A neighboring camp site was allowed to build and maintain a smoky fire for several hours. Others had fires which were not offensive. Smoke filled our camper and made my grandson cough and have a rough night.

This was the perfect place for our [big] family reunion!! It was a nice escape from the world, but close enough to the Pocatello metro area in case we needed extra supplies. We will definitely be going back here in the future!!
