Coordinartes: 44.16547,-112.90392. Beautiful views. Large dirt and gravel site, right along side to Skull Canyon Road, about a mile from ID Hwy 28. Canyon walls on each side. Rough narrow rocky track to the site from the highway; recommend high clearance. High humps on this track. Small rock fire ring. Grass and sagebrush all around site. Some leveling may be required. Tent camping possible. Very peaceful; can hardly hear road noise from highway. The only vehicle that drove by was a national forest truck. No cell service. There are several boondocking sites, some with vault toilets nearby, along Hwy 28 in the Birch Creek Recreation Area.

We were excited to find this CG on Dyrt and that it wasn’t difficult to find (in spite of a reviewer’s commenting); but when we arrived, the gate was pad-locked. (Sign indicated open hours; but not that it would be closed for the season.)
Fortunately, we went .5 mile further and found a small dry camping site— maybe 4-6 vehicles could be accommodated. Sign there indicated that there was a 5-day limit for camping. A couple of other vehicles came in; but none chose to join us for the night. Camping area is right by the gravel road and there was traffic coming & going late into the evening & early in the morning; but regardless it was a great site w/ privacy from the road.

FS type campground in N ID just off I-15. Campsites at the top of the campground are best. Loop A (we were in A05) faces a road with lots of dry camp and UTV traffic. Also only 1 vault toilet in that loop, while upper has a 2 stall vault toilet. Nice level sites, mainly shady sites. Bear cans. Walking up road we had access to a number of trails some of which are for UTVs but were not busy while we were there. LOTS of RV groups up the road.

Great campsites, with plenty of space. Water and toilets are close by and clean. Plenty of access to the river. Nice mature trees throughout.
Guide
Nice little gem of a bare bones city camp site next to Snake River. No hook ups. There is a dump site, fresh water and toilets. There is a small boat launch. A few back in sites but mostly just pull next to the side sites with picknick table and fire pit. 16 campsites. Some tent campers. No reservations, just first come first serve. No wifi. AT&T was LTE with 2 and sometimes 3 bars. Train tracks nearby with loud train noise twice during the night. Because it is a city open park there are people occasionally driving through. No security but there is a camp host. As of Sept 2024 the price is$18 per night.
Guide
Very helpful hosts. Clean paved site. ATT was available but strength varies. Lots of areas to explore and close to Yellowstone.
Scout
Great spot down by river. Mostly sunny area but found this spot with shade. Rough rd coming in but camper van accessible. Rock fire ring. There are houses across river but this site is private from that . Only bad thing is it’s quite a little drive back here. At 2pm on a Sunday no one around so far.

friends and i left yellowstone at dark and just needed a place to sleep a decent distance from the park so we knew we’d have a place to sleep. arrived late and just found a spot and went to bed. cool spot, nothing crazy but great for a quick night’s stop.

I’ve lived in Idaho Falls almost my whole life and visited Ashton and Island Park countless times and had no idea this was here! I lucked into a first come spot because someone had cancelled their online reservation and was able to stay two nights here. Dog friendly, zero cell service like at all.
I got spot 4, right next to the delightful camp hosts! Electricity at each camp site, two double sites, all the trees you could ever want! A very very quiet and peaceful campground. 10/10. Will be back.
It’s steps away from Lower Mesa Falls! Not far from Ashton if you forget something and close enough to West Yellowstone if you want to stay somewhere further from the park!
Scout
This is a decent spot if you need a place to stop in between Idaho Falls and salmon. Nice and quiet middle of nowhere spot for a middle of nowhere drive. There are a ton of other campsites and sleeping opportunities along the highway north of here that are part of the birch recreation zone.
Traveler
Good option for the night the bit windy and not much protection
ScoutOff the main road. Good location with swimming, Zip line golfing and hiking.

Beautiful campground camp host was very helpful

This is a 25$ a night stop. Has water fill stations and two bathroom stations with pit toilets that are so clean! We got there at midnight and the camp host came out and talked with us and they had three open spots which was surprising for it being late and during July season. Quiet and spaced out. Amazing fire pit and new picnic tables and a stand for our cooking stove. And cellphone signal which we haven’t had at any spots! Lovely little spot
ScoutWe decided to camp on the way back up from Jackson and found this little gem! There were plenty of RVs camping in open areas right by the entrance but if you follow the dirt road, there’s more secluded spots within the trees. The road was a bit rocky, but our sedan made it through with some careful maneuvering.
Guide
Located about 25 minutes from West Yellowstone off of HWY 20, this campground is a great jumping off point to explore Yellowstone park. There are other campsites including a couple KOAs located closer, but they're busier with campsites closer together and fewer trees and minimal shade. This is set back far enough from the highway that it's very quiet with ample space between campsites. Some sites have electrical hookups. Ours didn't but the weather was perfect and we didn't need AC at all.
We did have a campers nearby who showed up the last two days of our 5 days full of boys who were a bit noisy early in the morning (before 730a), but we didn't really mind. There was a spigot to fill our water tanks in the loop we stayed, but we filled up from the area host who has a hose for that purpose before we wen to the site. Due to the location in the loop, you have to go all the way around the loop before you get to the spigot, so it was good we filled up before we went to the loop.
RangerGreat clean well spaced CG. Some reserved sites and some drop in sites. Accommodate large rvs. Water spigot at about every 3rd site. Trash, vault toilets. Hiking trails were mostly just atv trails.
Ranger
About 8 large spots with bear boxes and picnic tables and fire pits. No toilets or trash. Good room for rvs. In jun, bring mosquito repellant, the worst I've experienced since AK.
Ranger
Very well maintained campgrounds. $25/night or $31 with elec. Very clean restrooms (kudos to the hosts!). Site access to river for fishing, tubing or kayaking. Great hiking too!
RangerGood sites with river access. 25$ without power (powered sites are $31

Next to the Creek, large spots, picnic tables and bear boxes. Bring insect repellant
Ranger
Decent quiet camp sites while we were visiting. Many day use folks visiting for fishing, kids playground or luncheon cookouts. Many of the hiking trails are currently flooded due to high water
RangerDisk golf! Excellent short course. Water access from a ramp about 400' from camping. One large group site. Some trails (most were underwater during our visit). Small kids playground. Only negative was all camp trash was overflowing in each can even though park was only 20% filled... maybe trash collections missed a week
Guide
Easy online reservations, level concrete pads with electricity and water. Clean pit toilets. Great, clear lake. For our preferences, it had too much interstate road noise and too many people. To be fair, though, we stayed over on a beautiful Saturday, and the park seems to be popular with the locals.
TravelerGreat spot, we picked the spot by the river, its butiful.
