      Bruneau Dunes State Park Campground

      Wide Open Spaces

      While the sites themselves leave much to be desired, Bruneau is awesome. The camp hosts have been there for 7 years and are super friendly and helpful. The restrooms are in tip-top shape and there are several features that made this an awesome spot for our family-a dog park within walking distance, open grassy space for playing whiffle ball, etc and the ability to ride bikes to the Dunes-about 1 mile from the Broken Wheel site. It does get super windy though. And although we have only been in the fall and spring, I have heard you really cannot walk on the sand in the summer-too hot! Overall, we love it.

      Mountain Home RV Park

      Greenery in the desert

      Very nice well maintained rv park. 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. Showers and restrooms very clean.

      Twin Falls-Jerome KOA

      Quiet but close quarters

      Road noise is minimal depending on where you are in the RV park. Love the amenities for everyone (playground, dog parks, pool, mini golf, etc). Full hook ups available. $45 w/KOA membership (10% off), pull-through, full hook-ups. Would stay again. Very friendly and helpful family who run it. Only downside is shared pull-throughs: Literally looking in the window of our neighbors on driver’s side. There are cabins here.

      Mountain Home RV Park

      Nicest RV Park I've Ever Been To

      I've been a full-timer for several years now and have stayed in many parks. This is by far the cleanest, nicest park I have ever seen. The sites are wide, spacious and clean. Lush green grass and shady mature trees at every site. All concrete pads. Private bathrooms with showers! The dog park is stunning. The roads are paved and there's not a single piece of gravel in sight! You really have to see this place to believe it. It's like a little neighborhood!

      Twin Falls 93 RV Park

      Expensive run down RV Park

      Twin 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.

      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!
