Best Glamping near Inkom, ID

In far away Downey Idaho is a little resort with hot springs, cabins, wagons, teepees, a RV campground and a nice little eatery and a load of other fun things. It's small but busy so make reservations, when you check in ask about the steak and soak...so worth it especially if you arrive later and only have a few hours. One of the biggest pluses is the cleanliness of the whole property and the level of care throughout. This is a great place for families where parents can relax as the kiddos entertain themselves and you can meet up at the campfire for dinner. This is a high recommendation for this great place.

The Lava pools are amazing and the town is very charming and walkable options. They have canoeing, rubber tubes, evokes, vespas and four wheelers available. The campsite is very kids friendly during summer months.

We stayed at the end of September. Leaves were beginning to turn and were gorgeous.

This campground was always clean. Walking distance to restaurants and local shops. Our riverside campground was wonderful.

quaint, clean, all the necessities within a 5 min walk.

We did not stay at the KOA, but right up the road at a Sportsman Access area. Camped right next to the river at no cost. We were able to get a large cleared out spot, not very many neighbors, 1 vaulted toilet on sight. Now there is no potable water in this area and not much shade. But great, no cost, quite, river access and only 3 miles from center of Lava Hot Springs where we went tubbing.

One of the vest locations for a KOA in terms of tourist stuff to do.  The downtown of Lava spring is a walk away and so is the large enclosed hot sprngs and pool.  There is also an outdoor pool at the KOA and a small convenience store.  A local mexican food truck is also parked right in the campground!

The campsites are all typical KOA sites with options for hookups.  A third of the sites sit right along the Portneuf River

We stayed here in our tent and was given the last tent site in the back. It was small, but cozy. The bathrooms were super clean and so were the showers. This KOA is within walking distance to the hot pools, store, and places to eat. The front camp sites are almost like a large group site but I believe there are a few small sites for tents. Overall it wasn’t a bad camp trip..

Great pull-through and the back-in spots are beautiful. Kid, pet friendly, walking distance to food and fun. One of the best KOA’s we have stayed at.

Honestly, I feel like any other campground there are rules. If you don’t like rules then don’t camp at a campground. The camp-host was nice and respectful. He did do his rounds to make sure rules were being followed. If you obey the rules, you’re fine. If you don’t, you get asked to follow them or asked to leave. Not all campsites have a fire pit, so you have to rent one. There’s also not a “play” area. This campground is nice, but it’s a little tight.

It is pretty packed in the summer. Lots of people. But rather clean. I would go back. But maybe fall or spring.

Mary’s gets some stars for being green and shaded with bathrooms/showers, and full hookups. It also has a lovely suspension bridge to town. A pretty easy walk to the hot pools with little kids. It’s also along the river and train tracks. All of which I thought was delightful to see and hear. The camp host was also very helpful with parking. But Mary’s loses stars for how close the sites are to each other. There is zero privacy; you’re on-top if each other. Being so close wouldn’t be so bad, but it’s definitely a party camp site. If you want to be kept awake at all hours of the night by loud and drunk party people of all ages that have zero respect for noise discipline...then this is the place. If you’re a young family or retired couple looking for a peaceful retreat. This is not the place for you.

Seemed a little over priced for what it was. The RV sites were good and tent sites had lots of grass but still is $40 a night. Close to hot springs and town.

We were booked here and did not stay. It sort of looked like an abandoned RV park, there is no manager or grounds keeper on site. You check in at the casino. The grass was completely overgrown, the park was not well kept and seemed to have a mix of one nighters and extended stayers. Several sites seemed to be housing a lot of people, a few RVs had multiple vehicles parked around them. And there were lots of random vehicles parked along the fence line. No playground, no extras. It was dirty. No cell coverage, no Wi-Fi, which is fine if you’re in the beauty of God’s creation, but this is not that place. This is literally a place to park if you are going to spend all your time at the casino and pray your things are still there when you return. Our credit card was skimmed from the gas station right outside the RV park, as well. And obviously crime is an issue because there was security at each door of the gas station. We left and found a better park. They have only two pictures on their website, that should have clued me in! And I was so quick to leave that I forgot to take any pictures myself.

Little space between sites, no room for picnics, no lights at night to walk to from facilities/casino

We come here every year to meet family. Friendly staff, clean areas, reasonable rates. Busy time is between Memorial Day and Labor day. We always visit after Labor Day. No sewer, electricity and water at most sites

Nice little spot in the middle of nowhere. A little crowded is my only complaint. Nice friendly staff. Good pools. Basic amenities available in the main office. We had a spot with power and water. Kids and dog loved it. We got to see the fireflies in the field!

It occured to me that since I visited this property a second time that I should get perspective on my earlier spring visit. We had a wet spring so it was a bit muddy in places, gravel on these roads would go a long way in keeping the mud down and the hole smaller. Next the grass had not been cut down and was very high, walking around in the morning ment wet shoes plus it made it more difficult to set up and tear down. I only mention these inconveniences because of the high price to stay at the resort. Firewood has to be bought there, but it is a fair price and is delivered directly to your site. If you are tent camping in the far sites the bathroom is a bit of a walk but not terrible, and in my other review they are kept very clean. Even with the minor annoyances, this is a great place to get away and relax and enjoy. And BTW...it's bring your own alcohol, so if you indulge be forewarned. Enjoy!
