This was our third time at Heise Hot Springs, and every time we go—it just gets better. Our kids love it, we love it, and the entire place feels like a peaceful, family-friendly escape.
We love that we’re camping on real grass(not gravel or dirt), and the large fire pits make evenings around the campfire feel extra special. The hot springs are just a short walk from the campground, which is a huge bonus when you’ve got kids(or tired feet). Whether we’re grabbing pizza, ice cream, or hitting the restaurant, everything is close and super convenient.
The campsites are wide open and well-spaced, giving you breathing room and views—not neighbors on top of you. Drivers are respectful and go slow for kids, which is huge in our book. One of the best moments? A staff member picked up me and the kids and gave us a lift back to our camper—friendly, thoughtful, and exactly the kind of service that makes this place stand out.
It’s also close to Idaho Falls if you need to make a run for supplies, but honestly, once you’re here, you really don’t need much. They’ve thought of everything.
The only thing that truly sucked—and obviously nothing to do with Heise itself—was hearing that President Trump had been shot while we were camping. It was a heavy moment during an otherwise joyful weekend. We’ll never forget where we were when we heard that news.
Heise remains one of our favorite spots to unwind, reconnect, and make memories. We’ll absolutely be back again—and again.
