Close to Road and the River

This is a small campground right off Highway 55 and across from the Payette River. There are 4 small campgrounds right in a row near here. There is plenty of shade and pretty good privacy. Not much room for larger campers or RV, better for smaller campers and tents. I did not get cell service here.
