  Snow

  Took the long drive up and arrived at the campground at night. Didn’t see the snow and almost got stuck. Currently (5/10/24) there is snow blocking the entrance and impassible.

  Smoky Mountain Campground — Castle Rocks State Park

  Convenient to City of Rocks

  Close to City of Rocks and the small town of Almo. Hot springs in Almo. Small market in town which makes their own ice cream and has a little restaurant across the street but not much in the way of groceries. Couple other restaurants in town but they were not open while we were there. Also water not yet turned on in the campground so bring your own water if you are coming through early in the season. But it was quiet and we were able to explore and hike without running into many people

  Much Needed

  I recently had the pleasure of staying at this site, and I must say it was an experience that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived until the moment I left, I was captivated by the beauty, comfort, and tranquility that this place offered. Nestled in the heart of nature, the glamping site was a true oasis of serenity. The location was perfect, surrounded by lush greenery, towering trees, and breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Loved the city of Rocks!!! It provided an ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing me to reconnect with nature in the most delightful way possible. The accommodation itself was nothing short of extraordinary. Inside, I found a haven of comfort and style. One of the highlights of my stay was the impeccable service provided by the staff. They were attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. From the warm welcome upon arrival to the personalized recommendations for nearby activities, their hospitality was truly exceptional. The amenities offered at the site were equally impressive. If you're looking for a magical escape where comfort meets adventure, I wholeheartedly recommend this glamping site. It's an absolute gem that deserves every bit of its five-star rating.

  Scenic, escapism, adventure, mountainous, western.

  I had the adventure of a lifetime here! Camping right by the old California Trail near the city of rocks is memory I will never forget. The hosts made it so welcoming and comforting. If you truly want to get away and have a real adventure in the mountains, run, don’t walk here.

  Scenic. Quiet. Beautiful.

  I stayed for 4 days in the end of September. I enjoyed the ruggedness of it. The simplicity. But it was easy as well. Such a beautiful location for hiking and climbing. Went into town to the Tracy store for some food and stuff. Kind people all around. The owner takes good care.

  Comfortable, beautiful, & easy camping

  This was the best camping experience! I struggle camping because we have 9 kids and it takes too much work for me. This was amazing- they had everything we needed. The food was so delicious! The tents/rooms were big and beautiful! The beds were super comfy! And the Bates are the nicest people ever- they know all about the parks and their place is very close to City of Rocks and Castle Rocks! It was great to be able to just go enjoy time with my family without any of the stress. They are still developing everything- it is already awesome and it is only going to get better!

  Awesome sites

  This is a great campground. All the 65 sites are spread out throughout the park. So you will have some sort of awesome rocks near your site. I felt like a kid in a huge playground. Sites are small. No trailers over 25’. No cell service.

  Incredible views!

  We rolled in just for a night and I was pretty blown away by how beautiful the landscape is! Our map took us to the western entrance but we barely made it far down the road it was so gravely and wavy, our little trailer wasn’t handling it well. So we had to backtrack and drive an hour around the park to the other entrance. Only complaint is it was super difficult to find the pay station. We drove around a while looking for it. The views and little hike we took was awesome and we will definitely be back!

  Great camping experience!

  Excellent campground. Quiet and out of the way. Good privacy and clean and well kept facilities. It’s in an out of the way location which is one of the things we love about it but may not be everyone’s cup of tea. We very much enjoyed our stay there.

  Nice State Park

  First trip to this campground and we really liked it. Price was reasonable for electricity and water. Dump station nearby. We have bigger RV so some of the spots would not work. Make sure you use the filter to eliminate those with a smaller driveway. The restrooms were clean with nice showers. This campground is 40 miles or so from the interstate so make sure you are well provisioned before you arrive.

  AMAZING hidden gem in S. Idaho

  This place is unreal. We entered through the Western entrance and didn’t see a single soul the entire stay until we were driving out. The campsites are huge, and every one is unique. Depending on the type of lodging you have you’ll want to double check. We stayed in 38 (I can’t recall but it was in the high 30s) but it’s right by the famous window arch. We have a RTT and just backed up as close as we could to the camping area.

  There’s bathrooms in the larger parking lots, and no amenities that are we could find. But the VIEWS from the upper campsites are amazing. You can literally walk right out onto the rocks! We had to keep an eye on the dog but he was fine. Highly recommend this place.

  City of Rocks Campground — City of Rocks Natural Reserve

  Rare gem

  We only have one night here but what an amazing day. Huge assist to the perfect weather and lack of wildfire smoke, but the landscape of granite towers and ridges is a a nearly endless playground for all abled bodies to climb and explore. My kid brought her Bam Bam Flintstone and fit right in. Each campsite is thoughtfully placed within the park and most appear to have a perfect amount of privacy (we had 14). It’s probably been 20 years since we enjoyed such a great campground experience. Can’t recommend more highly.

  Twin Lakes Campground

  Great view and quiet

  We had a quiet campground nestled in the trees. Just a short walk away brings you to incredible views and cool rock formations. There is an outhouse but no running water and it’s a trash in/trash out campsite. We loved our stay and got great pictures.

