that the campsite is away from Highway 21. We would stay here again.

Nice CG with nice spacing between sites. Paved road in and paved pads a plus. Other than sparse vegetation, a very good place to camp. Road in has a steep sharp curve, but not an issue if you take your time.

Great campground only 45 minutes from Boise. I used an RV site and it was easy to access. Having cell service and a garbage service were added pluses!
