Good campground. In late July there were many many Mormon crickets and not good for SXS except a ride to 3 Forks Hot Springs.

Beautiful BLM campground on the North Fork. Plenty of shady sites for a tent and good RV spots as well. This would be a good spot to set up a basecamp to explore the area from. Pit toilets.

Family-friendly and ♿️ handicap accessibility. If you decide to head over to Three Forks Hotsprings, make sure you are in a good four-wheeler or side by side. Otherwise, this is a great spot with cars and motor homes.
Dog friendly, with a few camp sites with grills. 7 day use limit and no firearms to be discharged. They ask you to use the grill provided for fires.
There is no playground for kids, but there are trails to explore.
Great view of the surrounding high canyon walls. I saw a few side by sides and motor homes being used.

An excellent campground, well maintained, well worth the scenic drive. Many campsites have river access. Quiet area, but you might catch a show from Mountain Home; we saw and heard F-15s the entire time we were there. Off and on the locals drive through with their horse trailers. Fire pits, grills and picnic tables at many of the sites, if not all. A path leading towards the river was flooded fairly deep so there might be even more we didn't see but I imagine in summer it's dry. None of the campsites were wet despite the recent rain. Bathrooms were well stocked with toilet paper and were clean and dry. Pack out your trash and bring your own water.
