Really nice spacing and greenery between campsites, only about 10min East of Idanha, fresh water spigots throughout campground, nice fly fishing opportunities for native trout

Great campground. Stayed on site 30 next to the river and that makes a difference with the noise from the road. Place was clean and bathrooms too. Had great experience and not our first stay there. Some sites are hard to get to the water from especially on the east loop. Overall a great campground. Recommended.

Had a nice stay here. Getting to the river is tough on the east loop. Host was friendly and available. The vault toilets were pretty clean for vault toilets. They are very dark inside even during the day. Fire rings were in great shape, sites were clean. The site we stayed in had many tripping hazards like tree roots, rocks, and stumps(bring a head lamp). The water spigots were clean and the water was very fresh and cold. Waste water and periodic dumpsters. Like other reviews, there is the noise from the highway. We didn't think it was too bad and could hear the river over it most of the time. We will definitely return and try for a different site.

Campground is right beside the highway and I could hear traffic all night. There was also no river access for folks camped across the campground from the river. Bathrooms were clean and there was potable water and a place to dispose of kitchen sink water. It was extremely frustrating that the campground host’s rules are different than what is stated on Recreation.gov. We were told by the campground host that we could not have more than two tents. I’ve never heard of this. We had two 2 person tents and one 3 person tent for six people. How was this not allowed but we could have had two 10 people tents with 10 people total? These completely arbitrary rules either need to be on Recreation.gov or need to be standardized across campgrounds. What were we supposed to do when we had driven two hours with each group having a tent and then we find out about the tent limit? Drive back to a store to buy a tent? Cram four adults into a two person tent? Then the website says that each car beyond one is $8, however the campground host was telling us that we couldn’t even have more than two cars. And then our payment for one of the cars was questioned on day 2 of being there (this was beginning to feel a bit like harassment at this point). We also
