What campers like
Landscaped Grounds: Many cabin properties feature established trees and gardens. "Lots of shade and Grassy sites with plenty of space. Well kept. Clean restrooms and laundry. Quiet with no road noise. Level pull-throughs," states a camper at Hagerman RV Village.
Water Access: Direct river access at several properties. "We just went to 1000 springs this past weekend. A total of 12 of us in two separate spots. One right on the water and the other in the middle section in the tent camping area. The water was wonderful and we were able to paddle over to Ritter island on our paddle boards," shares a guest at 1000 Springs Resort.
Scenic Settings: Unique landscapes surround many cabin properties. "Found this gem few miles off the highway with amazing views all around. Plus the owners were incredibly nice. Would definitely stay again," notes a visitor to Trinity View Resort.
Hot Springs Access: Multiple hot spring options available. "The hot springs are great. I asked if I could use a camp sight for the nigh, I told them I am self contained with a great heater. I was not allowed to stay there. So I just parked down the road," mentions a camper at Miracle Hot Springs.
What you should know
Reservation Timing: Summer weekends often require advance bookings. "If you lived in a nearby city like Boise I would buy a reasonably priced membership without batting an I. We reserved thru our RPI membership. $10 a night for us. I'm in love with Fort Running Bear," reports a visitor to Trinity View Resort.
WiFi Limitations: Internet connectivity varies widely between properties. "Nice. $40 a night. Has wifi, but speed is slow. I hot-spotted my phone. I have 5G T-Mobile phone. Great signal," mentions a camper at Hagerman RV Village.
Temperature Variations: Prepare for significant day-to-night temperature changes. "We stayed here during Boise Questival and found that it was close, conveneient, and reasonable pricing!" shares a visitor to Bruneau Dunes State Park Campground.
Additional Fees: Some amenities incur extra charges. "i loved my campsite on the water...got afternoon shade. nice wifi signal. i am surprised that they don't offer showers or running water, since it is available in abundance. i think it is silly that you have to pay extra for the pool. this place is great but overpriced," notes a camper at 1000 Springs Resort.
Tips for camping with families
Hot Springs Options: Private rooms offer family-friendly soaking. "This spot also has geodomes surrounded with apple trees to rent out if you are looking for a more cabin-like feel. There is also an alligator on site too. She looks pretty old and is pretty lethargic but is very pretty," mentions a visitor to Miracle Hot Springs.
Kid-Friendly Activities: Several properties offer dedicated children's amenities. "Lots of fun stuff to do here for the whole family or even groups. The people here are friendly and respectful to other campers as well as super friendly staff and owners," notes a guest at Trinity View Resort.
Local Wildlife: Morning wildlife viewing opportunities exist at several properties. "This was my final campout for the year with my 2 fur babies. Road to park has a 3 mile gravel road, took it slow so it was not bad. The campground was empty and was able to move to a spectacular sunset view spot. Woke up at sunrise to find 4 deer wondering through," shares a camper from Trinity View Resort.
Swimming Options: Both pools and natural water access available. "The only bonus of this site is that you are across the street from Ritter Island and the springs and waterfalls that are transporting over 200 year hidden underground spring water. It is a beautiful site if you have a boat or kayak to get around the island," reports a visitor to 1000 Springs Resort.
Tips from RVers
Site Selection: Choose locations based on specific needs. "Sites are big, level, and well manicured. A few sites have shade trees while others have covered picnic tables. We were just passing through, so it wasn't convenient for us. If you're doing something in the area (river, dunes, etc.), it's a good option," advises an RVer at Bruneau Dunes State Park Campground.
Weather Considerations: Prepare for variable conditions. "We stayed at Miracle as Banbury was fully booked for RVs sites. However, it was great to be steps away from the river. No sewage but had electric and water (that leaked; rented spot 4 that many ppl thought was a drive through lane)," reports a camper at Miracle Hot Springs.
Hookup Variability: Utilities differ between properties and sites. "Had a 36 foot RV rental motorhome. Site#6 worked well as it was a pull thru. No sewer or dump tank but clean grounds and well taken cc are of facilities. Get a VIP package- its worth it," recommends a visitor to Miracle Hot Springs.
Road Conditions: Access roads vary in quality. "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," notes a camper at Twin Falls-Jerome KOA.
