Nice over night camping area. Love that it is free and first come first serve No trees so shade is what you make of it. The proximity of the train track can leave you awake in the middle of the night. Access to fishing is great even if the river access is difficult

This is a clean free campground along the Portneuf River and just 10 minutes from downtown Lava Hot Springs. The campground is surrounded by mountains in every direction, very beautiful setting. We stayed in a 24 ft trailer. Room for tow vehicle and TT. Most sites have mostly level gravel parking and fire-pits. Three of the ~9 sites have a picnic table.

The campground is surrounded by mountains in every direction, very beautiful setting. We stayed in a 24 ft trailer. Room for tow vehicle and TT. Most sites have mostly level gravel parking and fire-pits. Three of the ~9 sites have a picnic table. There is one vault toilet in the day use parking area and three picnic tables with cover along the river. Mosquitos in the evening as expected by a river, grasshoppers during the day. Yes, the train tracks border the campground. The noise from the trains is not excessive and did not interfere with my sleep, road noise is minimal.

Looks like it used to have more spread out locations. Now there are about 7 spots that are all back in or tent camping. There's a vault toilet and a shelter in the day use area. Trains were not too bad however they did block us from leaving in the morning for about a half hour while another train passed.

This camping area is free it's a 10 minute drive from Lava Hot Springs , there are about 10 spots that fill up quick there is a vault toilet and a day use area with no tables just extra parking. The area is very buggy when we were there over Father's day weekend there were millions of tiny knats in the evening.

The area is very buggy when we were there over Father's day weekend there were millions of tiny knats in the evening. The Portneuf River is deep in most areas and is great for fishing and you can see people floating the river. The down fall of this convenient campground is that there is a busy railroad close by and trains go by at least every hour, 24 hrs.a day .
