Quaint!!! Enjoyed our 1 night. Cancelled for our return because 23 miles north of the beaten path just isn't going to work when headed home. Well maintained. Beautiful surrounding. I loved it.
Gerald Parr
It is a privately owned, family owned campground located about 30 miles from Mountain Home. Access to the resort requires a 3 mile trek on a hard pack ground with gravel road. Trees offer comforting shade when the temperatures get hot. The staff is very friendly and provide prompt support when needed. The clubhouse has a vast library for the bookworms. The pool offers a refreshing break from the afternoon heat. Uninvited visitors (local animals) make the visit interesting, but mind your manners and so will they.

This is an amazing park in the mountains of Idaho. The views are spectacular and its only 20 minutes from mountain home, making groceries convenient. Anyone complaining about dust and dirt needs to go back to the city. I have spent a month here this year and the power is reliable, the water is reliable and the staff are the best.
