    Mountain Home RV Park

    Very nice and organized park

    They greet you when you arrive and show you to your spot. All spots are paved with nice grass strip. Dog parks in two different areas. There are plenty of trees to keep the rv shaded. Walking distance to Walmart.

    Oregon Trail Campground

    Very friendly and helpful staff.

    We stayed at Oregon Trail Campground in Twin Falls, Idaho in September 2021. This park is a FHU pull-thru site and also has back-in sites. Our site was flat and level and a snap to set up our fifth wheel. The staff here was very nice and helpful with restaurant recommendations. The only negative for us was that we had to take our pets to the pet area, which was at the far corner of the park, and pets are not allowed to potty on any trees or shrubs. Signs were everywhere stating this. It was difficult to get our dogs quickly to the dog area, which is very small and swampy, when they really had to pee. Other than that we enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here again. If you would like to see videos on this park and others, please visit our YouTube channel: Jeff & Steff’s Excellent Adventure.

    Bruneau Dunes State Park Campground

    Wide Open Spaces

    While the sites themselves leave much to be desired, Bruneau is awesome. The camp hosts have been there for 7 years and are super friendly and helpful. The restrooms are in tip-top shape and there are several features that made this an awesome spot for our family-a dog park within walking distance, open grassy space for playing whiffle ball, etc and the ability to ride bikes to the Dunes-about 1 mile from the Broken Wheel site. It does get super windy though. And although we have only been in the fall and spring, I have heard you really cannot walk on the sand in the summer-too hot! Overall, we love it.

    Mountain Home RV Park

    Greenery in the desert

    Very nice well maintained rv park. Lots of spaces but fills up fast. Original spots have very nice green grass with mature trees. New area is coming along great, nice grass with growing trees. Lots of activities here, pool, children s play area, dog park, basketball court, gym and nice laundry room. Showers and restrooms very clean.

    Twin Falls-Jerome KOA

    Quiet but close quarters

    Road noise is minimal depending on where you are in the RV park. Love the amenities for everyone (playground, dog parks, pool, mini golf, etc). Full hook ups available. $45 w/KOA membership (10% off), pull-through, full hook-ups. Would stay again. Very friendly and helpful family who run it. Only downside is shared pull-throughs: Literally looking in the window of our neighbors on driver’s side. There are cabins here.

    Mountain Home RV Park

    Nicest RV Park I've Ever Been To

    I've been a full-timer for several years now and have stayed in many parks. This is by far the cleanest, nicest park I have ever seen. The sites are wide, spacious and clean. Lush green grass and shady mature trees at every site. All concrete pads. Private bathrooms with showers! The dog park is stunning. The roads are paved and there's not a single piece of gravel in sight! You really have to see this place to believe it. It's like a little neighborhood!

    Mountain Home RV Park

    Campground Well Done

    This review is written from a short stay versus a destination campground(CG) perspective. The CG was easy to find, and we followed the instructions in the arrival email to park in front of the office and stay in the vehicle, and somebody would come to us. We did that, and Shelley came out and asked our name, got our package, and escorted us to FHU site 36. We got the normal check-in information at the site versus in the office, which was a nice twist. The site was plenty long enough for our 40’ fifth wheel and F450. The utilities were in the middle of the pad, plus they had two sewer connections, which was nice for us as we have two sewer connections. As advertised, the water pressure was 60+ psi, so we used our reducer. There are trees here, but we were able to use our Starlink. The WiFi was okay, and we got four bars on Verizon. They have two nice fenced dog parks and two laundry facilities. This is one of the better short-stay CGs we have stayed in. This could easily be a destination CG and if we were to rate it as a destination, we would give it the same score. We just didn't see the area as being a destination, in our humble opinion.


Guide to Bliss

Camping near Bliss, Idaho offers access to both developed facilities and dispersed camping options along the Snake River. Located in the high desert region at elevations around 2,500-3,000 feet, temperatures can range from the 90s in summer to below freezing in winter. Many campgrounds in the area feature grassy sites with shade trees, making summer camping more comfortable in the arid climate.

