Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Burley, ID

435 Reviews

Heyburn Riverside RV Park welcomes camping dogs with expansive grass areas surrounding level sites. Pets can freely enjoy adjacent green spaces with leash restrictions enforced throughout the campground. Village of Trees RV Resort features designated pet exercise areas along with pet waste stations throughout the property. Both campgrounds accommodate tent and RV campers with pets, while Lake Walcott State Park Campground and Country RV Village offer pet-friendly cabin options for those seeking more structured accommodations. Campgrounds near Burley maintain consistent pet policies requiring leashes in common areas and proper waste disposal. Thompson Flat Campground and Lake Cleveland East provide pet-friendly options in the Sawtooth National Forest with toilets but no drinking water. Spacious yards with clean facilities allow dogs to relax comfortably between outdoor adventures.

The Snake River corridor offers multiple pet-friendly campgrounds with direct water access where dogs can cool off during summer months. Paved walking trails at Heyburn Riverside Park provide excellent dog walking opportunities with waste stations positioned along routes. Cauldron Linn BLM Dispersed camping area allows free camping with dogs in a more primitive setting without amenities like drinking water or toilets. Pet owners should prepare for variable weather conditions in the Burley area, especially at higher elevation sites like Bennett Springs where temperatures can fluctuate significantly. Many campgrounds feature shaded sites, particularly valuable during hot summer months when pets need protection from direct sun. The proximity of Village of Trees RV Resort to I-84 creates some highway noise, though the convenience of nearby facilities and food delivery to campsites offsets this minor drawback for many traveling with pets.

    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.

    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.

    Village of Trees RV Resort

    Convenient, Clean, and Friendly

    Pulled in for a quick overnight stop on a road trip. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Campground and facilities are very well maintained. Clean bathrooms and showers. Access to the Snake River. Pet friendly with poop bag stations throughout the grounds. Food delivery to your site from the onsite restaurant. Will definitely be back.

    Oregon Trail Campground

    Good location / clean

    The staff was amazing and very accommodating - we were running on a tight schedule and they agreed to stay after hours to attend to us. They were so personal and easily to talk with. As stated - the sites were tight and provided no real scenery - but they were quiet, safe, clean - and best of all - great location. The public shower like being at home - amazing! Nice pet walking area. If you’re looking for more “state park” feel - this is not for you!

    Snake River Canyons Park - Rickett's RV Camp

    Good Spot for an overnighter

    This is an RV park, but I used a tent. Ground is very rocky, but was able to stake it fairly easily. This site is very close to the town, like a quick 5 minute drive. Road is very accessible as well, you won't have any troubles getting to this site unless your suspension is held together by duck tape. Toilet was as clean as a camp toilet can be! My only real negative is that there were a lot of people and pets around that were making noise, but it wasn't that bad. Oh, and there is absolutely no shade at all.

    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.

    Heyburn Riverside RV Park

    Great sites, no amenities.

    We had planned to stay here 2 nights but stayed one more. The sites are great. Spread out with lots of grass. It's right on the river with a great paved walking trail through an arboretum. Our dogs loved it. We were here in October 2020 so bathrooms were closed due to COVID and because it was off season there was no park host do no wifi code. No other amenities (which is fine, we didn't need anything). The cost was very affordable with good Sam membership (24.30 per night). They had pull through sites in the middle and back in sites on the edges. Each side had utilities on opposite sides. We would definitely stay here again when passing through southern Idaho.

Guide to Burley

Dispersed camping near Burley, Idaho offers varied terrain with elevations ranging from 4,150 feet in the Snake River valley to 7,800 feet in the Sawtooth National Forest. Weather conditions shift dramatically between these elevations, with summer temperature differences of 15-20 degrees between valley campsites and mountain locations. Many dispersed camping areas require high clearance vehicles, particularly after rainfall.

What to do

Explore waterfalls: The Cauldron Linn BLM dispersed camping area provides access to hidden waterfalls in a dramatic canyon setting. "One moment you are driving through farmland. The next moment a canyon appears out of nowhere. There is a beach there are waterfalls and the views are absolutely amazing," notes Lisa M. from Cauldron Linn BLM Dispersed.

Paddle the Snake River: Several campsites offer direct water access for paddle sports. "The river was low enough that we camped out on the beach. A few parts of the road were dicey, especially pulling our 16' trailer. But swimming in the pools near the waterfall made the trek so worth it," reports Ibeya A., who visited Cauldron Linn in early August.

Mountain hiking: The high-elevation campgrounds provide excellent access to alpine trails. "There is a trail that goes along the creek which starts at the bottom most campsite. There's another trail that goes up to Pomerelle Ski resort parking lot," explains a camper from Bennett Springs. These cooler mountain routes offer relief from summer heat.

What campers like

Riverside sites: Campers appreciate spots with direct water access. "Beautiful and peaceful, right on the river's edge. Lots to explore. No amenities so be prepared for that," reports Andy S. about his experience at Cauldron Linn. The waterfront sites offer relaxation opportunities without crowds.

Spacious layouts: Murtaugh Lake Park Campground provides ample room between sites. "The campground was quiet and clean, many sites right on the lake. There is not much privacy, but there weren't many people there when we were so it was nice," notes Caitlyn R. The open grass areas accommodate larger setups.

Wildlife viewing: The natural settings provide abundant wildlife opportunities. "We saw Deer and Racoons at night. We kept all food items in our car to avoid issues," reports Michelle H. from Lake Walcott State Park Campground. Bird watching is particularly good at many of the campgrounds along the Snake River corridor.

What you should know

Road conditions: Access to some of the more remote sites requires appropriate vehicles. "Great place if the road in wasn't so sketchy. Barely made it out with 2wd E250 van. 4wd would probably be fine, just be aware it's a bumpy ride either way," advises Andy S. about Cauldron Linn.

Insect activity: Bugs can be problematic at certain times of year. "If you come in August, bring something for the flies (they're pretty bad)," notes a Cauldron Linn camper. Another visitor to Milner Historic Recreation Area reports, "Fine for a night when passing through. But it's free range and lots of cow pies & trash and it's smelly."
