GuideWe spent two nights here. Rained the whole time so we didn’t explore much but loved watching the prairie dogs forage and play. There are vault head toilets. You can buy firewood and ice. Lots of bear boxes. We reserved online ahead of time but protocol for walk in sites is clearly explained as well.
TravelerWe had a great stay in the last weekend of May. Our site had electric hook-ups, and walking distance to the really nice playground.
Campground has potable water filling and dump station. NOTE $5 fee to dump; cash or check!
Campground also had a group site area and day use pavilion, shower house and vault toilets. Only a 5 min drive up to the caves. Campground is essentially flat with trees scattered throughout; could find some shade near your site, but direct line of sight to pretty much all the other RVs at the campground.
TravelerThis is an amazing place to camp—right on the Jefferson River and walkable to Renova hot springs—but it fills up fast. There’s really only three spots to camp, and there are no facilities. Please leave the area clean!
GuideSpacious sites with 1-2 trees in sites. Electric only with water fill up and dump station on site. Pay extra to dump.
GuideWe were planning on camping at Canyon Ferry Lake but it was way too windy! Searched for a campground more out of the wind and landed here. Was definitely less windy and had campsites available! Walking access to river and places to sit on the bank and watch the water and animals. There was one pit toilet. Glad we found this place to get out of the wind. Was good for one night stay but wouldn’t stay more than that. The trains passing through were quite loud and so was the freeway, but other than that it was a decent place for the night.
GuideSmall campground around 2 little lakes-spacious sites with vault toilets
GuideThis is basically insurance against the knock. Call during government business hours weekdays to reserve and pay. If you need electric it’s more. No bathrooms. Just a place to sleep without worrying.
TravelerAwesome view and helpful staff. The cleanest bathrooms and shows you'll find on a camp ground. LINDA (a camp hostess) is amazing.
GuideCamped right next to the lake with a beautiful view of mountains. Clean bathroom. Be aware that there's no potable water and no garbage. Campground is fairly open with few or no trees between sites. Campground is close to civilization - a main road with houses on it. But it wasn't noisy. No trails from campground that we could find. Worked well for an overnight stop for us in our truck camper.
