Nice, clean campground with active hosts. The sites are a little small but have distance between each other. They're just a little tight for larger trailers. The hot spring pool is nice. But folks, there is NO alcohol at the pool!! My wife and I went to the pool/soaker and people thought this was their personal party resort. One group ended up bringing mixed drinks. One kid cracked open 3 beers... Everyone sitting in the water, getting sloppy. It was 1:30 in the afternoon! Luckily the camp host ran them off... Guess what, they weren't even camping at the campground and so drove off inebriated. Good job people! 🤦

Large, well outfitted car campground. Abundant with RVs, kids on bikes and beautiful spots along the South Fork of the Boise River. We came here to see the concrete pool hot springs (good temp, full with families) and was pleasantly surprised by the well-thought out nature trail honoring the campground’s namesake who lived on the site (and died while trying to get back there after getting his mail in Featherville one winter). We were even more surprised by the plethora of large bull snake all around the property, almost stepping on a couple of 7-footers. If visiting Baumgartner, don’t forget to follow the road past the last campsite to a picture perfect swimming hole replete with fish and fisherman. A nice day trip if staying elsewhere along the South Fork of the Boise.

Good camping before you cross the bridge. Clean restrooms and approved firepits. Better have an RV or a good tent so you aren't sleeping in the dirt. Tables are your responsibility if you haven't reserved a spot with one. No reservations required unless it is a big party. Fishing is fun under the bridge. No fishing off the bridge, considered rude behavior by the people abiding by the rules.
