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.

There was no water available at the camp ground. Upon arrival the garbage dumpster was overflowing and wasn’t picked up until Thur so almost a full week of garbage smell and potential for animals in the campground. The site has garbage in it and I picked up the trash left behind by others. Very sad that this lovely campground hasn’t seen improvements except for new bathrooms in the 8 years I have been coming.

Great place to camp if you like dry camping. Quiet and clean. We visit, at least, once a year.

We utilize the O'hara campground with our family at least once per year. It was enjoyable and pleasantly quiet. There were only two items I would like to see improved. It appeared that last year at the same time the USFS had received the timbers necessary to repair the bridge. It still isn't repaired. Some of the timbers are sticking up to far. Last year there was someone's trailer disconnect brake cable stuck to the front of one of the boards. It's worse this year. It would have also been nice to have the water system working.

The camp Host, Donna, was extremely friendly and helpful. I loved the hikes near by and the waterfalls upriver were gorgeous.

Ohara was our favorite stop on our 16-day trip through the area. There is so much to do, so much to see. So much hiking, and biking. We'll be back to Raft. The campsite was amazing, clean and beautiful.
