    Little Camas Reservoir

    Good overnight stop

    This was a nice place to stop overnight. The views were very nice even though the reservoir is nearly dry (more like a pond). It’s only 2 miles off of the paved road on a decent gravel road with a little washboard. Has a vault toilet only, no other facilities or trash. Plenty of room for any size rv or tent.

    Frank C Jones King Hill Area

    Awesome overnight spot on snake river.

    This is a great little spot with a boat landing & 5 small campsites surrounded by trees and the river. I so wanted the spot where I could literally open my door with nothing but greenery and the river to look at! It was the best sunset view and gurgling sound of the river I’ve seen in my relatively inexperienced boondocking life. But my truck and trailer couldn’t clear the tree branch overhangs. But still got a nice spot close to the landing, and still nice!

    The train is a bit noisy & hwy 84 is not too far away, but that’s kind of a plus thing too. Relatively easy access for small trailers/vans from I-84 (very narrow dirt road for about 1/4 mile or so from the frontage road & down a big hill). My truck and trailer are about 40’ feet long, and I had no problem turning around in the turn around area, but definitely too many trees and such to back in blind into a spot.

    Twin Falls-Jerome KOA

    Jerome / Twin Falls KOA

    This is the worst place we have ever stayed. Dirty and gross. No grass in pet areas just compacted dirt. Game amenities were filthy. Ran out of water during the night. We knick named the park KOA Compton.

    Trail Break RV Park & Campground

    Flies

    This location is really easy to find, not far off I84. People are very nice! The flies have been the only downside. But, a breeze has picked up, and they are gone. Nice and quiet! Well, hywy noise, but that doesn't bother us.

    Hayspur Hatchery

    Hatchery is a nice stop over

    We wanted to fish nearby at the preserve, so decided to camp at the hatchery. Quiet campground and was able to park under shade trees. Walked over to the Hatchery, it was interesting to see the fish. Cute fishing lake at the campground (perfect for kids), my husband had some fun with his fly rod. Campground cost is donations only. Glad we stopped here.

    Cauldron Linn BLM Dispersed

    So. Many. Flies.

    The farm road out has a small patch of very rough road. It was just passable in my non-lifted Sprinter. There is a smallish open area to camp at the top, it’s very exposed and you will have approximately 15 flies in your car in 90 seconds. The road down to the water is beyond tore up- I don’t know how anyone makes it down. The water is very green/slimy, I had my dog jump in but I wouldn’t dunk myself. We didn’t stay.

    Cauldron Linn BLM Dispersed

    Gorgeous but beware washed out roads

    Farm road to BLM awash with loads of potholes but can be navigated cautiously. Once at the Cauldron, do not go down to the river unless you have 4WD. Whilst you can get down, recent rains mean the doable steep climb back out is riddled with massive dips and rocks. While I did get out in a 2WD (small) van with a lift, it took a few tries and a kindly fellow camper who could watch and help me troubleshoot a doable path. Great hiking all around the Snake River offers serenity with dramatic rock formations and vegetation. Beautiful migration of myriad geese at night. Campers have left their marks in disappointing ways, so please pack out what you pack in. Sheriff came by around sunset—due to hazardous road and shady business on weekends.

    Billingsley Creek Campground

    Brand spanking new

    Fantastic campground. Road and sites are paved with full (50/30/120v) hookups. Gravel area next to each site for sitting/campfires. Has bathroom and showers (NFI). Sites are spaced out so minimal noise and more privacy. Short drive or walk into Hagerman. Only drawback was a lack of trees but it’s flat and in the middle of pasture land so..
