Campsite 16 had excellent access to the water and great afternoon shade. This time of year it wasn’t too buggy. The boat dock area was very busy during the day, but the early am and later pm made for some peaceful water time.

The McCrea Bridge camp area is exceptionally clean and comfortable. The site had a designated large, level tent area along with plenty of space for a camper and vehicle. Each site has a large picnic table, plus two small metal work tables and a bear box to allow for easy and safe outdoor cooking. Some sites are closer to the road with some traffic noise, but not too busy at night. The camp hosts were very friendly and well informed us of the area rules related to bear safety. This site is convenient to the local reservoir and 45 minutes from West Yellowstone and the national park. It was a great 'home base' for adventures into the national park and hiking in Idaho.

Spacious sites that are not crowded. The sites are level and outlined with treated 4x4s. There are two steel stands for either a portable grill or to cook with a dutch oven on. There are three restrooms that are always kept spotless. The USFS and the campground contractor have been successful in keeping ATVs and motorcycles out of the CG so it is nice and quiet. The CG lies next to the tail end of the reservoir that provides opportunities to fish and boat. Late in the irrigation season the lake drops so that the river next to the CG retreats to its original banks. Plenty of trees provide both shade and shelter from the wind. Occasionally a moose or deer will wander through camp. There are about six first come sites on the A loop that are rarely full. This is one of our fav campgrounds.
