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

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.

Beautiful large sites with views of the stunning Sawtooth Mountains and the sound of the river. The vault toilets were the cleanest ever. The camp host was very accomodating. We have stayed 3 times and never been disappointed.
