"Biking, hiking, walking along the Boise River. There is also some great fishing on the Boise River. This location is centered for city goers, snow skiers, white water rafters and anglers."
"Feels like a little oasis tucked in behind the fairground and baseball stadium. The green belt and river run right by it. Super friendly staff. Variety of site types."
"While exploring southeastern Idaho we were looking at some extreme temps coming our way and wanted the luxury of electric hookups for AC."
"Great spot right in Boise city limits, but right next to the airport and highway. Facilities are very nice and staff is very friendly. Only issue was the road noise."
"The location is near the the central part of Meridian, there is no open land, rivers or other natural attractions within walking distance. "
"This KOA is located close to everything you need in the Meridian Boise area. The sites are pretty close, and the wifi is not great. Those are my only reasons for the 4 star."
"This RV park is home to some super nice Idaho people. Lots of long term tenants, lots of nice open social spaces. Just a friendly place to be. Everything you need is here, pool, market, open space!"
"Very well kept park, close to Boise and other surrounding towns. Close to each other is the only downfall if you like privacy."
"Sites felt pretty tight next to the “neighbors”."
$42 / night
"The sites are a bit narrow, with sites A, B, and C having trees placed immediately behind the RV. Sites A and B are setup such that you have good parking right in front of the rig/trailer."
"I do not fall in this category so I could not go in but it is near my house so I drove around the base to see if it was visible from the road. "
$20 - $40 / night
"The view of the River is nice, but the noise and outside distractions are not my cup of tea. But it's close to town, so there's that...."
"And it is very very close to Boise within 20 miles from Airport, so you can virtually forgot all the camping equipment b/c you can buy / rent them quickly as it is so close to big city"
"We stayed at the Ambassador RV Resort in Caldwell, Idaho in July and September 2021. This is one of the nicest, cleanest, well-maintained parks we have stayed at."
"Easy access to the park easy from Hwy. Fast check-in and huge pull throughs"
"I drive a cargo van and it shook everything to the point where I didn’t want to do 30 minutes of it."
"Parked our tow behind camper right on the beach. It is very muddy so don’t get too close to the shore, we had to help two vehicles get out of the mud. Also very buggy which is why is lost a star"
TravelerReturned this month for another try to setup here at Pine Flats. Site was level, easy to backin Fairly shady. Far enough off the highway to kiss most of the traffic noise. Nice place to disconnect from electronics and relax. We did notice a group of kayakers in the campground using it as base.
GuideThis is a nice place. Not too expensive, close to town, traffic noise isn't bad, great staff and host. It's clean, newer amenities include some limited food items, ice, BBQs, dog area, propane, pool table, tennis court (or whatever ball you want to use for this size net), 1/2-court basketball, volleyball. They even have the balls to use (don't know about tennis or other similar-size balls though).
Large, wide spaces, many pull throughs. I can fit my truck next to my travel trailer. Asphalt drives and stall sites. Showers/restrooms are clean, so is the laundry area, all with newer equipment. Each shower/water closet is its own small room, hooks, bench, ADA accessible, sink, just like your own restroom. Laundry is $2 wash, $2 dry, quarters.
GuideNice campground. Some sites next to beautiful Payette River. Not very crowded on a Monday evening. Bald eagle flying up and down river!
ScoutWe realized that the campground did not supply water and sewage. We tried to cancel but heard nothing from the host. The area looks close to a water treatment plant. Not suitable for us.
Traveler360 views of the mountain range. Beautiful, large sites with covered picnic tables. Heated pool is a hit!!! Nice disc golf trail that I used for hiking with the dogs. Staff is super friendly and flexible, and always busy keeping the grounds beautiful. Can’t wait to come back!!!
ScoutWe have stayed at Abundant Life RV Park twice now ~ last August 2024 and late June, 2025. Wonderful facility, folks are great, everyone seems pleasant and helpful! Fun little area to play pool, air hockey, puzzles, do laundry, showers and restrooms (very clean and nice!) Looking forward to staying there again when we travel to Caldwell / Boise area.
ScoutRight off the highway but feels a lot more isolated. Lots of greenery, clean bathroom, and sound of the river. It is off the highway so there is car noises but it’s not bad.
TravelerHere at the beginning of July. Only two other campers. Very hot. 100 degrees. Too hot to do anything. There are few river access points. River is slow moving. Refreshing to sit in. Very quiet camping but dirt roads and a little tricky to get into camp area. Not paved.
ScoutBeautiful location right on the river! With great fishing! Good amount of shade in the campgrounds with sturdy picnic tables, fire pit and steal table for hot pans, food prep or cleaning your fish...now we must have gone when the misquitos were bad because holy cow were they bad, and no amount of anything repelled them. From 8am to about 10 pm, they swarmed us all! We came home looking like we had chicken pox. Our first night (Thursday) was peaceful and not terrible. Friday night though, about 8 cars pulled in and parked like assholes, piled 7 tents onto the beach and blasted their damn mariachi music all night until about 4 am, even though we asked them to turn it down. They had strobe lights, 3 construction type lights projector lights going all night. Total about 20 people. Then saturday night 6 more cars and 20 more of the same group did the same thing except half were in the campground so theor music was blasting up there and on the beach, which they had completely taken over. They were keeping too small of fish as well as fish youre not even supposed to keep, they dumped their trash bags full of their bathroom bucket into the port-a-pottys, left trash all over the place. It was really unfortunate to see that thats how people treat our state and country. Probably a good place to camp later in the season. Just drive very slowly there and back.
