Best Glamping near Bliss, ID

Great hot spring camp site. They have different pools of varying temperatures, alligators, trees and plenty of room for each site. I stop by every time I swing through Idaho.

Fort Running Bear RV Park, Idaho

If you like the middle of nowhere, you will like Fort Running Bear RV Park. It is approximately 32 miles to the middle of nowhere, the last three are on a dirt road. You are driving through scrub country with no trees and hills in the distance. Then you see a copse of trees in the distance. That is where you end up. This is an older campground, private and family run. There is a shower house attached to the swimming pool and a laundry room. The sites have room around them for tents, bikes, etc; a covered picnic table , most have shade and fire rings. There are full hookup sites and basic sites. When we visited the wind was wiping through the area. The owners are personable and friendly, the campground is well maintained. The shower house ...clean and a little old. This would be a nice place to spend a quiet weekend or time with the family. It would not make sense to use this campground for a base camp due to the distance from anywhere.

We just went to 1000 springs this past weekend. A total of 12 of us in two separate spots. One right on the water and the other in the middle section in the tent camping area. The water was wonderful and we were able to paddle over to Ritter island on our paddle boards. The campsites are decent size but way to close together where you are basically on top of the camp site next to you. We didn't use any of the amenities such as the pool because the weather was warm and the river was cool. The dock off our campsite could have used a little TLC, I got splinters just from touching it. The portable bathrooms were clean when we got there and full and dirty when we left. You can only have one car per campsite and the rest have to be parked elsewhere which the spots really aren't big enough for a car and multiple tents. But would definitely go back again.

i loved my campsite on the water….got afternoon shade. nice wifi signal. i am surprised that they don’t offer showers or running water, since it is available in abundance. i think it is silly that you have to pay extra for the pool. this place is great but overpriced

The Campground was very nice green grass with beautiful big trees by the Snake River. The nice thing about camping in October was the fact that we were the only tent campers. It appears to be much busier with warm weather. There are beautiful views of the waterfalls across the river from the Campground. The campsite is a bit spendy at $25 a night per tent compared to other campgrounds nearby that are $20 a night for up to 5 tents. The customer service was not very good as when we arrived they gave us a deal on camping since we were the only 3 families, only for the next day an employee to harrass us about not paying enough. She would not back off and was very rude. Several hours later she verified we were in fact given the deal but was still rude and seemed mad. The pool is great but a bit chilly for my liking of a hot spring with no hot tub to relax unless you pay for the private rooms.

We just stopped for one night as we were traveling through, and we camped at the edge of the Snake River. The campground was average dry camping, but this trip wasn't about the amenities, we were out to see the natural beauty of the Snake River Plain. The view across the river to the falls and Ritter Island were beautiful! The weather was chilly the day were were there, so the indoor geothermal pool and tubs were the ticket. Our kids loved it!

The snake river and the 1,000 Springs are beautiful. Having the opportunity to camp alongside the winding Snake, while watching the sun rise and set over the springs and hear their thundering in the quiet of the night was an amazing opportunity. We brought tubes, life vests, and ropes to tie the tubes to the dock, and we let the kids float in the river. They loved bouncing around on the waves as speed boats passed by. The sites are pretty shady which was a relief from the blazing, hot sun.

FYI: cell service anywhere in the canyon is sketchy at best. The campground provides WiFi—but it doesn’t carry strength very far past the main building.

I’m not sure that I expected more from the “resort” before I arrived, but I did find the overall care and management of the property to be disappointing, although the staff was friendly.

For starters, the sites were cramped and campers really have to hope for good neighbors. The only water pump was a hike for most tents. When we arrived, we found our fire bowl filled with trash and ash. We had to remove the garbage and did our best to prevent to ash from choking our charcoal.

One couple was given one site for their first night and then asked to move, without advance warning at check in, per convenience of management. It’s a lot of work to set alone camp, let alone having to do it again.

It felt campers were nickled and dimed at pricey rates for ice, wood, etc., and even the fee to swim in the pool. There are signs everywhere reminded the visitor that this or that is extra.

The facility feels like it was built in 1960 and not maintained since. The camp bathroom/shower was filthy, and the though if using it made us fell dirtier than clean. I’m pretty adaptable, I live my showers, but skipping the shower seems like a good option.

The geothermal swimming pool was nice. It was really warm—like a mild hot tub or super warm bath. There are hot mineral baths that we didn’t try because they cost even more than it cost us to swim in the pool.

I would like the campground a lot more if they reinvested at least a portion of all those fees into their facility to maintain the premises.

While totally not the fault of management, the campground can be subject to really high winds. During our stay a full night and day of high winds caused many tents to completely collapse. Be advised so you can be prepared.

Would I go back? Maybe.

Big party spot on the Snake river!

This is the campground that all the boaters and jet skiers head to so they can use the boat put in ramp. The camp sites are on the water but are super compacted and loud.

The only bonus of this site is that you are across the street from Ritter Island and the springs and waterfalls that are transporting over 200 year hidden underground spring water.

It is a beautiful site if you have a boat or kayak to get around the island. The springs are connected in an indoor pool with slides and water play which makes it great for families.

As for camping, bring your ear plugs. This campground is a nonstop party, we ended up moving up the road to a smaller hot spring just to be able to sleep. I would only us this location as a take out point or a car drop off is you are doing a Snake River float trip. But even as you get close to this location, watch out for jet skiers that will try and take you out. There are no regulations around here it seems.

We enjoyed our stay at Intermountain RV. The park was clean, and the owners were extremely helpful and accommodating. There was plenty of space. We would definitely recommend this park in Wendell, as it is easy on and off the interstate.

Close to freeway - definite road noise. If your site is near dump station you will have a strong sewer smell. Wifi unreliable.

A lot of trees are dead or gone. The office person has never heard of The Dyrt app, so no discount. 30 amp electric & water for 39 a night. Think it's on it's way down. Hope they prove me wrong. Oh! It is nestled between the freeway & the railroad tracks. Quaint.

When I arrived, the place is a smallish cute rv park. I went to dinner and came back and the whole park smelled like sewage. The office was closed, so I couldn’t ask if it was there dump tank or another source. Nonetheless, it smelled horrible.

We stayed a week in July, and the green trees in the pictures are all dead skeletons now with no shade at all. There is a constant smell of a combination of septic and farm compost. The one advantage was an onsite parts store and repair shop.

Let me start by saying my husband and I are outdoorsy people. We’ve lived in our van, we’ve lived at sea, we are used to rustic conditions. I booked Miracle hot springs group campsite after reading many many raving reviews on the the Dyrt, Google, etc. HOW no one commented on the nose hair singing cow feces smell in the area? HOW no one has mentioned the thousands swarming flies? In October? Is beyond me. The pools were completely packed on Halloween weekend. Barely enough space to park and certainly not enough space to quietly enjoy a rural hot spring. The one redeeming quality of the place was that the gentleman who checked us in was very kind. It was not enough for us to want to stay around however and we left immediately afterwards in search of a new place to stay. Book with caution.

Let's just say we aren't going back. 6 viable spots to camp, one next to the bathrooms and garage cans, one next to the highway and 3 in the middle crammed together. One tree for shade. They haven't put money into the place since inception and while the swimming area is good for a day trip if you are already close by (lots of locals) I wouldn't call this a destination. The river is near by so lots of kayaking is available.
