  Twin Falls-Jerome KOA

  KOA Tent Camping

  This is probably one of the fanciest camping sites I’ve ever been too. Definitely not as “in nature” as I’m used to but still a really cool experience. I paid 38 for one night for me and my 2 dogs. They had lots of social areas around and lots of variety between RVs, tent sites, and cabins but the tent camping sites were pretty tightly packed together. I like to sit out and read with my lanterns by the fire once the sun goes down and I ended up having to move into my tent to read because the site next to me was too bright from my lanterns and I felt bad. Other than that, they had an adorable gift shop and frozen yogurt night was happening during my visit. There are bathrooms with showers available. And a store to purchase anything and everything you may need from shampoo to firewood to food to cook as well as souvenirs. All together great experience and I would definitely camp again!

  Murtaugh Lake Park Campground

  Nice campground

  The campground was very nice. The only negative is the ground and grass areas are pitted with holes from gophers.  If tent camping bring a good ground cover to put tent on

  Snake River Canyons Park - Rickett's RV Camp

  Safe and Convenient

  Tent camped here in site 6. Felt safe the entire night and the campground featured bathrooms, which was a plus. Definitely targeted more towards RVs and camper style set-ups, but good night regardless minus some weather and wind!

  Trail Break RV Park & Campground

  Clean, simple and decent priced sites

  Tent sites and rv sites available!

  Tent sites are on a nice large green patch of grass. Park right next to your tent.

  The bathrooms are locked for paying campers only and have a sink, shower and toilet. Very clean and nice.

  There is also a locked washroom for paying campers to use as well.

  The owners live on site and are very friendly and are happy to help with questions!

  Very decently priced when all you need is somewhere to set up your tent for the night and get up and go in the morning. Would also be great for staying longer!

  Located in the town of Glenn’s ferry but still far enough away from public so you don’t feel like you’re camping in town.

  Restuarants, gas stations and a few convenience stores within a 10 minute drive of the campground.

  Interesting history is available to see close to the campground as well. Learn about the Oregon trail!

  Twin Falls-Jerome KOA

  Standard KOA

  Standard KOA facilities (access to family style bathrooms, wifi, laundry room, etc). Only one of the tent sites in our lot had electricity and water. Very close to the town of Twin Falls, and near Shoshone falls (wonderful site!).

  Spillway Campground

  Right on the reservoir

  This is not my ideal place to camp.  No where to tent camp but there is camper and RV camping in what I would describe as "parking lot style".  That said, if your goal is accessing the water, the boat ramp is right across the dam and this is a glorious place for boating.

  Castle Creek Campground

  Good Reservoir Access

  This is one of the smaller campgrounds on the reservoir.  This campground does not have a restroom, most of the others near by do.  Great access to the water but not really great for hiking.  This campground is best for campers or small RV's, you could tent camp her but it would not be my first choice in places to go.

  Bruneau Dunes State Park Campground

  Two thumbs down Campsite for tents

  Well, that wasn’t fun. If anyone is planning on tent camping here, I would highly suggest going somewhere else. The dunes are awesome, but wow were the sites a let down. The fields had no grass and minimal shade. I ended up sleeping in my car but with the heat, needed the windows down. That’s when I entered mosquito hell and spent the night swatting skeeters all night. For an rv, sure good spot but tent campers beware.

  Nice showers/bathrooms

  Good overnight place for tent camping. The showers were the main reason we booked for the night. They were clean, a little small but good water pressure. The hosts were nice and helpful. The highway was loud, but something you could get used to. The sheep also made a lot of noise but that was more cute than annoying. Overall it was a good stay and served our purposes.

  Twin Falls County Murtaugh Lake Park

  Bird Oasis

  Sweet little county park in the middle of farmlands. We arrived just after dark on a Monday night without reservations and there were plenty of sites. Camp host collected $5 cash for a tent site. Woke up to lots of birds, including red-winged blackbirds, yellow-headed blackbirds, white pelicans and swans. Clean vault toilets. A playground for kids.

  Miracle Hot Springs

  Even the camp sites weren't social distancing

  It was only 6 steps from one site to the next. Cost was exceptionally high for the pool/hot spring access. Plus the $20 for tent site. Would not go again. We went for the night sky, but the close proximity other campers made it not so good. Also, I dont usually mind bugs but this was ridiculous!! Showers were nice though.

