This is a really pretty wooded campground with several campsites very private. We stayed here on our way home to TX. The nights cool off nicely being in higher elevation. The road to get here is a paved one but curvy. We had no issues with our 21 foot trailer. The only negative we experienced was the generator noise from the host until quiet hours.

Upon arrival, our campsite was occupied. Apparently, a new company was managing the campground and the camp host did not have any information on what was reserved. Fortunately, we found an empty campsite.
Plus, the water was not yet turned on. We ended up buying 18 one-gallon bottles of water in Pocatello and hauling them to our trailer.
Not very many campsites can be reserved. Some used to be a previous picnic area converted to campsites and aren't very big.
Our site was #24, nonreservable. 25, next to us can be reserved. Very inconsistent.
Restrooms did not smell bad. It appeared the camp host couldn't secure the toilet paper rolls.
I'm giving 2 stars until they can come up with something better. We loved our stay, but management was not prepared.
Hint: bring a hummingbird feeder. It was fun watching them dart in and around our site.
