Excellent sites

Level, clean sites - didn’t even have to adjust the camper. Exceptionally clean pit toilet complete with mat, clean smelling(and close by).

Friendly host stopped by and warned of bear presence earlier in the season, completed check-in. Pretty seamless experience

Forest Oasid

This campground is technically closed in the winter. We arrived late April and most of the snow had melted. There was one pit toilet left unlocked (bring TP) and no locked gate. We had the place to ourselves. We heard Elk and Norther Saw-whet owls. There is no cell service here and starlink struggled.

Beautiful stop on way to Montana

FS type campground in N ID just off I-15. Campsites at the top of the campground are best. Loop A (we were in A05) faces a road with lots of dry camp and UTV traffic. Also only 1 vault toilet in that loop, while upper has a 2 stall vault toilet. Nice level sites, mainly shady sites. Bear cans. Walking up road we had access to a number of trails some of which are for UTVs but were not busy while we were there. LOTS of RV groups up the road.

Way Too Many Rules!

Not impressed with the campground anymore. Over the years, the campground has gone through several hosts. Some were amazing! But most of the hosts are Nazi's. They act like it's their first time with some authority and they go crazy with their newly found power! Hey, I'm all for some order to keep the area managed and clean. But when you barely arrive and the host is over to your site with demands and the payment envelope in hand is a little too aggressive. Please give campers the benefit of the doubt. We are not there to rip off the National Forest Service. Speaking of Rip Off...now the sites are at $17 per night, up from $13 per night just a year ago (Bidenomics at their best). Then, if you can fit an extra vehicle into the campsite without fringing onto the rest of the campground, WHY do they charge an extra $6.00 per day? Absolutely ridicules!  Word to the campground host, be a little less micromanager and a little more "HOST" to the campers! Be accommodating and NOT dictating, Be patient and NOT that person who pesters the guests. MY God treat the guests like they are there to unwind from the daily stress, to relax in nature's fresh air away from the pressures of life. Give them SPACE, TRUST them and let them camp in PEACE!!!

Easy access from I-15, but quiet and pleasant

This campground was an amazing find after 10+ hours of driving. Sometimes adding another hour or more navigating back roads to find camping is just not in the cards. The campground only had one other visitor when we visited so it was very quiet, and it is also tucked away in the trees so there is minimal road noise. This spot is actually free until memorial day (the camp host was actually there doing maintenance and said that it only charges a fee memorial - labor day). Although be warned, only one bathroom was open and we had to go on a hunt to find it. Sites all seemed spacious and lots of trees!

Spacious and Secluded

We arrived after season and no one was here. Sites are spaced out but you can still see throughout the grounds. Plenty of hiking and exploring around for kids and adults.

Sites are nice and level with steel picnic tables and fire rings with grill grates. At each site is also a stand to place a charcoal grill or blackstone on.

Right off freeway but noise is very faint. There is a dirt bike + 4 wheeler track for day use. There is not as much noise as I expected from that. There are some sites farther away. The pit toilets are clean but there is only one per loop. The sites are clean and nicely spaced out. Camp hosts are on site and active. Suggest making reservation. There are trash containers and water by toilets. Lots of A loop have level, long back in sites.

A perfect campground

Me and my wife were looking to get away for a weekend and this place was just what we needed. We Tent Camp and we had people RV camp on either side of us and never heard them the whole time. The area is very woodsy and very pretty. The campsite was very developed and taken care of. The bathrooms were extremely Nice !!! They didn’t even smell bad ! Lol. We took a walk around the camp grounds and we saw many others do the same. We stayed at campsite 005. At all the campsites there was fire pits and big picnic tables. This is a spot we highly recommend.

Pretty spot

We pulled in and paid our $5 senior rate before I realized we were in a reservable spot. I checked with the host who was awesome and said no worries, it hadn’t been reserved so we were fine. It was beautiful there but the weather was nasty. It snowed and we actually had frost on the windows the next morning so we didn’t get to explore since we were only there for the night. If you are headed to West Yellowstone there is an absolutely beautiful drive on a dirt road by taking the Fort Henry bypass. We had a lot of mud due to the weather but made it fine in our Mercedes Coachmen.

Beautiful park in the wood

We stayed at this campground for one night on July 22, 2018.  

There are two levels, the lower one is for non-reserved and sits along the sometimes dusty road, and the upper is reserved and very green. The upper is much nicer with some of the cleanest best smelling pit toilets we've ever seen. We considered additional nights as it was so nice. Our neighbors were planning on one night as well but had remained for 6 nights. 

We had a very nice pull through site #6, with a level graveled area for the large picnic table and separate stove stand.  The fire pit was also located in this area but safely away from the table. The green meadows, surrounding trees, and excellent maintenance made this a beautiful campground.

As a note both AAA and Google routed us to exit 180 and we drove for 4 miles on sometimes paved, sometimes gravel road to arrive. When we got within a quarter mile of the campground, we came to exit 184 which was right at the campground (no gravel travel required)

Great! Tucked into trees but right on the creek.

We arrived here kind of late at night. This campground is pay site but down the street a little further is free more primitive camping. We had a great time although the water as turned off because it was mid october and the water needs to be turned off before it freezes.

They had just cleaned a bunch of trees so we had plenty of wood to burn. The only problem which was more hilarious than anything were these 2 duches blasting country music all night. What ever, to each his or her own. Beautiful down on Stoddard creek.
