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.

I got an email confirming my reservation two days prior. Then headed out but upon arrival the road was closed due to a rock slide and had been closed for a while. I was never informed of the fact. The Rec.gov support team was helpful and timely, but it took a couple weeks for my requested refund to be issued by the Facility Manager. But I did get my camping fees refunded. Better communication from the Facility Manager and more timely notifications from either the Facility Manager and/or Rec.gov cru would have saved me a trip and the disappointment.
