Overview
Found just downriver from Blue Spring, this campground is home to deep swimming holes and impressive bluffs. Like other campgrounds on the Jacks Fork, Bachers is a fantastic destination for camping, floating, and more. At the campground, the deep, blue swimming holes invite campers to cool off. Also, about 1 mile downstream, Jam Up Cave is a popular trip for summertime floaters. The whole area is great for viewing wildlife, and fall can be particularly pretty.
