Challis Hot Springs

First, a big thank you to the State of Idaho for stepping in to preserve this National treasure for citizens of Idaho and her fellow countrymen. The campground is spacious; tons of maneuver space and big spacious campsites. The Hot Spring pools are immaculate and are cleaned and drained daily. The staff, awesome. Bob at the front desk was a hoot and very nice man who offered some great suggestions and some funny Idaho backcountry stories. Love this park and the springs are magical. Our spot was right on the Salmon River with a trail access to the bank where there is a great swim hole.

For what it's worth, this entire summer trip i had zero issues until I came here and had my camp chair stolen. Also, don't think you're booking a hot springs resort. They drain the hot pools at 8pm. The camp sites are slay incredibly stuffed together

Nice area. Flat spaces good shade. Right near the river and very quiet. Enjoyed our stop over for the night.

Don't go. This is a crowded mess of campsites all packed in together. The stream that runs by campsites is smelly and evidently polluted with run off from surrounding cattle ranches. Instead, there are many usforest campsites along the salmon river on hwy 75. Cheap, clean and nearly empty with just as good bathrooms at challis

Nice campground. 30 & 50 amp with water. Dump station on site. Great Hot pools included with camp fee

After riding ID75, it was time to find camp. Sure there are a bazillion to choose from along the highway, but I wanted to soak in the highly reviewed waters. I was NOT disappointed!!! Beautiful lawn, one of the freshest hot springs I’ve visited, and great campers. Side not: this place was recently purchased/handed over to the Idaho State Parks system.

This place is a true gem. Getting to experience hot springs without hiking to them is so nice. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Such a peaceful spot. We ended up staying an extra night!

Beautiful kept park with friendly service great hot tubs showers the campsites are immaculate

This Park is beautiful with spots on the river the rest of the park is green and lush with hot springs and showers that are very clean. $30 a night for a camp spot and we had rooftop tent♥️

We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 27 for 2 days in early August. The campground is well maintained and quiet and there is a walking trail on the property. AT&T coverage was good, with 3 bars of LTE and speeds up to 15 MB/s. Although the CG has WiFi, we were never able to connect to it. 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.

We stayed the night in a tent site, the place was beautiful! All the grass is nice and green, volleyball court, playground, two different hot pools from Hot springs. Beautiful flowers, right on the river! There's also hiking trails behind the campground.

This place has it ALLLLL. Tent sites, RV sites w/electric and water, dry sites; boat ramp; playground, volleyball net, clothes lines, hot springs pools(2!); showers; camp store with ice; WiFi; wildlife(two mountain goats lead me in on the road); walking trail; shade trees(no hammocks allowed). And it is next to the Snake river. Seriously?? Ok, so the tent sites are really close to the RV sites, but with electric there aren’t any generators running. And the pools close at 9pm, which seems kinda early when the sun doesn’t set until almost 9:30. But I get it. And you are close to the town of Challis with two grocery stores and two gas stations and a Family Dollar. If you can’t find what you need, you probably don’t need it. Besides, you are going to spend all of your time in the water or playing land games. The bathrooms and showers are open 24hrs a day so you don’t even have to use the porta potties scattered around the property if you don’t want to.

Loved going to Challis with the group I belong with but will not be back. Day of campout my reservation was taken away and was told to park with another camper. I had to park on the road as all of the other campers were anchored down for the weekend. The spot was not set up for two trailers and was told he does not offer discounts. Was unable to use fire ring nor set up outside kitchen due to how I was parked. The only bright side was the group of sisters that provided the weekend of laughter.

This private Hotsprings has two pools - ine about 97 degrees ( large and inviting), the second is smaller and hotter at 107!

located about 7 miles from Challis it has great lawn areas for tents, and shaded RV sites along the Salmon River. Playground. Showers.

bring your mountain bike or running shoes for a relaxing ride or run on the country access roads.
