Best Tent Camping near Bruneau, ID

This campground is an oasis in the middle of the desert.  It gets hot here in the summer. It has RV and camper parking along the Reservoir and a few tent sites.  There is a big park/picnic area with several picnic tables and a designated swimming area.  There is a boat launch right next to it so boating access from the campground is excellent!  Great for families with RV's and campers, less great for tent camping.

This is not my ideal place to camp.  No where to tent camp but there is camper and RV camping in what I would describe as "parking lot style".  That said, if your goal is accessing the water, the boat ramp is right across the dam and this is a glorious place for boating.

This is one of the smaller campgrounds on the reservoir.  This campground does not have a restroom, most of the others near by do.  Great access to the water but not really great for hiking.  This campground is best for campers or small RV's, you could tent camp her but it would not be my first choice in places to go.

Well, that wasn’t fun. If anyone is planning on tent camping here, I would highly suggest going somewhere else. The dunes are awesome, but wow were the sites a let down. The fields had no grass and minimal shade. I ended up sleeping in my car but with the heat, needed the windows down. That’s when I entered mosquito hell and spent the night swatting skeeters all night. For an rv, sure good spot but tent campers beware.

Good overnight place for tent camping. The showers were the main reason we booked for the night. They were clean, a little small but good water pressure. The hosts were nice and helpful. The highway was loud, but something you could get used to. The sheep also made a lot of noise but that was more cute than annoying. Overall it was a good stay and served our purposes.

This campground is bigger than many on the reservoir.  There is enough room for groups if you get there early.  Like most of the campgrounds on this road, you have a hill on one side and the reservoir on the other.  This campground is good for campers and some RV's but not so good for tent camping.  Camping here means you are looking for water access,  which is great, at this site.

Rented a cabin in April/May as it was expected to be rainy & chilly! Surprisingly, the weather warmed up a bit so it was just windy & chilly at night.

The only bad thing was (and it's not the park's fault) that Mountain Home AFB decided to do JET maneuvers at 1, 2, and 3 AM , causing a night's sleep to be non-existent!

Will definately be back during warmer weather for TENT camping, hopefully on a weekend so the observatory will be open! Currently, it's only open on Friday & Saturday! I was there earlier in the week!

I stayed here for a night while passing through. A nice free spot to camp if you’re in need near Twin Falls. Easily accessible by any car it seems like (I have a Nissan Versa) and there were camper vans and RVs  there too. Picnic tables at every sight, plenty of birds flying around and I think there might be at least two beavers in the creek. I tent camped and the grass was a luxury! (Was here on a Friday so didn’t have to worry about the sprinklers, they go off every morning Monday-Thursday)
