As camp hosts for the BLM in Idaho at Blackfoot Res it has been updated with long back in sites and has several big rig friendly long pull throughs all with 50 amp $10 ($5 golden pass) plus $5 electric 16 sites. 14 dry w several any size sites at $5 ($2.50
w/golden pass). Better than boondocking high on a hill with great views.All about it and pictures with map
