Guide
Not sure if this page is the actual spot where the Yurts are but I have to say if you haven't stayed in one, your missing out on a wonderful experience.
LegendI have only been to there in the winter but I imagine that hiking in is just a beautiful! You need to bring everything but a bed and stove, which are in the yurt. Lots of hiking or cross-country skiing in the area.
Guide
Like most (it seems) campgrounds, this place is badly in need of maintenance. When it rains, the "roads" (term used loosely) are mud puddles. Your site is too, unfortunately. Most of the park is long-term scum campers, junk all over the sites, loud trucks, loud music.
To top it off, many of these hobos take pleasure in putting dog food bowls of duck food out, so you can count on duck crap all over the place, on your rig, on your vehicle. The constant quacking makes you think you're on an island in the river. It will drive your dog nuts too.
The Greenbelt:
Pretty, but VERY overcrowded. If you're looking for some peace walking by the river, forget it. Spandex wearing cycle maggots, too self-important to even bother to say "on your left" or ring a bell, come ripping up behind you, inches away, as if they despise you "being in the way". Most are wearing mirror shades so they don't have to smile at anyone.
All in all, there are much better places to spend time in Idaho. Try Idaho Falls, or Twin Falls. Stanley and Coeur d'Alene are both gorgeous. Boise is basically California, including the the corresponding batch of jerks just like you find in California.
Originally planned to stay here three months, left after a few weeks. Obviously, won't be returning.
LegendThis RV Camping Site is AWESOME! They do allow tent camping and have cabins. They have full hookups for RV's as well. There is a lower rate for "back-ins" to the Boise River Greenbelt. They also have a higher rate for Pull Through Sites for RVs. There is so much to do in the area. Biking, hiking, walking along the Boise River. There is also some great fishing on the Boise River. This location is centered for city goers, snow skiers, white water rafters and anglers. We visited some nice restaurants within a short drive of the campgrounds. We rode our bikes along the trails, upstream and downstream. The campgrounds also rent bikes for those that don't have their own :-) You will not be disappointed with this campground if you want to get to know Boise, Idaho.

Fort Running Bear RV Park, Idaho
If you like the middle of nowhere, you will like Fort Running Bear RV Park. It is approximately 32 miles to the middle of nowhere, the last three are on a dirt road. You are driving through scrub country with no trees and hills in the distance. Then you see a copse of trees in the distance. That is where you end up. This is an older campground, private and family run. There is a shower house attached to the swimming pool and a laundry room. The sites have room around them for tents, bikes, etc; a covered picnic table , most have shade and fire rings. There are full hookup sites and basic sites. When we visited the wind was wiping through the area. The owners are personable and friendly, the campground is well maintained. The shower house ...clean and a little old. This would be a nice place to spend a quiet weekend or time with the family. It would not make sense to use this campground for a base camp due to the distance from anywhere.
GuideNot for the faint of heart in July without a generator. Woke up at 8am this morning and it's already 90 out. Decent sized spots. Right by the lake. Could be advertised as a weight loss spa because of the heat wave. But we're having fun regardless since the sand dunes are just a couple miles down the road.
Traveler
Thoroughly enjoyed camping in this area. Amazingly enough, we didn't run into a whole lot of other people while camping, only in the actual town. Getting there is interesting down a winding dirt road, but worth the trip to find all the trees in the middle of a desert. The landscape is this breathtaking mix of trees and rock formations and sagebrush. We hiked all over and climbed on the rocks. Had a good time getting coffee in town in the morning.
TravelerFree campsites right on the edge of town next to creek. The ride up is worth it!
GuideI would go back if I'm ever here again. The drive back there takes a little while and the roads are narrow. Cows all over the town. The historical buildings date back to the 1890's and earlier. I talked to a local and he said the town is on a historical register. Feels like I took a time machine back to the old west. Check out the cemetery and the mine shafts behind the church. All the streets are public land so you can wander around, just don't stare into people's windows. Hard to believe people live there. People stay there as a summer cabin thing. The camping is not secluded at all. Lots of cows in town. There may be poop at your campsite. I didn't drink the creek water. I don't know if it's safe, so but err'd on the side of caution due to the towns mining history.
Guide
Very nice, and well kept. Clean bathrooms and a lot of history with and Interpretive Center in the park.
LegendWe knew it would be hot when we visited this campground, so sprang ($55) for one of the few cabins with air conditioning. It was clean, small, and just fine. But there wasn't too much to do after 5 pm when the visitor center closed. No playground we could find, and the water isn't safe to swim in. Once the visitor center opened up in the morning though, that was an absolute gem. Would probably stay here again but just get a regular camp site. The cabin wasn't really worth it.
TravelerCampsites are well developed, but close together. This isn’t a place to sit at camp and enjoy the wilderness, but rather a place to park your trailer while you are visiting the museum, winery, or golf course. Provisions are close by. The proximity to the Boise area makes this a great getaway. We took our trailer here on a trial run and it was great to be close to home and close to stores for everything we didn’t think of before venturing out.
A large lawn area is well kept. Make sure to take your frisbee and lawn games. Paced roads are good for littles to cruise on their bikes.
