Three Island Crossing State Park Campground
Nice cabin, but not much to do after 5 pm and too expensive
We knew it would be hot when we visited this campground, so sprang ($55) for one of the few cabins with air conditioning. It was clean, small, and just fine. But there wasn't too much to do after 5 pm when the visitor center closed. No playground we could find, and the water isn't safe to swim in. Once the visitor center opened up in the morning though, that was an absolute gem. Would probably stay here again but just get a regular camp site. The cabin wasn't really worth it.

Miracle Hot Springs
Not for RVs or for people concerned about Covid
We stayed at Miracle as Banbury was fully booked for RVs sites. However, it was great to be steps away from the river.

No sewage but had electric and water (that leaked; rented spot 4 that many ppl thought was a drive through lane).

No one in their hot springs (including staff) were wearing masks or setting suicidal distant rules. No Verizon reception until you drive up the hill a little bit. Oh, and you'll have a great breeze of manure all day long.

Trail Break RV Park & Campground
Listen to the sounds of highway cars and trains all night
We originally planned to camp at Three Island state park, based on the positive Dyrt reviews, but when we arrived there, the posted fee for sites was $34, which we found too expensive for our mere purpose of sleeping and then hitting the road again. We remembered a sign on the way to the park that read "Camping - RV + Tents. Less $$$ than state park." So we figured, heck, let's just go there. We read quickly online that the prices for tent sites are $15. Perfect! We arrive at 11pm, which yes, it's late, BUT the office sign was blinking "OPEN." So we thought no problem. We ring the camp host. He sounds grumpy but arrives a couple minutes later. He is definitely grumpy. He tells me they do accept credit card and it will be $25. I ask for clarification given the listed price online. He says "New policy as of 6 days ago. I'm sick of people arriving late at all hours." Fair enough...but turn off the "Open" sign. I agree to pay it, we're exhausted at this point, and at least the campground has showers.

Some pros: very close to highway

Some cons: very close to the highway and a train track.

The tenting experience: we listening all night to the sound of bug zappers, hourly train whistles, and speeding cars. See the video for reference. The tent sites were flat at least. A basic grill but no picnic table provided. It is probably convenient to have the wifi and laundry on-site, but we wouldn't know because we left as soon as we could after a near sleepless night.

Alturas Inlet Campground
Good escape from the summer heat
Alturas Lake Inlet campground is tucked into the lovely, shady forest around it. We saw plenty of birds, chipmunks and tiny wildflowers were all over our site in early July. The lake is a short walk but some campers drove over just to make it easier to tote their chairs and water gear. Bring layers - it can is cool in the evenings and at night (40s F) even in July but warm in the day, especially if you are out by the lake. We tent camped at site 17 and although it was near one of the many vault toilets, smaller trash dumpsters, and water spigots, our site was bigger and we set up a decent distance from it. Most sites seemed to have a good distance between each other and enough privacy courtesy of trees and various plant life. We didn’t have any issues, but there plenty of signs reminding campers to be bear aware. (We are pretty careful to keep our food, cooking supplies, toiletries and whatnot in our car when not in use anyway). We did not have cell service (Verizon) and it was a bit of a drive before we got it again. Overall, it’s a beautiful retreat well suited to escaping the heat of summer if you have a tent or small trailer/pull behind.

Trail Break RV Park & Campground
Clean, simple and decent priced sites
Tent sites and rv sites available!

Tent sites are on a nice large green patch of grass. Park right next to your tent.

The bathrooms are locked for paying campers only and have a sink, shower and toilet. Very clean and nice.

There is also a locked washroom for paying campers to use as well.

The owners live on site and are very friendly and are happy to help with questions!

Very decently priced when all you need is somewhere to set up your tent for the night and get up and go in the morning. Would also be great for staying longer!

Located in the town of Glenn’s ferry but still far enough away from public so you don’t feel like you’re camping in town.

Restuarants, gas stations and a few convenience stores within a 10 minute drive of the campground.

Interesting history is available to see close to the campground as well. Learn about the Oregon trail!

Beautiful, spaced out sites
This area is just 10 minutes south of Galena Lodge and 25 minutes north of Ketchum. We arrived on a Friday morning and had no problem finding a shaded, private site. There seemed to be a ton of options as you drive down Baker Creek (dirt road). Many have established fire pits.

Not too bad!
This campground was a nice break after spending the last few nights at Walmart's. Yes, you can hear road noise but still quieter than the city! There were a lot of level spots to chose from and the trees were a welcomed sight in the 90 degree heat.

Smiley Creek Lodge
Expensive and low quality
We stayed here to be close to redfish lake to snatch a spot for camping there in the morning. For that it served its purpose but that is all that is positive about it. We had to pay 114 dollars for an rv site that was not level, did not have a picnic table or a fire ring, or even place to put a table and chairs. The bathroom is very far away, and there is only one, which does not have a door, but a shower curtain. The location is nice, but if possible I would keep driving to find a better place.
