Mountain View RV Park and Restaurant

Just 15 miles from Craters of the Moon National Monument, Mountain View RV Park and Restaurant sits in the small city of Arco, Idaho. The privately managed campground provides full hookups for RVs at $52-$58 per night, with reservations available through their online system. Wide, spacious sites feature grass between them, and the property includes mature trees throughout the grounds.

The campground operates an on-site restaurant serving southern-style barbecue that draws consistent praise from visitors. A large fenced dog run gives pets room to roam off-leash, while a game area provides entertainment options.

Numerous guests pointed out the spacious sites, exceptionally clean facilities, and welcoming owners at this small RV park near Craters of the Moon. The on-site BBQ restaurant and large off-leash dog area were frequently mentioned highlights, with only minor complaints about pay showers.

Mountainview RV Park/Craters of the Moon

Nice campground, large fenced dog run, game area, restaurant & bar.  Older but clean restrooms; downside was pay showers, but they're exceptionally large!  Very convenient to town, and only some 15 miles from Craters of the Moon National Monument. Plan you visit for spring or fall, because this area can get HOT in the summer. In mid-September, we started our days in down jackets, but warmed into the low eighties by afternoon.

Home Away From Home

We stayed at this campsite for five nights and we're very happy with the accommodations. The site is very clean, including the laundry facilities. Super, super friendly staff made us feel welcome and comfortable during our stay. Staying at this campsite made it really easy to explore the Craters Of The Moon National Park, the ghost towns, and historical interests in the area. Fabulous large off leash dog area available. Big or small travelers fit well at this campsite!
