"We have a 27' Travel Trailer and we booked a full hook-up site at this location in Buhl, Idaho along the Snake River. It was $20/night. We camped for a couple of nights at the end of May."
"The Campground is beautiful tucked along the Snake River and scattered with massive beautiful trees. The grass is green and the ground is soft."
"Near a busier road, but was not a problem with the sound wall. Trees for shade, and our awning was able to cover most of the area for shade during the day. Has water and electric, no sewage."
"I stop by every time I swing through Idaho."
"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."
"The nearby town offers a great wood oven pizza place called Fire Pie Pizza. There is plenty of room to walk your pups and just sit back and relax as it is remarkably quiet here."
"The camp area is small you can park next to a bench and sleep over night. You are allowed 7 night max. Stream runs through the site. Looks more like a day camp but overnights are ok."
"Walking distance to Balanced Rock. Lots of natural features. Kayakers paddle up and then float back down. Lots of fishing but little catching. Definitely worth the drive."
"We used this more of a dock and boat ramp which gave us access to a great stretch of the Snake River. In the building there is a nice warm pool with slides and rolling logs for the kiddies"
"We just stopped for one night as we were traveling through, and we camped at the edge of the Snake River."
"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."
"Many of these are also more private, facing away from other sites. The cabins are walk-in with parking 50 to 100 ft away."
"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."
"Part of the Idaho State Park Thousand Springs complex. Newer State Park Campground. I think this is the first full season. Very open easy access to RV pads, tent camping seems good."

GuideAdvertised $45 for full hookups for 30 AMP. Then they charged $10 for my golden retriever. Then they charged $10 for fees and tax. So, $65 is what it is. Website says that someone would come to our site to check-in, but no one showed up. It looks like Wi-Fi is available, but I don't have a password. It looks like it would be weak. There is no office here.
GuideRoom for large rigs in a couple of spots, beautiful area and very secluded.
TravelerDiscovered this RV stop on a roadtrip by accident. It was a perfect place to stop for the night. It was safe and convenient. Power hook ups and bathrooms in the travel center. Showers also but those are extra.
GuideWe loved this campsite for our family of 6!
We brought our trailer to site 3, which I feel was the best site for trailers. Near a busier road, but was not a problem with the sound wall. Trees for shade, and our awning was able to cover most of the area for shade during the day.
Has water and electric, no sewage. No WiFi, but we brought our Starlink.
All sites have picnic tables and smaller fire pits. No wood sold on site, so bring or go buy in town.
Running toilet and dumpster near campsites. Showers by hot springs pools that were stocked with shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Bring your own towel.
The hot springs were so great! A little pricey for our bigger family. Wish it was included if you stay there, which is why just 4 stars. We did it one day, and we got access for the whole day. Bigger pools with benches running along the side. Was so nice and clean!
The creek that runs right through the camp was our favorite! Shallow enough for the 3 year old. With deeper parts further down to fully swim. We’d take our chairs in there and sit, the kids could play. Glad we brought sand toys for them to collect rocks and clams.
Camp host was so kind! Sites seem spread apart enough. The campsites had the best spots along the creek!
Day 1 we played in the creek a ton after setting up.
Day 2 we did the hot springs. Then we drove to Twin Falls to see Shoshone Falls (amazing!) and Perrine Bridge. Perfect little day trip about 50 minutes away.
On day 3 we brought our own stand up paddle boards and kayaks and launched from Blue Heart Kayaking to go see Blue Heart Spring. Incredible! Blue Heart Kayaking is the closest launch point. Is just $10 per person over age 8 if you bring your own equipment. They have kayaks and SUP to rent there too! About a 20 minute paddle there, 40 minutes back. Doable with the little kids! We loved this and highly recommend!
We went to the Hagerman Dump Station on the way out to dump and clean our tanks. Right between the shell station and library in downtown Hagerman. No fee, just donations. No dumpster.
ScoutUnfortunately, this spot is no longer free. They charge $20 per night. Still cheaper than most campgrounds. The bathroom is in good shape. Very near town.
GuideEasy to find not far from the main highway of Twin Falls. Concrete pad, fire ring, 2 vault toilets and 2 garbage cans … as of July 1, 2026 there is a charge of $20 a night. Sheriff patrolled the area. Also an area for horses.
GuideNo idea how any vehicle could get to the river… there is an upper area to park up in but too hot. The dirt road to the supposed BLM camping area also very rugged! Disappointing
GuidePros: lake nearby, nice view, chill vibe, quiet, nearly empty campground, hosts were nice, and it was safe.
