Isolated and comfortable camping location. Decent birds. Excellent facilities and spacious. No water features or major natural attractions to keep you entertained.. besides the gentle trails nearby. Great place to stay if you enjoy a clean and calm campsite for its own merits, but dont expect to be overwhelmed by activities or natural beauty.

Idlewild campground Nice campground with good spacing between sites. Good loop trail to hike. Very clean bathrooms tho in need of paper. Big fire ring and picnic table at each site. We have a 22’ truck @ a 24’ trailer and had no problem finding a site at 5 pm. Several pull thru sites available. A little big truck highway noise at night but a great spot to spend the evening and a lazy morning.

Loved this place. So quiet. Very clean vault toilets. Water available for drinking. $10.00 a night. Private camp spots.

We camped here on a whim while traveling through the area, as a part of our circle tour of the country. What a GEM! We loved the ponderosa trees (they are huge!) and it was so quiet. Not a lot to do in the area, but a nice hiking trail starts from the campground, and the solitude can hardly be beat!

Even though the air was smoky from distant fires, the campground was still clean, quiet, and relaxing. The vault toilet was very clean and smelled good. Campsites were well spaced without a lot of braken and downed trees.

Quiet and clean. Bathrooms were well kept. Note: The sites are just off of US 395, so there is some traffic noise. The noise level is very low as the road isn't very busy. Look for spots at around the entrance to lower the noise even more. Overall a great little campground.

Nice campground with big sites. Easy cross country skiing trails right off the campground.
