"Short drive from the campground to some restaurants, gas stations, grocery store, etc in the area. There are 2 bar/grills walking distance from the campground. Has a Heated pool."
"Playground. Dog area. Cabins too."
"About thirty minutes outside of Blackfoot before you hit gravel road. We only drove a short distance on gravel before we parked in a wide spot that had a fire pit."
"Our timing worked out for the Idaho Falls area and Wolverine Canyon came up as an option. It’s all paved road until you get to the mouth of the Canyon, then it’s a well maintained gravel road."

GuideGreat little campground with full hook ups, 30 or 50 Amp. Spaces for tent camping up to Class A motor homes. Several pull through spots, a few back in spots. The campground is well maintained and had friendly staff. Amenities included showers, restrooms, laundry, small store that sells firewood and propane among other necessities, ice cream social (for a donation) in the evening, free waffle breakfast in the morning, pet friendly with dog park, playground, and pool (although not super warm). Good activities in the area if you enjoy the high desert. We stayed on 4th of July weekend and even with a full park it didn't feel crowded.
GuideCampsites are a little close with no privacy and there are no sewer connections at the individual sites. There are two dump sites on the backside of the store. Pretty much gravel throughout with some grass at the smaller sites. Amenities: kids playground area with grass, a small fenced dog park, horseshoes, picnic table at each site (no fire pits at the pull through sites). Inside the store: pool table, table tennis, and a foosball table. Overall a good clean campsite to hold you over for a day or two.
LegendWe stopped her in October and the water level was extremely low. The boats were dry docked and could not access the marina. We chose this campground because we wanted to visit American Falls, which we did. The area was beautiful, but there was not enough water to create a fall.
The campground is very peaceful with very large spaces and well kept. We has a large grass area with a picnic table and fire pit, fires were prohibited while we were there because of the low water conditions. Behind our space was the river/lake area that was dry. Still the park had great views of the mountains and was very pretty. There are many trails around for bike riding or off road vehicles.
The sites are full hook up, there is a bath/shower house and a laundry. The staff is very helpful. We were a bit early and when we arrived Jason was mowing our space. It was completed very quickly. There are restaurants in town about 5-10 minutes away and a grocery. Wifi was excellent on T-Mobile and Visible.
ScoutAs many free sites are it hasn’t been maintained or respected by those who use it. There’s trash all over and broken glass in the pit toilet. But there’s some picnic tables and fire pits and plenty of space.
GuideA bit run down. Picnic table covered in bird poop. Site seemed washed out. Kinda sandy. No firepit or grill at my site. Pub and grill next door for wine, beer and basic bar food, arcade, family friendly. Verizon service was good. Wifi terrible. General store was poorly stocked. The area seemed industrial. Staff was nice. Bathroom was clean.

GuideAn ok spot for a night. The bad: Playground very run down, had picnic table at our site that was cracked on the table part, sites very close together (no privacy), no access or view of the river, in a questionable part of town. The good: pool was open and there appeared to have laundry and free showers. Staff was nice. I most likely would not stay here again if I had the choice.
ScoutIt's on Wakeside Lake in Rexburg. The lake is good for boating, or if you have a paddle board that would be fun. The sites are level gravel and full hookups, 30 Amp. Most sites are shades.
Nice laundry facility, bathrooms and showers.
They have glamping tents, and cabins available on Airbnb
TravelerPro tip: don’t try to find this location using Apple Maps. iOS will take you to the main road ands that’s it. Then you have to hunt for the dirt road that goes to Warm Slough. That road looks very much like private property. Google Maps will take straight to the actual site.
If you fish or want to float Henry’s Fork of the Snake River, this may be a good spot for multiple nights. It’s right on the water. Pretty. Multiple spots with fire pits, but well-spaced. We got the last spot on a Monday in Oct, but it didn’t feel crowded at all.
There are 2 pit toilets. The one at the front is truly disgusting. The one further in by the boat launch is clean, but no TP. Maybe Idaho Fish & Game consider October to be off-season and it would be better maintained in Summer.
We heard hunters close by, but they stopped by about 8:00pm. Otherwise, it was quiet and peaceful. The morning was beautiful - cold with mist coming off the river. For us, it was great for a one-night pit stop on a longer road trip.
