The days we were there were great. The day before we were to leave there was a landslide. The landslide blocked the road and trapped ours and 30 other RVs. Getting our RV back has been problematic. It has been 10+ days and our RV is still trapped.

My family gets together at Ohara once a year so we obviously like the campground and area. This is not a camp site with a lot of amenities. Many of the sites are to short for bigger rv's/trailers. There isn't any overflow parking for extra vehicles or trailers. It has a paved camping area, lots of shade, and USFS toilets. Water from can be had from various spigots in the camp area. Nothing you can hook up too. There is no wifi or phone service. These are the reasons our family likes to camp there. Along with easy access to the Selway River and narrow mountain dirt roads.
