"At first we were not sure about this campground based on location. We were pleasantly surprised! The staff were very friendly and accommodating."
"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."
"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."

"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."
"Stayed on the upper loop, lots of hiking, great campsites with fire pits. Very nice staff and we'll maintained facilities."
"This beautiful state park is located right off of the freeway about 7 miles outside of American Falls, Idaho."
"We parked our 34 ft motor home right next to a river waterfall and did some fishing. A fire pit was already established. Excellent spot right outside of town with good cell service."
"It's a no frills campground with 8 sites with tables and fire pits. There is a pit toilet in the picnic area (a very short walk)."

"Kid, pet friendly, walking distance to food and fun. One of the best KOA’s we have stayed at."

"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."
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
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.
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.
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.
GuideA bit run down. Picnic table covered in bird poop. Site seemed washed out. Kinda sandy. No firepit or grill at my site. Pub and grill next door for wine, beer and basic bar food, arcade, family friendly. Verizon service was good. Wifi terrible. General store was poorly stocked. The area seemed industrial. Staff was nice. Bathroom was clean.
TravelerStayed on the upper loop, lots of hiking, great campsites with fire pits. Very nice staff and we'll maintained facilities.
