A beautiful location, campground host was excellent, hiking and fishing options all over the area, enjoyed the campground and thought the sites were big.

Great stay and will return next season.

Nice campground. Would stay there again. I need to add a couple issues. The circular dirt road around the campground needs a lot of maintenance. Huge dips cause your truck and RV to bounce worse than any forest road I”ve been on. The shrubs and trees along the campground road are so overgrown and extremely narrow and scratch both sides of truck and RV.

Lovely place. Well-kept campsite. Charming campground hosts. Too bad the other campers were noisy jerks.

This camp site is on a fair significant slope/hill. It is the only camp site in the campground this way and should probably be shared prior to arrival. It is also not a full shade camp site as listed. The site is majority sun throughout the whole day.

Beautiful lakeside campground with wooded sites in the shadows of the Sawtooth. Bathrooms are clean. Would be nice to have showers, but there are ample potable water spigots. Hosts are ok.
