1st time camping here and it was peaceful and quiet. No water, but vaulted toilets were clean and smelled good. Lots of grey water dump areas but no sewer dump. Unity reservoir is just a few miles away, like 10 miles or so and they have a dump area as well as a place to fill your fresh water tank.

I took the "Scenic" route from Bend, Oregon to Boise, ID. I stopped at a few campgrounds along the way simply to check them out for future us with my family. I have to say this was the cleanest and most comfortable campground I've seen. While there were only two outhouses, they were clean, well stocked with TP, and even had air fresheners hanging inside. Camping spots were well spaced with plenty... I took the "Scenic" route from Bend, Oregon to Boise, ID.

There were also faucets for portable water. I will be back with my family.

Beautiful campground. Lots of room between sites although the parking area is pretty narrow and short in some of the sites. The host was friendly and helpful and the bathrooms were spotless. Water is available in a few locations and the sites have tables and fire pits.
