Camping options around Dubois, Idaho range from developed campgrounds to dispersed sites on public lands. Stoddard Creek Campground, located just off Interstate 15, provides shaded sites with picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. Several dispersed camping areas also exist in the region, including West Dubois Pulloff on Route 22 and Stoddard Creek Dispersed Camping, offering more primitive experiences with fewer amenities. The camping areas accommodate various preferences, with some sites suitable for RVs and tents, while others primarily serve tent campers seeking solitude.

Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally, with Stoddard Creek Campground typically open from late May through September. Winter conditions limit camping options, as snow can make access difficult. The dispersed sites generally have no designated season but may be inaccessible during winter months. Several campsites feature level parking areas suitable for different vehicle sizes, though some dispersed locations require navigation on rough roads. Water access varies significantly, with developed campgrounds offering drinking water while dispersed sites require visitors to bring their own supplies. A camper noted, "Stoddard Creek Campground is technically closed in the winter. We arrived late April and most of the snow had melted."

The region receives positive reviews for its natural setting and spaciousness between sites at established campgrounds. Stoddard Creek Campground garners particular praise for its maintenance and cleanliness. According to reviews, "Spacious camp sites and clean nature toilets" make it appealing to visitors seeking a well-maintained outdoor experience. Campers frequently mention the wooded surroundings providing privacy and shade. The dispersed camping areas offer more solitude but fewer amenities, with one reviewer describing the West Dubois Pulloff as "a good option for the night, a bit windy and not much protection." Access to trails, particularly for ATVs and UTVs, represents an additional recreation opportunity for campers staying at certain sites, making these campgrounds popular with mixed-use visitors seeking both camping and motorized recreation.

    Targhee National Forest Warm River Campground

    Right by the river

    Our spot was right next to a wide, shallow spot of the river which the kids absolutely loved. They enjoyed floating and wading in spite of the cold water. The back of the RV pad was wearing out but it wasn't too big of a deal for us. Kids also enjoyed riding scooters around the place.

    The camp host was super friendly and warned us about possible skunks since we had our dog with us. We kept her on leash and it wasn't an issue. The host also included some firewood for us which was nice too.

    Bonneville County Juniper Campground

    I CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW THE CAMP HOST WAS SO VERY RUDE!

    I CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW THE CAMP HOST WAS SO VERY RUDE! The grounds were fine, but the incident that occurred at Juniper Campground in Ririe, Idaho, on the evening of Saturday, September 13, 2025 left a very bitter taste in our mouths about the trip. What was intended to be a joyful family outing turned into a distressing experience due to the conduct of the camp host. My father-in-law and his wife had made a reservation at Juniper Campground for the weekend and invited my family to join them--myself, my two sons, and our grandchildren. We were all excited to spend quality time together and to try out our newly purchased travel trailers. As first-time trailer owners, this was meant to be a fun and educational experience before the camping season ended. Unfortunately, I had previously purchased concert tickets for an event at Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls scheduled for Saturday evening. My sons and I decided to briefly leave the campground to attend the concert and return afterward. We left in the early evening and returned around 10:20 PM. Upon arrival, we found the second entry gate--through which we had originally entered--locked with a padlock. We then drove to the first gate, which had rising arms and red LED lights, but it did not respond. I exited the vehicle to search for an intercom or manual override, but found none. While attempting to look up a contact number, a white truck with an orange cone in the back approached rapidly. The driver, who identified himself as the camp host, immediately confronted me in an aggressive and profane manner. He shouted,"What the hell are you doing at my gate?" I calmly explained that we were campers returning from a concert and were trying to re-enter the campground. He responded with hostility, saying,"The gates are locked at 10 PM. Didn't you read the rules?" I replied that we had not received any rules, as my 78-year-old father-in-law had checked in first and inadvertently failed to pass them along while we were focused on setting up our trailers. The host continued to berate me, accusing me of lying and using profanity such as"Bullsh*t, everybody receives the rules." When asked for our campsite number, I was momentarily unsure, as my father-in-law had directed us to our spot upon arrival. While I searched for the information, the host continued to question our motives, saying,"Why are you leaving and returning to the campsite this time of night?" I explained our concert plans, only to be met with further disbelief and ridicule. He mocked my Van Halen t-shirt and claimed,"Nobody goes camping to leave for a concert," and"Those bands sucked. The last time I saw Van Halen was in 1979." At this point, I attempted to clarify our situation, but the host warned me that if I raised my voice, he would not allow us back into the campground. After locating a screenshot of our reservation details, I showed it to him. He finally allowed us entry and handed me a printed copy of the rules, stating,"Next time, read the rules." This interaction left me feeling humiliated, belittled, and treated as though I were a criminal. The camp host's behavior was not only unprofessional but bordered on harassment. I understand the importance of rules and quiet hours, but they should be enforced with courtesy and respect--not hostility and profanity. I am deeply disappointed by this experience and will not be returning to Juniper Campground. I'm leaving this review to ensure others are aware of the treatment we received. Guests deserve to feel safe and welcomed--not intimidated or verbally abused.

    Idaho Falls Luxury RV Park

    Beautiful, clean, and green.

    Very well laid out gated park. Spacious, clean restrooms (toilet /shower). Great laundry located in same block as restrooms. Each site has a picnic table and our had built in charcoal BBQ, heaters and chairs.. Couldn't fault anything about this park, they have thought of everything.

    perfect spot off highway

    The potholes coming in are huge. However, it’s the perfect spot off highway to camp. 14 day limit.

    South Tourist Park Campground

    Bare but decent, unexpected price

    The other reviews are accurate! Only amenities are bathrooms (pretty clean) and water filling stations. The price for one night was $40 though! Not sure when they made that change but I wouldn’t say it’s quite worth that given proximity to highways and trains.

    Wakeside Lake RV Park

    Great overnight stop

    We actually stopped here for 3 nights. We were at the grand Tetons and had racked up some laundry and needed to chill for a couple of days before heading to Glacier. The sites here are very spacious and mostly level. They are gravel. The trees in most sites are very mature and great for shade. We were in site 27 and it’s close to the laundry and bathhouse. If you want shade make sure not to get the first few sites towards the front as they don’t have as much shade. There are a couple of grassy areas to walk dogs at the front. Full hook up was also nice and even though no cable we had several channels come in. Easy access to HWY 20 but the road noise wasn’t really noticeable at all. Catch and release pond and rent poles for $5

    Eagle Park Campground

    Nice single night place to Stay

    Site is relatively unbusy with Campers but you may have locals walking a small trail pass by on main road or see others fly fishing in small stream that runs through park. Overall Pit toilets none seem to lock and nine had TP so bring your own. Road noise isn't bad but be aware site 24 is closest to an airport. South of camping area is a Water Treatment Facility and with a bad wind you can smell it.
