While this bathroom is a shared amenity, it is not a requirement for us to provide it. We offer several spots for our guests and may host more than one party at a time. Arrivals are flexible, allowing guests to arrive at their convenience. Our goal is to provide a beautiful, relaxing country stay for all our guests to enjoy equally. We ask that each guest be mindful that, because the bathroom is in the shop, the shop may occasionally be in use for property maintenance as needed. We also ask that each guest be respectful of others who may be staying with us.

So the spot at the end where my pics are is awesome, but that’s it.
This is a park that allows camping. It’s not a place you feel comfortable driving off and leaving your stuff out. The toilet is dark, no light, so filthy, and a real loooong walk from the last site, you’ll want to drive it.
The grass areas are nice, but camping there is weekends only. The stream is pretty, loaded with suckers, and at night an otter or similar animal, whatever idaho has, lives there, I wouldn’t swim in it. There are lots of birds an owls in the cliffs.
So far below the cliffs that you get cooler air than up top, plenty of light all day but direct sun for about four hours.
It’s funny I had friends near the front. The way the sun travels they would be cold in the morning wearing coats while I was basking. In the evening i was sipping tea by the fire and they were seeking shade.
If you stay in that best spot be prepared as it’s the trail access and you have to let people come through. Idahoans are nice though so it’s not a problem
Details: Tables everywhere Trash and toilet available Water spigots available but conflicting reports on their safety Twin falls is a 25 minute country drive away Balanced rock is right around the corner Seasons go like this; pleasant, snake city, bugs galore, cold as my heart. Good luck timing those Free, staycation days limited to 7 on my visit but a local said it might change. Wear gloves but take a visual in the trash cans after any weekend parties, especially if you have kids. I took a visit to the cop shop and the pawn shop after i looked, just sayin

This was a beautiful state park. Very well kept. We only stayed 1 night so we did not get to explore a lot. There is a train nearby so you will hear that. Within walking distance is a winery which has a restaurant and looked very nice. Our site was a back in with plenty of space. There was a small grocery in town. This park had an awesome museum area.
TravelerShowed up late October around 6. It’s quiet, just out of town and there are toilets places I guess (didn’t use) and a fire pit by my site. Didn’t use either. Cold (34* last night) rainy, super windy, but felt safe and free is great 😊
Guide
Stayed three nights in mid-October. Got real cold at night, but having electric made it bearable. Not to far from Twin Falls and all it has to offer. Much less expensive than parks closer to town.

Paid$15/night for a site right by the Snake River,#13. Pit toilets and trashcans. Sites have picnic tables and fire rings and are spaced out fairly well. Quiet. Houses are visible on the opposite side of the river. ------>>Don't go in the east entrance due to 11ft bridge over the road.
TravelerThis place is beautiful! We arrived on a Monday morning around 9am. Before driving down the hill we got out and walked it to make sure we could make it. We’re driving a one ton GMC with Artic Fox truck camper. We made it down no problem. We stayed for 2 nights and only one night was there another camper who decided to stay up high and not make the drive down. We few cars came and went. But what surprised me the most, is that nobody who drove down, went to see the waterfall which is probably the best part! So, if you visit, find a trail anywhere to the right of the Cauldron Linn sign and follow it. There are many and most of them lead to the waterfalls eventually. My husband was nervous about the drive out but we made it out with no issues!

1st stop on our way to Moab. We were able to get our Nissan Frontier hauling a 6×10 trailer parked into the sight next to the Snake River. It was fairly level. Nice sunset viewing, not too buggy in early Oct. Lots of train noise thru the night, tho. Pit toilet was out of TP, luckily we had spare. We had an owl also visit the tree above us and serenaded us for a good 1/2 hr in the middle of the night (very cool). Overall, good stop for passing through.

Would definitely recommend this spot. 21$ dry and I think 40 full. Nice big grass areas with a few trees. Probably really hot in summer but we were there in fall. Careful of the sprinklers they come on early. Nice big clean showers/bathrooms( family style).
TravelerAbsolutely overrun with flies.
ScoutIn the summer when the area is busier I think we would have love this more. Happy we were able to find free camping in this area. It’s a recreation area, so when we arrived we saw some in the distance fishing and another person bike riding. We were the only ones camping, and there was some unknown activities of others who came and went that we were unsure of. We would have felt better if someone else was camping somewhere. Nothing happened though and it was a cool spot. Definitely think when other campers are around this would be a great spot!
ScoutThere is a picnic table, fire pit, and pit toilet. T-mobile service had a few bars.
GuideIt’s hard to believe this place is free. Nicer than some National Forest campgrounds with the same amenities. Pit toilets and that’s it. The toilets were clean and the one by our site even had a light on! It was a quiet stay and convenient to see Shoshone Falls, and resupply at Costco or Walmart just to the north in Jerome. Don’t skip the scenic overlooks at the bridge on highway 93, beautiful views, and we even watched a couple base jumpers there

Very quiet near river.

