A nice little spot to get away from town. The site we were at had lots of gofer holes, or are they ground squirrels, we were in tents so we noticed the holes and lumps ! (Huge ants, mosquitoes too) peaceful at night, everyone went to be bed at dusk. Kids liked the loop. The bathrooms and trash could use more attention . No host on site.

Hi. I wasn't able to use the two camp sites so I gave them to my daughters and their families. They thoroughly enjoyed the time there. The restrooms were clean and the sites were in great shape. Very positive experience for them. They were tent camping.

Bathroom was very clean and odor free. Water out of pumps was yellow and of questionable potability. We ended up buying bottled water instead.

The creek was great. Lots of shade. Water pump available to rinse feet or shoes off or to wash dishes. I don't think it's drinkable. Hiking trail.

Beautiful campground, but toilets had no TP, were very filthy, and some had broken door locks. Dumpster was overflowing. Very disappointing. We visited on 8/1/2021.

Beautiful campground close to the Highway and Idaho City. Up a steep hill, so you couldn’t hear the highway. Great place
