Such a cool spot - first we were the only ones there and it was not busy at all! I used the GPS points from the site to find the place and you have to exit pretty quickly. We filled up our water jugs and checked out all the cool fountain structures! These were made by the guy Elmer and I think that is just awesome. Explore out local springs! if you hike a little ways there is a spring with a waterfall!

We had planned to stay at the campground and take the mine tour…read more I honestly don't understand how this campground has so many positive reviews. We had planned to stay for four nights, but after arriving, we quickly decided to leave. When we checked in, Peter greeted us politely and handed us an envelope with our campsite information. I knew the campground was close to the highway, but I was hoping the campsites themselves would be pleasant. Unfortunately, our assigned site was far too narrow to be comfortable. As I pulled in, the campers next to us were struggling to empty their black tank and were using a water hose to wash away the mess. Before I even got out of my truck, the smell of sewage was overwhelming. We drove back toward the entrance and stopped to discuss whether we should stay. A man approached us and asked what the problem was. I assumed he was an employee, so I explained that the campsite was too small. He replied, "Is the real problem the people next to you?" I said that was certainly a concern. He then walked away, and we decided to leave. The next day, I called the campground and spoke with Peter again. He told me that the man who approached us was actually a former employee who had been fired several weeks earlier but still lives on the property. That only added to our concerns. Overall, the campground felt more like a dilapidated trailer park than a campground. Peter acknowledged that he understood my concerns about the sewage situation. I wanted to make sure I wouldn't be charged since we left immediately, but he said there was nothing he could do and suggested I contact the owners in California. I emailed the company but never received a response. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this campground. If you're looking for an enjoyable camping trip, I suggest staying somewhere else.

Stop by for a cold beer before my long stretch back to the west coast. New older bartender and she…read morewas not good. Maybe just nervous. Wouldn't dent the Company for it. There was another bartender who I assume was the lead and she was very knowledgeable and sweet. I mean, I only got to speak a sentence to her with one reply because there was an absolutely hammered person, at two in the afternoon, at the edge of the bar on the left side. I'm talking wasted. He closed out. Then asked for a beer on his tab. After being obliged, both requests he then asked for another beer and shot. And he got them. Now I am not judging. I'm describing. I wish it could've been 1/3 drunk as he was but had to deal with one unbelievably bad choice I made on draft. I also was able to purchase a silver belt buckle, which was the exact same price on Amazon. I'm glad that I purchased it there. The counter help were young, and they were extremely courteous and pleasant. If you're going east or west on I 90 I suggest you stop by. I wish I had time to try their food. It looked pretty great. Also...... restrooms were CLEAN!!!!

There are no other services here but it's still a good spot to get out of the car, stretch your legs and enjoy the nature that is all around. The marker reads, "More than 3,000,000 acres of timber in this area burned during an exceptionally dry summer in 1910. A gigantic fire storm on August 20 did unprecedented damage. Skies in Montreal and London were blackened by its smoke, which interfered with North Atlantic navigation. Strenuous efforts saved most of Wallace from its flames, but 85 fire fighters were lost, mostly in other areas. Edward Pulaski's heroic measures to save his crew in a nearby mine tunnel have become a forest legend recounted in Wallace's mining museum at 509 Bank Street." This is marker number 252 and it was erected by the Idaho Department of Transportation. [Review 21148 overall - 82 in Idaho - 111 of 2024.]
