    center point rv park

    Great place

    I'm very polite up front. Nice individuals bend over backwards to help you. Even though they didn't have any spots available, they're more helpful, very kind

    Frontier Motel and RV Park

    Right in Town, Easy Access to Hells Canyon and Other Destinations

    Frontier Motel and RV Park is more of a motel than an RV park, with only ten spaces behind the motel and in between a public, local road. The motel was fronting Hwy 95 and the RV spaces were one block behind. They have a pool (nice!), laundry and easy town access, since the motel was right in town. The pool wasn’t warm, maybe 75F, but it sufficed for the cool-off need. The town, Cambridge, ID, was a nice, small town, maybe 200 residents. It appears that most of the 10-or-so RV spaces were used by monthly renters, but they had a spot for me and during a holiday weekend. Nice staff. For some reason I couldn't make friends with the black lab (the owner's dog). She's old, doesn't walk that well, but was wary of new people. I did not have any, any negative interactions with her, she just wouldn't let me give her a pet. The three-star rating is that the site location, noise from the highway and the street, and the marginal sewer connection (water/power were fine).

    Beautiful Boise National Forest

    River front property

    I love this area so very much. It’s next to the river, with little beaches. We are near 4 natural hot springs!! Yes there is a road next to the campsite, but we are down a little slope. If you want to be away from that move up higher. Maybe 10/15 cars a day. It’s gravel. The dust from the road doesn’t hit us. Rangers are so nice. Don’t over stay your 14days. This is a perfect group spot with 4 different fire pits and sites

    Chalet RV Park

    Tent camping

    Monica at the check in was great. Used this campground on cross country motorcycle trip. Tent camp is great with trees and grass, level site. Showers and restroom on site. Plenty of good looking pull thru gravel sites for RVs. Price was also good. Definitely will stay here again!

    French Creek Campground

    Great place to stay!

    This was the first time my girlfriend and I go camping! We stayed for a total of 4 days! We stayed in site 6! The place is very well maintained! The bathrooms are very clean! And the most helpful feature is that the campsite has clean running water! Super helpful to clean dishes and wash our hands!

    Caldwell Campground and RV Park

    Very Nice location

    The bathrooms and showers are excellent! Clean, secure. The lakeside location and walking trails are beautiful. Feels like living outside of town but still close to everything town offers.

    Boise National Forest Antelope Campground

    Antelope camping - Cowabunga!

    Sage hen Reservoir takes a bit to get to- nice but narrow dirt roads for about 12 miles. Lots of camping spots available both in campgrounds and dispersed. Lots of momma cows with calf. Drive up on the gorgeous Payette River with lots of camping on the river as well.
