Love this place, the road was still closed at the dirt road about 9 miles out when I went about 2weeks ago

Nice, clean campground with active hosts. The sites are a little small but have distance between each other. They're just a little tight for larger trailers. The hot spring pool is nice. But folks, there is NO alcohol at the pool!! My wife and I went to the pool/soaker and people thought this was their personal party resort. One group ended up bringing mixed drinks. One kid cracked open 3 beers... Everyone sitting in the water, getting sloppy. It was 1:30 in the afternoon! Luckily the camp host ran them off... Guess what, they weren't even camping at the campground and so drove off inebriated. Good job people! 🤦

Really nice easy access to the camp spots. Paved trails right to the river and hit pool too.

First time we have stayed here. What a great place. Ready access, hot pool and the beautiful river.

Large, well outfitted car campground. Abundant with RVs, kids on bikes and beautiful spots along the South Fork of the Boise River. We came here to see the concrete pool hot springs (good temp, full with families) and was pleasantly surprised by the well-thought out nature trail honoring the campground’s namesake who lived on the site (and died while trying to get back there after getting his mail in Featherville one winter). We were even more surprised by the plethora of large bull snake all around the property, almost stepping on a couple of 7-footers. If visiting Baumgartner, don’t forget to follow the road past the last campsite to a picture perfect swimming hole replete with fish and fisherman. A nice day trip if staying elsewhere along the South Fork of the Boise.
