"Nice little gem of a bare bones city camp site next to Snake River. No hook ups. There is a dump site, fresh water and toilets. There is a small boat launch."
"Picnic tables, bbq, and fire pits at each site. A few sites are right along the water and we were lucky enough to snag one - beautiful sunset on the water. Basic flush toilets were clean."
"Very clean, even the pit toilet bathroom was clean. 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."
"Our timing worked out for the Idaho Falls area and Wolverine Canyon came up as an option. It’s all paved road until you get to the mouth of the Canyon, then it’s a well maintained gravel road."
"About thirty minutes outside of Blackfoot before you hit gravel road. We only drove a short distance on gravel before we parked in a wide spot that had a fire pit."
$35 - $48 / night
"It's on Wakeside Lake in Rexburg. The lake is good for boating, or if you have a paddle board that would be fun. The sites are level gravel and full hookups, 30 Amp. Most sites are shades."
"We were at the grand Tetons and had racked up some laundry and needed to chill for a couple of days before heading to Glacier. The sites here are very spacious and mostly level. They are gravel."
"We love that we’re camping on real grass(not gravel or dirt), and the large fire pits make evenings around the campfire feel extra special."

$68 - $135 / night
"The staff are very cordial and have empathy. I love it. Clean. Courtesy. And safe"
"This campground has a blend of cabins mixed with the RV sites so it has a ton of added value with the heated pool/hottub, laundry, showers looked decent and my personal favorite… they have little s’more"
"Large, clean, individual bathrooms with showers. The sites are large enough and flat, but fairly close and many sites don't have a table. They also appeared to be doing a lot of construction."
$79 - $209 / night
"The grounds are superb with on-site restaurant & laundry (free laundry — a first!). The owners are great, very attentive. AND we woke up to see a moose up close & personal!"
"A pub for dinner, breakfast for guests. Horses! It has it all!"
ScoutWe stayed the first night in the glamping tent 'Eagles rest.' We were thankful for the space heater that was in there (Stayed here May 17/2025) it got down to just above freezing that night. It was SO COZY though!! There were lots of blankets, free drinks upon arrival and free coffee at an adorable upscale coffee hut on property. The bathhouse was very clean, with a fun games room and washers and dryers. We hiked close by the next day, ate in town, loved it so much we booked in last minute again cause we didn't want to leave. The manager Biz put us in a king suit with a large picture window facing the Tetons 😍. We were spoiled rotten and so thankful for every moment.
ScoutIt's on Wakeside Lake in Rexburg. The lake is good for boating, or if you have a paddle board that would be fun. The sites are level gravel and full hookups, 30 Amp. Most sites are shades.
Nice laundry facility, bathrooms and showers.
They have glamping tents, and cabins available on Airbnb
GuideEasy to find. 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. Fenced in dog areas. we were just there for one night while we were passing through. So im not sure how the amenities were, i never used any of them. I thought it was actually on the snake river when i booked it. But its not quite on the river. Lol but it was still a nice stay for the night. The staff was friendly, and the lady at the desk gave me a little stuffed snake for staying at “snake river”. It was cute.
TravelerVery nice and quaint campground. Smaller tent sites and large double tent or trailer sites. Right on the river, good for fishing. Very clean, even the pit toilet bathroom was clean. Nearby to hot springs, off roading/short hikes/mountain or dirt biking trails and areas. Only $5/night with your National Parks Pass. Dog friendly and awesome fire pits (clean and not warped racks for grilling) We will definitely be back.
ScoutWe needed a spot to spend the night on our way back to Montana. Our timing worked out for the Idaho Falls area and Wolverine Canyon came up as an option. It’s all paved road until you get to the mouth of the Canyon, then it’s a well maintained gravel road. A few washboard spots but easy to tow a trailer even 30 ft long. Most camp spots are right off of the main gravel road. Saw several camps set up over Memorial Day weekend, and we didn’t have a problem finding a spot for the night. Lots of spots have some wear and tear from target shooting, previous camping, ruts in mud, etc, but more than suitable for a boondocking setup. Be sure to pay attention to BLM boundaries, as there is some checkerboard ownership with private lands and the fence boundaries aren’t always signed. Beautiful setting! Lush, green, rugged rock cliffs along the drive.
TravelerAbout thirty minutes outside of Blackfoot before you hit gravel road. We only drove a short distance on gravel before we parked in a wide spot that had a fire pit. We could hear the babbling creek all night. So soothing. So quiet. Poor cell service.
RangerThis campground has a blend of cabins mixed with the RV sites so it has a ton of added value with the heated pool/hottub, laundry, showers looked decent and my personal favorite… they have little s’more bags that they give you and do little community bonfires each night 😊 Sites don’t have a ton of space between them but the mountains are all around gorgeous and felt safe!
RangerThis was our third time at Heise Hot Springs, and every time we go—it just gets better. Our kids love it, we love it, and the entire place feels like a peaceful, family-friendly escape.
We love that we’re camping on real grass(not gravel or dirt), and the large fire pits make evenings around the campfire feel extra special. The hot springs are just a short walk from the campground, which is a huge bonus when you’ve got kids(or tired feet). Whether we’re grabbing pizza, ice cream, or hitting the restaurant, everything is close and super convenient.
The campsites are wide open and well-spaced, giving you breathing room and views—not neighbors on top of you. Drivers are respectful and go slow for kids, which is huge in our book. One of the best moments? A staff member picked up me and the kids and gave us a lift back to our camper—friendly, thoughtful, and exactly the kind of service that makes this place stand out.
It’s also close to Idaho Falls if you need to make a run for supplies, but honestly, once you’re here, you really don’t need much. They’ve thought of everything.
The only thing that truly sucked—and obviously nothing to do with Heise itself—was hearing that President Trump had been shot while we were camping. It was a heavy moment during an otherwise joyful weekend. We’ll never forget where we were when we heard that news.
Heise remains one of our favorite spots to unwind, reconnect, and make memories. We’ll absolutely be back again—and again.
GuideNice little gem of a bare bones city camp site next to Snake River. No hook ups. There is a dump site, fresh water and toilets. There is a small boat launch. A few back in sites but mostly just pull next to the side sites with picknick table and fire pit. 16 campsites. Some tent campers. No reservations, just first come first serve. No wifi. AT&T was LTE with 2 and sometimes 3 bars. Train tracks nearby with loud train noise twice during the night. Because it is a city open park there are people occasionally driving through. No security but there is a camp host. As of Sept 2024 the price is$18 per night.
