Campsite was great. Camp host would not even come out of his camper to talk with visitors who had questions. Spoke to us through his window and was very unfriendly and unhelpful.

Really great. Keep in mind it’s close to the highway so a fair amount of traffic in and out of the campsite. But amazing. Close to the restaurant. Close to the springs and hiking. Great cell phone reception.

Mountain-view is my favorite place to camp. This trip, we shared a companion site with our friends and there was plenty of room. The upgrades they made to the campground a couple of years ago, are awesome. Nice, flat areas for tents and new fire rings. The sound of the rushing river make for the best naps ever.

Fantastic scenery at campground. Great views and access to the Payette River. Great hot springs nearby. Bring your own firewood! Campfires are allowed but there is NO firewood available at campground or nearby.

Campsites 001 and 002 border the highway are very noisy.

This specific campsite was too close to the road and there was a lot of traffic noise throughout the day. The bathroom was clean. There was a camp host’s campsite set up, however, there was no sign of the camp host during my visit.

Beautiful campground - this was not our first time there. Normally, I would have given it a 5-star rating but not this trip. We came in on a Monday and left on Friday. We didn’t see the camp host on site until Friday. The two toilet vaults we had access to ran out of toilet paper on Wednesday so we had to bring our own. My wife took our broom over to sweep out the toilet mid-week; the trash was never emptied while we were there. On Thursday morning, while we were out on a walk, we saw a box of TP under the camp host’s trailer so we decided to restock two of the bathrooms. Other than that, it’s a great campground.
