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.

This is a wonderful campground. We have enjoyed it for the last five years. It would be nice if they got the water system up and running agaiin. Also the bridge needs some new planks. The campground hostess's this year were great!

We were there for literally 24 hours and had to evacuate from a fire. No problem. The problem, the camp host!!! Joy was great but her partner Freida did not present herself upon first meeting at all very nicely and was just a very aggressive and not welcoming at all. She even counterdicted what the rules were on the sign by saying quiet time is 8:00pm to 8:00am so not to use generators at all during that time. Sign said 10pm to 6am!!!! Then we tried 2 times to ask questions and what not and both times there was nobody at all at the camp host site and when I mentioned I tried to come ask questions she got very aggressive and said " we were there and haven't left". Hmm weird that a rig pulled in later and then she was there! Just not impressed with the host, however the site is enjoyable and gorgeous the short time we were there! We will go again as long as there is a different camp host!

The facilities were okay. Lack of water wasn't a big issue - we had to haul it from the ranger station, about 1 mile distant, instead of from a hydrant hundred of feet away. In either case this was a short distance drive.
