TravelerThe campground has water and electricity. It’s a great deal, especially for seniors with the America the Beautiful pass. We paid $12.50 a night. The sites are pretty spacious. The campground sits below the dam with less wind. The host, Tom, was super friendly. He and his wife keep the place clean and tidy.
TravelerVery nice place to go for a quick overnight camping trip. The bathrooms were clean, as well as the sites. The only down side was the the trash services weren't ready yet, so make sure to pack it out if you're there in early may. This is the second time I've stayed there, and I will return again.
GuideExtra 5$ over other local campgrounds because there is water available and trash. Not especially nice or terrible. Very small sites, most with no room for a normal size tent, sites packed on top of each other. Even the few meant for small rvs have little room. Host on site in a nice beautiful and well maintained site, the public sites are not well maintained. Overgrown with weeds, very disappointing. Hosts don’t do much and are unhelpful. Suggest looking for any other CG in the area, there are several
Details: Toilet and trash on site Tight road, don’t tow anything to big On site managers are unhelpful Minimal room for even the average size tent One car per site at mist of them, nowhere else to park Long but easy drive to Darby, minimal amenities. Hamilton only 15 more minutes
Guide12 sites with good tables and fire rings. This is a well maintained NFS campground. 3 vault toilets that are kept clean. Sites #1 & #2 get the most sun, are the largest, and can accommodate any size RV. The remaining sites vary in size. #2 can easily hold 5 full size trucks side by side, or three medium size trailers/5th wheels with their tow vehicles. It also has 3 large tables, plenty of open ground for tents, and is ideal for large groups and families. Toilets are located across from site 3, between 5/6, across from 12. #7 is low ground camping you walk down to with minimal shade and perfect for hot weather days.
The exit is at site 12, one way travel thru the campground. Across the street from the exit is the entry to sites 1-4 horse camping. Small sites with table, fire ring, and enough room for a small tent. There are 3 large metal structures with 3 chains each for horses and 2 horizontal tie out bars. No room to park horse trailers on that pull thru. One trailer spot across from site 4 by the “stock water trail” sign, the rest can park 50 yards down the road at the trail head/turn around. There are 2 additional tie out areas here for horses and plenty of room for horse trailers and several other vehicles.

TravelerThe campground owner Libby was very helpfull and nice to us. Its very close to the city. So you can walk and leave your camper on the ground.
GuideGreat hidden gem off 12. It has enough spots to accommodate 5-6 campers. We had no issues on a Sunday night. Very peaceful next to the river.
Guide7 spots off the beaten path, small creek lehmi. On the Lewis and Ckark trail. Bathroom is ADA.
GuideOvernight quiet spot, about 20 spots
TravelerPretty small and basic campground. I counted what I think was 9 sites? There are no numbered sites, just designated fire rings to indicate the different sites I suppose. One large accesible pit toilet is available. Most sites back up to the river which is pretty nice. FREE and pretty quiet for the Saturday night I stayed - 4 open spots at 8:30pm. Only downside is it’s rather close to the highway and you can hear cars driving by pretty regularly.
