Great little campground with a cool hiking trail right off the campground. Some spots are a little too close to others but you can have decent privacy with quite of few spots.

Excellent campground. Definitely out of the way & an excellent escape from the Treasure Valley madness. Its probably not for the campers rocking a family sedan. The photos were taken coming back from an attempt to get to the fire lookout ... and then the lookout itself.

I would like say the camp host Duane and his dog Max was the best. Duane is very personal and very attentive to the needs of his camping guests. He kept the camp ground clean and in order. We enjoyed visiting with him while we was there. Duane went above and beyond by picking us up coffee and creamer when he went into town on his own time. Hope to see Duane and Max again.

Love being wrapped up in dense forest in the campground. Significantly cooler than the valley and only 2 hours from Middleton. The road up here is somewhat washboarded from all of the trailers but it's another little hidden gem of our state. I try to get up here at least once every couple years with our scout unit.
