It was fine. Folks were kind, facilities were clean and the only thing that kept me awake at night was the wind and the train. 10/22/2020

It was pretty good. The only issue is that the fire pits were covered with leaves and both me and my wife stepped in them unknowingly and fell. She twisted her knee and my back was jarred. 10/21/2020

Super friendly staff. 10/21/2020

Perfect cabin experience. You can hear the river and it’s so peaceful. The beds were comfortable too. 10/20/2020

Came for a weekend getaway. The park was very clean and beautiful with the fall colors. The camp hosts were great. The Portneuf River runs right through the campground. You are about a 5-10 minute walk from the main town including the hot pools... 10/19/2020

It was a beautiful spot. 10/19/2020

Our campers may fish in the river, right from the campground if they wish, and on a lucky day will snare a good trout. Another popular spot for fisherman is the Chesterfield Reservoir, located about 30 minutes from the campground. We have seen great catches come back to the campground from that spot (no fish tales here!). Stop in the store to pick up your Southeast Idaho fishing guide.
