Botts Campground

Nice campground, but I reserved spot #6 which on the map from the pictures is located on the North end. When we arrived site 6 was on the West side, it seemed like site 6 was switched with 7 (The numbers were out of order). Our campsite was extremely close to the busy canyon road. During the evening a SUV driving down the canyon took the corner too fast and crashed into the canyon wall. The car continued to swerve down the road, started skidding toward our campsite and almost rolled their vehicle into our campsite. We had to hurry and grab our children believing the car was coming into our campsite. Fortunately, the SUV swerved again in the opposite direction narrowly missing our campsite. It was terrifying. We did not feel safe staying there. We quickly packed and left. Disappointed that

As far as the condition and ease of use for the campsites I'd give it a 5/5. There are vault restrooms, multiple water faucets, and each campsite has a fire pit and a stand for propane stoves. The reason it's 4/5 is that finding out info for the camps was difficult. The number listed under Botts Campground sent us to Anderson Cove, and 4 different suggested numbers later we still couldn't contact the actual host at the campsite. Luckily the campsites were reserved for the weekend and were open for us to use the day we drove up. There is a gas station 10 min. Away from the campsite and we were able to use the ATM there for the campsite payment, which a host from Magpie collected from us. To save time I'd bring maybe $30-35 cash to pay for the site ($24 a night for single sites) and firewoo

We literally go 4 or 5 times a month during the summer.

Was good. The camp sites were more open than other areas with less brush. It gets darker earlier and light later. That means the sun does not rise until after 9-10ish. There are good spots to play in the river. The camp host was nice, it was a man (some reviews didn't like another camp host). We did see rattlesnakes, so keep an eye out. The bonus is that unlike other campgrounds in the area it's easy to see the ground since there aren't so many bushes in some of the sites, though you probably want to keep an eye on kids and pets while there. The best thing is that most sites are next to the rivers and the fish traps/dams are better than other campgrounds. The river is slower and it's good for the kids. Insects disappeared as it got really cold into the night. Our 20 degree bags did oka

Overpriced, cramped, and the camp hosts are like prison guards, where they treat people more like they're a hassle than a guest. The campsites are located just feet away from a very busy highway where cars are flying by the at all hours of the night. They charge $16 per night with 1 vehicle. Any additional vehicles are $8 per night with a maximum of 8 individuals. The sites are not well maintained and are extremely overgrown. In many of the sites in this group, the gates are shut at dark and no one is allowed to come or go. Compare that to camp sites in Idaho where you pay $5 per night with 1 vehicle and $5 for each vehicle. They're clean, maintained, a little off the beaten paths, and the hosts are very friendly. You actually feel like you're camping and enjoying the outdoors instead of b
