    Trail Break RV Park & Campground

    Clean, simple and decent priced sites

    Tent sites and rv sites available!

    Tent sites are on a nice large green patch of grass. Park right next to your tent.

    The bathrooms are locked for paying campers only and have a sink, shower and toilet. Very clean and nice.

    There is also a locked washroom for paying campers to use as well.

    The owners live on site and are very friendly and are happy to help with questions!

    Very decently priced when all you need is somewhere to set up your tent for the night and get up and go in the morning. Would also be great for staying longer!

    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.

    Restuarants, gas stations and a few convenience stores within a 10 minute drive of the campground.

    Interesting history is available to see close to the campground as well. Learn about the Oregon trail!

    Three Island Crossing State Park Campground

    Nice cabin, but not much to do after 5 pm and too expensive

    We knew it would be hot when we visited this campground, so sprang ($55) for one of the few cabins with air conditioning. It was clean, small, and just fine. But there wasn't too much to do after 5 pm when the visitor center closed. No playground we could find, and the water isn't safe to swim in. Once the visitor center opened up in the morning though, that was an absolute gem. Would probably stay here again but just get a regular camp site. The cabin wasn't really worth it.

    Miracle Hot Springs

    Not for RVs or for people concerned about Covid

    We stayed at Miracle as Banbury was fully booked for RVs sites. However, it was great to be steps away from the river.

    No sewage but had electric and water (that leaked; rented spot 4 that many ppl thought was a drive through lane).

    No one in their hot springs (including staff) were wearing masks or setting suicidal distant rules. No Verizon reception until you drive up the hill a little bit. Oh, and you'll have a great breeze of manure all day long.

    Rock Creek RV Park

    Love this park! First come, first served

    OVERVIEW: The RV park is part of the county park- beautiful walking/bike path with the creek flowing through. Our back in site was nearby our neighbors, but felt spacious because it's an end site directly across from the camp host. Easy to navigate the concreted roads and the space was easy to back in to. 

    Hard to beat $20 for W&E hookups. It's a quiet campground. Trashcans all around the park conveniently. The area as you drive up seems a bit run down, but as soon as you get into the park, it's great. 

    There is a free public dump station 1 mile away in town since there is not a dump station on site. 

    The park has unisex toilets around the grounds that are vault toilets so nothing fancy. Picnic tables, lots of green space around and the trail goes for at least 2 miles round trip. 

    CELL SERVICE: We work remote- We used out AT&T hotspot and had an awesome connection. Reliable for video calls all week. Gradely harshly, giving 4 out 5, only because they don't have wifi and also ideally would have been nice to have sanitizer(especially this year) in the bathrooms. Everything was was lovely. 

    GUEST SERVICES: Camphost was super friendly. We came in around 8:30pm on a Monday night with fingers crossed we would find a spot.. and we did with no problem. If it looks full as you enter, keep going past the camphost and you will find the pull thru options. The camp host came over on his gator and shined his lights to help us as we set up. He was very kind. 

    NEARBY: Close to downtown Twin Falls with some cute coffee shops and breweries. Also about 50 mins away there is a place called Mammoth Cave that might be the most interesting cave experience you ever experience. I highly encourage it.

    Not far off highway

    Trail Break RV Park & Campground

    Listen to the sounds of highway cars and trains all night

    We originally planned to camp at Three Island state park, based on the positive Dyrt reviews, but when we arrived there, the posted fee for sites was $34, which we found too expensive for our mere purpose of sleeping and then hitting the road again. We remembered a sign on the way to the park that read "Camping - RV + Tents. Less $$$ than state park." So we figured, heck, let's just go there. We read quickly online that the prices for tent sites are $15. Perfect! We arrive at 11pm, which yes, it's late, BUT the office sign was blinking "OPEN." So we thought no problem. We ring the camp host. He sounds grumpy but arrives a couple minutes later. He is definitely grumpy. He tells me they do accept credit card and it will be $25. I ask for clarification given the listed price online. He says "New policy as of 6 days ago. I'm sick of people arriving late at all hours." Fair enough...but turn off the "Open" sign. I agree to pay it, we're exhausted at this point, and at least the campground has showers.

    Some pros: very close to highway

    Some cons: very close to the highway and a train track.

    The tenting experience: we listening all night to the sound of bug zappers, hourly train whistles, and speeding cars. See the video for reference. The tent sites were flat at least. A basic grill but no picnic table provided. It is probably convenient to have the wifi and laundry on-site, but we wouldn't know because we left as soon as we could after a near sleepless night.

    Balanced Rock County Park

    Balance Rock

    I love getting away with the family here. No phone service.. I plan a trip here 2-3 times a year just for that reason. Nothing better than to put the distractions away for a couple days. One of the most beautiful and quiet places I have ever stayed. Little stream for kayaking or fishing. No power sites but the sites all have a grill and fire pit. Bathrooms but no showers.

    Balanced Rock County Park

    What a find!

    This was the best find of our trip from San Francisco to Yellowstone. It’s a little off the beaten path and seemingly in the middle of nowhere.

