Nice little spot for a quick overnight stay. The park had no water in the pipes and no notice at the fee payment area either. The restrooms were clean and the sites were relatively level with both drive through and pull-in accommodations. There is a dump station with flushing capabilities if the water is on. There’s a little highway noise but not enough to be distracting. There’s sufficient tra... Nice little spot for a quick overnight stay. The park had no water in the pipes and no notice at the fee payment area either. The restrooms were clean and the sites were relatively level with both drive through and pull-in accommodations. There is a dump station with flushing capabilities if the water is on. There’s a little highway noise but not enough to be distracting. There’s sufficient trash receptacles, nice grounds, close to the river and large enough spots for a 40’ Class A with a toad. The only reason the 5th star is missing is the water. If the groundskeepers can just leave a note so folks can adjust or decide if full price is still worth it knowing they’ll have to haul water from town. Finding out after the payment has been made is kind of a bummer….

RV and tent sites set in Beautiful surroundings by the Salmon river. Water and very clean restrooms, no power hook-ups. Site has convenient waste dump on the way out. Ample parking for those who just want to visit the park to enjoy swimming and fishing.

Excellent winter campspot. Far enough from the road for privacy, but easy access. The river and trees are beautiful. Nice firepits, plenty of room.

Absolutely the best camp ground in central Idaho. Camp sites are level, on the river and shaded. You could fish the river while sitting by your campfire, or watch the deer eating across the river, Blue Herons fishing the on river. Has water hookups but no power.
