    Snake River RV Park & Campground

    Snake River stay

    Easy to find. Short drive from the campground to some restaurants, gas stations, grocery store, etc in the area. There are 2 bar/grills walking distance from the campground. Has a Heated pool. Fenced in dog areas. we were just there for one night while we were passing through. So im not sure how the amenities were, i never used any of them. I thought it was actually on the snake river when i booked it. But its not quite on the river. Lol but it was still a nice stay for the night. The staff was friendly, and the lady at the desk gave me a little stuffed snake for staying at “snake river”. It was cute.

    Nice and Quaint

    Very 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.

    Wolverine Canyon

    Lots of dispersed camping options

    We needed a spot to spend the night on our way back to Montana. Our timing worked out for the Idaho Falls area and Wolverine Canyon came up as an option. It’s all paved road until you get to the mouth of the Canyon, then it’s a well maintained gravel road. A few washboard spots but easy to tow a trailer even 30 ft long. Most camp spots are right off of the main gravel road. Saw several camps set up over Memorial Day weekend, and we didn’t have a problem finding a spot for the night. Lots of spots have some wear and tear from target shooting, previous camping, ruts in mud, etc, but more than suitable for a boondocking setup. Be sure to pay attention to BLM boundaries, as there is some checkerboard ownership with private lands and the fence boundaries aren’t always signed. Beautiful setting! Lush, green, rugged rock cliffs along the drive.

    Wolverine Canyon

    Quiet and simple

    About thirty minutes outside of Blackfoot before you hit gravel road. We only drove a short distance on gravel before we parked in a wide spot that had a fire pit. We could hear the babbling creek all night. So soothing. So quiet. Poor cell service.

    Heise Hot Springs

    5 Stars – A Family Favorite We’ll Keep Coming Back To

    This was our third time at Heise Hot Springs, and every time we go—it just gets better. Our kids love it, we love it, and the entire place feels like a peaceful, family-friendly escape. 

    We love that we’re camping on real grass(not gravel or dirt), and the large fire pits make evenings around the campfire feel extra special. The hot springs are just a short walk from the campground, which is a huge bonus when you’ve got kids(or tired feet). Whether we’re grabbing pizza, ice cream, or hitting the restaurant, everything is close and super convenient.

    The campsites are wide open and well-spaced, giving you breathing room and views—not neighbors on top of you. Drivers are respectful and go slow for kids, which is huge in our book. One of the best moments? A staff member picked up me and the kids and gave us a lift back to our camper—friendly, thoughtful, and exactly the kind of service that makes this place stand out. 

    It’s also close to Idaho Falls if you need to make a run for supplies, but honestly, once you’re here, you really don’t need much. They’ve thought of everything.

    The only thing that truly sucked—and obviously nothing to do with Heise itself—was hearing that President Trump had been shot while we were camping. It was a heavy moment during an otherwise joyful weekend. We’ll never forget where we were when we heard that news.

    Heise remains one of our favorite spots to unwind, reconnect, and make memories. We’ll absolutely be back again—and again.

    South Tourist Park Campground

    Open city bear bone camp site next to Snake River

    Nice little gem of a bare bones city camp site next to Snake River. No hook ups. There is a dump site, fresh water and toilets. There is a small boat launch. A few back in sites but mostly just pull next to the side sites with picknick table and fire pit. 16 campsites. Some tent campers. No reservations, just first come first serve. No wifi. AT&T was LTE with 2 and sometimes 3 bars. Train tracks nearby with loud train noise twice during the night. Because it is a city open park there are people occasionally driving through. No security but there is a camp host. As of Sept 2024 the price is$18 per night.

    Snake River RV Park & Campground

    Maybe for an overnight stay

    A bit run down. Picnic table covered in bird poop. Site seemed washed out. Kinda sandy. No firepit or grill at my site. Pub and grill next door for wine, beer and basic bar food, arcade, family friendly. Verizon service was good. Wifi terrible. General store was poorly stocked. The area seemed industrial. Staff was nice. Bathroom was clean.

    Lava Hot Springs West KOA

    Not camping, but still great

    Don’t get me wrong. This is not camping. But it’s the perfect spot if you want to be around all the fun action of Lava Hot Springs. You’re walking distance to the river, restaurants, the pool and all the fun stuff in Lava. We were on site #1 which is by the playground and dog park, because we had both on our reservation. At first we were upset at our location, but it was actually great. Everything is clean and well managed and management made sure people kept to the quiet time.