  Safe & Many Amenities

  Stayed here on our way up to Boise. The campsite was convenient for us because it was close to the freeway. On the flip side that comes with vehicle traffic noise. There were places for both RV’s/campers and tents. The place was clean, well kept up and had tons of amenities including flushing toilets, showers, laundry, 2 playgrounds and a pool. Staff were very friendly. Not a scenic campground but was perfect for what we wanted and at a good price.

  Hidden gem

  We found this site on the Dyrt in looking for a stopover between Park city Utah and Boise Idaho. Wow, Bennet Springs is a hidden gem! We took the site at the eastern end and felt like we had the place to ourselves. Nice trail along the creek and wildflowers everywhere. The road is visible from camp but it it little traveled.

  Excellent Sunsets

  I visited City of Rocks last year for a day trip and knew I had to go back to camp this year! It’s an awesome overnight stop if you’re on a road trip or a great little weekend trip if you’re nearby. We didn’t do any long hikes and the hiking opportunities leave a little bit to be desired but the campsites completely make up for it. If you’re a climber you MUST visit - the visitors center sells climbing maps with all the route options and great breakdowns of difficulties, etc. Highly recommend site 043 - it’s about a 200 ft walk from the parking lot but it’s shaded and right next to a perfect rock to climb on to have dinner or watch a sunset overlooking the gorgeous valley and rock faces.

  Serene and peaceful

  This is my favorite place on the planet. The camp facilities are fairly primitive but there are pit/vault toilets available. I can not express how gorgeous the landscape is or how bright the stars are at night. Our campspot was #22. Not a ton of shade, but excellent views. You have to have cash to put in an envelope at Bath rock to pay for camping. I believe you can also reserve in advance if you are at least 4-5 days out. We slept with van doors open. No noise. No bugs. Just peace and quiet.

  A beautiful surprise in the desert!

  Caution:  Save yourself some time, dust and frustration and enter Smoky Mountain Campground into your GPS and not Castle Rock State Park like we did.  Haha.

  We were so surprised when we got to this campground. Private sites.   Clean.  Paved,  not gravel.  Not the most level we’ve been in but totally workable. 

  Bathrooms were clean.  Toliets are on one side of the building and individual shower rooms on the other.  All handicapped accessible and plenty of places to put you stuff so it stays dry. 

  Also, DARK Skies!!!  A star gazer’s dream. 

  Be sure you have gas before Sunday rolls around because the  one station around is closed on Sunday.   The next closest one is 1 hr away.  Speaking of, the Tracys General Store in Almo is really nice.  Gas, Cafe (even offered a vegan burger!) and other general supplies.  Rock City Pizza, just down the way, also has groceries. 

  We got caught in 3 different local cattle drives on the roads. It was so cool to watch real cowboys at work.  Oh, and I even saw a jack rabbit! They are a hoot!

  We were so surprised when we got to this campground. Private sites. Clean. Paved, not gravel. Not the most level we've been in but totally workable. Bathrooms were clean. Men and women's toliets are on one side of the building and individual shower rooms on the other. All handicapped accessible and plenty of places to put you stuff so it stays dry. There is also an equestrian loop with individual corrals.

  Also, DARK skies!!! A star gazer's dream.

  Be sure you have gas before Sunday rolls around because the one place to get gas, Tracy's General Store, is not open on Sundays. Tracy's also has a nice Cafe. They even offered a VEGAN burger. Progressive in this outof the way spoy. The pizza at City of Rocks Pizza is supposed to be really good, but only offered outdoor seating. It was 95 degrees, so we passed. But, they do serve beer and have a small grocery.

  Beautiful and unique campground with many different sites.

  Stayed: 5/13/2021

  Cost: $14/night plus $10 reservation fee 

  Site: 61

  Vehicle: Volkswagen Atlas

  Equipment: Tent

  AT&T and T-Mobile: No Service

  This is a very unique campground. Sites are dispersed throughout the entire park, as opposed to being condensed into one central location. It makes for some very unique and private sites - no two alike.

  We went for site 61 for two reasons. 1) It was the most private that was remaining, even though 2) it was very close to a bathroom. Most of the sites near bathrooms, were more grouped together. The bathroom itself is less than a 1 min walk from the site. We had one neighbor on the other side of us, but you could only see them if you walked by to go to the bathroom. I think that site 61 could be the most private of all, with site 63 having some of the most beautiful sunset views (pictured).

  This site was also nice, because it is tucked-in next to a large rock wall, blocking the wind coming from the north. Do be aware, that Area 7 of the campground (sites 61-64), are at a much higher elevation. Driving to the site from the main part of the park, we climbed over 1,000 feet (up a winding, dirt road), ending at 7,000+ feet. So, the temperature is going to be a little different than it is when you’re checking the weather in Almo. It was about a 10º difference when we were there.

  Overall, this is a very nice campground with a fire ring and picnic table. All pictures are from Site 61, with the exception of the sunset from Site 63.
