I attended a knitting weekend and we were at the group site. It is great for tents but the parking area is small for trailers so I paid for a separate site a bit down the road for my trailer. As always, Scout Mountain is a beautiful and peaceful spot for camping. The host was friendly and helpful.

27 foot trailer is pushing the limits of most camp sites, but we have always found a camping spot. We come in the middle of the week and get our pick of places. People are quiet and responsible, with the camp hosts always helpful and actively present to keep an eye on things.
Many good memories of Scout Mountain over the last 10 years.
Reservations are a good idea on popular weekends or if you don't live nearby.

Beautiful location under Scout Mountain. Amazing sunset illuminated the mountain. I just had some bad luck in the spot I picked. I was between the camp host who was running a generator until 11pm and some college kids that were partying until midnight. Not the quiet I was looking for.

Beautiful area, nice sites; however, it is a campground used by locals to party. And I mean party, up till 3 AM drinking yelling and acting like animals. And the camp host does NOTHING. My thoughts are the camp host is local, lives in Chubbuck (just north of Pocatello) and since this campground is used by the locals to drink and party, they might know each other.
I would recommend staying away from it if you want a nice relaxing night or two. If not and you want to party, great place to get drunk.
I'll never be back.
