Convenient, Clean Campground

Stayed a few nights while exploring area. Camp hosts do a great job keeping the camp facilities very clean.  Our site a bit noisy in the evening (tent camping) due to periodic logging trucks rolling by, but not bad. Overall great facility

No services but really great

The state parks in Idaho are some of the best we have found in all our travels. The only downside was no services in the midst of a heatwave. 100!!!

Excellent get away!

We stayed here for a couple nights in July. Beautiful area right on the river. The camp hosts kept the sites cleaned up. It was a great time getting away from the everyday hustle and bustle.

Beautiful

Council is one of my favorite areas in Idaho. This campground is well kept, wooded, and easy. There are some dispersed camping areas near by as well!