This use to be a first come first serve stop over. There was always a spot and you could stay two weeks. Now it is a reserved system. Now like all reserved sites they are booked weeks in advance and usually only on weekends making them unavailable for those of us traveling through needing to stay through a weekend.
LegendFairly quiet with occassional car racing by. Very close to city of twin falls. Has vault restrooms and firepits at the sites.
LegendUncrowded. Fire pits and bbq. Clean and well stocked Pit toilets. Lots of space between sites. Lake front. Fish jumping. Few bugs. Quiet. Bright lights on the dam. Full LTE service

A nice place to stay for the night. The owner was very helpful and easygoing. We enjoyed our dinner under the pines and watched the sunset.
ScoutBeautiful camp site super easy to access, we got by fine without 4WD. Unfortunately people have kind of trashed some of the sites there was broken glass and lots of other litter
ScoutThe campground was very nice. The only negative is the ground and grass areas are pitted with holes from gophers. If tent camping bring a good ground cover to put tent on
TravelerNice layout, large spots, friendly people, useful signage about the surrounding area, and two clean well maintained pit toilets (one even had a night light). This spot is wonderfully close to town, feels very safe and convenient. Highly recommend this spot to anyone passing through!
TravelerThis is a very beautiful area to camp out in. Not far off the river with places to drive right up to the edge of the water (with the right vehicle). Wildlife was very active; lots of mosquitoes and bats at night. Dirt road leading to the area has some pretty rough spots and some washboarding, but it’s all doable. The road that actually takes you down into the canyon has a steep sharp downhill turn with large rocks, depressions, and soft silt. I managed to get down in my Ford Transit Connect (pretty sketchy), but I had to try a couple times before I could make it back up and out the next day. So BE AWARE: gravity can probably help you down without getting stuck, but remember that you will have to get back up, and if your vehicle is 2wd and particularly heavy or low or is bad with hills, it may not be a breeze. (Maybe I’m just being dramatic though lol) I probably won’t risk it again, the stress was too much for my poor nerves.
ScoutIt is literally hidden out in the hay and corn fields. The road down into the canyon is ok for small trailers, vans, trucks. The water was out so the bank was a dusty desert and at the waters edge was a thick swampy mess with gross stinky mud foam…. So swimming was out of the question. We found a pull in area under a cluster of trees that was perfectly serene. Will definitely go back. Large black beetles are bad there and bugs as expected. Nothing to cause a big issue, we brought a bug zapper and net enclosed canopy!
ScoutWonderful place for free camping, even better than some dirt but with 20bucks over....

We followed our GPS plus there is great signage leading you to the Y Knot Winery, which is the same route to go to Three Island Crossing State Park. The state park is adjacent to the winery campground(CG). You first come to the older CG across from the winery building, which is better suited for smaller rigs. We were in the newer CG a little further up the road in pull-through site 26 with FHUs. As we had a reservation with an assigned site number, we went straight to our site, set up, and then walked back over to the winery to register. The sites have an interesting layout as they are long, yet the front and back of site not really defined. You have to adjust your rig on the gravel pad to fit your rig to the utilities towards the back of the site. You then ensure that either side of your rig isn’t too far on the gravel road. The CG is bare bones with no picnic tables, fire pits, nor WiFi(saw a review for$6 Wifi but didn’t see any networks in the new area). It was no issue for us as we were enjoying the winery and golf course. Since the CG is new, the trees have not matured and you have no problem with satellite. We got one bar on Verizon. Their water pressure is high so you will need a reducer. We got an end cap site and enjoyed the large yard. The CG info states there’s a pet area, but there’s no sign or fenced in area. The pet area is a grassy area along the golf course side of the CG according to the map. There was no road noise, but there was a distant train or two during the night. There’s a lot to like about this CG: nice sites, wine tasting, decent food, and a fun golf course.

We stayed a week in July, and the green trees in the pictures are all dead skeletons now with no shade at all. There is a constant smell of a combination of septic and farm compost. The one advantage was an onsite parts store and repair shop.
