  Bench Creek Campground

  Quiet but no services

  Up near the top of the pass is Bench Creek campground. There are only 6 sites on this lollipop loop, all on the non-highway side. But you can hear the highway from everywhere in the campground. Sites 2, 3, and 4 back up nicely to the creek. Vault toilet but no water or trash, so pack in pack out. Across the highway are some OHV trails, so you will also get some of that noise in the day. Every site has the standard picnic table and fire pit, but fire season is real, so maybe skip the fire.

  Waters Edge RV Resort

  Right next to the lake!

  Clean, leveled, friendly, only 1/4 mile to their downtown. Friendly and helpful staff, showers, toilets, beach area for swimming WITH lounge chairs, swimming right in front, volleyball court, dog walking trails, fire pits, horse shoe play area, etc! Only wish I was able to do laundry but coming back again! Oh and the best part, great fishing under the bridge!

  Arrowhead RV Park on the River

  Friendly staff

  Fun REC for kids, playground, and party fire pit area. Individual spots were extremely tight. Employee had to help us park (even though we didn't feel like we needed it).

  Beautiful Trees and Gorgeous Payette River

  We stayed for one night on a road trip West. Nice paved drive on our site, a big groomed flat spot for a tent, a nice fire pit with cooking grate, and sturdy picnic table.  Our site was right on the Payette River, and we enjoyed watching some inflatable boats go by.  Pit toilets were highly acceptable, and we could also wade right into the shallows of the river.  Would stay again!

  Boise Riverside RV Park

  Friendly convenient stay by the river

  Feels like a little oasis tucked in behind the fairground and baseball stadium. The green belt and river run right by it. Super friendly staff. Variety of site types. Excellent laundry and shower facilities open 24/7.

  Boise National Forest Helende Campground

  Close to Lowman

  Nice little campground with less than a dozen sites. Everything is very flat here so no worries about finding a level site. The river is nearby but there is no real access here. Go down the road a bit and you will have some nice water access. The campground is clean and maintained, with the usual picnic tables and fire pits. No dedicated tent pads, but lots of cushy pine needles for under your tent. Lots of trees that are good for hammocks, just know that you might get a drop or two of pine sap dripping on you. Pop down to the Lowman ranger station down river a few miles to get some good maps; while you are at it, stop in at the Lowman Inn for some killer pizza.

  Boise Riverside RV Park

  Customer service is really bad

  We stayed at this park in Sept 2022.  We decided to make a reservation again in 2023 because the best part of this park is you are right next to the green belt.  Unfortunately, This place is run with a "like it or not, we don't care" attitude.  Toni, who runs the place, has terrible customer service skills and there is no room for negotiation.  We made a reservation on Mar 17, 2023 for 8 days in August, 5 months in advance and we cancelled on April 2, 2023, within 2 weeks of making the reservation in the first place.  We were required to pay a $300 deposit which is non-refundable.  Their non-refundable policy, is to make up for money lost because a site was tied up, but for this reservation it was tied up for only 2 weeks, so I'm pretty certain they didn't lose money.  We have tried to reach out to Toni by phone at least 10 times.  Once, we even got her husband and he promised us he would have her call us.  Nope.  Never happened.  The customer service rating is because Toni will not return a call and refuses to negotiate.  She won't give the common courtesy to work something out with her.  She really doesn't care what you think or even your side of the problem.   Not a good way to run a business. Like I said, if you ride bikes and like the greenbelt its a okay place to stay but make sure you don't put a $300 deposit down.  The entire park is gravel/dirt roads except for some lawn that a few small campspots are on.  There are lots of residents staying long term in very old and run down trailers.  Kind of junky.  Be careful if you decide to stay here and for sure don't make a reservation for more than a couple of days so you don't lose your deposit.

  Waters Edge RV Resort

  Friendly and convenient

  We returned here after staying a few years ago. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Sites are pretty level. Campground within walking distance to town, good river front area. Fairly quiet, we will come again!

  Caldwell Campground and RV Park

  Surprisingly Good

  Approx, 10-12 Grassy Tent sites, with shady trees, on a small 6 acre lake with entertaining ducks that do not beg for food. Lol. Lots of RV sites with full hook ups, including, 105 long term users. The showers and toilets were clean with lots of hot water. Laundry room with 6 washers and 6 dryers. A little road noise from l-84. 2 miles from shopping and fuel. Friendly staff. Surprisingly good, as this was our first “private” campground we’ve ever stayed at. $27.00, including tax, per day.
