Fred Reynolds:

This is a great camp ground, not as good as the Idaho Power sites on the lower Snake River which have elect and water hookups at RV camping spots. Scout Park has poor to nonexistent cell phone service no telephone service and the camp host is only part time which adds to the risk of camping because of the lack of emergency focal point in the park although the Owyhee County  Sheriff does randomly patrol the park. This could be a much better Idaho Power Park with a little more understanding of campers needs on the Upper Snack River.
