"The fire pit was also located in this area but safely away from the table. The green meadows, surrounding trees, and excellent maintenance made this a beautiful campground."
"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."
from $17 - $125 / night
Check Availability"Pro tip: don’t try to find this location using Apple Maps. iOS will take you to the main road ands that’s it. Then you have to hunt for the dirt road that goes to Warm Slough."
"Great spot to hang out outside of Rexburg. Each site has a fire ring and plenty of privacy. Toilets are operating and clean. Right on the banks of the slough and there’s even a resident moose!"
"Decent campground with big sites (plenty for a big motor home and trailer) close proximity to dunes, maybe couple hundred yards. Dump station on site. Water hookups on site."
"There is access to the Saint Anthony Sand Dunes so bring your ATVs."
"But Beaver Dick Park is the perfect place to camp if you are looking for a campground that feels safe (close to other campers) while still having your privacy (trees between most campsites)."
"It’s feels secluded but you are also near other sites so it still feels safe! It includes a playground and picnic areas that I’m sure would be great for families! I love this little park!"

TravelerVery nice "state of the art" RV Park. Clean showers, nice clothes wash facilities, dog friendly with fenced run area, cat approved by "Liza", just in her trailer trash tabby space. Great access to Tetons and Yellowstone, good shopping overall in Sugar City and nearby Rexburg. But ! It's not boondocking or cheap, so we'll live with it for our Yellowstone and Teton visit
ScoutI’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!
LegendThis was an unexpectedly nice place. The long drive down the dirt road brings you away from the highway and close to the river. Even at 5 pm there were open sites. A couple sites are double sites and priced accordingly.
There is a gravel pad for parking, tent and picnic table. Surrounding that is forest and flowers. These obstruct direct view of the neighbors on one side and minimize viewing the others. 2 vault toilet locations with numbered water faucets.
Suggestion: site 9 has the restroom light shiny into it. We were fine because our teardrop had no windows in that direction.
My dog and I headed out on the short path from the campground (it leaves from one of the campsites). It joins the Box Canyon Trail and you have a choice of two directions. We went left and found a long but easy hike giving views of the river and even a waterfall. People could be seen fishing and also rafting/tubing down the river. There are other national forest campgrounds in the area with a variety of activities. This is a place to visit!
RangerThis 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.
GuideContext: this is not an RV resort nor a wilderness experience. It is a pleasant, scenic, rural highway-side campground. We stayed in early May en route from Bozeman to Moab. Small pleasant campground near the highway between Yellowstone and SE Idaho sights and Jackson Wyoming. Small cottonwood shaded sites adjacent to farmland and Teton views. Clean bathrooms with warm comfortable showers. The campground is ideal for a stopover or basecamp for visiting the west-side of the Tetons, Craters of the Moon, and other sights in SE Idaho (or passing through on trips between the Greater Yellowstone Region and Utah). Hookups, wifi, 5G Verizon service. Only drawbacks, are possible wind and some highway noise. The owners, living on-site in a beautiful farmhouse, are friendly and accommodating. It is a trusting handshake type of reservation, payment, and communication system (cash or credit card on site).
UPDATE: as of 2023, online reservation system and payment. Easy to use.
ScoutThis campground is located in the heart of Island Park. Close to a few general stores if you are in need of supplies. Also close to Harriman State Park with plenty of hiking and some of the best birding in Eastern Idaho. Campsite 21A is particularly nice along the river. Campground is only open during the summer months. Wooded sites with plenty of access to the river for fishing or wading.
TravelerVery nice and quaint campground. Smaller tent sites and large double tent or trailer sites. Right on the river, good for fishing. Very clean, even the pit toilet bathroom was clean. Nearby to hot springs, off roading/short hikes/mountain or dirt biking trails and areas. Only $5/night with your National Parks Pass. Dog friendly and awesome fire pits (clean and not warped racks for grilling) We will definitely be back.
LegendLet me preface this by saying that we have often found diamonds in the rough at county park campgrounds but are not finding this to be the case (at least so far) in Idaho. Situated on a lake, many of the “interior” sites are right on the lake, with direct lake access. The good news is that at 6 pm on a Sunday, the entrance booth was still staffed, although they could not tell us which sites were available. Instead, they told us to drive around and come back with several choices. There were several waterfront sites available and many of the ones across the street were vacant. This was our second attempt at finding a place to land for the night, but after taking a drive around, we decided to keep looking as this type of campground attracted more of the loud, partying, ATV driving type, which is not our crowd. However, in deference to those who prefer this type of campground, I am giving it three stars. 50 sites but only two pit toilets (plus a third by the beach). A few waterfront sites looked empty as were most of the sites on the other side of the road. Be forewarned that sites 39, 40, 43, 44, 47, and 48 back right up to Highway 20 so you will definitely hear road noise. If you like this type of campground, go for it; it was not our cup of tea!
