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.

The camp grounds are poorly taken care of and the price is to high considering there is no water

We always enjoy this place. For most of our stay it wasn't very busy and therefore quiet.

This campground is a destination for our annual family outing and has been for years. It is a primitive camp spot for sure. Having the water system fixed would be nice as would a camp host. If the campgrounds needed one thing that wouldn't cost them any money it would be overflow parking, Many of the sites aren't big enough if you have trailers, extra cars/trucks, etc. The day use area directly across the river from the bridge should have a section designated as over flow parking on the East side. Another thing to be aware of are the amount of trail and road closures in the area. Off road recreation is limited due to the blow-down caused by the hurricane force winds last winter. The first bridge over O'hara creek is being replaced and that road is closed until late Sept. The only road open to allow access to this side of the mountain range is from the Swiftwater road. The last mile or more of road to Idaho Point was closed due to blow-down.

It’s disappointing that they haven’t fixed the water situation. It was surprising to see the bridge construction going on. We missed 4 wheeling up Ohara Creek but we still had good family time.

Still no water or camp host, which is fine because the hosts that have been there are not much help.

I love this campground!! It is in the most beautiful setting. I was there for two weeks. I got to experience weekdays and weekends. I did not enjoy the weekend days. There are ALOT of people who do not follow the dogs on leash rule. I was a prisoner to my campsite because if I walked my dogs around we would be approach by other dogs coming out of their campsite because they were not tied up. Those folks made my experience miserable and I had to drive to another location just to walk my dogs. Other then that I loved my stay.

We had a nice quiet camping trip. There was a few Geese with goslings and friendly squirrels. Selway Falls was in full flow and beautiful.
