What campers say
Baumgartner Campground offers easy river access, paved trails to the South Fork of the Boise River, and a popular hot spring pool. The sites are generally clean with maintained restrooms and active hosts who often keep the area tidy, though a few visitors reported uneasy interactions. The campground is RV-friendly and family-oriented, with kids on bikes and good fishing, but sites can be tight for larger trailers. The pool and river area can become crowded and alcohol is restricted at the pool. The road in is long, bumpy and dusty, but many find the setting worth the drive.
