What Guests Are Saying

O'Hara campground offers a beautiful and peaceful setting, enhanced by cedar trees and proximity to hiking trails and the Selway River. While there is no potable water on-site, visitors appreciate the clean environment and scenic views, with many returning for family outings. Some concerns were raised about facilities, including the need for a camp host and improvements to the water situation and bridge access, but overall, guests enjoyed their experiences.

Beautiful place. Quiet. Our spot (14) was elevated so the water access had a steep bank. Shady. Plenty big spots, fairly level. Excellent experience. Would do again. Bridge over Selway is an experience.

This is the second year that the water system has not functioned. Also, there was some site maintenance that had not been done as per previous years, specifically mowing tall grasses for tents in site 27.

O'hara is always a good early season campsite, but when will the water be maintained and turned on?

Very nice campground. Well maintained spots with brush trimmed back, unlike Wilderness Gateway that is so overgrown and the picnic tables are in such bad shape we couldn’t use ours.