What to do

Kayaking to Blue Heart Springs: Visitors staying at Banbury Hot Springs Campground can kayak downstream to unique attractions. "We kayaked down stream to the Thousand Springs Bed and Breakfast Winery where we did some wine tasting and bought a few bottles, which we took back to camp. We also paddled to Thousand Springs to see the waterfalls coming down. Another hidden gem that we paddled to was Blue Heart Springs," shares Ed E.

Fishing opportunities: The Snake River offers excellent fishing near campsites. At Balanced Rock County Park, "The grass areas are nice... The stream is pretty, loaded with suckers, and at night an otter or similar animal, whatever idaho has, lives there," notes Sadie P. Anglers can catch trout and bass in the Snake River.

Visit historic sites: Learn about pioneer history at nearby museums. "This park had an awesome museum area," says Rachel G. about Three Island Crossing State Park. Another reviewer adds, "Once the visitor center opened up in the morning though, that was an absolute gem."

What campers like

Hot springs access: Several dog friendly campgrounds near Bliss feature thermal waters for relaxation. At Miracle Hot Springs, "The hot spring pools themselves are fantastic. Newly built, 21 individual tub rooms plus a big, deep swimming pool with perfect temperature water, a hot hot hot pool, a more shallow less hot big pool, and another pool yet!" describes Beth M.

Riverside locations: Many campers appreciate sites directly along the Snake River. At 1000 Springs Resort, "i loved my campsite on the water….got afternoon shade," reports Z T. The riverside setting offers opportunities for water activities and scenic views.

Shade and landscaping: Despite the high desert setting, many campgrounds feature mature trees and grassy areas. "Shade and landscaping. Cottages to rent and full RV hookups," notes Annika D. about Hagerman RV Village. Another reviewer shares, "This campground is quiet, shady and pleasant. Very well maintained, laundry is cheap, $3, and just a joy to be outside."

What you should know

Cell service limitations: Many campgrounds in canyons have limited connectivity. At Miracle Hot Springs, "No wifi or cell coverage (T-Mobile or AT&T), so plan accordingly!" warns Jessica. Similarly, at Balanced Rock County Park, "There wasn't any cell or wifi service or reception in the canyon."

Water safety concerns: Not all water is safe for swimming. About Three Island Crossing State Park, one reviewer notes, "the water isn't safe to swim in." At Balanced Rock, a reviewer advises, "I wouldn't swim in it" when referring to the stream.

Train noise: Several pet-friendly camping areas near Bliss experience railroad disturbances. At Frank C Jones King Hill Area, Morgan K. warns, "Be aware of the trains at night! They scared me half to death!" Another camper mentions, "Lots of train noise thru the night, tho."

Tips for camping with families

Look for activity areas: Some campgrounds offer dedicated spaces for children. At 1000 Springs Resort, a visitor notes, "The facility feels like it was built in 1960 and not maintained since," but also mentions, "The geothermal swimming pool was nice. It was really warm—like a mild hot tub or super warm bath."

Evaluate bathroom conditions: Facilities vary widely between campgrounds. At Balanced Rock County Park, "The toilet is dark, no light, so filthy, and a real loooong walk from the last site, you'll want to drive it," warns Sadie P. In contrast, Hagerman RV Village receives praise: "Clean restrooms and laundry."

Bring entertainment: Many sites have open spaces for recreation. At Three Island Crossing State Park, Lisa O. recommends, "A large lawn area is well kept. Make sure to take your frisbee and lawn games. Paced roads are good for littles to cruise on their bikes."

Tips from RVers

Level your rig: Some campgrounds have uneven terrain. About Banbury Hot Springs, one RVer notes, "Not all stalls are RV friendly, my friend had to move due to her trailer would not level." Another visitor adds, "The sites were tight and back in only. Not very level."

Consider site spacing: RV sites vary in size and privacy. At 1000 Springs Resort, an RVer observes, "I rented an RV spot here for a reunion. Not having much experience at an RV park I was surprised at having zero shade and being packed in so tightly and being on gravel!" For contrast, at Rustic Edge RV Park, a reviewer mentions, "the sites are well kept and level. They have grass and gravel on the sites."

Check for water leaks: Some hookups may have maintenance issues. At Miracle Hot Springs, a visitor reports renting "spot 4 that many ppl thought was a drive through lane" and mentions that the water hookup leaked.
