We got here on a Monday, thinking to stay through July 4, also a Monday, which would have been 8 days. It's a seven day limit, though I don't think anyone was checking.

We got here on a Monday, thinking to stay through July 4, also a Monday, which would have been 8 days. It's a seven day limit, though I don't think anyone was checking. A guy cleaned the vault toilets once a day. You have to drive through the very busy fishing access to get to the camping, so I'd say the upper campsites would get some dust and noise from all that activity. We were further in and didn't notice the boat ramp or the traffic going by on the highway. I'd say most sites had a mix of sun and shade. We enjoyed watching the fishing boats float by. The river was still a bit high for wade fishing. I dropped hubby off at Scotty Brown Bridge fishing access and it took him a couple hours to fish down that section to camp. There were available sites every night. People must think the highway is noisy, but it wasn't. I had two bars of T-Mobile if I sat in the right place in my RV. There's a cell tower and five bars just up at the 200/83 junction and a nice rest area there if you need to work.

Camped right by the river with the sound of it running by drowning out any highway noise.
Clean site with picnic table and fire ring.

This is is a great spot along the banks of the Blackfoot River. Despite being quite close to Highway 200, and even being able to see traffic pass by, there wasn't much highway noise.

This is is a great spot along the banks of the Blackfoot River. Despite being quite close to Highway 200, and even being able to see traffic pass by, there wasn't much highway noise.
It seems like a popular spot for both camping and day use fishing. Even so, we arrived at 6 pm on Friday and found several spots still available.
Each site had a fire ring and picnic table. About 1/2 of the spots were right along the water. There were several vault toilets and the one we used was very clean. No trash cans that I saw but there were several bear boxes.
Verizon cell service was voice/text only. No data service.
