Best RV Parks & Resorts near Craters of the Moon National Monument

Full hookup sites for RVs are actually limited near Craters Of The Moon National Monument, with most options located in nearby towns rather than within the monument itself. The monument's Lava Flow Campground has 51 sites but no hookups, though it can accommodate RVs up to 35 feet long on its paved pads. For RVs needing electric, water, and sewer connections, Arco KOA is about 18 miles away with pull-through sites that fit rigs up to 40 feet. The gravel pads at most nearby RV parks require some leveling, especially at the smaller family-run campgrounds in the area. Cell service varies dramatically - decent coverage exists in Arco and Carey, but signals weaken considerably inside the monument boundaries. Most RV parks in this region maintain dump stations, though they're sometimes shared with multiple campgrounds. The roads to the monument handle large RVs well, but some of the scenic loops inside have tight turns that bigger motorhomes should avoid. Quiet hours typically run from 10pm to 7am, with generator use restricted during these times. Picnic tables and fire rings come standard at most sites, though fire restrictions are common during dry summer months. RV supplies and groceries are available in Arco, about 20 minutes from the monument entrance. Winter camping for RVs is extremely limited due to harsh conditions, with most facilities closing from October through April.
