Nice campground, nice hostess. There were a lot of mosquitos. The lake is beautiful. The water from the hand pump is delicious! For RV campers you cannot hook a hose to the pump.

Nice campground with clean outhouses. The boat launch area is easy to navigate. The biggest complaint was the constant swarms of mosquitoes. That made it hard to enjoy being outside.

The camp hostess was amazing.
She went above and beyond to make our experience top notch.
The bathrooms were spotless and the campgrounds clean and inviting.
Can’t wait to visit again.

This is a beautiful place. Peaceful and quiet with many nearby attractions. Jill the camp host was one of the most friendly and hospitable hosts we've encountered in our years of Idaho camping. She made the stay that much better. Will be back.

Volunteer camp host was wonderful! We had reserved a spot to make sure we got one, but once we arrived found a FF site we preferred. She was very kind about us switching. Came around later to check on us and even offered free firewood if we ran out. Beautiful area, would definitely return!

Really nice and quiet campground! Great host, clean facilities. Lots of mosquitos, but can’t hold that against the campground. Biggest issue for us was just the set up of the site itself. No established tent pads which made it a little difficult to set up. In all, nice little site!

Camped on a weekday and it was quiet except for the free range cattle in the area. Good location to access tons of hikes in the area.

The area was beautiful. The camphost was great.We had a nice spot. The restrooms were the cleanest vault toilets I have ever seen. Even our neighboring campers were nice. What's not to love.

Great campground. However, most other campsites were having campfires despite the fire ban.
