Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Hagerman, ID

We stayed at Oregon Trail Campground in Twin Falls, Idaho in September 2021. This park is a FHU pull-thru site and also has back-in sites. Our site was flat and level and a snap to set up our fifth wheel. The staff here was very nice and helpful with restaurant recommendations. The only negative for us was that we had to take our pets to the pet area, which was at the far corner of the park, and pets are not allowed to potty on any trees or shrubs. Signs were everywhere stating this. It was difficult to get our dogs quickly to the dog area, which is very small and swampy, when they really had to pee. Other than that we enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here again.

I've been a full-timer for several years now and have stayed in many parks. This is by far the cleanest, nicest park I have ever seen. The sites are wide, spacious and clean. Lush green grass and shady mature trees at every site. All concrete pads. Private bathrooms with showers! The dog park is stunning. The roads are paved and there's not a single piece of gravel in sight! You really have to see this place to believe it. It's like a little neighborhood!

While the sites themselves leave much to be desired, Bruneau is awesome. The camp hosts have been there for 7 years and are super friendly and helpful. The restrooms are in tip-top shape and there are several features that made this an awesome spot for our family-a dog park within walking distance, open grassy space for playing whiffle ball, etc and the ability to ride bikes to the Dunes-about 1 mile from the Broken Wheel site. It does get super windy though. And although we have only been in the fall and spring, I have heard you really cannot walk on the sand in the summer-too hot! Overall, we love it.

Do not come here during spring! We found 6 ticks within an hour of being there. You might have better luck at black sands RV resort down the road but a local said it’s best to avoid bringing your pets there or camping at all there.

The owners are super friendly and onsite. The campground spots are spacious, well maintained and there is a large open grass area. Leashed pets are welcome and mine loves the grass.

The camp spots have fire rings.

I get a tent spot for my rooftop tent and they have flushing toilets, showers, kitchen and laundry onsite.

Well worth the $15 rate!

We called on our way east from Boise an hour before they closed and they were super pleasant. We were able to grab a 30amp spot since it was hot outside and we had our pets. It was very affordable for power only ($20 in 7/21) and they were apologetic that they didn’t have a full service hookup for us.

This is an RV park, but I used a tent. Ground is very rocky, but was able to stake it fairly easily. This site is very close to the town, like a quick 5 minute drive. Road is very accessible as well, you won't have any troubles getting to this site unless your suspension is held together by duck tape. Toilet was as clean as a camp toilet can be! My only real negative is that there were a lot of people and pets around that were making noise, but it wasn't that bad. Oh, and there is absolutely no shade at all.

We followed our GPS plus there is great signage leading you to the Y Knot Winery, which is the same route to go to Three Island Crossing State Park. The state park is adjacent to the winery campground(CG). You first come to the older CG across from the winery building, which is better suited for smaller rigs. We were in the newer CG a little further up the road in pull-through site 26 with FHUs. As we had a reservation with an assigned site number, we went straight to our site, set up, and then walked back over to the winery to register. The sites have an interesting layout as they are long, yet the front and back of site not really defined. You have to adjust your rig on the gravel pad to fit your rig to the utilities towards the back of the site. You then ensure that either side of your rig isn’t too far on the gravel road. The CG is bare bones with no picnic tables, fire pits, nor WiFi(saw a review for$6 Wifi but didn’t see any networks in the new area). It was no issue for us as we were enjoying the winery and golf course. Since the CG is new, the trees have not matured and you have no problem with satellite. We got one bar on Verizon. Their water pressure is high so you will need a reducer. We got an end cap site and enjoyed the large yard. The CG info states there’s a pet area, but there’s no sign or fenced in area. The pet area is a grassy area along the golf course side of the CG according to the map. There was no road noise, but there was a distant train or two during the night. There’s a lot to like about this CG: nice sites, wine tasting, decent food, and a fun golf course.

If you prefer van or camper camping then this is the place for you. It has good access to many boat docks along the Snake and also has easy access to the world renowned Hagerman Horse Fossil Beds

This is a large gravel area with a restroom and one campsite. It's very pretty and easy to access and very quiet. And free! The Verizon cell signal is weak to non-existent but you don't have to drive very far to get a signal. It's a fabulous location near Miracle Hot Springs and Hagerman.

This place caters to the "money campers", those staying a few nights total. Several of the staff may be courteous and helpful to these travelers. But, several of their legacy employees ( who, in our estimation appear to be anti social alki's who only "work" there for free rent), are some truly nasty and hostile folks. I mean to say they will give you the evil eye, spray herbicide into your exterior pet water bowl, disturb your stay endlessly with yelling back and forth over mowers, weed eating multiple times per week all around your sites yet still leaving windblown trash everywhere and the grass looking like Helen Keller mowed it. There is something really yucky at this place with most of the employees. Stay there and you'll see. There are MUCH nicer people operating parks in the region. We have never stayed anywhere and been treated with such flagrant rudeness, discourtesy and outright scary behavior by the resident employees. There are about 20 of them, fyi. The owners may want business, but these angry old folks running the place are like hanging a NO VACANCY sign out front. Again, it's decent for a quick stop but until the Courtesy/Manners improves and the contemptuous creepiness is removed, this place is 1 Star in our considered judgment.

My first time in Idaho and talk about diversity and beauty. Bruneau Dunes is just another example of the variety of experiences to be had within this state! Windy, sunny and sandy best describes the whole park. The sand was a little toasty so I kept the dogs mostly in the shade. Sliding down the dunes is pretty cool. The pond/lake was low and mucky when we were there and I don’t know if fishing would be an option. The campground is adequate and well maintained. The picnic shelters help some with the sun and wind. Bring good anchors for anything you want to set up. The staff was nice and informative. Definitely worth a look see just cause it’s cool.

We had a blast here!! We could have gone all weekend without having to leave the campground. Lots for the kids to do. What we really loved was the individual dog runs they had where we could just sit inside a closed gated area with the dogs and keep an eye on the kids. We will be back!!

Gorgeous 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!)

This was a great spot to park and camp on our way through. River for a dog swim and multiple spots. Only complaint was it was hard to spot the entrance at night.