Safe, clean, convenient campground.

We Stayed at this park for one night on July 15th, 2018
It was a hot long day of driving and Site 67 in the lower area close to the river was cool, quiet and beautiful. The spaces were large and level without neighbors being on top of you. The grounds, showers and rest rooms were well maintained. We enjoyed the hookup with water and power and dumped the tanks at their dump station prior to hitting the road. The only thing the family noted was the mass quantity of gnats, with the consideration that we arrived at dusk in mid-July and they might be seasonal. They didn't bite but they were plentiful and we had hundreds dead in the AM everywhere in and out of the trailer. We would definitely use this great campground again.
You get there by passing through a historic town which was nice and a bit touristy. We came after most places were closed and left prior to them opening but it had a great little town feel to it and are planning on spending time there on the next trip through.
GuideThai camp ground is big and easy to get to from Boise! Only and hour! Easy access and clean showers/bathroom. Lots of open grassy areas and it was quite while we were there at the end of July 2018
GuideWe really liked this campground! First, the sites are nicely paved and level, and have full hookups which make an extended stay really nice. There is a picnic table and fire ring for having an enjoyable outdoor experience. there is a huge grass open area adjacent to the site which is nice for outdoor sports.
There is a hiking trail at the edge of the campground which takes you to a nearby winery for a flight of wine and some good food. Very nice for the adults! There is also a path that takes you to a park down at the river which is nice for the kids, and our boys loved the disc golf course. It is huge with 18 holes, but the front 9 are the best, as the back nine have a lot of cheat grass and bushes to lose your disc in.
Nearby there is also a museum about the Oregon trail and how the Three Island Crossing area was used by the settlers... Very interesting place!
Overall we had a great Memorial Day long Weekend.
ScoutSuch a great campground. Something for everyone, even folf!
ScoutStayed here before years ago. When our other campsite didn’t work out this time we headed here. Bathrooms and showers are clean and well maintained. Park is clean, plenty of trees and shade.
ScoutWent in mid July and stayed at site #14 which had a great view of the river and the cliffs. We really enjoyed the sunsets from there. Electricity and water (no sewer) temperature was in the 90s and so glad to have AC. Close to town and a winery nearby. Clean and well maintained. Campsites have very little privacy.
LegendBased on the other Dyrt reviews, we originally planned to camp here on August 7 during our cross-country road trip. However, the price just didn’t seem worth it to us. We drove around the campground loops and saw that the sites were pretty close together and it was buggy. There were nice facilities at least. There were a number of sites open despite arriving at 10pm, though it was Wednesday. The total price of$40+ included the site fee+ non-res fee+ motor vehicle fee+ state sales tax. We had just come from paying$20 for a state park campground in Oregon with similar facilities, so it seemed silly to pay so much. In the end we stayed at the close by RV park which added a late arrival fee, so we probably only saved$15. Both campgrounds are near a railroad and local airway, so there is a lot of noise. If we could have done it again, I think we would have just skipping camping in this general area and kept driving a little further.
GuideOk we thought this was going to be a good spot by the looks of it but our experience was mixed. It was hot when we were arrived at 5pm at around 101, but cooled down nicely as the sun went down.
The site had nice grass and was clean with nice shower facilities in the center of our loop fro site #38. The train goes through several times per night and is super loud!
Overall the sites are close together it was really noisy over the Labor Day weekend and we hardly got any sleep. The tree cover is nice but you can’t see any stars that way.
Nice and clean but won’t go back.
We were tent camping.
ScoutIt was perfect for a quick get out of town getaway. It wasn’t crowded since it was mid November. We will be back!
TravelerLots of grass. Lots of trees for shade. Located along the Snake River. This is our go-to campground when just want to get away for a few days
RangerGorgeous state park campground along the Snake River. Spacious sites, clean bathrooms, friendly camp hosts, and dog friendly. Campground is walking distance to a winery and the Oregon Trial crossing off the river (watch our for that dysentery and tie up your oxen!)
GuideWe love this campground in the spring and fall, I imagine it would be hot and full of bugs during the summer months. But it has stunning views (we only stay on the upper loop), great places to explore, and it’s easy to get to. The museum is fun to check out, and they often have events going on that are fun to check out. Our friends say the winery next door is great too, but we’ve never been yet.
TravelerI car camped here on a trip back from Oregon to home in Texas. The pad was overkill for my needs but I wanted bathroom facilities.
Nice wooded grounds, very quiet even though it was pretty much at capacity, and the facilities were nice and clean.
GuideWe got here about 3:30 on a Friday and we got the last spot. They have a lot , but we’re full. The lady at the gate was very nice. It cost $36 for us since we were from out of town. The sites are very nice. Long paved with water and electric on one side and the pick-nik table behind us. It has 1 fire ring/grill in a box area. As crowded as the park seems, it’s very quite. We walked to the river on the hiking path and found some beautiful scenery there. All in all I would suggest staying here, just be sure to reserve first.
GuideThe campground has many things to do.It has a Winery,Golf Course, and The Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. All within walking distance. Grass was still green. Wonderfull views
