Swinging Bridge

Right off the highway but feels a lot more isolated. Lots of greenery, clean bathroom, and sound of the river. It is off the highway so there is car noises but it’s not bad.

Very well maintained site with a clean pit toilet.  Contrary to the Forest Service web site, there is potable water, a single working hand pump.  Some TMO cell coverage at north entrance but generally not usable.  Traffic noise during day, didn't notice at night.

Super clean campground. Clean restrooms. The camp host was really friendly and seemed like a straight up guy. We were the only ones at the campground on 8/14/23. As mentioned it is close to the road.

The Swinging Bridge campground had the pros and cons of being right off of hwy 55. It’s easy to access the site and Payette River but you can hear the traffic.

Not an ideal site for big rigs. No showers or cell service but there are vault toilets.

This is a small camp ground right off Highway 55 and across the Highway from the Payette river.  Lots of shade trees.  Not a lot of room for larger campers or RVs, mostly geared toward tent camping.  I did not get cell service here.

It’s close to the highway 55 so it’s kind of loud with traffic. Very close to the river so bring your swimsuit

This small loop of camp spots has one pit toilet and running water. The proximity to the road is close so you will get some road noise but the rushing river all but drowns it out most of the time. We didn't have any problems sleeping. This is a great spot to just pull over and set camp as we did without to much fuss. The spots all have a table and fire ring and the pit toilet wasn't bad. There is a camp host here if you need anything and they do run a generator. We barely noticed because of the river again.
