"Bruneau Dunes State Park is a hidden gem in Idaho just 20 min off I-84 in Idaho not far from Boise."
"If you don't want to leave Idaho but you want to feel like you're in the dessert, this is an awesome place to camp!"
$15 - $20 / night
"Idaho Power and Owyhee County Sheriff patrolling multiple times during the day this past weekend (4/5/19-4/7/19). Idaho Power does a great job of maintaining the grounds and keeping them clean."
"There is also an electric hydro-power plant as a part of the dam complex. you can approach this site from either side of CJ Strike lake on good paved roads."
"We camped just outside of Cottonwood Campground. There is an access road to the West that follows the shoreline. Beautiful area and it was great to camp right on the water."
"I like some of the sites at the Cottonwood site because they are very close to a boat ramp."
"RVs can fill water and dump at the WMA office about 10 minutes away, or the Idaho Power Campground."
"All sites near the water. Not much shade in the heat of the summer and the campsites are fairly close together."
"Several sites along reservoir with camping literally on the water's edge. Out of probably a dozen sites, most are rv friendly, even a couple of sites for big rigs."
"About 8 spots right on the shore of the lake - each site has a cutout “step” down through the weeds and into the lake. Ideal for fishing or wading."
"This RV park is a little close to the highway, but was actually very quiet and is close to plenty of recreation. It was super clean, had great showers, and a really lovely staff."
"Lots of people take walks at night around the streets of the park. I can’t rave about this place enough. STAY HERE!"
"Lots of fishing with easy access to the water. The only drawback for us was how close the sites are."
"There is a boat launch right next to it so boating access from the campground is excellent! Great for families with RV's and campers, less great for tent camping."
"Plenty of room for weekenders, no reservations, wide open space for kids to run around, central fire pit to roast s’mores and hang out, highly recommend!"
"Close to the road, you can hear all the traffic. Close to the boat launch ramps, you can hear all the boats racing to their fishing spot as the sun comes up."
"The cabins are a step above tent camping with wooden platform beds and bunks. Plan to be inside only to sleep as there is not much room. Bathroom is behind the cabins."
"Dyrt found this gem of a free waterfront site while passing through SW Idaho."
"Both the idaho power side and further down the gravel road gives you numerous options for camping. Dam makes for great fishing too!"
TravelerGave 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. Great place if you want to be close to the water. They offer day use of life vests. There’s a communal parking lot and also some more private spots off to the side.
GuideStayed at broken wheel campground which is most liky the better option as many sites have a tree. Good facilities with shower. The observatory is an outstanding experience. It's open to the public at the weekend and the tours are given by enthusiastic volunteers.
GuideBeautiful views, hot as always. Showers are hot and bathroom is clean. Minimal shade.
TravelerGreat area on the bluffs above the Snake River and Swan Falls Dam with beautiful sunset and sunrise views. Pretty level area not far from the main road. Only caution is that some areas had a lot of nails where they burned pallets. Stay clear of any fire rings. Fires are not allowed.
RangerCamping spots seem to be more catered to RV's. Hookups for each site which is great. We went to the sand dunes, there are both mosquitoes and spikes seeds if you go down by the plants. Still pretty cool sand dunes.
TravelerThis park has been one of the cleanest, best organized and all around beautiful places to stay. The staff is polite and so helpful. Loved my stay and will definitely making this a regular in my travels.
ScoutA little bit misleading in the description. There are some established camp spots and then there is some “dispersed” camping. In reality the dispersed camping is more like established camping on BLM land.
It can be a little bit confusing when you arrive but you take a right turn away from the welcome sign. You’ll travel by a boat launch on your left and some construction type equipment on your right as you travel down a dirt road. The mile or so is the established camping in Idaho Power property. It’ll be on your left as your drive. About 2ish miles in you’ll see a beat up sign marking the beginning of BLM land. After that there are turnouts for the “dispersed” camping. There are permanent fire pits and even some pit toilets so not exactly dispersed in the overland sense, but more like camping in the 80’s if you are old enough to remember that.
You won’t need a 4WD rig. A front wheel drive sedan can do this drive, but the road is bumpy. It was dry when I went to maybe if it’s muddy it would be more treacherous.
All in not a terrible camping spot. You’re right on the river and the bugs are too.
Remember, kids, only trash leaves trash and don’t be the weirdos “out in nature” with your Bluetooth speaker blaring music.
ScoutOpen Season 15 May to 15 September. Advance reservations are requires and cannot be made on site. No free camping. Potable water by old USFS style hand pump. Host on site. Ranger patrols.
GuideWe had a great weekend camping at Cove. Most sites are spaced out well, there are some on the water that are closer together. Most sites have a shelter over the picnic table. Vault toilets were CLEAN! Being mid-April, water in the camp ground was not turned on yet.
RVs can fill water and dump at the WMA office about 10 minutes away, or the Idaho Power Campground.
