Campsites 001 and 002 border the highway are very noisy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not sure why I paid $40/ nite for double site #4 , when the entry sign at the campground said $30/ nite.

Every campground we visited on the way to Stanley also posted a $30/nite fee as well.

Other than that , nice campground.
