What to do
Explore riverside paths: South Tourist Park Campground connects to the Snake River pathway, allowing campers and their dogs to enjoy walks along the water. "There is a bike path right from the campground that follows the river and leads to downtown Riverwalk area," notes Lisa, who appreciated this connection to town activities.
Visit nearby recreation areas: Juniper Group Campsite provides access to Ririe Reservoir with fishing opportunities. "The fishing at Blacktail is good for Rainbows and perch - highly recommended. The area is out in the middle of nowhere and was only 1/4 full. A great spot to reach Idaho Falls or the Grand Tetons, and Jackson Wy," explains Greg G., highlighting the strategic location.
Disc golf at county parks: North Bingham County Park offers a disc golf course suitable for all ages. "Very friendly people to talk with, with plenty of shade to enjoy being outside. There is a 'Frisbee golf course' for all ages and great paths to take your dog for a walk," reports Bill B., who enjoyed the recreational options.
What campers like
Clean bathrooms and showers: Idaho Falls Luxury RV Park maintains excellent facilities. "The bathrooms were extremely clean and the showers were huge, with hot water that lasted for a long time," writes Brian C., who appreciated the comfort level during his stay.
Level camping spots: Snake River RV Park provides well-maintained sites. "The spaces are very big and flat. The people are very friendly and helped us find a good rv repair man who even answered the phone on a Sunday afternoon," reports Debbie M., highlighting both the site quality and helpful staff.
Quiet locations outside town: South Tourist Park Campground offers more peaceful settings for pet owners seeking tranquility. "A few nice spots right on the river. They have a potable water and a dump station. Fairly cheap for a couple nights stay," writes Jamie C., noting the value and riverside location.
What you should know
Train noise considerations: Several campgrounds near Firth have railroad proximity that affects light sleepers and sensitive pets. "Light sleepers may not be happy. Only real complaint was that it has a lot of traffic noise (constant hum) and a VERY LOUD train that went by a few times during the night, blowing its whistle," Lisa warns about South Tourist Park.
Site spacing varies significantly: Bingham County Park Rose Campground offers more spacious settings. "This was easy to get into and had plenty of places to pull off of the paved road and they were level. No hookups but easy to get any size rig in and out and there is a nice paved walking path around the area," notes Lost Moose Meadows Campground L.
Seasonal operation limits: Many campgrounds in the Firth area operate seasonally. North Bingham County Park runs from May 1 to September 30, while Fairway RV Park maintains its pet-friendly policies from April to mid-October.
Tips for camping with families
Look for playgrounds: Snake River RV Park offers family-friendly amenities. "The park for the kids was perfect and the pool was open too! Beautiful grounds and close to everything in town. We would stay here again!" shares Katie H., highlighting the recreational facilities.
Consider crowding factors: During peak seasons, some parks become very busy which affects comfort with children and pets. "We had planned to stay 2 nights at the Snake River RV Park, but it was very crowded and the sites were too close together. We had reservations, but still ended up in an overflow area," Joel R. cautions.
Check bathroom access codes: Some parks require codes for restroom facilities which can be problematic for families arriving after office hours. "The office was closed and you needed a code to access the restroom which we could see no way of obtaining," Lee D. notes about one park experience.
Tips from RVers
Water pressure awareness: Bring pressure regulators for hookup sites. "Water pressure is good around 60 PSI," Mark P. advises about Juniper Group Campsite, noting the stronger-than-average pressure that could affect RV plumbing systems.
Leveling requirements: Pack extra leveling blocks for some parks. "You will need some extra support under your rig as the grounds slope as the land would. Just be prepared to do some adjusting to get level," Lawrence P. recommends for pet-friendly camping near Firth, Idaho.
Check site size before booking: Confirm space dimensions match your rig. "Large spaces with plenty of room between. Clean and paved," notes Leah about Idaho Falls Luxury RV Park, contrasting with tighter arrangements at other facilities.
