    Lake Walcott State Park Campground

    Waterfront Campsite

    This is a State Park with beautiful landscaping and walking trails. There are plenty of RV and tent sites. The lake is absolutely beautiful with views of mountains in the distance. We stayed in space #13 with a lake view. The space had its own bbq grill, fire pit, picnic table and full hook ups. The park was about 1/3 full and quiet. We definitely want to go back. We highly recommend, especially if you want to include boating or fishing.

    Rock Creek RV Park

    Love this park! First come, first served

    OVERVIEW: The RV park is part of the county park- beautiful walking/bike path with the creek flowing through. Our back in site was nearby our neighbors, but felt spacious because it's an end site directly across from the camp host. Easy to navigate the concreted roads and the space was easy to back in to. 

    Hard to beat $20 for W&E hookups. It's a quiet campground. Trashcans all around the park conveniently. The area as you drive up seems a bit run down, but as soon as you get into the park, it's great. 

    There is a free public dump station 1 mile away in town since there is not a dump station on site. 

    The park has unisex toilets around the grounds that are vault toilets so nothing fancy. Picnic tables, lots of green space around and the trail goes for at least 2 miles round trip. 

    CELL SERVICE: We work remote- We used out AT&T hotspot and had an awesome connection. Reliable for video calls all week. Gradely harshly, giving 4 out 5, only because they don't have wifi and also ideally would have been nice to have sanitizer(especially this year) in the bathrooms. Everything was was lovely. 

    GUEST SERVICES: Camphost was super friendly. We came in around 8:30pm on a Monday night with fingers crossed we would find a spot.. and we did with no problem. If it looks full as you enter, keep going past the camphost and you will find the pull thru options. The camp host came over on his gator and shined his lights to help us as we set up. He was very kind. 

    NEARBY: Close to downtown Twin Falls with some cute coffee shops and breweries. Also about 50 mins away there is a place called Mammoth Cave that might be the most interesting cave experience you ever experience. I highly encourage it.

    Bennett Springs

    Snow

    Took the long drive up and arrived at the campground at night. Didn’t see the snow and almost got stuck. Currently (5/10/24) there is snow blocking the entrance and impassible.

    Great view and quiet

    We had a quiet campground nestled in the trees. Just a short walk away brings you to incredible views and cool rock formations. There is an outhouse but no running water and it’s a trash in/trash out campsite. We loved our stay and got great pictures.

    Smoky Mountain Campground — Castle Rocks State Park

    Beautiful location on the edge of City of Rocks National Preserve

    The relationship between City of Rocks National Preserve and Castle Rocks State Park is still not clear to me as this campground appears on the National Park Service website, although it is an Idaho State Park. That said, the park rangers seem to work cooperatively. This campground is delightful. Located about a 7-mile drive/walk to the entrance of City of Rocks, Smoky Mountain Campground is situated above the valley providing a wonderful view from many sites including space #19 where I parked my campervan.  I believe the walking distance to the reserve could be shorter by taking any of the hiking trails from the campgrounds rather than going along the paved roads which first go away from the City of Rocks then back up again, making a big "U". 

    During my one-night stay in February, water, showers and bathrooms in the campground were closed for the winter season. A very clean, pit toilet is located in the equestrian parking lot across from the campground entrance. The distance from the campsites to the bathroom will vary from quite close to about 1/4 mile max. And during the winter season, there won't be much competition for the spaces close to the bathroom, as I was the sole user during my time there. 

    In addition to the breathtaking views, the sites offer privacy from 3 sides though all face the loop access road. There are picnic tables, fire rings and electrical power. I did not note if water was available as it would have been shut off in February in any event.  There is a dump station about 1 mile down the road toward the exit. I do not know if it is open in the winter.

    Check-in during the off-season is accomplished by envelope collected at the entrance or directly to the ranger who came by in the morning to check-in. The rate was $27 per night. Definitely worth the money to stay in this tranquil campground so close to the magnificent City of Rocks.

    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.

    Massacre Rocks State Park Campground

    Great little place to stay

    This beautiful state park is located right off of the freeway about 7 miles outside of American Falls, Idaho. There is a little bit of road noise at the park because of the proximity to the freeway but it wasn't a bother at all. The views of the river are beautiful and the sunset was amazing. There are a lot of trails to walk on here, and since the park is pet friendly our three big dogs walked the trails with us. There is a disc golf course, although we didn't try it out. The camp host was great. The bathrooms were clean, although only half of them are open in the off season. The only draw back we could see is that the spots aren't very spacious, so if you're new at parking your rig, or if you have a really large rig, it could be a tight fit. We were in a 33 ft TT and the pull through spot (17) was plenty long, but kind of narrow. Spot has 50 and 30 amp hook ups as well as water if you camp during the summer-no water in the off season.


