Campground is immaculate! Not even a spec of trash anywhere. Campsites are wonderful, paved spots in the reserved section, concrete tables and pads around the fire pits. Level and small fill in the tent spots. Bathrooms are spotless. Good shade in most spots and descent spacing between campsites 👍. Nice and cool in the summer heat. Henry’s Fork river nearby

Outstanding Hosts- Excellent Campground. Pleasant, conversational and kept the park in amazing condition. The bathrooms are the cleanest vault toilets in all of creation. Water near most sites. Well spaced. Wonderful place to call home for 4 days and nights. Highly recommended - I will camp here again.

Nice campground for RVs and Tents. Just off a flowing river, perfect for fly fishing or a cold soak. Brrr.

Amazing camp hosts, but something I have to say and can’t stop thinking about is how well maintained this facility is. I have NEVER been to a campground with cleaner outhouses. Like… you’re lucky to have any public restroom be half as clean and stocked as these were. Lots of different style camp lots, pet friendly, inexpensive, little to no cell service (which is appreciated by me) and right off t...
