What campers say
The campground sits on the Salmon River and features two well‑maintained hot spring pools — a milder soaking pool and a hotter pool — with a natural, percolating bottom. Visitors appreciate clean facilities, river access, nearby fishing and off‑road trails, and options for RV hookups or tent sites. Practical tradeoffs include compact, sometimes close‑together sites, pools exposed to full sun (bring sun protection), and restrooms/showers that can be a short walk from the pools. Staff interactions receive mixed reports, and pool entry involves a few steps with handrails, which may affect accessibility for some.
