    Swan Falls - Idaho Power

    Not terrible

    A little bit misleading in the description. There are some established camp spots and then there is some “dispersed” camping. In reality the dispersed camping is more like established camping on BLM land.
    It can be a little bit confusing when you arrive but you take a right turn away from the welcome sign. You’ll travel by a boat launch on your left and some construction type equipment on your right as you travel down a dirt road. The mile or so is the established camping in Idaho Power property. It’ll be on your left as your drive. About 2ish miles in you’ll see a beat up sign marking the beginning of BLM land. After that there are turnouts for the “dispersed” camping. There are permanent fire pits and even some pit toilets so not exactly dispersed in the overland sense, but more like camping in the 80’s if you are old enough to remember that.
    You won’t need a 4WD rig. A front wheel drive sedan can do this drive, but the road is bumpy. It was dry when I went to maybe if it’s muddy it would be more treacherous.
    All in not a terrible camping spot. You’re right on the river and the bugs are too.
    Remember, kids, only trash leaves trash and don’t be the weirdos “out in nature” with your Bluetooth speaker blaring music.

    Farewell Bend State Recreation Area Campground

    Mosquito river

    Well-kept state park. No playground for kids. Dog park. Very quiet. Right on the highway but it’s not loud at all. Very many mosquitos, like swarms of them. Site was very flat and easy to park our 23’ camper. Small trails good enough for a stroll but not long enough for a hike.

    Hi-Valley RV Park

    Excellent and quiet

    The only thing I can say is it would be nice if there was more room between RVs. Other than that, excellent facilities, crew, pool, spa, off leash dog park, laundry, showers, garbage pick up(wow right!), Good power, good water pressure, stores nearby, just a great stop!

    Ambassador RV Resort

    Great for Telecommute and Streaming

    I was here alone with my two dogs during the heatwave of June 2021 (104°+). The dogs and I didn't leave the RV much due to the heat. But we were parked next to the pool, it's small and busy late afternoon early evening. The little dog park was nice although we only used it a couple times since one of my dogs does not always get along well with other dogs.

    5G and 2G wifi were excellent. Towers throughout property for access points. Never a week signal. I was able to telecommute and stream without any issues and never used my Hotspot or cell data.

    I would have given 5 stars except for closeness of RVs, it's difficult to reserve a site, and because of the heat and my dogs, I didn't use any of the amenities or visit any destination.

    I do prefer dispersed RV sites, however this site came through in a pinch for the heat wave.

    Boise-Meridian KOA

    Way too close to be comfortable

    This is an urban rv part. The sites are packed in very tightly so they can squeeze in as many people as possible. Shower and bathroom were ok. There is a pool, hot tub and small dog park. Not much else to do here. We stayed one night on our was to Craters of the Moon Np.

    Boise Riverside RV Park

    Nothing special

    Glorified parking lot. Sewer connection isn’t threaded, instead they provide you with a rock to place on top of your line so it doesn’t blow out everywhere. Pets are allowed but the only grassy area in the whole park dogs aren’t allowed in. The entire front of the dumpsters had broken glass scattered all over the ground mixed in with the dirt and rocks. And my last complaint BEES!Hornets and wasps were surrounding our outdoor area. The laundry building was clean and maintained. Overall it worked for the 3 nights we stayed but I wouldn’t want to stay longer.

    Exit 3 RV Park

    Parking Lot off the interstate

    This is pretty much a parking lot behind a gas station near the Idaho/Oregon border.


Guide to Homedale

The Homedale area sits at approximately 2,200 feet elevation in southwestern Idaho's Snake River Valley. Summers reach average highs of 90°F while winter temperatures often drop below freezing. Camping opportunities spread across both sides of the Idaho-Oregon border with access to the Snake River creating popular fishing and boating destinations.

What to do

Fishing along riverbanks: At Snake River RV Resort, anglers catch smallmouth bass, channel catfish, and other species directly from shore. "When the weather warms up in the spring this is a great place to catch channel catfish in the shallows," notes reviewer Fishin' R., who adds, "I caught 10 small mouth Bass, couple were keepers!"

Kayaking across state lines: Rivers Edge RV Park offers convenient kayak access to the Snake River. "You can kayak from the camp area on the Snake River, and within just a couple miles, you officially kayaked to Oregon," explains Matt S., highlighting this unique cross-state paddling opportunity.

Wine tasting: Several vineyards operate within short driving distance of local campgrounds. "We found a local vineyard that is a pleasure to visit. Good food, good wine and a great view of the vineyard while eating," reports a visitor at Rivers Edge RV Park.

What campers like

Hot springs access: Dispersed camping at Owyhee-Dispersed provides access to Snively Hot Springs. One camper notes, "The hot springs are off the road across the street from the sign. It was a little too hot for my liking but my wife enjoyed wading in it." This natural geothermal feature offers a unique relaxation opportunity in an otherwise rugged landscape.

Private riverside spots: Many campers appreciate the secluded areas at dispersed sites. "Parked little below the coordinates and spent the night by the Snively hot springs. Not as gross as the reviews lead on. Very happy with this find," shares Zoe, highlighting unexpectedly pleasant conditions.

Desert night skies: The lack of light pollution creates exceptional stargazing opportunities. "It was a brisk 12° in mid/late November. A few campers. If you have an off road vehicle- it's great to climb up some hills to find the perfect spot!" notes Fu yang J. about the Owyhee area, emphasizing the value of elevation for better views.

What you should know

Water conditions vary seasonally: Lake levels fluctuate significantly at McCormack Campground throughout the year. "We came here to kayak and did load our Hobie Mirages on the kayak wheels and pulled them down to the lake which was about a quarter mile over big rocks and gravel because of the extremely low water level," reports Claire M., describing how changing water levels affect recreation access.

No cell service in remote areas: Several campgrounds lack connectivity entirely. Erik C. cautions about Lake Owyhee State Park: "This campground is roughly 40 miles from the nearest medical facilities and there is NO cell phone reception."

Road conditions to lakeside campgrounds: Access roads to some sites present challenges. "The road in is very narrow, single lane, winding, and along the side of a steep cliff into the lake, maybe 15 minutes to drive. Pretty scary. Glad we didn't encounter any cars or boats coming the other direction," warns Steven D. about the approach to McCormack Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Dog-friendly playgrounds: Several dog-friendly campgrounds near Homedale include play areas for children. At Ambassador RV Resort, "The resort also has the nicest gated dog run area we have ever seen," according to Jeff & Steff's Excellent Adventure.

Water temperature considerations: Swimming comfort varies by location. Rivers Edge RV Park offers surprisingly comfortable water temperatures, with one visitor reporting, "The water was so warm I swam at midnight! That's 5 stars."

Safety considerations: For families seeking secure environments, Caldwell Campground and RV Park offers a controlled setting. "This is a flat rate place. No discounts but same price depending on length or stay, back into river view spot, fishing if you're up to it, have tent sites by the lake," explains kenneth B.

Tips from RVers

Easy-access options: For RVers seeking convenient overnight stops, Country Corners Campground & RV Park offers straightforward access. "The perfect place to stay to and from your destination. It's right off I 84 and perfect. It has all you need," states Becky A.

Late arrival procedures: Many parks accommodate after-hours check-ins. "We arrived without a reservation and all surrounding parks were packed to capacity. They were also full but since we only needed electricity they had us share the hook up with another camper," reports Bill B. about Country Corners, highlighting their flexibility.

Dump station locations: RVers should note available dump facilities. One reviewer at McCormack Campground mentions, "The dump station is back up the road at the McCormack CG along with the shower houses," providing important infrastructure information for planning longer stays.