  Murtaugh Lake Park Campground

  Good spot, but beware sprinklers

  I had an okay tent camping experience here.

  Price is good at $5.

  If you have trouble finding where to pay there’s a little building in the campground where you drop your envelope and take a receipt stub to put on your car.

  Bathrooms are just toilets.

  Lots of bugs at night! I was here late Aug/early Sept

  Sprinklers come on at random hours and it’s hard to know what ground they’ll cover.

  Evans Creek Campground

  Nice reservoir access

  This campground is bigger than many on the reservoir.  There is enough room for groups if you get there early.  Like most of the campgrounds on this road, you have a hill on one side and the reservoir on the other.  This campground is good for campers and some RV's but not so good for tent camping.  Camping here means you are looking for water access,  which is great, at this site.

  Oregon Trail Campground

  Close to Town

  This cute, convenient campground is right outside downtown Twin Falls, giving access to everything you need. The tent sites are close to the road and the RV sites are close together. The laundry room is open 24/7 and it's super cheap. The shower water is good and hot. Verizon signal is pretty good. Super sweet staff. For the $29 I spent, I got my money's worth.

  Twin Falls County Murtaugh Lake Park

  Stunning last minute stay!

  Found this place when we were in desperate need of a last minute site. We pulled right in around midnight and set up. We put $5 in the cash box in the morning. The tent site area is nestled in the trees right next to the lakeshore. There is running water and compost toilets! Stunning view of the lake for sunrise. Would defiantly recommend

  Balanced Rock County Park

  Cool little spot

  I stayed here for a night while passing through. A nice free spot to camp if you’re in need near Twin Falls. Easily accessible by any car it seems like (I have a Nissan Versa) and there were camper vans and RVs  there too. Picnic tables at every sight, plenty of birds flying around and I think there might be at least two beavers in the creek. I tent camped and the grass was a luxury! (Was here on a Friday so didn’t have to worry about the sprinklers, they go off every morning Monday-Thursday)

  Bruneau Dunes State Park Campground

  Well kept & clean! Had a nice time there!

  Rented a cabin in April/May as it was expected to be rainy & chilly! Surprisingly, the weather warmed up a bit so it was just windy & chilly at night.

  The only bad thing was (and it's not the park's fault) that Mountain Home AFB decided to do JET maneuvers at 1, 2, and 3 AM , causing a night's sleep to be non-existent!

  Will definately be back during warmer weather for TENT camping, hopefully on a weekend so the observatory will be open! Currently, it's only open on Friday & Saturday! I was there earlier in the week!

  Trail Break RV Park & Campground

  Listen to the sounds of highway cars and trains all night

  We originally planned to camp at Three Island state park, based on the positive Dyrt reviews, but when we arrived there, the posted fee for sites was $34, which we found too expensive for our mere purpose of sleeping and then hitting the road again. We remembered a sign on the way to the park that read "Camping - RV + Tents. Less $$$ than state park." So we figured, heck, let's just go there. We read quickly online that the prices for tent sites are $15. Perfect! We arrive at 11pm, which yes, it's late, BUT the office sign was blinking "OPEN." So we thought no problem. We ring the camp host. He sounds grumpy but arrives a couple minutes later. He is definitely grumpy. He tells me they do accept credit card and it will be $25. I ask for clarification given the listed price online. He says "New policy as of 6 days ago. I'm sick of people arriving late at all hours." Fair enough...but turn off the "Open" sign. I agree to pay it, we're exhausted at this point, and at least the campground has showers.

  Some pros: very close to highway

  Some cons: very close to the highway and a train track.

  The tenting experience: we listening all night to the sound of bug zappers, hourly train whistles, and speeding cars. See the video for reference. The tent sites were flat at least. A basic grill but no picnic table provided. It is probably convenient to have the wifi and laundry on-site, but we wouldn't know because we left as soon as we could after a near sleepless night.

  1000 Springs Resort

  Great views!!!

