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.

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.

Stayed 2 days at Mountain View, camp host was excellent. Found us a place for our extra truck and trailer near our camp. Would also do regular laps through the campground which made us feel good since had rafting gear and what not in our camp while running the local rivers. It is ideal for a rafting or kayak trip.
