Boise Riverside RV Park

Well, guess the review below should have been posted after we checked out. Why? We went for a walk and upon our return at 9pm we were greeted by the management advising us we needed to immediately depart. If we didn't we were told we'd be trespassing and.... This is a first for us. A bit surprising as we are both retired health care professionals(surgeon and MPH). Plus, we have volunteered as camp hosts in both state parks and a KOA. Not a good experience. We are in a 38' Class A, and we're assigned site 17. The"guide' took us to our site. He had the people in the next site move their car so we could pull through and back in. Then he directed my husband pull through an area where there was a dead tree with the branches cut off, but still with the trunk and large limbs present. The top of our RV got caught under a protruding branch, scraping the top edge of the coach. The guide shared this was his first week and he didn't understand why they assigned us this site. He got his manager to come look at our coach and the site. The manager said he would have parked us differently, and they are not responsible for the damage. We asked for a different site, and the approach was better. Still very tight. Not a great way to start the visit and very disappointed in the management. Leaving early and likely won't be back or recommend this park to others. We camped at Boise Riverside RV Park in a Motorhome

Like most (it seems) campgrounds, this place is badly in need of maintenance. When it rains, the "roads" (term used loosely) are mud puddles. Your site is too, unfortunately. Most of the park is long-term scum campers, junk all over the sites, loud trucks, loud music.

To top it off, many of these hobos take pleasure in putting dog food bowls of duck food out, so you can count on duck crap all over the place, on your rig, on your vehicle. The constant quacking makes you think you're on an island in the river. It will drive your dog nuts too.

The Greenbelt:

Pretty, but VERY overcrowded. If you're looking for some peace walking by the river, forget it. Spandex wearing cycle maggots, too self-important to even bother to say "on your left" or ring a bell, come ripping up behind you, inches away, as if they despise you "being in the way". Most are wearing mirror shades so they don't have to smile at anyone.

All in all, there are much better places to spend time in Idaho. Try Idaho Falls, or Twin Falls. Stanley and Coeur d'Alene are both gorgeous. Boise is basically California, including the the corresponding batch of jerks just like you find in California.

Originally planned to stay here three months, left after a few weeks. Obviously, won't be returning.

Glorified parking lot. Sewer connection isn’t threaded, instead they provide you with a rock to place on top of your line so it doesn’t blow out everywhere. Pets are allowed but the only grassy area in the whole park dogs aren’t allowed in. The entire front of the dumpsters had broken glass scattered all over the ground mixed in with the dirt and rocks. And my last complaint BEES!Hornets and wasps were surrounding our outdoor area. The laundry building was clean and maintained. Overall it worked for the 3 nights we stayed but I wouldn’t want to stay longer.

We stayed at this park in Sept 2022.  We decided to make a reservation again in 2023 because the best part of this park is you are right next to the green belt.  Unfortunately, This place is run with a "like it or not, we don't care" attitude.  Toni, who runs the place, has terrible customer service skills and there is no room for negotiation.  We made a reservation on Mar 17, 2023 for 8 days in August, 5 months in advance and we cancelled on April 2, 2023, within 2 weeks of making the reservation in the first place.  We were required to pay a $300 deposit which is non-refundable.  Their non-refundable policy, is to make up for money lost because a site was tied up, but for this reservation it was tied up for only 2 weeks, so I'm pretty certain they didn't lose money.  We have tried to reach out to Toni by phone at least 10 times.  Once, we even got her husband and he promised us he would have her call us.  Nope.  Never happened.  The customer service rating is because Toni will not return a call and refuses to negotiate.  She won't give the common courtesy to work something out with her.  She really doesn't care what you think or even your side of the problem.   Not a good way to run a business. Like I said, if you ride bikes and like the greenbelt its a okay place to stay but make sure you don't put a $300 deposit down.  The entire park is gravel/dirt roads except for some lawn that a few small campspots are on.  There are lots of residents staying long term in very old and run down trailers.  Kind of junky.  Be careful if you decide to stay here and for sure don't make a reservation for more than a couple of days so you don't lose your deposit.

Management was vindictive and disorganized. They pulled multiple unauthorized charges from our account claiming we exceeded the 5 mph speeding limit. When we asked for documentation or a receipt they became extremely confrontational, yelling and accusations.

Our site was poorly maintained. We voiced concerns about some tree branches hanging over our site with branches that had clearly broken off. The water was leaking terribly and we immediately shut it off and notified them. They did not address either issues nor offer another site.

It took me 3 weeks, multiple phone calls, physical visits to book this campground. That is how disorganized management was, even their pricing was unclear.

Avoid this park!

Fairly quiet RV park near many of Boise’s attractions. Bath house is minimalist but always clean. Small grass area for day camp sites. A little dusty as all roads and sites are gravel/dirt.

Other than WiFi sucks, 5G on Verizon 😃 Nice Laundry open 24hrs. They remembered us from 5 yrs ago. Dog friendly

A lot of resident long term camping here. Not my favorite.

The park is clean and the facilities are nice. Most sites are gravel pull through with a concrete pad. They tell you that there’s limited access to Wifi. We couldn’t even connect.

Clean well maintained. Backs onto the Boise green belt so it is an easy bike ride into town, breweries, museums etc.

Feels like a little oasis tucked in behind the fairground and baseball stadium. The green belt and river run right by it. Super friendly staff. Variety of site types. Excellent laundry and shower facilities open 24/7.

Really love camping here because of the Boise Green Belt bike and walking path.

Easy access to central Boise in a park-like setting along the greenbelt path. We rode bikes along the path, enjoyed the river, toured Boise state and downtown, and even ate dinner without ever getting in our car. Everyone at the campground was very friendly and helpful. The facilities were clean, operational, and quiet. Got a good night's sleep, felt safe at all times. Enjoyed our stay.

This is a great campground right on the Boise River. There is a greenbelt that runs from. The campground all the way to Lucky Peak Reservoir, a distance of 19 miles.

This spot is on the Boise River, a short trek from wineries, shopping and the river.  Something for everyone!  Nice people, great location.

We got one of the last spots as they were slammed with Oregon wildfire evacuees. We were grateful as we were required to be in Boise for 2 days. But when we hooked up I found the 30 amp outlet melted & broken and the 110 outlet blackened from spark damage. The office was closed but I managed to find a maintenance man to come look at the outlet He replaced the 30 amp outlet & left. Then I hooked up my surge protector and got reverse polarity warnings. I located the manager & told her I wanted to move as I won't use a faulty outlet. She agreed to refund my money & let us stay because they had no other spaces. Next day I went to the office & the lady there said they were very familiar with the reverse polarity problem. I asked about a reduced rate for the second night & she said she'd send an electrician to fix the problem that afternoon. We had no power for 2 very hot days. No electrician ever came. I was only charged one night on my CC statement but that comes to $20 night for no power.

The park was nice for a single night stop, and the people were really nice and helpful. Try to get a back in site to the green belt if you can.

Clean and next to Boise river. Perfect place to stay and visit Boise.

This RV Camping Site is AWESOME! They do allow tent camping and have cabins. They have full hookups for RV's as well. There is a lower rate for "back-ins" to the Boise River Greenbelt. They also have a higher rate for Pull Through Sites for RVs. There is so much to do in the area. Biking, hiking, walking along the Boise River. There is also some great fishing on the Boise River. This location is centered for city goers, snow skiers, white water rafters and anglers. We visited some nice restaurants within a short drive of the campgrounds. We rode our bikes along the trails, upstream and downstream. The campgrounds also rent bikes for those that don't have their own :-) You will not be disappointed with this campground if you want to get to know Boise, Idaho.
