SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Twin Falls-Jerome KOA features dedicated dog parks and pet-friendly accommodations including tent sites, RV spots, and cabins. The campground maintains clean pet areas with waste stations throughout the grounds. Anderson Camp RV Park in Eden allows pets with designated walking areas on grassy spaces. Snake River Canyons Park - Rickett's RV Camp permits pets at both tent and RV sites, though some visitors note the rocky terrain can be challenging for setting up tents. Visitors staying at Oregon Trail Campground should be aware that pets must use the designated pet area located at the far corner of the park, with signs prohibiting pets from relieving themselves on trees or shrubs.
The paved walking trail at Heyburn Riverside RV Park provides excellent exercise opportunities for dogs, winding through an arboretum along the Snake River. Murtaugh Lake Park Campground offers lakeside sites where pets can enjoy the grassy areas, though campers should watch for honey locust pods on the ground that dogs might try to eat. Most campgrounds in the area maintain standard leash requirements, with Twin Falls-Jerome KOA providing individual bathroom facilities that offer excellent privacy for campers with pets. The Jerome area experiences significant temperature variations, with hot days and cool nights creating comfortable sleeping conditions but requiring pet owners to monitor their animals for comfort throughout the day. Wildlife sightings are common in the area, with coyotes heard at night at some campgrounds, requiring vigilance with smaller pets.

GuideOregon Trail Campground
Very friendly and helpful staff.
We stayed at Oregon Trail Campground in Twin Falls, Idaho in September 2021. This park is a FHU pull-thru site and also has back-in sites. Our site was flat and level and a snap to set up our fifth wheel. The staff here was very nice and helpful with restaurant recommendations. The only negative for us was that we had to take our pets to the pet area, which was at the far corner of the park, and pets are not allowed to potty on any trees or shrubs. Signs were everywhere stating this. It was difficult to get our dogs quickly to the dog area, which is very small and swampy, when they really had to pee. Other than that we enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here again.

Quiet but close quarters
Road noise is minimal depending on where you are in the RV park. Love the amenities for everyone (playground, dog parks, pool, mini golf, etc). Full hook ups available. $45 w/KOA membership (10% off), pull-through, full hook-ups. Would stay again. Very friendly and helpful family who run it. Only downside is shared pull-throughs: Literally looking in the window of our neighbors on driver’s side. There are cabins here.
Mark S.TravelerTwin Falls 93 RV Park
Expensive run down RV Park
Twin Falls 93 RV Park is an expensive, run down, in need of repair rv park that provides only the basics. It offers restrooms, showers, laundry, dog parks and is about 15 minutes from the city of Twin Falls. Our site was not level (off about 4 inches) and many other sites were not level either. Most motor homes had the front tires off the ground. Unfortunately, they are very expensive for what you get, which includes sites that are only 50 feet or less in length (forcing you to park your truck sideways if you have a trailer over 35 feet or motor home), even though they say they are deluxe sites and big rig friendly. Many times there were Class As and Class Cs that were parked in the rv park roads by several feet due to the sites not being long enough. When driving through the park you have to be very careful due to so many big rigs extending past the short sites and into the interior roads. On some of the sites, the grassy area with the hookups is higher than the rest of the site, making it difficult to hook up the sewer so that it drains properly. There is a man made concrete pond that is completely dry and full of debris, as if it hasn’t been used in years. The whole time we were there, 2 of the dryers in the laundry room were broken, and the remaining dryers required 2 cycles (double the cost) to actually dry the clothes. There is a bench in one dog park that has a broken back, which was not fixed in the time we were there. For what it costs to stay there ($1,281 for a little over a month after good sam discount), you would think they could afford to fix things, which makes us think they just don’t care. The rv park wifi was completely unusable, because it dropped every minute or two. The park was very noisy, being right next to the highway. Water quality is very hard which stained our shower floor and walls. No late checkout was permitted even though they were not busy when we checked out. We will not stay here again.

Convenient, Clean, and Friendly
Pulled in for a quick overnight stop on a road trip. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Campground and facilities are very well maintained. Clean bathrooms and showers. Access to the Snake River. Pet friendly with poop bag stations throughout the grounds. Food delivery to your site from the onsite restaurant. Will definitely be back.

