GuideOregon Trail Campground
Very friendly and helpful staff.
We stayed at Oregon Trail Campground in Twin Falls, Idaho in September 2021. This park is a FHU pull-thru site and also has back-in sites. Our site was flat and level and a snap to set up our fifth wheel. The staff here was very nice and helpful with restaurant recommendations. The only negative for us was that we had to take our pets to the pet area, which was at the far corner of the park, and pets are not allowed to potty on any trees or shrubs. Signs were everywhere stating this. It was difficult to get our dogs quickly to the dog area, which is very small and swampy, when they really had to pee. Other than that we enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here again.

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.

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.

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) and they were apologetic that they didn’t have a full service hookup for us.

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.

Oregon Trail Campground
Good location / clean
The staff was amazing and very accommodating - we were running on a tight schedule and they agreed to stay after hours to attend to us. They were so personal and easily to talk with. As stated - the sites were tight and provided no real scenery - but they were quiet, safe, clean - and best of all - great location. The public shower like being at home - amazing! Nice pet walking area. If you’re looking for more “state park” feel - this is not for you!

Snake River Canyons Park - Rickett's RV Camp
Good Spot for an overnighter
This is an RV park, but I used a tent. Ground is very rocky, but was able to stake it fairly easily. This site is very close to the town, like a quick 5 minute drive. Road is very accessible as well, you won't have any troubles getting to this site unless your suspension is held together by duck tape. Toilet was as clean as a camp toilet can be! My only real negative is that there were a lot of people and pets around that were making noise, but it wasn't that bad. Oh, and there is absolutely no shade at all.
Gavin M.TravelerTrail Break RV Park & Campground
Clean, well-maintained and easy to reach from the freeway
The owners are super friendly and onsite. The campground spots are spacious, well maintained and there is a large open grass area. Leashed pets are welcome and mine loves the grass.
The camp spots have fire rings.
I get a tent spot for my rooftop tent and they have flushing toilets, showers, kitchen and laundry onsite.
Well worth the $15 rate!
Guide to Gooding
The Snake River Canyon area near Gooding, Idaho sits at approximately 3,500 feet elevation in the Magic Valley region. Summers reach daytime highs in the 90s while winter temperatures regularly drop below freezing. Camping options along the Snake River provide access to geothermal features, with several hot springs pools maintaining temperatures between 98-105°F year-round. Wind can be significant in this high desert environment, particularly in spring.
What to do
Kayaking to hidden spots: Access Blue Heart Springs via kayak from Banbury Hot Springs Campground. "We went kayaking for two hours and there were so many beautiful birds. Lots of Mexican food around!" notes Annabeth S. The paddle takes approximately 30 minutes each way.
Fossil hunting excursions: Use Hagerman RV Village as your base camp for exploring the Hagerman Horse Fossil Beds. "It has good access to many boat docks along the Snake and also has easy access to the world renowned Hagerman Horse Fossil Beds," reports Alan B., making it an ideal location for amateur paleontologists.
Hot springs soaking: Reserve a private hot springs room at Miracle Hot Springs for $40. "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.
Outdoor recreation combo: Schedule visits to both Shoshone Falls and hot springs in one trip. "We went to Shoshone falls for a few hours and needed a place to camp. We saw Banbury Hot Springs and we decided to go there. It was AMAZING," shares Annabeth S.
What campers like
Spacious sites with privacy: Hagerman RV Village offers well-spaced sites with mature trees. "Lots of shade and Grassy sites with plenty of space. Well kept. Clean restrooms and laundry. Quiet with no road noise. Level pull-throughs," reports Marty S.
Free camping with amenities: Snake River Canyons Park provides no-cost options with basic facilities. "This fee-free primitive BLM camp offers 2 vault toilets and 13 level RV parking pads, each with a picnic table and fire ring, but no electric or water hook-ups," explains Gary P.
Family-friendly activities: Twin Falls-Jerome KOA provides structured recreation options. "Can't explain it but I just love this campsite. Not the biggest or best KOA I've been too but the mixture of the friendly staff, clean campsites, and cool little gift shop just gets me!" reports Daniel C.
Natural water features: Riverside camping creates relaxing environments. "The camp was great. The tent sites were very nice and grassy, each one having their own picnic table and firepit. There was good parking in the grass in front of the site," shares Dave L. about Banbury Hot Springs.
What you should know
Seasonal temperature extremes: Summer heat requires preparation in this high desert environment. "This campground is quiet, shady and pleasant. Very well maintained, laundry is cheap, $3, and just a joy to be outside. We spent our time around the picnic table, despite 98°temps," explains Alana R.
Limited connectivity: Cell service is minimal or non-existent at many sites. "There was no wifi or cell coverage (T-Mobile or AT&T), so plan accordingly!" warns Jessica about Miracle Hot Springs.
Variable site quality: Some campgrounds have uneven terrain requiring leveling equipment. "Not all stalls are RV friendly, my friend had to move due to her trailer would not level," notes Sonja L.
Irrigation systems: Expect sprinkler activity at maintained campgrounds. "Be forewarned that this park is green and beautiful because sprinklers run at night and may hit your camp chairs and bbq. The staff do warn you about this in advance," cautions Jeff & Steff at Hagerman RV Village.
Tips for camping with families
Multiple swimming options: Plan to visit both natural and developed swimming areas. "We hiked Box Canyon and swam, visited the Fossil Bed NM, and drove to Twin Falls for more swimming, shopping, movie and skating," shares Alana R. from Hagerman RV Village.
Animal encounters: Schedule time to see the resident alligator at Miracle Hot Springs. "There is also an alligator on site too. She looks pretty old and is pretty lethargic but is very pretty," describes Hayley K.
Affordable activities: Take advantage of senior discounts at hot springs facilities. "As a senior, not only was the daily entry a mere $6.36, but I felt super safe everywhere there," notes Beth M. about Miracle Hot Springs.
Pack for variable weather: Be prepared for significant temperature shifts. "It was hot in the day and warm at night, so you could wander around in shorts. The location in the high desert is enchanting and the night sky is huge," shares Beth M.
Tips from RVers
Pull-through accessibility: Love's RV Hookup offers spacious sites for larger rigs. "Probably one of the best RV spots we've parked at nice large, wide, full hook ups, reasonably priced," reports Charlene P.
Overnight convenience: Jerome County Fairgrounds provides basic services for short stays. "Clean and quiet. All paved. Water and electrical hook ups. Pull through spots. Such a great place to stop and a killer sunset from the bleachers," recommends Tara B.
Bring leveling equipment: Uneven terrain may require adjustments. "The only thing if you in a trailer the ground is very uneven just bring leveling blocks and you will be good!" advises Tyler M. about Banbury Hot Springs.
Dog-friendly parks: Most campgrounds welcome pets with standard leash rules. "My family of 6 stayed in our 31' travel trailer for 2 nights over the Father's Day weekend... The bathrooms were sparkling and the sites were very well kept," shares Joanna M., who found Hagerman RV Village accommodating for the whole family, including pets.
