Best Tent Camping near Castleford, ID

Tent camped here in site 6. Felt safe the entire night and the campground featured bathrooms, which was a plus. Definitely targeted more towards RVs and camper style set-ups, but good night regardless minus some weather and wind!

Tent sites and rv sites available!

Tent sites are on a nice large green patch of grass. Park right next to your tent.

The bathrooms are locked for paying campers only and have a sink, shower and toilet. Very clean and nice.

There is also a locked washroom for paying campers to use as well.

The owners live on site and are very friendly and are happy to help with questions!

Very decently priced when all you need is somewhere to set up your tent for the night and get up and go in the morning. Would also be great for staying longer!

Located in the town of Glenn’s ferry but still far enough away from public so you don’t feel like you’re camping in town.

Restuarants, gas stations and a few convenience stores within a 10 minute drive of the campground.

Interesting history is available to see close to the campground as well. Learn about the Oregon trail!

Sweet little county park in the middle of farmlands. We arrived just after dark on a Monday night without reservations and there were plenty of sites. Camp host collected $5 cash for a tent site. Woke up to lots of birds, including red-winged blackbirds, yellow-headed blackbirds, white pelicans and swans. Clean vault toilets. A playground for kids.

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.

It was only 6 steps from one site to the next. Cost was exceptionally high for the pool/hot spring access. Plus the $20 for tent site. Would not go again. We went for the night sky, but the close proximity other campers made it not so good. Also, I dont usually mind bugs but this was ridiculous!! Showers were nice though.

I had an okay tent camping experience here.

Price is good at $5.

If you have trouble finding where to pay there’s a little building in the campground where you drop your envelope and take a receipt stub to put on your car.

Bathrooms are just toilets.

Lots of bugs at night! I was here late Aug/early Sept

Sprinklers come on at random hours and it’s hard to know what ground they’ll cover.

Found this place when we were in desperate need of a last minute site. We pulled right in around midnight and set up. We put $5 in the cash box in the morning. The tent site area is nestled in the trees right next to the lakeshore. There is running water and compost toilets! Stunning view of the lake for sunrise. Would defiantly recommend

We originally planned to camp at Three Island state park, based on the positive Dyrt reviews, but when we arrived there, the posted fee for sites was $34, which we found too expensive for our mere purpose of sleeping and then hitting the road again. We remembered a sign on the way to the park that read "Camping - RV + Tents. Less $$$ than state park." So we figured, heck, let's just go there. We read quickly online that the prices for tent sites are $15. Perfect! We arrive at 11pm, which yes, it's late, BUT the office sign was blinking "OPEN." So we thought no problem. We ring the camp host. He sounds grumpy but arrives a couple minutes later. He is definitely grumpy. He tells me they do accept credit card and it will be $25. I ask for clarification given the listed price online. He says "New policy as of 6 days ago. I'm sick of people arriving late at all hours." Fair enough...but turn off the "Open" sign. I agree to pay it, we're exhausted at this point, and at least the campground has showers.

Some pros: very close to highway

Some cons: very close to the highway and a train track.

The tenting experience: we listening all night to the sound of bug zappers, hourly train whistles, and speeding cars. See the video for reference. The tent sites were flat at least. A basic grill but no picnic table provided. It is probably convenient to have the wifi and laundry on-site, but we wouldn't know because we left as soon as we could after a near sleepless night.

This is a no frills campground located in the South Hills of Idaho about 20 miles south of Twin Falls.  Each site has its own fire ring and picnic table with most also giving you a shady spot to set up a tent if you want.  There is only 1 vault toilet though near the info sign.  The campsites are all lined up in a row next to the creek and trees.  There are not many sites so get here early if you plan on coming during the weekend.  It also seems like you could just park your RV in the giant dirt area to the east of the creek.  This area will be hot in the morning and shady in the afternoon as there are no shade trees to the east of the campsites.  A bonus of staying at this campground is that you have walking access to the Third Fork Trailhead!

The owners are super friendly and onsite. The campground spots are spacious, well maintained and there is a large open grass area. Leashed pets are welcome and mine loves the grass.

The camp spots have fire rings.

I get a tent spot for my rooftop tent and they have flushing toilets, showers, kitchen and laundry onsite.

Well worth the $15 rate!

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.

This was a solid standard USFS campsite in Sawtooth NF southeast of Twin falls Idaho.  A handful of first come first serve sites, and a nice ~2 mile loop trail starts at the campsite.

Wasn’t sure what to expect but wow this area didn’t disappoint! Camped with our 3 kids for 2 nights along the river. Beautiful views, bring your fishing poles and kayaks! Tent or car camp but not accessible with trailers due to sketchy narrow road down to the canyon.

Very close campsites, and quite busy on weekends. The pool is wonderful for family's and kids. The staff is excellent. Hardest working lifeguard at the pool I've ever seen. It was 95 and we needed to escape the heat and this did the trick with a 30amp site. Water and Dump on site too. Lots of picnic tables for day use and many tent spaces. But all very close together.
