The campground is in a beautiful setting along the Salmon River. It is modest sized so generally quiet. There is some nearby road noise. We enjoyed our stay here and would return.

Love this campground. The spaces were spread out for some privacy and it was clean! Friendly and helpful host. It was also nice to have the patio area to keep the rig clean Can’t comment on the inside of the bathrooms as we didn’t use them. But occasionally the wind carried an odor-but this was after the holiday weekend and they were getting pumped out right after

This is our new favorite camp ground for visiting Redfish Lake and the Lodge. It's separate and more quiet. The tent pad was in great condition and our site was right near the bathroom, but still never heard any noise from others using it. The table and fire ring were great and the camp host was very friendly. I would recommend to everyone!

We absolutely loved this campground! It was our first time to Idaho and we will verve back. The host, Cara, was the best camp host we have ever had. She was so kind, helpful, cheery, and you can tell she truly loves her job! We highly recommend this campground. We were in site #28 and it has a great view of the sawtooth mountains!