Cons: I didn't like it from the moment I got there. It just felt gross, there was also a lot of annoying flies on the grass and my intuition was justified as soon as I went to the disgusting vault toilets. These were the filthiest I have seen on a campground. The lake is probably dirty from all the agriculture around it, and it also has some signage regarding potential algae blooms. The designated tent sites are not labeled officially and are on a very uneven grass on the side we were on. It was definitely not the best sleep I got, but at least I did get to have a nice fire and watch the moonrise.
If the bathrooms were clean 3/5, it just wasn't my type of place.
TravelerIt's pretty decent, this spot. The road in is pretty wash-boarded, but it's a nice spot. We wound up pulling up to the point near the highway for cell service, because there's NONE down by the reservoir.
Snake River Valley campgrounds near Hagerman, Idaho sit at approximately 2,900 feet elevation with unique geology creating hot springs and dramatic basalt canyon walls. The area receives less than 10 inches of annual rainfall, creating desert conditions that contrast with the lush riverside vegetation. Most camping options cluster along Highway 30 and the Snake River corridor, providing year-round access despite seasonal temperature swings.
Hot spring soaking: At Miracle Hot Springs, enjoy multiple pools with varying temperatures and private tub options. "They have different pools of varying temperatures, alligators, trees and plenty of room for each site," according to Jared W., who stops by whenever passing through Idaho.
Kayaking to hidden spots: From Banbury Hot Springs Campground, paddle to secluded natural features. "We kayaked down stream to the Thousand Springs Bed and Breakfast Winery where we did some wine tasting and bought a few bottles, which we took back to camp. We also paddled to Thousand Springs to see the waterfalls coming down. Another hidden gem that we paddled to was Blue Heart Springs," writes Ed E.
Fossil hunting: Visit the Hagerman Horse Fossil Beds, accessible from multiple campgrounds. The site contains the largest concentration of Hagerman Horse fossils in North America, dating back 3.5 million years. "We spent our time visiting the Fossil Bed NM," notes Alana R. from Hagerman RV Village.
Riverside camping: Balanced Rock County Park offers free camping along a creek with canyon views. "Room for about 12-15 camping sites, many having fire pits, a few with tables. All are along a grassy area and river front," reports Jeff K., who appreciated the easy access for fishing and kayaking.
Shaded sites: Many campers praise the tree cover at Hagerman RV Village, which helps during hot summer days. "Lots of shade and Grassy sites with plenty of space. Well kept. Clean restrooms and laundry. Quiet with no road noise," writes Marty S., who stayed at one of the level pull-through sites.
Dock access: At several campgrounds, private docks allow for fishing and water activities directly from your site. "We had a large pull-thru site with water, sewer, and electric that accommodated our fifth wheel and dually Ram with no problems," notes Jeff & Steff, who enjoyed the spacious layout at Hagerman RV Village.
Cell service gaps: Reception varies significantly throughout the area. "No Verizon reception until you drive up the hill a little bit," reports a camper at Miracle Hot Springs. Another camper adds, "There wasn't any cell or wifi service or reception in the canyon" at Balanced Rock County Park.
Seasonal considerations: Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F, while spring and fall offer milder conditions. Winter camping is limited but possible at year-round sites like 1000 Springs Resort. Note that "the sprinklers run at night and may hit your camp chairs and bbq" at some grassy sites according to Jeff & Steff from Hagerman RV Village.
Site spacing: Campgrounds vary greatly in density. "We were the only tent campers, but the RV lots were quite full," noted Brad M. about Banbury Hot Springs. At 1000 Springs Resort, a reviewer observed that "the sites were cramped and campers really have to hope for good neighbors."
Swimming options: Three Island Crossing State Park provides family-friendly facilities. "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," recommends Lisa O.
Budget consideration: Entrance fees for hot springs are additional to camping costs. At 1000 Springs Resort, "the geothermal swimming pool was nice. It was really warm—like a mild hot tub or super warm bath. There are hot mineral baths that we didn't try because they cost even more than it cost us to swim in the pool," notes Celina M.
Kid-friendly attractions: Some campgrounds offer unexpected entertainment. "There is an alligator on site too. She looks pretty old and is pretty lethargic but is very pretty," mentions Hayley K. about Miracle Hot Springs, which also features dome accommodations for families not tent camping.
Leveling challenges: Bring leveling blocks to several area campgrounds. "If you in a trailer the ground is very uneven just bring leveling blocks and you will be good!" advises Tyler M. from Banbury Hot Springs Campground.
Hookup availability: Water and electric hookups are common, but sewer connections vary. "Not all stalls are RV friendly, my friend had to move due to her trailer would not level," reports Sonja L. about Banbury Hot Springs.
Site selection: Choose sites based on shade and amenities. "Site #6 worked well as it was a pull thru. No sewer or dump tank but clean grounds and well taken care of facilities," noted Robert B. about Miracle Hot Springs, recommending their VIP package for better value.
