"Location great close to town for shopping and stay the night if you’re heading to the Tetons. Does not have any access to snake river. The showers were hot. Has a cute little snack and gift shop."
"Short drive from the campground to some restaurants, gas stations, grocery store, etc in the area. There are 2 bar/grills walking distance from the campground. Has a Heated pool."
"We were pleasantly surprised by this gem of a campground just outside Idaho Falls, which we used for one night on our trip through the area. The bathrooms were clean and showers were a nice touch."
"About 20 minutes from Idaho Falls."
$15 / night
"Not sure when they made that change but I wouldn’t say it’s quite worth that given proximity to highways and trains."
"Right on the snake river and great food close by."
$80 - $100 / night
"We recently stayed at Idaho Falls Luxury RV Resort and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The staff was incredible, helpful, and kind."
"Nice change with all the grass around the asphalt site pads. There is access to a walkway along the Snake river that heads to downtown."
"Great spot just 45 minutes out of Idaho Falls. Lots of sites, many are right by the river. There are a few bathrooms along the road but may be a bit of a hike from some sites."
"Lots of firewood seems to be lying around to gather as well, a nice bonus. The surrounding area has a lot of trails and other outdoor things to get into."
"However, Lakeside RV a block away has a dump station for $5 and there is a Sinclair nearby that also has a dump station for $5 and they refill propane tanks and I hear they have the best prices around."
"Love this campground -$30 for an RV, water and power (no dump), lakeside spots, and plenty of shade."
"This is a great location and you can't beat the price at $25 a night for full hookups."
"And it is the best price around here, for a full hook up camp ground."
"Nearby to hot springs, off roading/short hikes/mountain or dirt biking trails and areas. Only $5/night with your National Parks Pass."
"Not to big but it's next to the river not uncomon for a deer or a moose to walk through camp it is dry camping but well maintained through the summer there is a camp host."
$35 - $45 / night
"Close to hot springs and Idaho Falls."
"This is a tucked away little spot close to the Snake River, that feels totally peaceful and calm."
"Seems like it fills completely full on weekends, but is quiet in the week. 15-20 minutes from Idaho Falls, but you feel like you’re in the boonies. Would come back again!"
"This is a great location. Easy access."
GuideClose to the Hwy over Teton Pass; but the last mile is clay road & (b/c of recent rain cell) it coated our vehicle. And, this is the trailhead; we encountered pack horses coming off the trail— they were quick to load & be gone. l””"””””We realized that the site we’d chosen under the trees was rather chilly, especially with the retreating sun. (Elevation was not totally realized by us since it was rather gradual.). We moved to where the horse trailer had been parked in a site w/ turn-around and were cosy ‘til the sun retreated. Temps estimated in 30s overnight. There was 1 other campervan using this area but then a couple passenger cars came in later.
GuideAbsolutely no signage on where to pull off the road. But, we found it. A little rutted coming off the highway. Area is very flat and easy to navigate.
Did not venture farther in because just needed a place to park.
No services.
ScoutGreat spot! Definitely a lot of road noise as you are right by the highway but tons of space and some trees and small ponds. Wouldn’t stay here for long but a good pit stop.
ScoutI CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW THE CAMP HOST WAS SO VERY RUDE! The grounds were fine, but the incident that occurred at Juniper Campground in Ririe, Idaho, on the evening of Saturday, September 13, 2025 left a very bitter taste in our mouths about the trip. What was intended to be a joyful family outing turned into a distressing experience due to the conduct of the camp host. My father-in-law and his wife had made a reservation at Juniper Campground for the weekend and invited my family to join them--myself, my two sons, and our grandchildren. We were all excited to spend quality time together and to try out our newly purchased travel trailers. As first-time trailer owners, this was meant to be a fun and educational experience before the camping season ended. Unfortunately, I had previously purchased concert tickets for an event at Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls scheduled for Saturday evening. My sons and I decided to briefly leave the campground to attend the concert and return afterward. We left in the early evening and returned around 10:20 PM. Upon arrival, we found the second entry gate--through which we had originally entered--locked with a padlock. We then drove to the first gate, which had rising arms and red LED lights, but it did not respond. I exited the vehicle to search for an intercom or manual override, but found none. While attempting to look up a contact number, a white truck with an orange cone in the back approached rapidly. The driver, who identified himself as the camp host, immediately confronted me in an aggressive and profane manner. He shouted,"What the hell are you doing at my gate?" I calmly explained that we were campers returning from a concert and were trying to re-enter the campground. He responded with hostility, saying,"The gates are locked at 10 PM. Didn't you read the rules?" I replied that we had not received any rules, as my 78-year-old father-in-law had checked in first and inadvertently failed to pass them along while we were focused on setting up our trailers. The host continued to berate me, accusing me of lying and using profanity such as"Bullsh*t, everybody receives the rules." When asked for our campsite number, I was momentarily unsure, as my father-in-law had directed us to our spot upon arrival. While I searched for the information, the host continued to question our motives, saying,"Why are you leaving and returning to the campsite this time of night?" I explained our concert plans, only to be met with further disbelief and ridicule. He mocked my Van Halen t-shirt and claimed,"Nobody goes camping to leave for a concert," and"Those bands sucked. The last time I saw Van Halen was in 1979." At this point, I attempted to clarify our situation, but the host warned me that if I raised my voice, he would not allow us back into the campground. After locating a screenshot of our reservation details, I showed it to him. He finally allowed us entry and handed me a printed copy of the rules, stating,"Next time, read the rules." This interaction left me feeling humiliated, belittled, and treated as though I were a criminal. The camp host's behavior was not only unprofessional but bordered on harassment. I understand the importance of rules and quiet hours, but they should be enforced with courtesy and respect--not hostility and profanity. I am deeply disappointed by this experience and will not be returning to Juniper Campground. I'm leaving this review to ensure others are aware of the treatment we received. Guests deserve to feel safe and welcomed--not intimidated or verbally abused.
ScoutWe stumbled upon this place last minute and it was a gem! The grounds are gorgeous, clean, and quiet.
TravelerVery well laid out gated park. Spacious, clean restrooms (toilet /shower). Great laundry located in same block as restrooms. Each site has a picnic table and our had built in charcoal BBQ, heaters and chairs.. Couldn't fault anything about this park, they have thought of everything.
TravelerIncredible Mountain View’s. Several pull outs on gravel road. Not a problem with 24’ Class C. There are other trials for ATVs but plenty of nice spots for RVs or tents!
TravelerUpdate-now private property signs have been put up all over just past the first opening so you can’t get to the open area that is good for larger RVs. Have 24’ class C and the dip to get into the camping area was steep and tipping. Couldn’t see river from area as it was very overgrown. Should have taken a picture before we left, but we were in too big of a hurry to get out of there and find a spot for the night.
ScoutMy wife and I stayed one night in July 2023. We tend to drive and stop whenever we feel tired of driving. We were looking for a site, and every campground was full. We called the number at, 'The Park' and were told we could use their overflow site. It was perfect for us, very quiet and private.
The hosts were friendly and welcoming. We talked while going through the tour of the facilities and were told the history of the location, and their plans for the future.
My wife and I travel covering 4000 miles through the upper western US. There are a few campgrounds/RV locations which stand out to us. This is one of the places we've talked about taking a detour just to visit again. I encourage anyone in the area to check them out.
