ScoutIt isn't to far from a town, spots are not close together, close to the water to either swim or fish. Pet friendly. Down side. Gravel for tent sites No shade And from 6pm on all you hear are trains
GuideStayed 2 nights during a baseball tournament. This campground is alongside a State Highway with lots of traffic. As a result a little noisy during the day. Campground and hosts very nice. Parking pad very level, no leveling required. I would recommend trying to get the first 15 campsites to lessen the noise, and enjoy the artesian fed lake for some relaxation!
TravelerThis place is an absolute hidden gem! After seeing some of the lower ratings, I was hesitant, but our stay here turned out to be incredible! We paid just forty dollars a night for a massive space right off the Snake River, with green, grassy ground all around us—a total steal compared to the luxury resort next door. With only sixteen spaces, we had so much privacy and room for our thirty-five-foot RV, tow vehicle, and extra cars. Even better, it's got a dump station and water fill station right on site, plus being right on the green belt is perfect for our dog. We'll definitely be back!
ScoutHidden gym just up the road first come first serve. I think there’s eight little spots each has its own tent, parking spot and gravel pit. There’s also bathrooms and access to the river with popular fishing, floating and other activities.!! but the best part is it’s free! While I was here, I sound variety of campers vans motorhomes tents tear jobs even a three axle trailer!
GuideConvenient and free campspot located just off the interstate. It provided a peaceful and restorative stop during our travels. The proximity to the highway made it incredibly accessible, saving us valuable time. Despite its location, the site offered a surprising sense of tranquility. We would certainly recommend this spot for anyone seeking a comfortable and uncomplicated overnight stay.
ScoutFriendly staff and nice location.
GuideOwner called and moved us to site 3, I’m so glad she did. You would never know that you were next to a RV storage. Lots of birds nesting and with babies. We sat for hours watching them from our campsite
TravelerIt's a beautiful place. You do come up on signs that tell you private private but it just to the house. Stay to the left. We had a 25ft rv .
ScoutNice grounds, developed sites. The "dirt" road is 2.1 miles to the site. Excellent road. No dust, very hard pack of the dirt, good cover with small gravel. Lots of birds, including pheasants.
Bring your mosquito 🦟 repellent.
Good turn around for campers with trailers.
