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.

What a beautiful campground! The sites have trees/brush between so that each site feels private. And it's so close to Pocatello! We had a large family gathering and the triple site provided enough space for everyone to visit. We are planning to return next year!

Camp hosts were amazing! Campground is well maintained and clean. Love that this little gem is only 30 minutes from Pocatello.

The campground was a triple site #19. We all loved it. We had a moose pass through just outside the campsite. There was plenty of room for everyone to park and we had three large picnic tables and lots of shade. The bathrooms were close are very well kept. In fact, I'd say they were the cleanest of any campground I have visited in several years. The campground hosts were kind and helpful. The only issue I had was the reservation did not say what loop the campsite was in. I found it easy enough, but it would have been more helpful to state the loop in the confirmation email.

I was unclear on the reservation. I thought I had reserved for two nights so we didn't have to rush to pack up and leave. I was mistaken. So check carefully do make sure you are clear on your reservation. Other than that we had a lot of fun and it was beautiful there.

Camp Hosts CheriRae and Jonathan were extremely welcoming, helpful, and accommodating. Our only issues were the relentless biting horseflies (just part of camping) and a generator that ran constantly during two days of our stay (an unfortunate disruption of the camping experience). Otherwise, this is a beautiful location with generous campsites, clean and well-maintained outhouses, and many trails to explore.
