Name: McCrea Bridge Campground

McCrea Bridge Campground is situated along Henry's Fork of the Snake River. Like nearby Upper Coffee Pot, the area is rolling hills covered by a mature lodgepole pine forest. This campground is rather sunny and was quite warm when we visited. There is a nice boat ramp and set of docks here with extra parking.

Campsites: There are 16 sites plus the camp host. Each site has a picnic table, a fire pit with attached grate, a camp stove table, another metal prep table and a sand filled tent square. The roads and driveways are gravel and the sites are dirt.

Host on Site: The hosts for 2012 were Bernice and Bill. They were really nice and helpful.

Water: The water from the pressurized system was clean and cool.

Garbage Services: Yes, and please use the bear resistant dumpsters to avoid a visit by a neighborhood bear.
