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.

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.

Unfortunately there was no campground host as there has been previously so routine maintenance of the facility was somewhat neglected. The water system has been down now for going on two years and there doesn't seem to be much effort on the part of the Forest Service to address this...the same is true of the dump station at the Fenn Ranger Station. Not sure what's going on but it shouldn't be a funding issues as the Reinvent America act recently passed included lots of money for the Forest Service to address and remedy issues like this.. It's still a beautiful campground in a nice location. I hope there's a turn around in there near future

I have camped at Ohara Campground for 52 years. This is probably the worst I have ever seen this campground in. Garbage receptacles not emptied and overflowing to the point of being strewn all over the area. No water available at the campground and obviously no mention of that when the reservations were made. I was told by park rangers that this has been an issue for two years now. I did have reservations for this same campground in 2022, but because of a massive rockslide, was unable to camp last year and my reservation $$'s were returned. We have gone as a family outing as I said for 52 years. We returned this year as a family to honor my husband and childrens father as he passed just 4 years ago. If he were still alive he would have been very disappointed as we were. No camp host, seemes no one cares!!!!!!!
