TravelerThis is a safe place to park. It has an even surface in all the 13 sites. The bathroom was not clean, however, it had not been maintained since March and we visited in June. Most importantly, it will not stay free. In mid-June. It will cost you $20.00 per night. 😢
TravelerThis is a beautiful, clean, safe park conveniently located in Twin Falls just be prepared there's no dumping you have to go down to the gas station to dump.
TravelerGravel sites some pull through some back in. Wide open no shade but right across the bridge to Twin Falls. Sign on bathroom did say $20 per night starting 5/25/26 we stayed 25th and 26th security went trough both nights checking sites never asked for payment and there was no info about how to pay so I don’t know what will happen in the future.
ScoutUsed the Fairgrounds as a base to see Shoshone Falls, and Twin Falls. Clean, safe. Friendly staff at fairgrounds. Be aware no bathrooms. Have to use Stinker station a block away if you need it. $20 per night water/30amp power. Pay at fairgrounds office.
RangerAs previous reviews kinda have stated the area looks to have been recently redone and there aren’t very many spots available at least for tent camping. We were there on a Sunday night and somebody had already taken the spot on the left fork so we elected to the area right on the river on the right fork.
Overall it was a nice spot but the train definitely is a factor. Probably passed by around 4 times while we were there. So if you have trouble going back to sleep after being woken up this might not be the spot for you. Also, expect there to be boaters coming by to put in and fish.
If you are not tent camping there is a decent sized parking lot with multiple spots to pull in for the night. I put a more detailed video on YouTube titled: Idaho Campgrounds - Frank C Jones Access Area
ScoutRight on the highway, all the Loves functions. I got a back in spot for my 40’ setup. 20 trailer, 20 pickup. Fire rings and picnic table at each space. New location, so all new baby trees, so no shade or wind break. Just a convenient place for the night. You can book through the loves app.
GuideIt’s as described but they are starting to charge $20/night, effective May 25, 2026. Sign didn’t say if it is a permanent change or just for the summer.
TravelerTwin Falls 93 RV Park is an expensive, run down, in need of repair rv park that provides only the basics. It offers restrooms, showers, laundry, dog parks and is about 15 minutes from the city of Twin Falls. Our site was not level (off about 4 inches) and many other sites were not level either. Most motor homes had the front tires off the ground. Unfortunately, they are very expensive for what you get, which includes sites that are only 50 feet or less in length (forcing you to park your truck sideways if you have a trailer over 35 feet or motor home), even though they say they are deluxe sites and big rig friendly. Many times there were Class As and Class Cs that were parked in the rv park roads by several feet due to the sites not being long enough. When driving through the park you have to be very careful due to so many big rigs extending past the short sites and into the interior roads. On some of the sites, the grassy area with the hookups is higher than the rest of the site, making it difficult to hook up the sewer so that it drains properly. There is a man made concrete pond that is completely dry and full of debris, as if it hasn’t been used in years. The whole time we were there, 2 of the dryers in the laundry room were broken, and the remaining dryers required 2 cycles (double the cost) to actually dry the clothes. There is a bench in one dog park that has a broken back, which was not fixed in the time we were there. For what it costs to stay there ($1,281 for a little over a month after good sam discount), you would think they could afford to fix things, which makes us think they just don’t care. The rv park wifi was completely unusable, because it dropped every minute or two. The park was very noisy, being right next to the highway. Water quality is very hard which stained our shower floor and walls. No late checkout was permitted even though they were not busy when we checked out. We will not stay here again.
LegendThis is a full blown campground! No hook ups, trash, or such, but it does have pit toilets. It is very well maintained with designated large gravel spots and a large circle over flow lot. We are in the over flow and it is perfect (except a little horse smell since it is bt horse corals). This is one of the best free camp spots I have found. It fills up by evening so get here before 5 is my recommendation. It is patrolled by security/ police and it looked like they were taking license plate numbers last night to make sure no one stays longer than the 5 days max.

Wildlife encounters: Several campgrounds offer opportunities to observe native animals. "I woke up to the chattering of a crap-ton of birds. And I was not disappointed to find a large owl preening itself in the tree towering above my site," reports Brandon S. about his Frank C Jones experience.
Train noise: Multiple campgrounds have nearby railroad tracks that create night disturbances. "Gave this five stars because it was safe, and beautiful sounding to sleep to. Just be warned - at 7am you may be woken up to cars pulling in next to you and the sound of a boat scraping at the loading launch dock," reports C L. about Frank C Jones.
Cell service variability: Coverage can vary significantly between campgrounds even in close proximity. "I didn't want to stay cause I needed phone service to do work. Verizon and AT&T both did not work for me," shares Mk A. about connectivity challenges.

Winter limitations: Many facilities close seasonally. "In the winter it is not plowed, so you can't access it. Found out the hard way, lol," warns Jacob D. about Little Camas Reservoir's accessibility.
Educational history opportunities: Three Island Crossing State Park provides historical context. "This park had an awesome museum area," shares Rachel G. about the Three Island Crossing State Park Campground.

Camping close to amenities: Trail Break RV Park provides easy access to supplies. "Located in the town of Glenn's ferry but still far enough away from public so you don't feel like you're camping in town. Restaurants, gas stations and a few convenience stores within a 10 minute drive of the campground," notes Tatiana G.
Budget options: Several campgrounds offer affordable stays. "Welcoming and quiet. We called on our way east from Boise an hour before they closed and they were super pleasant. We were able to grab a 30amp spot since it was hot outside and we had our pets. It was very affordable for power only ($20 in 7/21)," mentions Bill M.
RV park amenities: Mountain Home RV Park provides full facilities. "Lots of spaces but fills up fast. Original spots have very nice green grass with mature trees. New area is coming along great, nice grass with growing trees. Lots of activities here, pool, children's play area, dog park, basketball court, gym and nice laundry room," notes Vernon S. about the Mountain Home RV Park.
Site layouts: The arrangement of utilities affects setup. "They have an interesting layout as they are long, yet the front and back of site not really defined. You have to adjust your rig on the gravel pad to fit your rig to the utilities towards the back of the site," explains MickandKarla W. about the Carmela RV Park at Y Knot Winery.
Water pressure considerations: Bring necessary equipment. "Their water pressure is high so you will need a reducer," advises MickandKarla W. about an important detail for protecting RV plumbing systems.
Accessibility challenges: Not all sites accommodate large rigs. "My camper is 32' long. There is a small turnaround on the left fork. The dirt is 'moon dust' and got stuck. See photos and video. Turn right there is a paved turn around area," warns Cyndy & Selena R. about Frank C Jones area access.
