  Bruneau Dunes State Park Campground

  Nice spot

  Arrived a bit late and didn't have a chance to explore but lovely landscapes. Enjoyed the protected shelters, but it was very windy. The showers and flush toilets were closed for the season, which kinda sucked but the pit toilets were clean. Would visit again!

  Frank C Jones King Hill Area

  Frank C Hill Area

  1st stop on our way to Moab. We were able to get our Nissan Frontier hauling a 6×10 trailer parked into the sight next to the Snake River. It was fairly level. Nice sunset viewing, not too buggy in early Oct. Lots of train noise thru the night, tho. Pit toilet was out of TP, luckily we had spare. We had an owl also visit the tree above us and serenaded us for a good 1/2 hr in the middle of the night (very cool). Overall, good stop for passing through.

  The Wagon Wheel

  Quaint and quiet

  Well shaded sites with a clean bathroom, shower combo. There’s only the one bathroom but we didn’t have to wait for anyone to use it. It was quiet except for an occasional public service siren which wasn’t too loud. We felt safe staying there even though it was in a residential area The only thing that was missing was a picnic table

  Carmela RV Park at Y Knot Winery

  Really Liked Y Knot

  We followed our GPS plus there is great signage leading you to the Y Knot Winery, which is the same route to go to Three Island Crossing State Park. The state park is adjacent to the winery campground(CG). You first come to the older CG across from the winery building, which is better suited for smaller rigs. We were in the newer CG a little further up the road in pull-through site 26 with FHUs. As we had a reservation with an assigned site number, we went straight to our site, set up, and then walked back over to the winery to register. The sites have an interesting layout as they are long, yet the front and back of site not really defined. You have to adjust your rig on the gravel pad to fit your rig to the utilities towards the back of the site. You then ensure that either side of your rig isn’t too far on the gravel road. The CG is bare bones with no picnic tables, fire pits, nor WiFi(saw a review for$6 Wifi but didn’t see any networks in the new area). It was no issue for us as we were enjoying the winery and golf course. Since the CG is new, the trees have not matured and you have no problem with satellite. We got one bar on Verizon. Their water pressure is high so you will need a reducer. We got an end cap site and enjoyed the large yard. The CG info states there’s a pet area, but there’s no sign or fenced in area. The pet area is a grassy area along the golf course side of the CG according to the map. There was no road noise, but there was a distant train or two during the night. There’s a lot to like about this CG: nice sites, wine tasting, decent food, and a fun golf course.

  Great little hideaway

  Spent one night here on a long road trip. I was the only one there. Very easy to find. Felt safe, nice view of the river. The only negative was the trains going by at night. Quite loud.

  Complete Satisfaction

  Found this place after a trip to another spot was not to be. Awesome staff great spot to just relax. Today the views were almost as impressive as the staff. We are going back! dusty 3 mile road and all.

  Swan Falls - Idaho Power

  Beautiful sunrise

  Once you get past the 7 miles with no camping, there are a large amount of campsites. The road is pretty washboard and there was some traffic noise in the morning . There was a moderate amount of trash on the beach that I camped at. But, overall a good campsite.

  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!

  Balanced Rock County Park

  Awesome Spot!

  Such a sweet free campground. I didn't use the toilets, but really appreciated the trash service. It's a popular site - so expect lots of other folks there. Also I have mounted solar panels and starlink. Choose your spot carefully if you have either of these. The rock walls and trees will cause obstructions. So pretty to look at, tho!

  Morley Nelson Snake River Dispersed Campsites

  Rough road but with beautiful views

  We parked right beside the river, and it was absolutely gorgeous. However, I don't recommend taking a car on this road. It's definitely an ATV road as it's very rough.

  Little Camas Reservoir

  Pretty reservoir

  Pretty little spot with pretty decent cell service. Lots of space for my dogs to run around. Could see other campers in the distance. Everyone had lots of room to themselves. I could see it becoming a little bit busier on the weekend. No facilities available at all, which is fine by me! Unfortunately people seem to leave trash around. There was a fire pit which I appreciated but greasy tends in the pit. There also trash bags and a few other things around. Overall, this did not majorly detract from the site. I would recommend bringing bug repellent or a thermacell to ward off bugs.

  Balanced Rock County Park

  Balanced for a pit stop

  Whilst a little eerie due to its location—you will be (hopefully) alone off a farm road, had a quiet, good night here. The hike up to the rock is awesome too, with a great view. This spot’s just a picnic table and a trash can (no facilities of any kind) but for a free spot on a long road trip, it’s sweet.

  Celebration Park

  Great place! New upgraded campsites.

  I reside approximately five miles from this campground and frequently visit. I've camped there back when it was merely dirt campsites. I'm providing some updated photos for future campers, 13 sites first come first serve. There's a large area at the road's end for turning around, though the approach to the gated campsites is somewhat rough; thus, campers with higher clearance are advised. If space permits, you can also park your camper in the main lot by the river's edge for the same fee. This area is fully paved and equipped with picnic tables and vault toilets, but it may get crowded with day users. Once you head towards the improved campsites, you're essentially committed to entering, but turning around is possible. Additionally, there's an excellent hiking trail leading to Halverson Lake not far in, forming a 3.9-mile loop. For a more extensive hike, follow the river trail to discover old stone mini huts—some are intact enough to enter, while others are just rubble, yet they're all intriguing to explore. It's believed they once served as shelters for trappers.

  Pretty, small area with a boat launch. No services were open in April, but parking was available and free. There is enough Verizon cell signal to text, but not to stream.

  Dogs and cows and birds oh my!

  Great spot on the river with clean bathrooms, water access, beautiful views and Strike hot spring right nearby. Awesome place to camp for free. Lots of big fish in the river and lots of birds.

  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.

  Great location for a quick getaway

  This was my final campout for the year with my 2 fur babies. Road to park has a 3 mile gravel road, took it slow so it was not bad. The campground was empty and was able to move to a spectacular sunset view spot. Woke up at sunrise to find 4 deer wondering through. My dogs loved the campground. Will be back again.

  Quaint

  Arrived late night on a Friday(no sprinklers on). Most sites were taken but we found a picnic table and set up.

  Super quiet and peaceful. Balanced rock is right down the road. Don’t blink or you’ll miss it.

  I’ll add if your looking for a quick stop near a highway, this isn’t the place. Took awhile to get there but overall worth the stay.

  Great spot to spend the night

  I was driving 84 east late night around 11 pm and found this place on app. I didn’t want to stay on a rest area that is only about 4 miles 84 east, it is quiet and small but only 2 other cars. There are only few spaces for tent. But I park in the dirt parking lot next to boat ramp and slept on my car. Next to snake river. Some noise because train rail at other side of the river

  Marsing Murphy Rd Dispersed

  Rutted roads, high tension wires, traffic

  Bad roads, high tension wires crackled with electricity, and a lot of traffic on the main road.
