Everything was as listed. The reservation was correct. The campground was very clean and well maintained. The hosts were hard working and kept everything spotless. The only thing I wish is that they had full hookups.

We have camped at many Idaho state parks over the last 5 years, and the ones at Island Park are by far our favorites. Very well managed and clean with very professional hosts ( always friendly but not intrusive).

One of the best camp stays I’ve ever experienced. The campsite is a great location and it’s the by far the cleanest most well kept campground ive been to. The camp hosts were all so kind and made the experience something to remember. If you get the chance, stay here.

We enjoyed riding the trails around the area and fishing and floating the river. We love the area even thought it rained four days straight.
