    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.

    Goodenough Creek Campground

    Quiet creek side free camping

    We arrived here around 8:30pm after the sun set so we couldn’t really see much. Had the doors and windows open all night, wonderful breeze, quiet except sounds of nature. Woke up to an amazing sunrise and sound of the creek. Just lovely and it’s Free!

    Idaho Falls Luxury RV Park

    They thought of everything

    Large spaces with plenty of room between. Clean and paved. Only complaint is super loud railroad tracks, but they give you ear plugs lol.

    Riverside Park Campground

    Riverfront spot

    This was perfect. I got a spot right on the bank of the Snake River. It has all the basics.. a picnic table, fire ring, most sites also have bear boxes for food storage; there are vault toilets, firewood for sale, and potable water available.

    $20/ night for sites, $40 for some sites that are double tables/parking.

    I didn’t have any neighbors, and I would guess maybe only a quarter of the sites were occupied. In the evening it did get a little annoying with lots of moth‘s flying everywhere. They seem to like to land on my white truck and I had to cover my food while I cooked, and kept the tent closed. Not a big deal, but they were noticeable.

    While not this campground per se I thought it’s worth mentioning that just across the river there are also a large number of free dispersed campsites, some right on the river, some along the road as you travel away from the river. To get to the bridge you still take the Riverside Campground exit off the highway below the damn. Pass the campground cross the bridge and you’ll see them on your right for about a mile. I didn’t stay there. It looks like they have firings and nothing else but they’re free and plentiful.

    Indian Rocks - Dispersed Camping

    Nice & Easy Access

    This place is right off the highway so it made it a super easy spot to get to for a quick overnight stay. There were other campers and everyone was quiet and respectful, the spaces are spread out a nice distance so that we aren't right next to our neighbors. You can hear highway noise but it wasn't too bad, and the view is a pretty rolling hills.