  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. The campsites are decent size but way to close together where you are basically on top of the camp site next to you. We didn't use any of the amenities such as the pool because the weather was warm and the river was cool. The dock off our campsite could have used a little TLC, I got splinters just from touching it. The portable bathrooms were clean when we got there and full and dirty when we left. You can only have one car per campsite and the rest have to be parked elsewhere which the spots really aren't big enough for a car and multiple tents. But would definitely go back again.

  Trinity View Resort

  Nice little RV/camp spot for the family

  We spend two days this July. Staff was friendly and informative. Don’t forget a mask if your going during Covid times. (Office requires it). Facilities are clean and nice. The small pool was great for the kiddos. We tent camped and where lucky to get the pick of the spots. The tent area has two covered areas with power. While we where there they’re where about. 7 tents with probably room for about 4 more. The group fire pit is also large and nice. One family in our group brought their RV and had a nice spot and hooks up where all working. We are considered locals so we didn’t make the trek the Anderson reservoir since we know all about it but if your not local make the short drive to enjoy some boating or swimming. The put put course want not available since it was getting worked on but was getting a overhaul so next time should be great. They have a community building but it was closed due to CoVid19. All in all it was a great weekend and spot.

  Highly Recommended!! Clean, Quiet with Amazing Views

  https://youtu.be/rZl1wN8JlRI

  This is our second stay here since new ownership. First trip was June 2022 and October 2922.  Both trips we had an awesome time. Just in a few months this place has made some very nice improvements and still has amazing views surrounding the camp ground. After staying a few places in the area over this past summer, Trinity View Resort for us is our top pic and will be spending a lot more time here in the future. Both trips we had our E-Bikes and took some amazing rides through the valleys and mountains and still haven't explored all the areas available here. 

   Cell service is good here. We have Verizon hot spot that worked perfectly and AT&T cell phones have good signal as well,

   There are different options for all kinds of campers from, Full hook ups ( Big rig friendly) to tent camping. On site RV rentals and cabins are also available.

  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. Very friendly to work with and communication with changes if need depending availability. 

   This resort is well on its way to be one of the best camp resorts in this area. Well worth the trip for sure.

  Out in the middle of NOWHERE

  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.

  Clean, well-maintained and easy to reach from the freeway

  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!

  1000 Springs Resort

  Nice campground

  The Campground was very nice green grass with beautiful big trees by the Snake River. The nice thing about camping in October was the fact that we were the only tent campers. It appears to be much busier with warm weather. There are beautiful views of the waterfalls across the river from the Campground. The campsite is a bit spendy at $25 a night per tent compared to other campgrounds nearby that are $20 a night for up to 5 tents. The customer service was not very good as when we arrived they gave us a deal on camping since we were the only 3 families, only for the next day an employee to harrass us about not paying enough. She would not back off and was very rude. Several hours later she verified we were in fact given the deal but was still rude and seemed mad. The pool is great but a bit chilly for my liking of a hot spring with no hot tub to relax unless you pay for the private rooms.

  Murtaugh Lake Park Campground

  Scenery, not crowded, and near-ish to Twin Falls for $5

  cash or check only Great location! Huge grass areas prevent any crowding and all but a couple RV spots are facing the lake. Fun to watch jet skiers, etc. go by. Slight cow smell a couple times but barely noticeable. Vault toilets are spotless. Generators only allowed for emergencies so not sure what other reviewer was talking about. Grass is green - which is great unless you are in a tent when they water Monday-Thursday then you’ll either enjoy the sprinklers or run for cover. I’m in an RTT so parked off the grass. Can’t believe tent spots are $5/night and RV with hookups is only $15. A couple large trailers parked across the way so seem to fit fine. Tent spaces not delineated but I’m the only one here so no issues with personal boundaries. Will definitely stay here again when I’m in the area.

  Balanced Rock County Park

  Small and secluded

  It is a long drive from Twin Falls to get to this park, so you’d better hope there is space when you get here! It was full when we arrived, but we would definitely come back at a less busy time. Primitive camping right on the water (bugs could be a problem) and most of the camping was in tents (although it was posted that tents are not allowed Monday through Thursday), however, you could park your van/RV alongside the water. I only saw pit toilets and they were reasonably clean (others mention bathrooms which to me mean flush toilets but maybe I missed them). Note that THE Balanced Rock is about a mile down the road from the campground.
