Nice, clean campground. Within walking distance of the river and just a short drive away from some hot springs. Pumping the water is a chore but the facilities were well maintained. The chipmunks will rob anything left unattended on a table including donuts in a box and a can of nuts. So, be sure to put away loose items if leaving for more than five minutes. Dog friendly, also!
This area of the river is just awesome love the payette river
Small Campground. Only 10 spaces, close together. Only one space will accommodate 30' trailer or 5th wheel, regardless of what the campsite describes. Don't believe the specs. Very close to Hwy 21, very noisy. If you want to fish, either drive another 5 miles to a spot, or be prepared for quite a hike to the river from the campsite. Good things are it's clean and hosts are friendly people.
I can’t say enough about this campground. Lots of space and super clean bathrooms. So so quiet. Nice little walk down to the water. Lots of shade. We had the best time. The camp host was friendly and helpful!
Beautiful campsite. Pump was very slow getting water to come up, but bathrooms were clean. No host on site, have to go to the Kirkham Hot Springs to find hosts.
