Beautiful campground. Stayed twice in two weeks! Once in one of the lower loops and again in the upper loop, which is totally different. Still would like to go back and try a couple other sites. There are lookout points that are amazing, especially for night photography. We took some great pics of the Milky Way and also the Neowise comet. The camp hosts here are so helpful and the restrooms are clean. And it's less than an hour from Pocatello. We loved it!

we had never been in this area before, but we loved it.. the sites were very nice, and other than saturday night talking it was generally very, very quiet and calm. Saturday night it seemed like a couple of the camps had come together and were calling across the space to each other having conversations. after 10 it went queit.. pretty amazing.. we are planning on a return trip to this site.
