Nice small camground only about 5 sites. We were the only ones there, so our dogs loved having the whole place to themselves. We only stayed 1 night. There is a nice hike just over the bridge. Camp sites are all on the creek. Went the end of August and didn't have a problem with mosquitos. Has restrooms and garbage cans.

We stayed at this campground over July 4th weekend 2019..Very beautiful spot... We got excellent spring water flowing into the creek just below campground #4.(ran it through our Brita).. the trail is steep from the creek back up to the campground . Bring plenty of bug spray mosquitoes were bad. weather was perfect the 3 days we were there... we got the impression that not too many people stay...

Probably the only downside of this campground are the bugs.

Small campground, just used it for an over night stay. Cheap price ($8) as it should be. Looks like a good place to fish the nearby creek, it is still in Idaho. Got there late at night and left early so not too much to say. It does have vaulted toilets. I was a little surprised how few sites were remainingy, but we managed to find a few spots left open. Beautiful in the September with all the... Small campground, just used it for an over night stay. Cheap price ($8) as it should be.

It’s fine for a quick overnight, but not a destination for multiple nights. There were only 2 sites occupied…I cannot imagine it would ever be filled.

Gorgeous little Campground...kind out in the middle of no where. Tent or small trailers probably best.