Guide to Firth

Glamping near Firth, Idaho offers access to the Snake River Plain at approximately 4,700 feet elevation. Summer temperatures often reach the upper 80s with cool nights dropping to the 40s, making it practical to pack layers for comfortable overnight stays. Eastern Idaho's camping season typically runs from mid-April through mid-October, with some sites available year-round.

What to do

Fishing at Snake River sites: The Snake River RV Park & Campground offers fishing opportunities with convenient river access. "We did get to watch a great thunder storm roll over us that night," notes Tyler S. about his outdoor experience at Snake River RV Park.

Hot springs relaxation: Lava Hot Springs West KOA, about 45 minutes from Firth, provides thermal pools for soaking. A visitor mentioned, "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."

River tubing: The Portneuf River offers seasonal tubing adventures. "They have canoeing, rubber tubes, evokes, vespas and four wheelers available," writes Louis L. about activities available through Lava Hot Springs West KOA.

Hiking at Wolverine Canyon: Explore trails with rock formations and creek views. Mary M. notes, "About thirty minutes outside of Blackfoot before you hit gravel road. We only drove a short distance on gravel before we parked in a wide spot that had a fire pit. We could hear the babbling creek all night. So soothing. So quiet."

What campers like

River views and sounds: Peaceful creekside camping spots at Wolverine Canyon provide natural sound barriers. "It was small, but quiet. Poor cell service," reports Mary M., highlighting the remote feel despite proximity to towns.

Spacious sites: Wakeside Lake RV Park offers room to spread out. "The sites here are very spacious and mostly level. They are gravel. The trees in most sites are very mature and great for shade," explains Brenda L., noting the practical benefits of the campground layout.

Easy town access: South Tourist Park Campground provides convenient access to Idaho Falls. "There is a bike path right from the campground that follows the river and leads to downtown Riverwalk area," shares Lisa, detailing the practical connection between camping and urban amenities.

Clean facilities: Heise Hot Springs maintains well-kept grounds and amenities. "It's a small but extremely clean campground with everything you need. There are plenty of things to walk to, including a fun play area for children," writes Brian C.

What you should know

Train noise considerations: At Lower Portneuf Campground, trains pass regularly. "However one fatal flaw is that there is a railroad crossing about 100ft from the sites, and we experienced about 8 trains coming through between 1am-6am. Which meant that every time they crossed they had to sound their horn multiple times," explains Isaac.

Seasonal closures: Some campgrounds close during winter months. At Kelly Island Campground, a visitor noted, "When we arrived, the gate was pad-locked. Sign indicated open hours; but not that it would be closed for the season."

Limited cell coverage: Wolverine Canyon has spotty connectivity. Julie reports, "We didn't have a problem finding a spot for the night. Lots of spots have some wear and tear from target shooting, previous camping, ruts in mud, etc, but more than suitable for a boondocking setup."

Bathroom facilities vary: Snake River RV Park offers full facilities while dispersed sites have limited options. "Bathroom was clean," notes Sean E., while adding that "the area seemed industrial. Staff was nice."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Snake River RV Park & Campground offers dedicated play areas. "The park for the kids was perfect and the pool was open too! Beautiful grounds and close to everything in town," reports Katie H.

Lake activities: Wakeside Lake RV Park provides water recreation options. One camper noted, "My kids loved playing in the lake," while another mentioned the site "is on Wakeside Lake in Rexburg. The lake is good for boating, or if you have a paddle board that would be fun."

Noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience traffic noise. Rachel C. observed at Snake River RV Park, "They certainly have all the amenities including showers, a pool, hot tub and playground. It was nice having these amenities after several days without. However the sites did not have much space between them."

Wildlife viewing opportunities: In rural sites, livestock and wildlife sightings are common. "Beautiful area and scenery," Adam B. says about Wolverine Canyon's natural setting.

Tips from RVers

Hookup variations: South Tourist Park Campground offers basic amenities without full hookups. "Only amenities are bathrooms (pretty clean) and water filling stations. The price for one night was $40 though!" reports Carrick M.

Leveling requirements: Many sites require minimal leveling. At Snake River RV Park, "It was beautiful sites long and level! Easy in and out," according to Kathy F.

Dump station access: Campgrounds with sanitary dumps save travel time. "They have a potable water and a dump station. You need to park and go to the box near the host station to fill out the card and pay," explains Jamie C. about South Tourist Park.

Weather preparedness: Summer storms can move through quickly. According to Robert R., "It rained the first night I was there, and the roads (and my site) were a muddy mess," describing conditions at Snake River RV Park.
