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.

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.
