Excellent location on the Selway river. Quiet, peaceful setting. Clean vault toilets. Lack of resident host may affect operation of site longterm. Will return.

We love this campground and have been coming to it once a year for the last 30 years. This year a lot of trees were cut down and lots of slash piles were left around the campground. No camp host and the site we were in the fire pit was a mess. Water was turned off for the first couple of days and then on but with restrictions to filter or boil before using . So , be sure to check if the H2O is ok to drink or better yet take your own drinking water. With this being said, this campground is still beautiful and we look forward to our next visit.

This is a beautiful campground with a great, calm, accessible river to play in. DO take your paperwork. Someone was in our spot because the reservation tag was incorrectly marked. Thankfully, we were able to leave a note on the ranger's car at the ranger station and she took care of it. We did have to show our paperwork and wait for the other campers to vacate. The outhouses have been refurbished. There is a generator that runs every other day for several hours. It is annoying, but wasn't a deal breaker for us. The good outweighs the bad! Lots of blackberries and plums in the area.

Campground has lots of shade and has easy access to the river. Many opportunities for berry picking, fishing, playing in the water.
Drinking water is available at several places in the CG. The ranger station 2 miles down the road has water and a dump station (thank you!).
