Loved this spot! I’ve been driving all around from Austin, up the west coast to Seattle and back down through the Rockies/etc and this was one of my top campgrounds in general. It was pretty peaceful. It did get COLD (I stayed mid-October) but it was a beautiful lil place and glad I decided to go.

Edit: Update! Came back to same camp spot a year later and the ground has been tore up to a soft mess and someone tore up the trees. Such a shame when people disrespect the land for absolutely no reason.

Free. Pack in, pack out!! Keep it clean and behave here, this is a blessing. Small campground with 3 spots at the front and 6-8 spots in the back. Fire rings, nice size spaces, picnic tables, vault toilet, shade trees. Variety of birds, butterflies, snakes, rodents, mammals, etc. Stayed 8 days and thoroughly enjoyed my time. Pilot close by for gas, snacks, etc. Family Dollar further in town. Had verizon 3 bars of service. Peaceful place. Great for dirt bike riding the hills!

Clean, spots kinda close together. Spotty cell service with Verizon. We stayed 1 night, it was peaceful, noone bothered us except the hummingbird that kept trying to fly into our van. I tried to get a picture but was too slow.

Beautiful free campsite! We stopped here on our drive between Grand Teton/Yellowstone National Parks and Salt Lake City. Arrive by mid-afternoon to get a spot. If all the main RV/tent sites are taken, try driving down the dirt road for additional tent sites. We stayed one night in each area of the campground in a campervan. Both had picnic tables, fire pits, and access to restrooms.

A wonderful place to camp! Beautiful scenery, secluded tent sites, clean bathrooms, and only 20 minutes away from Lava Hot Springs. There's no water and trash so you'll have to pack that in. Limited cell service. T-Mobile has service but sprint doesn't.
