Decent little pay to camp spot but as a native idahoan we don't pay to camp so we found a sweet little spot across the road naturally. If you have small kids and are looking for a good family weekend in the woods this is an awesome camp ground. The bathrooms could use a little more upkeep tho in my opinion.
Small CG only 11 sites total, 7 sites can be reserved online, 4 are first come/no reserve. Pressurized water in CG, garbage containers, vault toilets, recycle bin for plastic and alum. Has a boat ramp, boat trailer parking and a dock. However, CG was logged thinned recently (last two summers) and large slash piles remain and disturbed soil areas are present..so the 3 stars rating for the visuals left from Forest Service thinning treatments. Some sites are not very attractive. Fees are 15$ for single site, 30$ for double sites, 1/2 price senior discount. Camp host on-site.
Good NF campground. No hook ups! 15$ single site. Only 4 are first come first serve. The rest are reservation only! Boat dock. Vault toilets. Water fill. Gets kinda crowded.
Love this camping site, always have a great time fishing of the dock. Never had any problems, camp host is great!
Beautiful campground right on Lake Cascade. Forest area. Very nice camp host.
