    Pocatello KOA

    Good for a quick stay

    Campsites are a little close with no privacy and there are no sewer connections at the individual sites. There are two dump sites on the backside of the store. Pretty much gravel throughout with some grass at the smaller sites. Amenities: kids playground area with grass, a small fenced dog park, horseshoes, picnic table at each site (no fire pits at the pull through sites). Inside the store: pool table, table tennis, and a foosball table. Overall a good clean campsite to hold you over for a day or two.

    Hover Camp

    Great amenities and great location!

    We needed a place to stay in our van for a few nights on our way to Grand Tetons. The owners were very friendly and helpful, Randy even brought us a picnic table for our spot. It was so nice to have a hot shower for a change. The bathhouse/restroom was very clean. There is laundry on site, which was a major plus for us. Cell service is great, and WiFi is provided. They also have large RV/camper spots, tent spots, and cabins. There’s a play area for children too. We are so grateful for them having us at their campsite, and if we are in the area again we will be back!

    Hover Camp

    Fly fishing outfitter and campground in one

    In Swan Valley the name of the game is fly fishing. This small campground is also a fly fishing outfitter and shop. While l was just passing through and I am not a fisherwoman, it seemed to offer pretty good services if that is your thing. I pulled in after hours but fortunately the owner’s dog alerted her to my presence and she was willing to open the office to rent me a tent site for the evening. There are 3ish tent sites(one was being worked on), about a half dozen pull thru RV sites, and 3 or 4 cabins for rent. There is a central bathhouse with two full bathrooms in a trailer for everyone to share. The bathhouse rooms are electronically accessed with codes the host gives you on check in. They were really nice and clean, like bathrooms in a typical modern home, except that one had the water heater tank in it and both had space heaters on the floor to plug in(fire hazard??). The tent site I chose was at the back of the campground so I didn’t have much highway noise, and fell asleep to the sound of the nearby horses grazing. Next door on the other side is a municipal building that appears to be the home base for the sheriff. The view of the back of the office/fly shop is not very picturesque, with boats and atv’s and odds and ends laying about. There are nice trees providing shade, but there is no real privacy between sites, tents, or cabins. The grass was quite lush, so I am wondering when the sprinkler system comes on. This place works as a layover or for someone who will take advantage of the fly fishing services, but not much else.

    Warm Slough

    Good for the price($0)

    As many free sites are it hasn’t been maintained or respected by those who use it. There’s trash all over and broken glass in the pit toilet. But there’s some picnic tables and fire pits and plenty of space.

    Wish we could stay longer

    This is a beautiful, quiet camp. On weekdays anyway when we stayed. Clean bathrooms, wonderful and flat sites, easy hookups, kind people. Close to hot springs and Idaho Falls.

    Snake River RV Park & Campground

    Maybe for an overnight stay

    A bit run down. Picnic table covered in bird poop. Site seemed washed out. Kinda sandy. No firepit or grill at my site. Pub and grill next door for wine, beer and basic bar food, arcade, family friendly. Verizon service was good. Wifi terrible. General store was poorly stocked. The area seemed industrial. Staff was nice. Bathroom was clean.
