"Lots of space for my dogs to run around. Could see other campers in the distance. Everyone had lots of room to themselves. I could see it becoming a little bit busier on the weekend."

"You’re close to a lake, you c an fish the river, (we also panned for gold,) and there’s even a town close by if you forgot any essentials!"

"Probably passed by around 4 times while we were there. So if you have trouble going back to sleep after being woken up this might not be the spot for you."
"Just be warned - at 7am you may be woken up to cars pulling in next to you and the sound of a boat scraping at the loading launch dock. Great place if you want to be close to the water."
"We actually pulled out onto the dry bed of the reservoir so we were close to the water. We could easily walk down a slope to the water for fishing. We caught a few bass and trout."

GuideVery nice well maintained rv park. Lots of spaces but fills up fast. Original spots have very nice green grass with mature trees. New area is coming along great, nice grass with growing trees. Lots of activities here, pool, children s play area, dog park, basketball court, gym and nice laundry room. Showers and restrooms very clean.
GuideI've been a full-timer for several years now and have stayed in many parks. This is by far the cleanest, nicest park I have ever seen. The sites are wide, spacious and clean. Lush green grass and shady mature trees at every site. All concrete pads. Private bathrooms with showers! The dog park is stunning. The roads are paved and there's not a single piece of gravel in sight! You really have to see this place to believe it. It's like a little neighborhood!
ScoutBeautiful campground located at the mouth of Sawtooth Natl Forest. Right next to Wood River and surrounded by huge cottonwoods. Vault toilets and well water from spigot available. Pets allowed on leash. Good basecamp for exploring the Sawtooth area and Ketchum! I only knocked it down to 4 stars for highway noise which was rarely bothersome.
LegendThis review is written from a short stay versus a destination campground(CG) perspective. The CG was easy to find, and we followed the instructions in the arrival email to park in front of the office and stay in the vehicle, and somebody would come to us. We did that, and Shelley came out and asked our name, got our package, and escorted us to FHU site 36. We got the normal check-in information at the site versus in the office, which was a nice twist. The site was plenty long enough for our 40’ fifth wheel and F450. The utilities were in the middle of the pad, plus they had two sewer connections, which was nice for us as we have two sewer connections. As advertised, the water pressure was 60+ psi, so we used our reducer. There are trees here, but we were able to use our Starlink. The WiFi was okay, and we got four bars on Verizon. They have two nice fenced dog parks and two laundry facilities. This is one of the better short-stay CGs we have stayed in. This could easily be a destination CG and if we were to rate it as a destination, we would give it the same score. We just didn't see the area as being a destination, in our humble opinion.
GuideWe called on our way east from Boise an hour before they closed and they were super pleasant. We were able to grab a 30amp spot since it was hot outside and we had our pets. It was very affordable for power only ($20 in 7/21) and they were apologetic that they didn’t have a full service hookup for us.
TravelerThe owners are super friendly and onsite. The campground spots are spacious, well maintained and there is a large open grass area. Leashed pets are welcome and mine loves the grass.
The camp spots have fire rings.
I get a tent spot for my rooftop tent and they have flushing toilets, showers, kitchen and laundry onsite.
Well worth the $15 rate!
LegendWe followed our GPS plus there is great signage leading you to the Y Knot Winery, which is the same route to go to Three Island Crossing State Park. The state park is adjacent to the winery campground(CG). You first come to the older CG across from the winery building, which is better suited for smaller rigs. We were in the newer CG a little further up the road in pull-through site 26 with FHUs. As we had a reservation with an assigned site number, we went straight to our site, set up, and then walked back over to the winery to register. The sites have an interesting layout as they are long, yet the front and back of site not really defined. You have to adjust your rig on the gravel pad to fit your rig to the utilities towards the back of the site. You then ensure that either side of your rig isn’t too far on the gravel road. The CG is bare bones with no picnic tables, fire pits, nor WiFi(saw a review for$6 Wifi but didn’t see any networks in the new area). It was no issue for us as we were enjoying the winery and golf course. Since the CG is new, the trees have not matured and you have no problem with satellite. We got one bar on Verizon. Their water pressure is high so you will need a reducer. We got an end cap site and enjoyed the large yard. The CG info states there’s a pet area, but there’s no sign or fenced in area. The pet area is a grassy area along the golf course side of the CG according to the map. There was no road noise, but there was a distant train or two during the night. There’s a lot to like about this CG: nice sites, wine tasting, decent food, and a fun golf course.
