This CG has a mix of more open spaces near the river & a bit more private spaces (not near the river). It's very clean. We took spot 5 (best spot in the whole CG). It's private and very near the river. The road sounds are not near so loud. The only complaint is that the road in is FULL of potholes. For a "paved" road, it's pretty bad.

Nice super quiet campground, we were there beginning July and we arrived at 6pm and were the first ones to arrive. FF worked fine here. Toilets were clean, but no running water there. Price is 26$. It‘s nice with the small river close to it

The campground was nice except our spot had been taken by a tent camper and my husband had to ask him to leave. Then, when we got back from driving the car to see a lake, a woman (maybe a forest ranger, as there was no camp host) insisted we pay an extra vehicle fee for the car. This is not right. Everywhere we go, the RV is considered our recreational vehicle and our car is included in the cost....

We explained that we had pulled it in, unhitched it to back the RV into the spot, and went for a drive, but she insisted. 🤨

Had a very peaceful two nights here. Very close to the road, but no traffic at night. My site felt pleasantly tucked away and the layout was good for tent camping. Saw an older guy pull a couple fish from the river.

We had a good overnight here - our site (#1)(and many others) were way long with plenty of room. Each site has a covered picnic area and a fire pit with grill top. Water was about 1/2 mile from us, through sand, rock, brush, flies, and mosquitoes. Huge dumpsters and there were pit toilets. Water was off when we were there (Sept 2025) due to visitor center construction. Don’t plan on any shade from...

Water was off when we were there (Sept 2025) due to visitor center construction. Don’t plan on any shade from trees, as there is none, which was great for our solar. Very nice campground for the price! BTW, campground fee covers entrance/causeway fee. Dump station looks newer and was easy in and out.

It’s a nice campground that is scenic. I just wish the water was running when we got there. No showers or no flushing toilets were available. We had electrical which was good and paid less since the water was shut off. Apparently they are building a new water facility. Overall it’s a nice camping area and will definitely see a lot of bisons around the campground. I will definitely come back again... It’s a nice campground that is scenic.

Loved this campground. Large spacious sites, all with beautiful views and access to trails and wildlife. We traveled in September and weather was warm. The smell that others report was there, but not strong. We did not get bothered by bugs until evening...and then the mosquitoes were aggressive. Hubby said they stabbed you as soon as they landed too, so there was not a chance to shoo them before... Loved this campground.

We did not get bothered by bugs until evening...and then the mosquitoes were aggressive. Hubby said they stabbed you as soon as they landed too, so there was not a chance to shoo them before the bite. The lake access was blocked by the black flies. They would literally cloud up when you'd tried to cross them. We had Bison, Antelope and Coyotes right by our site. Very unique experience that we absolutely loved.

Brisger Bay Campground offers a wide range of camping amenities with campsites available for both tent or RV scapes, with available power and water hookups. There are both vault and flush toilets on both sections, and showers at the flush toilet sites. The campground elevation provides amazing views of Bridger Bay and Fremont Island to the north.

Beautiful location! Super quiet, and the buffalo and elk come right through the campsite! The spots are fully open (no trees), but also a good distance apart. Bathrooms are new, very clean with good showers. The lake is a beautiful view, and has epic sunsets! Depending on the time of year, keep an eye out in the bushes along the drive to the lake: the spider season is really fascinating, and they... Beautiful location!

Depending on the time of year, keep an eye out in the bushes along the drive to the lake: the spider season is really fascinating, and they even have a festival for it! Didnt see a single one near our site though
