Fantastic campground, largely due to the camp host, Kevin. He was kind and answered our questions and was always available if we needed anything. We really didn't' need much, but it was good to know he was willing to help if necessary.

It’s a fun place, a few issues with traffic inside the campground and cattle roaming around in August in the campground wasn’t very pleasant.
Campground hosts were nice and we’re doing there best to keep order

The Campground was clean and well maintained. The campground Hosts (Alan & Heather) were the friendliest people you can imagine and so very helpful! They even loaned us a tent when it turned out that we had forgotten our tentpoles! We had a great time and intend to visit again soon.

Easy check in and well maintained park. Don’t typically use bath facilities so I cannot speak to that.

We had the spots H1 & H2 (equestrian spots) and they were perfect for us! These spots are on the very north side of the campground and we appreciate feeling a little more secluded. We had both a tent and snd RV trailer and the accommodations; picnic table, coal grill, fire pit with grilling grate, and the parking/tent pad were great! There could be a closer bathroom for tent campers but we enjoyed the walks around to the bathrooms.

Nice quiet location that met our needs. Good value and kept clean by staff. No hassles. Pretty hike on nature trail to the spring, very relaxing.

We had reserved the 2 H sites on the website. When we got there, someone was in one of our spots. He said there was no reserved notice on the spot, and the camp host took his money and gave him the spot. Luckily the remaining spot was big enough for our group. We have a 43' 5th wheel and the H spot was big enough. The other spots in the rest of the campground would not have been big enough. All in all it was a beautiful place. Bring bug spray and Benedryl.

Just east of Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, look for "Pebble Area" sign and turn left onto Blaser Highway/Old Highway 30. Go north on the paved highway 9 mi to Pebble Creek Road, known locally as Mike's Place or Whiskey Mike's. Turn left across railroad tracks on gravel Forest Road 036. Travel about 7 mi to the campground.
Pebble Creek Road is a narrow single-lane dirt road with limited sight distance and not suitable for the very large RVs (the tour bus size RVs that require overhead clearance due to their height and have limited turning capacity due to length, as opposed to a truck with trailer of the same length which has a tighter turning radius due to the hitch).
Highway access
The campground is accessible via Blaser Highway/Old Highway 30, which is a paved highway connecting to nearby roads. The nearest major highway is US Highway 30, approximately 9 miles from the campground.
