Nice, comfortable campground across the street from the Madison River. Road is very busy so you need to be aware. Not much cell service which is fine as long as you are aware - also hard to get clear view of the open sky.

Great location. Very well kept campground. Amazing host! Bathrooms were well maintained. Bear boxes were very sizable. I’d give it more than 5 stars if I could.

Camp Host was exceptional. Nevertheless, the campsite plan needs revision. We were in site #5. We had no privacy or space to accommodate us properly. We left a day early due to this factor.

Our camp host was nice. We stayed at site #4 which shares a small space with sites 5 and 6. Unfortunately, when all three sites are booked, you are right next to each other with no privacy. Really not a great place for large trailers.
