This campground is well-kept and closely situated to the town of hot springs. The staff is very personable and flexible. After hours check in was a breeze. Cameron keeps the facilities looking nice and smelling fresh too. We were one of 2 or three visitors on a late night in November, so it was very peaceful. I also appreciate the fair rates. Thank you!

Annie and Cameron (owners) have been so kind and helpful. We are in the middle of a move from Washington State to Idaho. It is middle November and they have been working on improving their sites in 30 weather. The shower stalls are clean. The grounds are well kept. We are the only campers here but they have been so welcoming and understanding of our situation. I 100% recommend this place to stay. There are many things to do in the area but we are here on the off season so haven't done much other than stay in the camper. Please choose this place they have cute retro campers you can rentif you

Had a great experience camping here. The camp host was very kind, he said due to it not being busy there were some other options to park for the night in our campervan if we wanted. The bathrooms were very clean and new with hot water! The showers have their own room which is nice so you have more space. The grass is well taken care of and it is near town, which is convient. The only downside is how close to the highway it is with the loud trucks coming down the hill using their breaks. This was a great place to stay and we will be back if we are in the area again.

What a great campground!! We have stayed here multiple times because it is a nice clean park. The owners are the nicest people. We stayed here once and loved it and the owners so much that we drove ten hours just to stay here again. We have plans to come back at least twice a year. There is so much to do in the campground. It is also walking distance to the hot pools, and floating the river. They are continuing to make the park better each day.

Fun campground with everything you need. Very clean and well maintained, bathrooms were clean, camp host was friendly. Nice to have real flushing toilets and showers. Theres also a playground and volleyball court. Hookups and the dump station were wonderful for our RV. The only thing that was less than wonderful is the noise of the traffic all night from the highway. Well definitely return but pick a different spot thats farther from the road. We were at site 2 which was nice, right along the creek, and had great shade, but too close to the traffic noise.
