Best RV Parks & Resorts near Arco, ID

Arco's RV camping landscape features several established parks with varied hookup options. Mountain View RV Park maintains 44 paved sites with full hookups including 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections for motorhomes and travel trailers. "Big or small travelers fit well at this campsite," noted one visitor who appreciated the park's cleanliness and large off-leash dog area. The Craters of the Moon-Arco KOA operates seasonally from April through November with pull-through RV sites accommodating larger rigs, offering full hookups and amenities like showers, a swimming pool, and a small market. Moose Crossings RV Park in nearby Moore provides both 30 and 50-amp electrical hookups with water and sewer connections, though limited laundry facilities consist of just one washer and dryer.

Most RV parks in the area maintain proximity to Craters of the Moon National Monument, a popular destination for motorhome travelers. Weather conditions affect accessibility, with some parks closing water systems during winter months while maintaining electrical service. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region—AT&T users report decent coverage at the KOA with "3-4 bars of LTE with service up to 16 MB/s," while reception becomes sparse at parks closer to the monument. Dump stations are available at Mountain View RV Park and the KOA, with an additional free city dump station located near Honey's Park. Navigation challenges exist for larger motorhomes, particularly at Lava Flow Campground where a review noted "only a select number of sites suitable for large RVs or 5th wheels."

    Craters of the Moon-Arco KOA

    Fun holiday camping

    Great little campground with full hook ups, 30 or 50 Amp. Spaces for tent camping up to Class A motor homes. Several pull through spots, a few back in spots. The campground is well maintained and had friendly staff. Amenities included showers, restrooms, laundry, small store that sells firewood and propane among other necessities, ice cream social (for a donation) in the evening, free waffle breakfast in the morning, pet friendly with dog park, playground, and pool (although not super warm). Good activities in the area if you enjoy the high desert. We stayed on 4th of July weekend and even with a full park it didn't feel crowded.

    Star Hope

    Primitive camping in Copper Basin

    $10 (paid $5 with senior pass). First come, first served. Camped at site #10 in late September 2024. This primitive national forest campground was not busy during my visit. Copper Basin Loop Road accessing this campground, which has a gravel surface, was in good condition; there was some washboarding in a few places. The campground has a lower loop and an upper loop. The campground has a mix of pull-through and back-in sites; some leveling may be reuired in some sites. Site #10 is a short gravel pull-thru in the upper loop, good fit for my campervan, although very close to the campground road. There is a short path from the site driveway down to a picnic table and metal fire ring. The ground is a little chewed up from voles and cow hooves. Tent and hammock camping are possible. This site has partial shade; others in the loop are open. Little privacy between sites. Depending on the site, you can get a view of Copper Basin from the upper loop. The upper loop has two clean vault toilet facilities; I didn't use the vault toilet in the lower loop, but assume that it is clean. There is a hand water pump in both loops but shut down for the season during our visit. Trout fishing in nearby Star Hope Creek was pretty good; it's about a 1/4 mile walk from my campsite. No T-Mobile or AT&T cell service. Overall, a pretty campground; mostly wooded. I would camp here again. Boondocking is also possible along the Copper Basin Loop Rd.

    Group Campground — Craters of the Moon National Monument

    Awesome, different campground

    Thank you Elon for Starlink else I could not stay here. Zut Verizon or Cricket ( cricket sometime showed 1 bar but not usable)

    Great campground, friendly staff. No hookups but potable water available.

    The National Monument is so different. The stark, barren countryside is so rugged it’s beautiful

    Not that many big rig sites, so pity it’s only fcfs, especially as it is so remote.

    Loved the visit

    Did not use facilities so cannot comment on them

    $$$$. If you do not have a pass ( like, America the Beautiful which you can apparently buy onsite ) there will be a daily access fee.

    Lava Flow Campground — Craters of the Moon National Monument

    Cool campground located among the lava flow

    Located right by the entrance station, this campground has 42 sites, with only a select number suitable for large RVs or 5th wheels(although we encountered a large RV coming toward us that necessitated us backing into an empty site)! It was very windy the day we were here but don’t know if that is typical. Flush toilets but no showers; typical of national park campgrounds. No hookups or dump station. Sites are surrounded by lava rocks; some were very nice but others not as much (sites 1-5 are right by (and I mean RIGHT BY) the entrance station). Sites 34, 35, 42, and 3 are fully accessible and site 34 has an electrical outlet for use by those with medical needs. Open April-November, weather dependent but water only available in peak months. Limited to no cell service (Verizon). $15 during peak season (half price for senior pass holders and when there is no water). No fee during April and November if open.

    Joe T. Fallini Campground

    Fabulous !

    We enjoyed our stay here so much, we stayed an extra couple of days! This is a well-kept, well-designed BLM campground. Some spaces have shade trees, some do not. Many provide nice views of the lake. Sites are all paved as are the roads (no dust). They all have fire pits and picnic tables - some with shade covers. Lots of pull through sites. Each site has water and electricity. There is a RV dump within the campground. Can’t beat it for $14 per night! Our Verizon cellphone services wasn’t very good, but that’s my only complaint.

    Lava Flow Campground — Craters of the Moon National Monument

    Gorgeous Sites

    This is the coolest campground. Nestled in the lava flow in the National Park. We have a 30ft TT and arrived at the park around 1pm and had no issues finding a spot. Nice private pull through with grill and picnic table. Not much shade (as expected) and can get windy so watch your awnings. Most people seemed to arrive in the evening. Beautiful location as others have said but it is dry camping and FCFS.

    Honeys Park

    Free camping

    I happened upon Honeys Camping area. Scar is the owner of the property and a very kind man. He has 2 rules to stay on his property, you need to speak to him before you enter, and you need to come outside and join all the campers at dusk and stand for the Star Spangled Banner. He does not have any water, but he does have 30 amp electric sites. It is an open field with beautiful views of the mountains. You can get water and also dump your trailer at the free city dump station very close to the campground.

    Joe T. Fallini Campground

    Beautiful reservoir but always windy

    The reservoir is great year round. Fun ice fishing in the winter and big enough for boating in the summer. Just beware that it is almost ALWAYS windy there. It’s great winter camping though because they still have power hook ups and open outhouses that are decently clean.

    Lava Flow Campground — Craters of the Moon National Monument

    Cool Campground Surrounded by Lava

    Scenic and cool campsite smack in the middle of the lava beds of Craters of the Moon National Monument. Interesting information center within a quick walking distance with lots of national park rangers and activities.

    Campsites are pretty small, but many are surrounded by LAVA. That said, very little shade, so if it’s the summer, it will be very hot.

    Water, toilets, all available. RVs allowed but no hook-ups. No fire pits, but they do have charcoal grills available.

    Very cool lava flow hikes and formations all around.
