North Bingham County Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

About 10 miles south of Idaho Falls, North Bingham County Park sits just outside Shelley, operating as a compact 12-site RV-focused facility run by Bingham County. The campground runs May through September and draws travelers looking for a straightforward overnight stop with full hookups along the eastern Snake River Plain. A chain-link fence surrounds the perimeter, and reviewers note the sites sit close together with shade trees that provide canopy but limited separation between neighbors.

The 12 pull-through sites each include 20/30/50-amp electric, potable water hookups, and a picnic table. The recently resurfaced pavement keeps sites relatively level, and the dump station sits just past the RV area with a separate water fill station roughly 50 feet away. Two grass areas serve as designated tent sites, each with in-ground fire rings, plus one shared elevated charcoal grill. Cell coverage is notably solid: T-Mobile users have recorded 5G speeds exceeding 300 Mbps, and AT&T holds three bars with LTE or 5G depending on conditions.

Payment runs on an honor system using envelopes at the front gate, cash or check only. As of July 2025, non-residents pay $45 per night, a significant jump from the listed base rate, so it is worth confirming current pricing before arrival. The bathroom code comes inside the payment envelope. "Restrooms are clean and nice shower is large," notes Abner H., and a disc golf course and dog-walking paths round out the on-site activity. Nearby alternatives include Blackfoot River RV Park and City of Blackfoot RV Park for campers weighing options in the area. This campground works best for RV travelers needing a reliable hookup stop between destinations.

Nice Quiet Park - $45/night for Non Resident

The park is nice and clean, appears to be recently paved or resurfaced. The spots are relatively level. Restrooms are clean and nice shower is large. The 12 pull through sites have 20/30/50 Amp outlets and potable water and each has its own picnic table. The dump station is just past the sites there is a seprate potable water fill 50' from the dump station which has its own hoses and water for flushing tanks.

There are two areas of grass designated as tent sites with in ground fire rings and there is one shared elevated charcoal grill.

As of July 2025 the nightly rate is $25/night for Bingham County Residents and $45/night for Non-Residents. There are envelopes for payment (cash or check only) at the front gate and inside the envelope is an information sheet with the bathroom codes.

- AT&T Service is 3 bars and bounces between 5G+ and LTE my speedtest showed 10.38 Mbps Download

- Starlink is partially obstructed in all of the pull throughs with ~15 outages greater than 2s in 15 minutes but has download speeds of 157.93 Mbps when not obstructed.

- T-Mobile is 3 bars of 5G and my speediest showed 310.58 Mbps download speed.

Peaceful and a great place to be

Very friendly people to talk with, with plenty of shade to enjoy being outside. There is a “Frisbee golf course “ for all ages and great paths to take your dog for a walk. Pretty much with the honor system for payment of fees. Be sure to take the little slip of paper from the envelope before putting in your money and putting it in the mail slot.

Great County Park

Great place for our overnight stay. Easy access to pull through sites with ample space between the sites. Nice clean bathrooms with showers! Electric and water worked great. Would definitely stay again.

Not for us

This was our first attempt to find a place to land in the Idaho Falls Area. Located about 10 miles south of Idaho Falls, it is a relatively new 12-unit RV Park (although they list prices for tent sites). When we arrived, there were two open spots but no apparent host or staff on-site. Sites are close to each other in typical RV Park fashion. There were some nice shade trees but they really did not provide much privacy/ separation between sites. The office was closed and you needed a code to access the restroom which we could see no way of obtaining. There were only large RVs camped there even though there are supposedly tent sites (without a code to the bathroom and nowhere that I could see to pitch a tent, I don’t see tenters staying there). There was some road noise and a chain link fence surrounded the campground. Nothing scenic about it. We moved on.
