Nice quiet camping

Stopped at Craters of the Moon on our trip home from Mt Rainer. It’s not a large campground, and it off the main road. A little hard to find. (Behind Pickle’s Place). Convent to Craters of the Moon !

We like staying here while traveling through Idaho. It’s a short drive to Craters of the Moon National Monument, and Arco, Idaho is a neat little town. The Showers and Laundry facilities at this park were not used by us during this visit. Staff was very friendly during the check in process. There is limited shade in the park.

Roomy Sites, typical KOA

The Rv spots were pretty roomy. There’re gravel and pretty level. WiFi is hit and miss, pretty typical for a Koa. Rest rooms are dated but clean but also heavily used when I was here from big tent groups. It’s pretty dusty but that’s a function of the location. Very convenient to Craters of the Moon.

Fun holiday camping

Great little campground with full hook ups, 30 or 50 Amp. Spaces for tent camping up to Class A motor homes. Several pull through spots, a few back in spots. The campground is well maintained and had friendly staff. Amenities included showers, restrooms, laundry, small store that sells firewood and propane among other necessities, ice cream social (for a donation) in the evening, free waffle breakfast in the morning, pet friendly with dog park, playground, and pool (although not super warm). Good activities in the area if you enjoy the high desert. We stayed on 4th of July weekend and even with a full park it didn't feel crowded.

Stayed here for 2 days and it’s a standard KOA. It’s surrounded by views of huge mountains and open plains with a horse pasture next door. It was quiet and everyone here was respectful of others.

Friendly staff and just a short distance from Craters of the Moon NM

We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow, were meeting friends in the area and visiting Craters of the Moon NM. The CG was experiencing some electrical service outages at some of the sites, which also impacted the pool and septic system, but they ran a generator when needed to alleviate the septic issues. We were in site D4 for 1 day in early August. The campground is showing some signs of age, but is ok for a short visit to the area. They do offer free waffles and coffee in the mornings and an ice cream social in the evenings. AT&T coverage decent, ranging from 3-4 Bars of LTE with service up to 16 MB/s. We were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site. There were no OTA channels to be had with our fixed omni antenna.

Quiet, clean, free coffee and waffles

We staid here one night. Rolled up around 7 and there were three tent sites remaining. We took T4 which was big enough to pitch two tents. Yeah he site was clean and quiet. The facilities clean. Hot water in the shower in the morning. There is a little bit of construction around the pool but it wasn’t active when we were here. The hosts are friendly. Would stay again

Family Friendly

We drove 10 hours from Denver and didn’t know how late we’d be arriving, so we placed a reservation in advance using the KOA app. Check-in was quick. Our boys got to enjoy the pool before it closed for the evening. I’m the morning they offer FREE waffles, so after packing up the car, we enjoyed breakfast before heading over to the National Monument.

Weak Electricity

Staff and grounds were amazing. Pool was perfect for kids. However, on a super hot week site A1 was not strong enough to get our AC running. We were so hot at night in our camper. 😕. Asked staff about it and they said they were aware and repairing it was going to be very costly but they really needed it.

Great spot to see Craters

We passed through here heading from the Tetons to Oregon. Looks a lot like several other small town KOAs we’ve stayed at. Free waffles for breakfast was a nice touch. We got a site with a large shade tree but many were totally exposed to the sun. Beautiful countryside nearby but not much going on in the town of Arco. Only 20 minutes to the Craters of the Moon visitors center. Great location to stay to check out this remote and amazing NPS site.

Good spot for craters of the moon

Staff was friendly, bathrooms were ok, no dedicated shower rooms (for the men at least). Playground for kids was minimal, but pool seemed nice. This is a good jumping off point for craters of the moon.

They had free waffles and coffee on the Saturday morning we were there. Not sure if that’s an everyday thing, but it was nice.

About 20 min drive to Craters Of The Moon, and it’s worth it to go out there and check it out.

Beware google maps doesn’t map properly to this campground and may take you down an old dirt road. You should turn in town at “pickles place”.

Far out there RV Park - middle of nowhere!

Cute campsite/RV Park. Nothing is around, so bring food and activities! The store is really cute, they serve ice cream in the evenings and pancakes for breakfast. Nice touch, since there isn’t much else around. Small pool, but it’s great after a hike in the park.

Pretty typical KOA, which is a good thing!

We stayed here on our way to Yellowstone. Has most of the usual KOA amenities: clean bathrooms, pool, cabins, full hookup RV spots, and a few tent spots. Even has a couple of teepees. Very friendly staff and a well stocked store/deli. Near Craters of the Moon National Monument. The town of Arco was charming and has an interesting history as the first nuclear-powered city in the US. If our travels take us this way in the future we'll camp here again!
