What campers say

Albert Moser Campground sits in Caribou-Targhee National Forest beside the Cub River, offering shaded, fairly secluded sites with easy river access, picnic tables, fire rings and water spigots near many sites. The setting is well suited to tent camping, short hikes and birdwatching, and it’s a short drive from Preston. Practical tradeoffs include generally small, tighter sites that can be difficult for trailers, limited on-site services (no host on the premises; no firewood or ice available), and mixed reports about restroom upkeep. The area is also popular with ATVs, so expect occasional engine noise on the campground roads.
