By the Way Campground

Right off I-90 in Pinehurst, Idaho, By the Way Campground gives drive-in travelers a compact, well-maintained overnight stop with around 15 RV sites and a handful of tent spots arranged around a central gazebo with electric hookups. RVs up to 48 feet can connect to full hookups including electric, water, and sewer. The location is convenient, but proximity to the freeway is the defining trade-off here: one reviewer wore earplugs to manage the traffic noise, and even AC units may not fully mask it.

Cleanliness stands out as the most consistent theme across reviews. "Large clean bathrooms and showers," notes Jana J., and multiple visitors echo that the facilities are kept in good order. Four restrooms are on site, two with showers, and a laundry facility is also available. Management receives repeated praise for friendliness and responsiveness. Campfires are permitted, and WiFi is available throughout. Moose have been spotted moving through the property, according to more than one camper.

Campers exploring the area can find campgrounds near Kingston for additional options in the corridor. Nearby alternatives include Albert's Landing to the northwest and Swiftwater Motel & RV Park a few miles further along the same route. By the Way operates year-round, making it a practical layover for I-90 travelers who need a last-minute site with reliable facilities and a hot shower.

Okay in a pinch

Your right next to freeway very noisy. The AC couldn’t drown out the traffic noise. Wore earplugs. Very nice people and a clean spot! Bonus the moose come to visit.

Great Stay, Wonderful Managers.

Our family had a great one night stay. It was very last minute but they had a tent spot available. They do have around fifteen RV spots a few small cabins, and a handful of tent spots. The tent spots are around the perimeter of a gazebo that had electric hookup. They have four total restrooms, two of those have showers, and they have a laundry facility available as well. Everything was clean and we'll kept! Planning on staying again!
