One of the most beautiful Forest Service campgrounds in Island Park. It is several miles from busy Highway 20, so it's quieter than other Forest Service campgrounds in the area. Seven of the 15 campsites have electricity (30 and 50 amp). Individual sites do not have water, but there are several water spigots scattered throughout the campground where a person can fill his/her fresh water tank. There is no on-site RV dump. The trail to Coffee Pot Rapids begins just outside the campground gate. There is parking (referred to on signage as "Fisherman's Parking") outside the campground gate. Parking within the campground is for paying campers only. Campers may float down the Henry's Fork on kayaks, tubes, canoes, etc., and take out right in the campground. Those who float down the river, who are not paying campers, must take out at a new location (Sept. 2025) just west of the campground. Parking in the campground to load flotation devices is prohibited by the Forest Service.

I pulled in at 12 midnight and snagged the last spot. It was right next to the hosts. It wasn't until morning that I was able to see how immaculate the site was cleaned. I have never seen such a clean site before. Rake marks still covered the site. The squirrels can be a little vocally abusive to you from their perches high in the trees, but they eventually calmed down. I'm sure I look like a fool arguing with a dang squirrel, but I had fun. The hosts were kind and friendly. This is a beautiful spot.

I took the river trail and it is absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend it for anyone visiting Island Park. It's a very easy hike, you're by the river pretty much the entire time. Watch for moose!

We stayed just one night, but it was the most lovely spot we stayed in our 2000 mile drive trip. We arrived in the late afternoon and there were several spots to choose from, but I expect it could be harder earlier in the summer or on a weekend. There's a trail along the river. I didn't take a chance on putting my kayak in since I didn't have the required Idaho invasive species permit, but I wanted to!

Bad experience with Park Host but the peacefulness was wonderful. Spent time with my mom her first time camping had a wonderful time bonding.

First come first serve with electrical hookups. Boy does this campground get a lot of traffic. There is a parking lot for fisherman, and an exit for all the kayakers, paddleboarders, and floaters. The stay limit is 5 days. The river is beautiful but has leeches. The sites were relatively clean. There were water valves evenly dispersed through out the campground. Restrooms are drop down, and recently emptied so they don't smell that bad yet. The campground was extremely busy. People came and went all day looking for spots. We even had people knock asking when we were leaving. So keep that in mind. That combined with everybody getting out of the river in the middle of the campground made it so busy.

Lovely. Quiet. Secluded. Next to a shallow but quickly moving river. We were lucky that they had an opening because it appears they are usually booked far in advance. It would be wise to call ahead as the road getting here is mediocre to poor and I wouldn't want to make the drive just to find out there are no openings.

very beautiful campground. Only has 16 sites and very clean and quiet. I had site #6 and used a tent. there is no power outlet on this site #. I was less than 100 feet from the Henry river. I camped in The end of July and there were very few bugs. I didn't use my bug spray. Camp Hosts keep the bathroom very clean. Its a out house with no sink but had hand sanitizer every day. It s About 25 miles to yellowstone.