Good location / clean
The staff was amazing and very accommodating - we were running on a tight schedule and they agreed to stay after hours to attend to us. They were so personal and easily to talk with. As stated - the sites were tight and provided no real scenery - but they were quiet, safe, clean - and best of all - great location. The public shower like being at home - amazing! Nice pet walking area. If you’re looking for more “state park” feel - this is not for you!

Snake River Canyons Park - Rickett's RV Camp
Good Spot for an overnighter
This is an RV park, but I used a tent. Ground is very rocky, but was able to stake it fairly easily. This site is very close to the town, like a quick 5 minute drive. Road is very accessible as well, you won't have any troubles getting to this site unless your suspension is held together by duck tape. Toilet was as clean as a camp toilet can be! My only real negative is that there were a lot of people and pets around that were making noise, but it wasn't that bad. Oh, and there is absolutely no shade at all.

This is the worst place we have ever stayed. Dirty and gross. No grass in pet areas just compacted dirt. Game amenities were filthy. Ran out of water during the night. We knick named the park KOA Compton.

Smoky Mountain Campground — Castle Rocks State Park
Beautiful location on the edge of City of Rocks National Preserve
The relationship between City of Rocks National Preserve and Castle Rocks State Park is still not clear to me as this campground appears on the National Park Service website, although it is an Idaho State Park. That said, the park rangers seem to work cooperatively. This campground is delightful. Located about a 7-mile drive/walk to the entrance of City of Rocks, Smoky Mountain Campground is situated above the valley providing a wonderful view from many sites including space #19 where I parked my campervan. I believe the walking distance to the reserve could be shorter by taking any of the hiking trails from the campgrounds rather than going along the paved roads which first go away from the City of Rocks then back up again, making a big "U".
During my one-night stay in February, water, showers and bathrooms in the campground were closed for the winter season. A very clean, pit toilet is located in the equestrian parking lot across from the campground entrance. The distance from the campsites to the bathroom will vary from quite close to about 1/4 mile max. And during the winter season, there won't be much competition for the spaces close to the bathroom, as I was the sole user during my time there.
In addition to the breathtaking views, the sites offer privacy from 3 sides though all face the loop access road. There are picnic tables, fire rings and electrical power. I did not note if water was available as it would have been shut off in February in any event. There is a dump station about 1 mile down the road toward the exit. I do not know if it is open in the winter.
Check-in during the off-season is accomplished by envelope collected at the entrance or directly to the ranger who came by in the morning to check-in. The rate was $27 per night. Definitely worth the money to stay in this tranquil campground so close to the magnificent City of Rocks.
Guide to Eden
Dispersed camping opportunities abound near Eden, Idaho, where elevations range from 3,800 to 4,200 feet throughout the region. The Snake River Canyon creates a distinct microclimate with temperature swings of 30+ degrees between day and night in summer months. Campers can find both established campgrounds with basic amenities and primitive BLM sites with canyon views within a 30-minute drive of Eden.
What to do
Fishing at Cauldron Linn: Head to this free BLM dispersed camping area along the Snake River where visitors report good fishing success. "Great fishing, caught at least 4 fish a day while camping (small bass, there were several bigger fish but I didn't have the right lures)," notes Levi J. about Cauldron Linn BLM Dispersed.
Swimming in waterfall pools: When water levels drop in late summer, natural swimming areas form near some campgrounds. "We visited in early August and the river was low enough that we camped out on the beach. A few parts of the road were dicey, especially pulling our 16' trailer. But swimming in the pools near the waterfall made the trek so worth it," writes Ibeya A.
Wildlife viewing at Murtaugh Lake: Bird watchers will appreciate the diversity at this lakeside campground. "Sweet little county park in the middle of farmlands. Woke up to lots of birds, including red-winged blackbirds, yellow-headed blackbirds, white pelicans and swans," shares Thomas B. about Twin Falls County Murtaugh Lake Park.
Exploring canyon formations: Several camping areas provide access to dramatic basalt formations. "One moment you are driving through farmland. The next moment a canyon appears out of nowhere. There is a beach there are waterfalls and the views are absolutely amazing. You need to walk up the rocks and follow the path to the water falls," explains Lisa M.
