We loved this campsite. The river is a little fast here, but older kids and adults will have fun down the hill from campsite 6. The hot springs is a short 8-10 minute walk away and makes for an amazing early morning activity (gets a little busy after that). I wouldn't recommend campsites 5-7 for RV as you'll feel like you're camping in a parking lot. Those sites don't have separate driveways, it's more of a cul-de-sac. Tent campers can pitch their tents on the ground next to the pavement. It's just kinda....different. The rest of the campground is pretty standard for other Boise National Forest campgrounds. Definitely recommend!

Five stars for our camp host Tall Paul, zero stars for recreation.gov on this one. Booked a Thursday night and then Friday and Saturday specifically said , First Come First Serve. Actually all the weekends for this site said that through summer. Some sites did say reserved when booking on Thursday so I could not choose those ones.
We check in and get settled to our spot, we are right next to another family and they must have got there just before us and they were getting set up. Flash forward to 10:30 (we were in an rv with our lights still on) and our host came by and wanted to know if were were checkin out next day or staying with a group who was coming in the morning in our spot and our neighbors spot. We said no and explained what rec.gov website said. Unfortunately he thought that’s what we were going to say because another camper that day said the same thing.
In the morning we met our neighbors and told the wife about our experience and she said THE SAME THING. Only bad part was her husband left for the day early because he had to go to work so she and her kids were stuck there with the trailer.
We ended up moving them to the only spot open for the weekend and we had to go find somewhere else on memorial weekend. Yup it was lame and sold out everywhere.
Grand total of 4 campsites (that I talked to) had this happen during our trip and had to leave same as us. I don’t know what happened and why people were allowed to book and why the weekend did not say reserved but we brought our 3 children and my mom drove separately, total disappointment for first weekend of summer break.

The camp host was incredible! He was out and about each day of our stay. He checked in with us and other guests each day. The vault restroom was the cleanest I've ever used! Very pleased and we will be back!

Our camp host was amazing! He was helpful and cheerful. The hot springs was lovely, even if the hike down was more strenuous than expected.
