Practically empty due to encroaching forest fire and very smoky, BUT the host was very helpful and pleasant. Been there many times and always enjoyable.

A lovely campground. The camp host was fantastic. Nice location. The double sites are a little tight (width wise) but workable.

The campground was perfect and well maintained. The campground is close to Stanley and provides easy access to the recreation opportunities afforded through the Sawtooths. Our campground host, "Frog," was the best we've had.

Great campground! While booked solid the spots are spacious enough you don’t feel like you’re on top of each other. The camp host, Frog, is wonderful and ensures everyone is safe and having a good time. The campsite came with a fire pit, gate, table and bench. And a perfect site to pitch our tent. We can’t wait to come back!
