Recreation
The Visitor Center and scenic 7-mile Loop Drive are located 1.5 miles from the group campground on the south side of U.S. Highway 20/26/93.

Honeys Park
Threatened violence and kicked out for late arrival
This RV park policy and website update clearly indicates that a guest (established or new) might be met with violent force for a late arrival....
Granted, this "dog park/field camp/RV park" is the host's private property, but so is every other independently owned RV park out there, right? By limiting access to the park during overnight hours, including for established guests, and with the threatened violence, I highly DO NOT recommend staying here!! If you are looking for free camping, plenty of other dispersed camping is available in the general vicinity.
On the surface, the campground and host seemed pleasant and sufficient. We arrived in early evening, and after disconnecting our towed vehicle, we prepped to leave the park to visit a nearby hot spring, telling the host that we'd miss the 9 pm bonfire and all, but would see him later that night or the next morning.
After a nice soak, and observing of the stars on an amazing dark night with no moon, we returned to the camp at 3 am. Dimming my car headlights, I went to open the gate quietly to enter the park, yet I was met at the gate by the host and his dog, indicating how rude and inconsiderate I was, and that I'd ruined his night's sleep and he wouldn't be able to go back to sleep. The host has a series of driveway alarms and signs and cameras, creating a circumstance that no established guests could come and go from his RV park without awakening and disturbing the host.
On arrival the previous evening, the website and signs all indicated that the host preferred new arrivals to not check-in in the middle of the night, but to arrive during daylight hours. Otherwise, signage indicated that established guests could come and go, as long as we opened and closed the gate behind us.
The next morning, just after 9 am, the host knocked on our door and told my partner that we needed to pack up and leave and that the "armed man was getting more and more annoyed by our presence", implying that if we stayed any longer, that the host might respond with armed violence and force. My partner asked how long that we had to pack up and depart, and the host just repeated that the "armed man was getting more and more annoyed by our presence." We packed up and left within 30 minutes.
Apparently, the host took a "survey of current campers" (maybe 3-5 other guests) while we were out that evening, and elected to change his access policy to indicate that the front gate of the RV park would stay locked from 10:30 pm to 7 am every night. This policy would have denied my access to my home (I am a full-timer).
His website (which was changed between when we arrived and the next morning when he ejected us) now includes the following: "Too many times in 2024 (around 10 so far by July) I've had people set off the driveway alarm at 3-4 in the morning. And while I can turn off the alarm sometimes, I can't turn off the Aussie Shepherd. I personally think you are very rude if you come into a camp that time of night with your lights on and wake up others. So on July 5th I took a vote amongst the nights guests on what would be reasonable, and while I started out on the "let me shoot them at the gate side" the campers felt that closing the gate to all traffic at certain hours would be more reasonable. If you try to sneak thru it during those hours and set off the dog or alarm, my side may win the argument that night. So if you need to be selfish enough to wake me or others in camp up with 3 am charades, you need to camp elsewhere for my medical issues and your health."
The host can establish whatever policies and rules he'd like, but it creates a circumstance whereby any prospective guests should highly reconsider their options when looking to stay in the Arco area.

Awesome, different campground
Thank you Elon for Starlink else I could not stay here. Zut Verizon or Cricket ( cricket sometime showed 1 bar but not usable)
Great campground, friendly staff. No hookups but potable water available.
The National Monument is so different. The stark, barren countryside is so rugged it’s beautiful
Not that many big rig sites, so pity it’s only fcfs, especially as it is so remote.
Loved the visit
Did not use facilities so cannot comment on them
$$$$. If you do not have a pass ( like, America the Beautiful which you can apparently buy onsite ) there will be a daily access fee.

Fantastic landscapes
Standard profit maximized government campground with some unique sites. Super clean bathrooms, easy self pay, accessible sites and a lot of walking and driving activities available. Will definitely feel crowded when full. Sat/sun night at the end of oct was maybe 25%. Excellent stargazing

Unique Campground
Unlike anywhere else to camp! Amazing stars, easy access to trails and beautiful volcanic landscapes. My only complaint is the lack of privacy and sound carries a little too well so hopefully you’ll have respectful neighbors. We moved sites when more people left-Very little trees and rock piles separate each site. The facilities were super clean with flushing toilets and sinks-no showers. Water pumps throughout the sites, and a very convenient self pay station per night for the campsites.

Out of this world camping!
This experience is a must! The campsite is in the lava fields. Like amongst piles of volcanic rock and mounds of lava flows. It’s unreal! If you like rocks, plan to stay a few days. We almost went back after we left!

The bees knees
Talk about a great find after taking a wrong turn at 1.am free sites with plenty to pick from. When you check out the website make sure you read the whole thing, the guy is hilarious, had my girl and I laughing the whole time, dogs had a blast were able to run around the whole time with out leash,. I would rate more than 5 stars if I could
Honeys Park
Great spot
This is a great location. The owner of the property, Scar, is very generous in offering his property for free to stay at to complete strangers. This is dry camping, no water or sewer. There’s a dump station with water close by off the main highway. He does have a few outlets we saw but didn’t use them. Owner is friendly and generous. We enjoyed the nightly campfire. Read his website before arriving, all he really asks for and be respectful. Craters of the Moon is not too far. We hope to stop by again one day. Idaho is beautiful.

Great little free Campground
The guy is welcoming. Nice little place for anyone who’s looking for a nights sleep. Just be mindful of the campground and just relax👍🏼

Amazing views, but sites close together
This place is so unique that I imagine it'd be hard to have a bad camping spot. That being said, it felt like they really tried to cram as many camp spots into one area as possible. It left me not wanting to sit outside my van as much, which maybe is my own issue, but dampened the experience for me as there were other campers very close by. And for the price it was (I actually can't recall if I paid $20 or $30) but it was expensive. Also, due to COVID, on-site bathrooms were closed, which they failed to make clear before buying a site for the night.

Free private camp with awesome host, free wifi , electricity, beer, shooting on request,
Title says a lot. Dude put in many power stations, wifi etc all on his own and only wants people to act decent to stay. Lots of room. Old buses for hostels. Shower, water sewer garbage a few feet away. Near town and free. Campfire gatherings most nights. Check it out.

Very cool place
It was like another planet. We really enjoyed this park & campground. We were told it fills up fast but we got there early enough and then went exploring. The weather was cool & rainy so we didn’t explore as much as we would have liked.
Honeys Park
Free camping with power wifi and everything nearby.
It's a free campground ran by a disabled vet. He can't and won't charge anyone, though lately has been allowing donations to pay it forward and help with things like recovering the power installation etc. Come make a friend, share a beer, hang as long as you want as long as you're not a jerk. Dogs are welcome and the place is named after one.

Great Campground!
I loved this campground! it feels like you are staying in the middle of the lava beds. it has easy checkin if you arrive after hours, reservations are not required and you can pay on site any hour of the day or night! It is clean and quiet. The facilities are well kept up. The Ranger station and visitor center are nearby. the campground is at the start of the drive through the Monument. It is open so you can do stargazing without difficulty! it was wonderful!

Space
Lots of space for a large group. There were 10 of us. Sit hasn’t it’s own water and vault bathroom, which was clean. Lots of space to run and play. This site is not a destination unto itself, but is a good launchpad into the park
Group Campground — Craters of the Moon National Monument
Basalt, hot, windy...
But, a convenient place to camp if you are visiting and exploring the park. Ranger led programs, lava tunes, volcanic landscape.
