Many visitors appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and scenic views, along with nearby hiking options. However, there were concerns about the camp host's lack of attentiveness to facilities, particularly regarding cleanliness and supplies, as well as noise from nearby traffic.

Wonderful campground when you can get a reservation. Natives should get preference before out of state.

We were not advised of any road closures from garden valley to lowman. We waited 3 1/2 hours on the road. Then another hour to get there. You guys should refund us back as we missed the first day. Got there late Wednesday night to set up camp

We have been camping at Mountain View for 20+ years and love its location by the river. The campsites are generous and well maintained.

We had campsite 10 and it was awesome! Right on the river, enough space to not feel crowded and right next to the bathrooms. We would stay again!

We always have a wonderful time here. Been coming here for 35 years. Something is wrong with the camp host the past two years. Never see him. Never refills the toilet paper, good thing we know where it is and filled up the campground for the people there. Never cleans the bathrooms. Yall should find a better host.
