Best Campgrounds near Firth, ID

417 Reviews

Eastern Idaho offers a variety of camping options near Firth, ranging from established campgrounds to dispersed sites along the Snake River. North Bingham County Park provides RV and tent sites with water and electric hookups, while Snake River Dispersed offers more primitive camping experiences for those seeking solitude. The region includes both public and private campgrounds, with several facilities offering cabin rentals and glamping accommodations within a 30-minute drive of Firth.

Road conditions and campground access vary significantly by season, with most facilities operating from May through September. Many campgrounds like North Bingham County Park close during winter months. "This was our first attempt to find a place to land in the Idaho Falls Area. Located about 10 miles south of Idaho Falls, it is a relatively new 12-unit RV Park," noted one visitor about North Bingham County Park. Travelers should check seasonal availability, as weather conditions can impact access, particularly at higher elevations. Snake River sites typically remain accessible year-round, though amenities may be limited during colder months.

Waterfront camping areas receive consistently positive reviews, particularly along the Snake River where several campgrounds offer direct water access. Sites near Idaho Falls provide convenient access to urban amenities while maintaining a natural setting. The area features a mix of private RV parks with full hookups and more rustic public campgrounds with basic facilities. According to one camper at Juniper County Park, "We were pleasantly surprised by this gem of a campground just outside Idaho Falls, which we used for one night on our trip through the area. The bathrooms were clean and showers were a nice touch." Campgrounds closer to Idaho Falls tend to have better cell service and more amenities, while those in more remote locations offer greater privacy and scenic views of the surrounding landscape.

    Portneuf Bend Campground

    Lower portneuf campground

    Exactly what I was looking for

    Saw this campground on Dyrt while heading to Grand Teton NP and needed a layover spot to catch some ZZZZs for a night. It's a no frills campground with 8 sites with tables and fire pits. There is a pit toilet in the picnic area (a very short walk). Train tracks are 30 yards away, no biggie, but yes, they blow their horn at the track crossing into the campground. A few came by throughout the night. Honestly, they really didn't bother me. I didn't realize what a great spot it was until the next morning when exploring the river area. WOW! Awesome! This is a real hidden gem!

    Bingham County Park Rose Campground

    Super lit campsite if just passing through

    Great spot! Definitely a lot of road noise as you are right by the highway but tons of space and some trees and small ponds. Wouldn’t stay here for long but a good pit stop.

    Bonneville County Juniper Campground

    I CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW THE CAMP HOST WAS SO VERY RUDE!

    I CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW THE CAMP HOST WAS SO VERY RUDE! The grounds were fine, but the incident that occurred at Juniper Campground in Ririe, Idaho, on the evening of Saturday, September 13, 2025 left a very bitter taste in our mouths about the trip. What was intended to be a joyful family outing turned into a distressing experience due to the conduct of the camp host. My father-in-law and his wife had made a reservation at Juniper Campground for the weekend and invited my family to join them--myself, my two sons, and our grandchildren. We were all excited to spend quality time together and to try out our newly purchased travel trailers. As first-time trailer owners, this was meant to be a fun and educational experience before the camping season ended. Unfortunately, I had previously purchased concert tickets for an event at Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls scheduled for Saturday evening. My sons and I decided to briefly leave the campground to attend the concert and return afterward. We left in the early evening and returned around 10:20 PM. Upon arrival, we found the second entry gate--through which we had originally entered--locked with a padlock. We then drove to the first gate, which had rising arms and red LED lights, but it did not respond. I exited the vehicle to search for an intercom or manual override, but found none. While attempting to look up a contact number, a white truck with an orange cone in the back approached rapidly. The driver, who identified himself as the camp host, immediately confronted me in an aggressive and profane manner. He shouted,"What the hell are you doing at my gate?" I calmly explained that we were campers returning from a concert and were trying to re-enter the campground. He responded with hostility, saying,"The gates are locked at 10 PM. Didn't you read the rules?" I replied that we had not received any rules, as my 78-year-old father-in-law had checked in first and inadvertently failed to pass them along while we were focused on setting up our trailers. The host continued to berate me, accusing me of lying and using profanity such as"Bullsh*t, everybody receives the rules." When asked for our campsite number, I was momentarily unsure, as my father-in-law had directed us to our spot upon arrival. While I searched for the information, the host continued to question our motives, saying,"Why are you leaving and returning to the campsite this time of night?" I explained our concert plans, only to be met with further disbelief and ridicule. He mocked my Van Halen t-shirt and claimed,"Nobody goes camping to leave for a concert," and"Those bands sucked. The last time I saw Van Halen was in 1979." At this point, I attempted to clarify our situation, but the host warned me that if I raised my voice, he would not allow us back into the campground. After locating a screenshot of our reservation details, I showed it to him. He finally allowed us entry and handed me a printed copy of the rules, stating,"Next time, read the rules." This interaction left me feeling humiliated, belittled, and treated as though I were a criminal. The camp host's behavior was not only unprofessional but bordered on harassment. I understand the importance of rules and quiet hours, but they should be enforced with courtesy and respect--not hostility and profanity. I am deeply disappointed by this experience and will not be returning to Juniper Campground. I'm leaving this review to ensure others are aware of the treatment we received. Guests deserve to feel safe and welcomed--not intimidated or verbally abused.

    Lava Hot Springs West KOA

    Best KOA I ever stayed

    I have stayed at a lot of KOAs but this one would be #1 on my list. It is clean and well manicured. The bathrooms are spacious and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. They are across the street from the rustic hot springs but a short walk or drive to the other side of town are the more modern pools. The town is super cute and very clean. You can also rent tubes to float down the creek that runs parallel to the town. Big beautiful park with lots of outdoor barbecue pits. This is a hidden jewel in my book. Definitely would come back.

    Idaho Falls Luxury RV Park

    Beautiful, clean, and green.

    Very well laid out gated park. Spacious, clean restrooms (toilet /shower). Great laundry located in same block as restrooms. Each site has a picnic table and our had built in charcoal BBQ, heaters and chairs.. Couldn't fault anything about this park, they have thought of everything.

    Blackrock Canyon Recreation Site

    Gorgeous peaceful mountain stop!

    Incredible Mountain View’s. Several pull outs on gravel road. Not a problem with 24’ Class C. There are other trials for ATVs but plenty of nice spots for RVs or tents!

    Snake River Dispersed

    Disappointed with our first Dyrt attempt

    Update-now private property signs have been put up all over just past the first opening so you can’t get to the open area that is good for larger RVs. Have 24’ class C and the dip to get into the camping area was steep and tipping. Couldn’t see river from area as it was very overgrown. Should have taken a picture before we left, but we were in too big of a hurry to get out of there and find a spot for the night.

    The Park At Swan Valley

    Fantastic stay

    My wife and I stayed one night in July 2023. We tend to drive and stop whenever we feel tired of driving. We were looking for a site, and every campground was full. We called the number at, 'The Park' and were told we could use their overflow site. It was perfect for us, very quiet and private. 

    The hosts were friendly and welcoming. We talked while going through the tour of the facilities and were told the history of the location, and their plans for the future.  

    My wife and I travel covering 4000 miles through the upper western US. There are a few campgrounds/RV locations which stand out to us. This is one of the places we've talked about taking a detour just to visit again. I encourage anyone in the area to check them out.
