    Idaho Falls Luxury RV Park

    They thought of everything

    Large spaces with plenty of room between. Clean and paved. Only complaint is super loud railroad tracks, but they give you ear plugs lol.

    Alpine

    Beautiful!

    This area is stunning. The campground is clean and shaded, and sites are spaced nicely, clean bathrooms. Site levels vary. Excellent Verizon coverage.Campground hosts went out of their way to help us find the site that would suit our needs when we were having issues with our camper. Really great brewery in town, too. Would stay again for sure.

    Indian Creek

    Free dispersed camping great for dogs

    Wide open prairie down to low water level reservoir. A little noisy during business hours because there's a highway surrounding site. We're at the lowest part of the highway so there's climbs on both sides. You can hear trucks, engine braking and engines roaring. There are lots of fire rings widely. Early September there were only about four or five campers out here. Got a little chilly at night but nothing. The sleeping bags wouldn't handle. There are two clean concrete pit toilets. There's a little bit of marshy area with water running.

    Moose Creek Ranch

    What a spot!

    This place is special. The people are nice. The facility is wonderful. A pub for dinner, breakfast for guests. Horses! It has it all!

    Teton Peaks Resort

    Economical and simple

    Clean with nice office staff. However, this is a lot with a variety of guests…tricks, workers, short term and long term. 1 bathroom toilet! Let’s call it a reasonable place to shut down for 1 night!

    Great stop near Victor and Jackson

    Lovely FS campground. We easily found a spot for our 26ft travel trailer on a Thursday in August around 3:30PM. There are many trails nearby, the sites are spaced fairly well and the restrooms are clean. We’re in site 12 and it could fit up to a 30’ trailer I’d guess.

    Moose Creek Trailhead Dispersed Area

    Literally perfect

    The site is close to the highway, but like other reviewers mentioned, all you really hear is the little river running right next to the campsite, which was super peaceful. The river was very cold, but it felt great for a quick dip after a long day hiking in the Tetons. Since Idaho is currently under a burn ban, we couldn’t use the really nice fire pit, but the site did have a bear box which was great for peace of mind. Overall, a very solid camping spot

    Riverside Park Campground

    Riverfront spot

    This was perfect. I got a spot right on the bank of the Snake River. It has all the basics.. a picnic table, fire ring, most sites also have bear boxes for food storage; there are vault toilets, firewood for sale, and potable water available.

    $20/ night for sites, $40 for some sites that are double tables/parking.

    I didn’t have any neighbors, and I would guess maybe only a quarter of the sites were occupied. In the evening it did get a little annoying with lots of moth‘s flying everywhere. They seem to like to land on my white truck and I had to cover my food while I cooked, and kept the tent closed. Not a big deal, but they were noticeable.

    While not this campground per se I thought it’s worth mentioning that just across the river there are also a large number of free dispersed campsites, some right on the river, some along the road as you travel away from the river. To get to the bridge you still take the Riverside Campground exit off the highway below the damn. Pass the campground cross the bridge and you’ll see them on your right for about a mile. I didn’t stay there. It looks like they have firings and nothing else but they’re free and plentiful.
