Beautiful Scenery

This camp ground is extremely beautiful. Good spacing between sites. We were here during the Off season. It was quiet and wide open. The town of Joseph was very close and with the visit. However, there was a lot of dog poop not picked up by their owners. Nothing more frustrating than having to spend time cleaning you shoes, twice.

Other than that we had a great day and would come back.
