Most Excellent staff. I had some personal issues and asked for assistance from the Host and other team members. They went up and above to ensure that my father and I were taking care of. This was his 88th Birthday gift, to camp again in Island Park. These folks were exceptional! Thank you.

Nice campground on Buffalo River. Loop A and B were too close to main highway and thus loud during heavy traffic times. We had an electric and water site on loop B that were very clean when we arrived. Sites were very large and we didn't feel like we were on top of the site next to us. Bathrooms were pit toilets but frankly were the cleanest I have ever seen. Not even a fly in them and Host put down carpet mats to make it even nicer. The host was fantastic and tried to accommodate some last-minute changes we had. The river was nice AND close to the sites. We floated the slow-moving river a couple of times (500 yards) and it was quite refreshing. Had a few mountain bike rides to the dam across the highway and the Silverhawk housing area. Spot was close to Macks Inn where we took the epic 5-mile float down the snake river. Very slow moving and smooth. Highly recommended for a great 2 1/2-hour tour. Overall, the site was a 5-star rating but I gave it a 4 only because of the road noise ( the site could not be blamed for that but be aware if you camp there)

This is a very busy place with people enjoying the river. Glad for the quiet hours and bear boxes.
