Best RV Parks & Resorts near Burley, ID

Despite this RV park being heavily occupied by long term residents in 85% of the park, it was well maintained and clean. Quiet. Staff was amazing, super friendly and helpful.

Ricketts BLM RV Camp just north of Twin Falls. This fee-free primitive BLM camp offers 2 vault toilets (in case you did not bring own) and 13 level RV parking pads, each with a picnic table and fire ring, but no electric or water hook-ups. There is also equestrian and overflow parking if needed.

We spend on night there in July on our way to Boulder Colorado. Being an RV resort but tent camping we were a bit concerned about being placed between big RV. But for tent camping we were told we could install wherever we wanted in one of 2 very large grass fields. We end up being the only tent in that field; a few tents were in the second field. As indicated by its name there were many trees which was also greatly appreciated for the shade. The only con was that it was relatively close to the high way so noisy at night.

Because we'd usually rather be boondocking, we're all about cheap when we actually have to pay for a campsite. And if we're actually going to have to pay, we want the whole shebang -- 50A electric, water and sewer hookups -- because why pay for what we otherwise get for free? The Twin Falls County Fairgrounds delivers on both counts.

The RV Park is located on the east side of the fairgrounds and has 80 spaces with full hook-ups (water, sewer & 50 amp power); and 100 hook-up with (water & 30 amp power). Spaces with amenities cost $21.20, tax included per night, or $106 for a week (buy 5 nights/get 2 free). Dry camping with no amenities is available for $10.60, tax included per night. Maximum stay is 2 weeks. No reservations, everything is first-come, first-served.

Sites are located on grass, with dirt roads throughout the campground. Hookups for water, electric and sewer are located behind your RV. While the site itself is level, that makes it uphill for the sewer run so we wish that they had chosen a more traditional layout. Still, for this price I'm not complaining. Also, if the place actually filled up these sites would be crazy tight; however, during our visit July 2021 they're not even close to 50% capacity, so folks are leaving at least one site between themselves and their neighbors. 

Cell signal strength and data speeds are solid on both Verizon and AT&T. We've been both working and streaming with no issues whatsoever.

There's a separate dump station on site with potable water. The bathrooms are individual units with showers, and are immaculate. If you arrive after hours you have to call the after-hours number on the sign, and James will come out and determine your site and collect your money (cash or check only). The campground occasionally closes for events held at the Fairgrounds, and in 2021 that's for two events. Check their website for details. There was a lot of activity during our stay including equestrian events and even a monster truck rally, so there's lots to keep you entertained while you're in the campground and not out exploring the Twin Falls area.

Filer is a tiny ranching community just west of Twin Falls. Campers will find the surprisingly complete M&W Market just down the street, along with a True Value Hardware. And all of the chains and big box stores are nearby in Twin Falls, only 7 miles away.

No livestock are allowed in RV area, but boarding is available in stables adjacent to the campground for $10 inside/$5 outside. Dogs are not allowed to roam freely and must be under supervision of their owner, either on a leash or kennel. 

So when everything else was booked solid in July 2021, we found dirt cheap FHU sites aplenty at the Twin Falls County Fairgrounds!

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.

As the name suggests, this is an RV park only and our first disappointment with an Idaho county park. No tents are allowed but the price of $20 per night with water and electric hookups is very reasonable. There are two sections, both are separated from the day-use area. The first section is nicer and a bit more protected from the road directly above but can only accommodate smaller rigs. The next section is not as nice and closer to road noise but is suitable for larger RVs. Surprisingly, there were several open spots on the Saturday of the 4th of July weekend. Don't be put off by the access road - it looks like it will not lead to a park, but it does. This park might be nice if you were with a group of friends or just passing through.

Primitive camping requires hauling camping goods to site. No site parking for the tent people. Rv parking is good with plenty of room. Nice little boat launch with Great Lake to play in. Fishing was good and kids loved the swimming.

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.

This little hot springs pool and RV park is a bit out of the way but it's generally a fun little place to go.  The RV sites are small and very, very close together.  Four sites shared hookups and even a fire pit.  We brought our own firepan so we didn't have to fight for a pit. There is lots of shade from the mature trees.

Swimming isn't included (or discounted) in the sites and will cost you an additional $8 per swimmer or $4 if you just want to watch.  They even want you to pay them to just be in the park as well as additional cars.  At some point, you can't help but feel a bit nickel and dimed as they try to charge you for just about every little thing.

The swimming is fun but the pool quickly gets crowded.  Most of the park is getting run-down and overall it doesn't feel very organized or regulated.  There were people coming in from all directions, switching spots, and all sorts of chaos during the day and into the night.  Guests were up being loud well into the 3 AM hour.  We had a major moth bug problem and I heard others complaining as well... moths everywhere!  We'll probably swim again sometime but probably not camp.  Can't win them all I guess.

cash or check only Great location! Huge grass areas prevent any crowding and all but a couple RV spots are facing the lake. Fun to watch jet skiers, etc. go by. Slight cow smell a couple times but barely noticeable. Vault toilets are spotless. Generators only allowed for emergencies so not sure what other reviewer was talking about. Grass is green - which is great unless you are in a tent when they water Monday-Thursday then you’ll either enjoy the sprinklers or run for cover. I’m in an RTT so parked off the grass. Can’t believe tent spots are $5/night and RV with hookups is only $15. A couple large trailers parked across the way so seem to fit fine. Tent spaces not delineated but I’m the only one here so no issues with personal boundaries. Will definitely stay here again when I’m in the area.

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.