What campers like
Accessibility to town services: Many campers appreciate staying at locations that balance nature with proximity to city amenities. "Great free BLM camp offers 2 vault toilets and 13 level RV parking pads, each with a picnic table and fire ring, but no electric or water hook-ups," says Gary P. about Snake River Canyons Park - Rickett's RV Camp.
Budget-friendly options: Several free or low-cost sites exist near Eden. "Each space has a picnic table and fire ring, and there are drop toilets and trash bins. All the sites look pretty level. Easy to find off the highway. No trees, so little privacy," notes Kendra T.
Individual bathroom facilities: Some campgrounds offer privacy-focused facilities. "The shower water is good and hot. Verizon signal is pretty good. Super sweet staff. For the $29 I spent, I got my money's worth," shares Beth M. about Oregon Trail Campground.
Uncrowded camping areas: Off-peak visitors often find solitude at certain campgrounds. "We pulled in late lastnight, easy to find right off main road hwy 93, close to Twin Falls. Clean vault toilets, roads pretty well maintained. Large sites with table and fire ring and quite. Sites are free," reports Kristie C.
What you should know
Road conditions to dispersed sites: Access to some of the dog friendly campgrounds near Eden requires careful driving. "Farm road to BLM awash with loads of potholes but can be navigated cautiously. Once at the Cauldron, do not go down to the river unless you have 4WD. Whilst you can get down, recent rains mean the doable steep climb back out is riddled with massive dips and rocks," warns Marasha L. about Cauldron Linn BLM Dispersed.
Insect activity in summer: Several campers mention flies being problematic at certain times. "Beautiful and peaceful but watch out for the flys. This site was a one night stop but I would've stayed a bit longer if I could've it was quiet with some good views of the Snake river and the surrounding canyon walls. The one downside is there is a large amount of flys at this site," mentions Henry W.
Limited facilities at some sites: Not all campgrounds offer full amenities. "The campground is clean. The lake is beautiful. The downside is that there is no dump station. And no sewer connection. There are only pit toilets and no showers," explains Donna R. about Murtaugh Lake Park Campground.
Mobile connectivity varies: Cell service can be surprisingly good at remote sites. "I am so surprised I have service! Car camping with my dog. Right by the water. Several very cool spots to pick from. You need a 4WD. My pup Wolfie loved it too!" reports Faye N.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly amenities: Some campgrounds offer recreational facilities for children. "Lots to do for young children with a large playground, two shallow (2-3ft?) small outdoor pools, one with a water slide (swim and use at your own risk, not attended), putt putt golf (water slide and putt putt extra charge), and snack bar," writes Derek F. about Anderson Camp RV Park.
Safety near waterways: Snake River access points require supervision. "The road down is definitely steep and bumpy in places, take care. Amazing canyon, sites are spread out," advises Mathias.
Terrain hazards for pets: Watch for natural hazards that could affect pets at pet friendly camping areas. "There are lots of what I believe to be honey locus pods on the ground that were tough to keep our dog from eating. There was also what appeared to be some sort of weed killer sprayed on the weeds in the road, which was annoying to make sure the dog stayed away from," cautions Caitlyn R.
Weather preparation: Prepare for temperature fluctuations when camping with children. "We camped in our van by a point on the water on a undeveloped site. In the morning we saw we were across the water from a more developed site with a outhouse, trash bins and picnic table nearby," notes Emma A.
Tips from RVers
Hookup limitations: Many sites offer only partial services. "This fee-free primitive BLM camp offers 2 vault toilets and 13 level RV parking pads, each with a picnic table and fire ring, but no electric or water hook-ups," mentions Gary P.
Parking pad conditions: RVers should note site levelness. "Ricketts BLM RV Camp just north of Twin Falls. This fee-free primitive BLM camp offers 2 vault toilets and 13 level RV parking pads, each with a picnic table and fire ring, but no electric or water hook-ups," reports Gary P.
Dump station access: Plan for waste management as many sites lack dump facilities. "Dump about a mile away. Extremely well maintained. Vault toilets. Lots of paved walkways. Narrow steep, short, paved road in and out, 40 foot rigs navigated in and out," explains Wanda K. about Rock Creek RV Park.
Site availability considerations: First-come, first-served sites can fill quickly. "Found when we wanted to stay near Twin Falls Idaho. Free campground with multiple spots. There are two pit toilets. No water or dump. Limit to 7 days free camping. Very quiet at night," advises James B.
