This campground sits right on the banks of the Madison River. The are a couple of water faucets available but no other services. This campground is located at about the mid point if you decide to float the river. The sites are clean and #6 easily accommodated our 42’ fifth wheel and dually pickup. We will definitely visit again

Wonderful quiet and peaceful place, away from the hustle and bustle, alongside a free-flowing river. If you have visited this area, you must go. I'll be back.
