This is a nice place for a short stay. What I liked was there was lots of wild life here. We rolled up to our campsite to a bull moose standing just across the river not far from our site. We also saw plenty of antelope and deer. The sites are paved with fairly good spacing between sites. We got our big rig in our site with no problems. On the "con" side there is no bathrooms, showers or laundry service. There is limited dog walking area although there is a dog park a couple of minutes drive from this campground. We have big dogs so they need room to run every day and there was nothing for them at this campground. Gas and groceries are just down the road. I do wish more of this info was on their web page, If you are not into the extras this is a good place- I would come back here again.

Neat and clean, no laundry but the people are very nice and the sites are paved. There is a wonderful little dog walk along the river. I even saw a moose!

Peaceful, quiet park. Not much to it, but it was comfortable. I saw deer, and great herd of antelope, and a MOOSE right across the river!! So that was incredible!! A great location to access Fossil Safari!
