Wonderful River Setting

Fantastic views, great owners, and prime location.

Our stay was just perfect. We really felt like part of the family as we got to know the owners of the property.

Easy driving and access, simple back-in or pull through. Solid wifi, good water pressure, and stable electrical systems during our stay. River was flowing fast and had some activity but not too much. Spent some time at the community firepit which was also very enjoyable.

Don't have enough nice words to say about the location, amenities, and people.

Thanks again, we will definitely be returning soon!!!

Needs some tlc

This campground has potential that is not being exploited. Lovely spot beside the Payette River but that’s about it. Water and 30/50 hookups but too few trees, ery little to do without driving a distance. Close to white water rafting outfitters.

Absolutely wonderful spot on the Payette River!

First time camping on the Payette and what an absolute treat. Small but perfect little campground with beautiful views and the nicest hosts. Everything was super well kept , the hookups are like new, and getting in and out of the site was a breeze. We fell asleep to the sounds of the Payette and woke to the most beautiful scenery imaginable. Will definitely go out of our way to stay here again!
