Situated along the Snake River outside Buhl, Idaho, Banbury Hot Springs Campground runs small by design. The total number of sites is limited, a fact that shapes the experience as much as any amenity on the property. Large shade trees are scattered across the grounds, and tent sites come with grass underfoot, individual picnic tables, and fire rings.
The draw here is the water, in multiple forms. A large hot springs pool has been operating on the property for nearly a century, and swimming passes include access to Miracle Hot Springs, roughly a mile away, which has multiple pools at varying temperatures. Kayak rentals are available on-site, and paddlers can reach Blue Heart Springs, a cove with clear blue water fed from below the lake surface, in about 30 minutes on the river. "Very good fishing for trout and bass" is how Ed E. describes the stretch of Snake River at the campground. The Thousand Springs area nearby adds waterfalls visible from the road on the drive in.
RV sites have electric and water hookups, though reviewers note the ground is uneven and leveling blocks are worth bringing. Cell service is minimal to nonexistent on the property. Bathrooms and showers are clean and available around the clock, and laundry facilities are also on-site. The campground is accessed via a scenic drive through farmland, a ways off the main freeway. Campers in vans or without hookup needs should ask about the riverside tent space, which reviewers flag as having more privacy than other spots.
Reservations are strongly recommended. The site fills quickly, and walk-ins have occasionally found only one space remaining. Campers who want to explore the broader 1000 Springs Resort corridor or nearby Shoshone Falls will find this location a workable base. This campground suits paddlers, anglers, and RV travelers who want hookups and hot springs access without a large, crowded resort setting.