RangerWe 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
Dubois sits in eastern Idaho at 5,145 feet elevation with notable temperature fluctuations between day and night. The area forms part of the Caribou-Targhee National Forest with access to both high mountain terrain and lower elevation campsites. Winter temperatures regularly drop below freezing with seasonal closures affecting campground availability from late October through April.
Hiking near snake river: Several campgrounds provide access to riverside trails with options for both day hikes and longer excursions. At Riverside Campground, visitors appreciate the "beautiful views right by the river" with "large spots" making it convenient for hikers to set up base camp before exploring. The trails remain accessible during summer months, though many become muddy during spring runoff.
Disc golf: Beaver Dick Park includes an on-site disc golf course accessible to all campers. A visitor notes it's an "excellent short course" with the added benefit that "many of the hiking trails are currently flooded due to high water" making disc golf a good alternative activity during high water seasons. The course is suitable for beginners with most holes under 300 feet in length.
Wildlife viewing: Early mornings provide the best opportunities for wildlife sightings near camping areas. Campers at Warm Slough report "a resident moose" in the area, and the campground provides a "quiet and peaceful" setting for wildlife observation. The sites along the water offer particular advantages for birdwatching during morning hours.
Secluded sites: At Beaver Dick Park Campground, campers appreciate that it "feels secluded but you are also near other sites so it still feels safe!" The park achieves this balance through strategic placement of trees between campsites, creating natural privacy barriers without complete isolation.
Water access: Many visitors specifically seek riverside camping opportunities. One camper described Riverside Campground as having "forestry in between sites. Lower A loop is closer to the river," indicating the most desirable water-adjacent sites. At Warm Slough, campers enjoy being "right on the banks of the slough" with direct river access for fishing and water activities.
Level campsites: The terrain at most established campgrounds in the Dubois area features relatively flat, usable spaces. A visitor to Egin Lakes noted the "campsites are like a parking lot. The tables have wonderful covers over them." While not naturally beautiful, this practical layout makes setup easier for larger groups and families with multiple tents.
Winter closures: Many campgrounds operate seasonally. According to one camper at Stoddard Creek: "We arrived here kind of late at night. This campground is pay site but down the street a little further is free more primitive camping... the water was turned off because it was mid October and the water needs to be turned off before it freezes."
Pet policies: Dog friendly campgrounds near Dubois include options for both established and dispersed camping. At West Dubois Pulloff on Route 22, pets are allowed but limited facilities mean owners must pack everything needed for their animals. One visitor notes it's "windy and open views" with "not much protection" for pets or campers.
Temperature fluctuations: Even during summer months, temperatures can drop significantly overnight. At Riverside Campground, one camper reported it was "a bit buggy mid summer but tolerable" with temperature shifts making evening campfires necessary even in July. Campers should pack layers regardless of season.
Playgrounds: For families with children, certain campgrounds offer dedicated play areas. At Beaver Dick Park, one camper notes there's a "fun, little park for the kids" and the campground has "a great little spot where the river slows at the park where you can sit on the dock, fish, and even play in the water. Great place to camp- especially with little kids because you are still close to civilization!"
Safer swimming spots: While many waterways have strong currents, some campgrounds offer more controlled water access. At Beaver Dick Park, one visitor shared that the site includes "disk golf! Excellent short course. Water access from a ramp about 400' from camping." This distance provides a safety buffer for families with small children.
Group sites: Families camping together can take advantage of larger designated areas. At Wakeside Lake RV Park, "our site was large and shaded by beautiful mature trees," making it suitable for multi-family camping. The park offers options for both tent camping and cabin rentals when family members have different comfort requirements.
Power options: The available electric hookups vary significantly between campgrounds. At Egin Lakes, campers have access to "individual campsites with electrical hookups" which one visitor found "very accommodating." The established sites include both 30-amp and 50-amp service depending on the specific campsite.
Road access: Many RV sites near Dubois require careful navigation. At Riverside Campground, one reviewer cautioned that while sites are accessible, they're "not big-rig friendly" with limited turning radius at some campground loops. RVs over 30 feet should research specific sites before arrival.
Dump stations: Most established campgrounds with RV sites include dump facilities. At Egin Lakes, a visitor confirmed there's a "dump station on site. Water hookups on site. (Not in individual sites)" allowing for proper waste management without full hookups at each spot.
