Best Campgrounds near Grand View, ID

I arrived at the spot a little before sunset after getting chased down the road by a very unsettled dog, whose territory I had invaded off on the left-hand side of the road, presumably.

I’m not sure how many sites are actually there at the park. I saw only about three real proper spots to the right by the river that I could count, at least.

There was another section to the left of the entry road, which was barred off by a gate, but I decided to car camp for the night by the boat launch and not hike in with all my gear.

There was a perhaps 10-15 spot parking lot by the boat ramp (and the bathrooms) where two trucks with boat trailers were parked.

It was a Saturday night, and there was a little music coming from one of the boats close up to the shore. But it was a chill vibe, and I felt no apprehension about sleeping in the place.

The bathrooms were spidery but clean and pretty basic.

I woke up to the chattering of a crap-ton of birds. And I was not disappointed to find a large owl preening itself in the tree towering above my site.

The river, on daylight inspection, was great and somewhat enticing, but I resisted the urge to bust out my kayak opting instead for a quick breakfast and an early day back on the road.

I totally recommend, unless you want a shower and/or more services.

We're permanent residents here because we love this place! The staff are wonderful, friendly, and work hard to keep this place as lovely as it is. In the clubhouse you can play pool, watch tv, swim in the pool or lounge in the jacuzzi. There's also a wonderful kitchen where you can reserve the room for a get-together-an island to prepare, plenty of frig space and lots of tables set up in a 1950's theme!   You can hear the speedway from where we live, and you can hear a train off in the distance.  We love that community feeling we have here, and can afford the price. Cheers to KOA! May you stay just as you are!   Oh yeah, there are plenty of places for one-nighters so they can enjoy all the nearby amenities- So many restaurants and burger joints, and other businesses right nearby!

Beautiful location right on the river! With great fishing! Good amount of shade in the campgrounds with sturdy picnic tables, fire pit and steal table for hot pans, food prep or cleaning your fish...now we must have gone when the misquitos were bad because holy cow were they bad, and no amount of anything repelled them. From 8am to about 10 pm, they swarmed us all! We came home looking like we had chicken pox. Our first night (Thursday) was peaceful and not terrible. Friday night though, about 8 cars pulled in and parked like assholes, piled 7 tents onto the beach and blasted their damn mariachi music all night until about 4 am, even though we asked them to turn it down. They had strobe lights, 3 construction type lights projector lights going all night. Total about 20 people. Then saturday night 6 more cars and 20 more of the same group did the same thing except half were in the campground so theor music was blasting up there and on the beach, which they had completely taken over. They were keeping too small of fish as well as fish youre not even supposed to keep, they dumped their trash bags full of their bathroom bucket into the port-a-pottys, left trash all over the place. It was really unfortunate to see that thats how people treat our state and country. Probably a good place to camp later in the season. Just drive very slowly there and back.
