Matt Shaffer
Great campground. Some are on the water, some are up the hill. Some sites are right next to others and a couple are very private with trees and bushes in between. Only about 9 miles to town
Dustin Nimz
Beautiful spot right on the river. $25 fee is a bit steep when there is dispersed camping right across the road but the river and multiple bathroom facilities are great. Spots are located close to each other but have plants seperating the camps.
Eric Vowell
Absolutely love this place so many places to get onto the River. Really is so much to see and enjoy. If you are looking for a campground you can't go wrong with Blue River Campground. The camping sites may be a little tight really nice Campground with plenty to do close to by.

We stayed at site 7, and there was little shade but a beautiful view of the hills and sky. Unfortunately, there is no access to the Blue River unless you go through other camp sites. The bathrooms are well maintained! The host was kind, and there is plenty of room between camp sites to not be bothered or bother others. There are a bunch of hikes and a few fishing spots nearby. Far enough from SilverThorn to feel in the wilderness and close enough to get anything you may need or want!
