The good: this is a free camping spot with nice views, pit toilet, not far from Boise area, and I had the place entirely to myself. The road in was paved until the last three miles which were gravel and just fine. It has lots of nice trails and there was one just a short half mile to a rock outcrop that had a panoramic view. There is a boat ramp and dock on the snake river close by too so I went for a float and swim the next day.
The bad: there's a feed lot just half a mile away so flies were everywhere. Even with bug screen a half dozen got inside. They're is also some kind of locust plague going on in this area and there were a lot of big black bugs. They don't bite nor are they dangerous but they did look scary when I went into the bathroom LoL. It's also really hot there, not a stick of shade to be found anywhere, but I was ok temperature wise until about noon when I left cause it was getting hot and went to the river.
All in all a good spot if you know what you're getting into.
