Crackfoot was an excellent campground. It was quiet, and you didn't feet crowded, at all. We enjoyed the walking path as well. I was serene and beautiful. September was a great time of year. The weather was excellent!

We had booked the best spot, not too shady, we had some sun. We saw deer walking around and also cows, that was very nice. The vault toilet was clean.
The only "negative" was that when we got to our spot, there was a large truck parked, belonging to a fisherman. We had to go and find out who the truck belonged to before we could park our RV. Fortunately it didn't take too long, but it could have.
So I guess they should not allow non campers on the campground.
The surrounding area is amazingly beautiful!!

Great trails to hide on with your horses. Some are rocky but not for to long. Bring some buckets because you have to carry your water for the horses about 50-75 ft. Also the equestrian camp ground fills up fast with non-equestrian campers fast so book early. I wish there was a way for the Forest Service could better enforce the "must have horses" rule.

Loved the campsites and cleanliness of the camp. Only negative we had was an interaction with an older couple. We like the campground for its family friendliness. We had our son and daughter in law and their daughter and three foster children. The kids were really very good but maybe a little loud with their running and playing. They really need this outside experience. The older couple scolded them for their running and fun. The kids learned something about how to behave in public and settled down an little. I am still a little concerned about the manner of the reprimand more than the reprimand. We will be back. Grateful for our wilderness spaces although I am sure it is a little hard on the environment.
