Best Glamping near Dubois, ID

This campground and the adjacent Falls were recommended to me by a local, and what a find! The campground was very small(9 sites, I think), quiet, and beautiful. The outhouse and campsites were extremely clean. All sites had electric hookup available; camping fees were $30 with hookup and $15 without. The campground is located on Mesa Falls Scenic Byway, near Ashton, Idaho, and is a short walk to The lower Falls. I will definitely return to camp at this tiny gem.

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!

Lovely camp grounds, this was a last minute decision and so glad we stayed here. Nice level spot with picnic table and fire pit. Bathrooms with pit toilets but no running water or showers. No hookups...Plenty of spots available and it was peaceful. We like to be spread out from our neighbors and you are here!

It is also close to Coolidge ghost town if you want to check it out. That is ultimately what brought up out this way and what a neat place to hike!

I really enjoyed this campground. The bugs were pretty aggressive in the afternoon but improved after a small storm passed. The sites are large and level, easily accessible for even large RVs. There were multiple vault toilets, water pump, group sites, and individual sites. For $8 a night, the campground is very well maintained. You may wake up to the sound of a cattle herd in the area and use caution on the curvy mountain road cause it is open range. No cell phone service with Verizon but very close to lots of great parks and trails.

We recently used Westlake RV Park in Rexburg, ID as a quick stopover during our travels. It's a quaint, older campground with well-maintained facilities and noticeably clean surroundings, which we appreciated.

The campground is on the smaller side, yet the spots are generously wide, providing ample space for our RV. However, it's worth noting that our site was only equipped with a 30-amp service, which may be an issue for larger rigs requiring more power.

Unfortunately, there isn't much in the way of entertainment or activities for children. This could be a drawback for families looking for a more engaging camping experience.

All in all, Westlake RV Park is a practical choice for a brief stay or a stopover, but perhaps not the best fit for those seeking a more kid-friendly environment or requiring higher power service.

A very simple RV park, nice shade, easy to access beach on a manmade lake. Staff was super helpful. My only complaint was that their website says there's a playground and I could not find one. My kiddo was entertained enough by the water though so it worked out.

Not sure that should count as a toilet. I feel more comfortable in the bushes. But other than that loved it.

Beautiful setting, walking distance to supplies, easy on/off highway

Overall it is a very nice place but the utilities need updated and the hotel remodeled. Just kinda old, and not in a rustic way.

Very Nice Campground in the Targhee National Forest in the Island Park area. Riverside with fishing access. Dry camping with dump station near by. Picnic tables and fire rings

Each year, thousands of fly fishermen ascend into Harriman State Park and nearby town of Island Park, ID to fish the famous Henry’s Fork of the Snake River. As we planned our Yellowstone vacation, we decided to spend a few days fly fishing and camped at Riverside (Id- Targhee). 

Campground Review: Just around 15 miles north of Ashton, ID, and a few miles to Harriman State Park on US Hwy 20, the entrance of Riverside campground is clearly marked. The area was formed by a large caldera and sits about 6300 feet above sea level. Riverside campground is about a mile down a dirt road and sits right on Henry’s Fork. Roughly 30 camping spots and 1 group site. The sites were well laid out and plenty of space and privacy from each site. Surrounded by thick lodge pole pines, we didn’t hear much road traffic. Our site was less than 25 yards from the river, and we had great access with a handful trails leading to several areas of the river. There are a few bear boxes to share with other sites around the campground and several super clean restrooms. Probably the cleanest I’ve used. We didn’t spend a lot of time at the site during the day due to our main objection was to slay trout, but at night after a great day of fishing, we were able to relax and have a good night camping under the stars. The campsite’s fire ring was awesome. Cement ring with a moveable metal grate with a heavy duty cast iron pole with arms to hang your dutch oven over the fire. We have a rooftop tent but the campgrounds have some nicely laid out tent boxes to park your tent. We did see some sites with concrete flooring around the picnic areas. Overall, very well laid out campground with some good sites to enjoy the great outdoors. We camped at A012. We really had to go out of our way at our site to see our neighbors so tons of privacy. We had a big open sky to stargaze at night. Best of all: No mosquitos. We camped in the middle of August. My boy and I camped at a different campground in Island Park in June, and there was so much standing water that it bred armies of mosquitos. Not this trip. We also had good cell phone reception at this campground. The only bad thing I could come up with is that there was only trash dumpster near the front entrance so ridding your garbage took a little work. There is a boat launch so if you have a drift boat, you can do it right there. Island Park is about 8-10 minute drive if you need some supplies or gas. 

Product Review: As a Dyrt Ranger, I get to test products! At this campground, I tested The Vista in hunter green trucker hat from Banner & Oak. As an outdoor enthusiast, I wear a lot of trucker hats and Banner & Oak really stood out from other hats I’ve worn. Stiff, thick material with a mesh backing and secure adjustment to keep my head airy. I really enjoyed wearing it and has quickly become my favorite hat. I really love the color and the high quality patch. If you’re not a fan of deeper hats, I recommend you do not get this hat. It fit my big noggin perfectly.
