Our family-friendly facility offers full hookup RV sites, riverside tent camping, and group accommodations surrounded by the natural beauty of Idaho's Portneuf River.

We maintain strict safety protocols and environmental stewardship practices to protect our riverfront ecosystem. With 24-hour security and attentive on-site management, guests enjoy peace of mind throughout their stay. Our seasonal operation from Memorial Day to Labor Day ensures optimal conditions for all outdoor activities. Whether visiting for relaxation or adventure, our commitment to quality service remains unwavering.