Guide to Burley

Burley camping options span across Idaho's Magic Valley at elevations ranging from 4,150 to 5,500 feet. The region features volcanic formations and high desert terrain with summer temperatures averaging 85-95°F during peak camping months. Winter camping requires preparation for temperatures that can drop below freezing, with most primitive sites closing from October through May.

What to do

Climbing opportunities: At City of Rocks Campground, rock formations provide numerous climbing routes for all skill levels. "Another amazing April camping trip down at City of Rocks. Spent four glorious days hanging out with the old rocks. Head down to the City if you're looking for some wide open space and solitude," noted a visitor.

Wildlife viewing: Explore Lake Walcott State Park Campground to observe the area's diverse bird population. "The deer tend to come in in the early evening hours to enjoy the park too and are not very spooked by people. Just a short distance from the park is the overflow from the low dam where you can see a variety of birds enjoying the water," reports a camper.

Historical exploration: The Oregon Trail passed through this region, with visible wagon ruts near Massacre Rocks State Park. "We enjoyed the hike/walk out to the Oregon Trail wagon ruts. Sites have electric and water and there is a dump station," a camper shared about their experience.

What campers like

Dark skies for stargazing: Smoky Mountain Campground provides exceptional night viewing due to minimal light pollution. "We opened the blinds on the front stargazing window of our Lance. The view was breathtaking! It was such a clear night (and so dark in the campground) that we could see hundreds of stars and fell asleep looking at them," one reviewer described.

Off-grid experiences: Bennett Springs offers primitive camping just 30 minutes from Burley. "A surprise little campground in a mountain pass between two plains. The altitude gain is enough to get some cool air if you are down in the valley and hot. It's a nice basic campground, nothing fancy but it's pretty," notes a visitor.

Shaded sites: Twin Lakes Campground provides tree cover rare in this high desert region. "This is another great campsite on the road that heads up to Lake Cleveland. Definitely one of the best sites for lounging around in a hammock all day!" shared one camper who appreciated the shade.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Many sites close during winter months, with Bennett Springs open June-October only. "We took the long drive up and arrived at the campground at night. Didn't see the snow and almost got stuck. Currently (5/10/24) there is snow blocking the entrance and impassible," warned one spring visitor.

Fire restrictions: Several campgrounds prohibit open fires year-round. When staying at Anderson Camp RV Park, campers need to use propane stoves instead. The park offers alternative amenities: "There were places for both RV's/campers and tents. The place was clean, well kept up and had tons of amenities including flushing toilets, showers, laundry, 2 playgrounds and a pool."

Water access: Not all campgrounds provide drinking water, especially at primitive sites. At Twin Lakes Campground, "There is an outhouse but no running water and it's a trash in/trash out campsite," explains a reviewer.

Insect activity: Summer months bring increased insect populations. One Lake Walcott camper noted, "Just be prepared for lots of spiders in July, also this last time coming through we were struggling with chiggers."

Tips for camping with families

Swimming options: During hot summer months, several campgrounds offer water recreation. "The Rock Creek winds through the park past picnic tables and covered gathering areas. There are two playgrounds, multiple shelters, a handicapped accessible fishing pier, and biking/walking path," reports a visitor to Rock Creek RV Park.

Kid-friendly activities: Anderson Camp offers structured recreation options. "Lots to do for young children with a large playground, two shallow (2-3ft?) small outdoor pools, one with a water slide, putt putt golf, and snack bar," notes a family camper.

Yurt camping near Burley, Idaho: For families seeking a middle ground between tents and cabins, yurt camping options exist at City of Rocks and Castle Rocks State Park. These circular, weatherproof structures provide protection from elements while maintaining a camping atmosphere.

Tips from RVers

Hookup availability: Most developed campgrounds offer partial hookups. At Massacre Rocks State Park Campground, "Sites have electric and water and there is a dump station. During summer of 2020 the showers were closed due to Covid but they do have them. Bathrooms were clean."

Road access considerations: Some campgrounds have challenging access roads. For Lake Walcott, a camper advised: "Our Garmin RV GPS and Google Maps had us exit earlier than exit 216 off of Interstate 84. The emailed state park instructions have you get off at exit 216. Since the roads looked RV-friendly on Google Maps, we took the earlier exit."

Site leveling: Be prepared to level your rig at certain campgrounds. At Twin Falls-Jerome KOA, one RVer noted, "My pool Throughs and the areas were relatively flat. We had no problems with water pressure, no problems with electricity. The only thing I would point out is that if you are on the last row, that makes you closest to the highway and you will hear the highway noise starting at about 5:30 in the morning."