    Room for about 12-15 camping sites, many having fire pits, a few with tables. All are along a grassy area and river front.

    We showed up at 4pm on a Saturday and found a spot for our 30’ RV. It seems like it’s heavily used during the days but most clear out around sunset.

    We were able to fish, kayak, hike, have a killer campfire, and check out the stars. Great, free river front camping.


Guide to Glenns Ferry

Three Island Crossing State Park offers traditional camping and luxury glamping options along the Snake River in Glenns Ferry, Idaho. The park sits at 2,533 feet elevation within a high desert landscape where summer temperatures regularly reach the 90s. Winter camping is limited, with most facilities closing seasonally between late fall and early spring.

What to do

Disc golf course: Three Island Crossing State Park features an 18-hole disc golf course that provides recreation beyond the typical camping activities. "Such a great campground. Something for everyone, even folf!" notes Patricia W., who appreciated the variety of activities.

Historic exploration: Visit the cemetery in Glenns Ferry to learn about early settlers. "We walked through the town and explored the cemetery while we were there! It was a perfect stop on our trip!" shares Lindsay K. from Trail Break RV Park & Campground.

Natural hot springs: Miracle Hot Springs offers natural thermal pools with varying temperatures. "They have different pools of varying temperatures, alligators, trees and plenty of room for each site. I stop by every time I swing through Idaho," explains Jared W.

Kayaking access: 1000 Springs Resort provides direct river access for water activities. "We were able to paddle over to Ritter Island on our paddle boards. The water was wonderful," explains Natalie J., highlighting the easy water entry points.

What campers like

Riverside sites: Campers value spots directly on the Snake River. "We stayed at site #14 which had a great view of the river and the cliffs. We really enjoyed the sunsets from there," shares Italo L. about their stay at Three Island Crossing State Park.

Budget-friendly options: Balanced Rock County Park offers free camping with basic amenities. "This was the best find of our trip from San Francisco to Yellowstone. Room for about 12-15 camping sites, many having fire pits, a few with tables. All are along a grassy area and river front," reports Jeff K.

Private hot springs: Many visitors appreciate the private hot spring options. "I would recommend renting a private room for $40 to soak in your own tub. It was great during the pandemic to have fresh clean water in your own private room," advises Hayley K. about her experience at Miracle Hot Springs.

Tent camping areas: Trail Break RV Park provides dedicated tent spaces on grass. "Tent sites are on a nice large green patch of grass. Park right next to your tent. The bathrooms are locked for paying campers only and have a sink, shower and toilet. Very clean and nice," explains Tatiana G.

What you should know

Limited cellular service: Cell reception can be unreliable in the canyon areas. "No Verizon reception until you drive up the hill a little bit," warns a visitor to Miracle Hot Springs. Plan accordingly for spotty coverage throughout the region.

Weather extremes: The area experiences significant temperature fluctuations. "The way the sun travels they would be cold in the morning wearing coats while I was basking. In the evening i was sipping tea by the fire and they were seeking shade," explains Sadie P. about Balanced Rock County Park.

Train noise: Some campgrounds experience railroad disruptions. "We listening all night to the sound of bug zappers, hourly train whistles, and speeding cars," warns Les R. about Trail Break RV Park, noting its proximity to transportation corridors.

Limited sewage facilities: Not all RV parks offer full hookups. "No sewage but had electric and water (that leaked; rented spot 4 that many ppl thought was a drive through lane)," notes one visitor to Miracle Hot Springs.

Tips for camping with families

Swimming options: Rock Creek RV Park offers creek access for cooling off in summer. "Hidden just off the main road, this lovely park and RV campground is completely unexpected. The Rock Creek winds through the park past picnic tables and covered gathering areas. There are two playgrounds, multiple shelters, a handicapped accessible fishing pier, and biking/walking path," shares Wanderfalds L.

Kid-friendly activities: Look for parks with playground equipment. "A large lawn area is well kept. Make sure to take your frisbee and lawn games. Paced roads are good for littles to cruise on their bikes," recommends Lisa O. about Three Island Crossing State Park.

Safety considerations: Some parks offer more security than others. "This is a park that allows camping. It's not a place you feel comfortable driving off and leaving your stuff out," cautions Sadie P. about Balanced Rock County Park.

Tips from RVers

Dump station locations: Plan your tank management strategically. "There is a free public dump station 1 mile away in town since there is not a dump station on site," explains Julia M. about Rock Creek RV Park, noting this important detail for self-contained campers.

Site selection: Request specific sites when possible. "Site #6 worked well as it was a pull thru. No sewer or dump tank but clean grounds and well taken care of facilities," shares Robert B. about their glamping experience at Miracle Hot Springs.

Winter limitations: Winter camping options are restricted. "The hot springs are great. I asked if I could use a camp sight for the nigh, I told them I am self contained with a great heater. I was not allowed to stay there. So I just parked down the road," advises Israel B. about seasonal limitations at Miracle Hot Springs.
