It's on the North Fork of the Clearwater River so of course beautiful. We went here July 2023. Campground is small and all spots were taken. Difficult to turn around in RV because dead ends. Water was not potable = maybe bad well? We ended up Camping in free Isabella loop to the west of Aquarius instead. The Isabella loop was dusty but close to the absolutely beautiful Isabella hiking trail. Se... It's on the North Fork of the Clearwater River so of course beautiful. We went here July 2023.

I give it 5. Why.... because its not a hotel, its not developed, its closest to wilderness without hiking 5 miles into back country. Clean water. Clear water (no really its crystal clear in summer and fall, and no ounce intended cause its the north fork of the clear water) expect to actually camp if your not in a rv or trailer. Truck bed camping is always a alternative to tents ;)
