Camping options in the Kimberly, Idaho area range from established RV parks to free dispersed camping on public lands. The Snake River Canyons Park - Ricketts RV Camp provides free dispersed camping with designated sites that include fire pits and picnic tables. Twin Falls-Jerome KOA and Oregon Trail Campground offer more developed facilities with full hookups for RVs. Most campgrounds accommodate both tent and RV camping, with some locations like Anderson Camp RV Park and Twin Falls-Jerome KOA also offering cabin rentals and glamping options.

Road access to most camping areas near Kimberly is straightforward, with many sites located within a short drive of Twin Falls. Snake River Canyons Park features gravel driveways and is easily accessible for most vehicles. The region experiences hot, dry summers and cold winters, making spring and fall the most comfortable seasons for camping. Most developed campgrounds operate seasonally, with the KOA open from March through October. Free dispersed camping at Snake River Canyons Park has a 5-night maximum stay limit and receives nightly security checks. A camper observed, "This site is free and easy to find, and not too far off the main road. There are a dozen or so marked sites with their own tables and fire pits."

Several reviewers mention the convenience of camping locations that provide easy access to nearby attractions. Shoshone Falls, often called the "Niagara of the West," is approximately 15 minutes from Anderson Camp RV Park and other nearby campgrounds. Sites at Snake River Canyons Park are surrounded by trails for ATVs and mountain bikes, providing recreational opportunities directly from camp. Tent campers should note that ground conditions can be challenging at some sites. One review of Snake River Canyons Park stated, "Ground is very rocky, but was able to stake it fairly easily. This site is very close to the town, like a quick 5 minute drive." Many campsites in the area lack natural shade, which can be significant during summer months when temperatures regularly exceed 90 degrees.

    Saguaro RV Park at Cactus Petes Resort Casino

    Not bad for a night

    Stopped here for a single night. $32/night gets you water and power, and access to the bathroom (which has showers and laundry).

    Sign in is just dropping your cash in an envelope into the Dropbox. To get the code for the bathroom you'll need to ask the front desk.

    Lots of fruiting trees, well maintained. Not bad at all.

    City of Rocks Camp and Climb

    Great option for EVs

    The owner, Steve, is super accommodating and cool with charging your EV at the campsite. Electric and water taps are on even numbered sites and shared with the adjacent odd numbered site, so if your cord or hose is on the short side choose an even numbered site. No shade(yet) but great views of the surrounding hills. Close to everything, virtually no road noise. Dump station is a mile and a half away at the entrance to Smokey Mountain campground,$7 or an Idaho Park Pass sticker on your tow vehicle. 

    GPS coordinates on Dyrt are incorrect, should be 42.087665637904415,-113.63355364914494

    Twin Falls-Jerome KOA

    Jerome / Twin Falls KOA

    This is the worst place we have ever stayed. Dirty and gross. No grass in pet areas just compacted dirt. Game amenities were filthy. Ran out of water during the night. We knick named the park KOA Compton.

    Cauldron Linn BLM Dispersed

    So. Many. Flies.

    The farm road out has a small patch of very rough road. It was just passable in my non-lifted Sprinter. There is a smallish open area to camp at the top, it’s very exposed and you will have approximately 15 flies in your car in 90 seconds. The road down to the water is beyond tore up- I don’t know how anyone makes it down. The water is very green/slimy, I had my dog jump in but I wouldn’t dunk myself. We didn’t stay.

    Steer Basin Campground

    Great spot

    Love this little campground, right along Rock Creek. Went in January as well as mid September and hardly any other people. Vault toilets (not available in winter) and water available, no trash service so be prepared to pack it out. As others have said it's right along the road so you do get the occasional traffic noise. Overall though a great campsite.

    Cauldron Linn BLM Dispersed

    Gorgeous but beware washed out roads

    Farm road to BLM awash with loads of potholes but can be navigated cautiously. Once at the Cauldron, do not go down to the river unless you have 4WD. Whilst you can get down, recent rains mean the doable steep climb back out is riddled with massive dips and rocks. While I did get out in a 2WD (small) van with a lift, it took a few tries and a kindly fellow camper who could watch and help me troubleshoot a doable path. Great hiking all around the Snake River offers serenity with dramatic rock formations and vegetation. Beautiful migration of myriad geese at night. Campers have left their marks in disappointing ways, so please pack out what you pack in. Sheriff came by around sunset—due to hazardous road and shady business on weekends.

  • Free camping options: Some campgrounds, like Snake River Canyons Park - Rickett's RV Camp, offer free camping, which is a big plus for budget travelers. A review stated, "It’s hard to believe this place is free. Nicer than some National Forest campgrounds."

What you should know:

  • Limited amenities: Many campgrounds are rustic and may lack modern facilities. A camper mentioned, "The bathrooms are just toilets," indicating the basic setup at some sites.
  • Road conditions: Some access roads can be rough, so be prepared for a bumpy ride. One review warned, "The dirt road leading to the area has some pretty rough spots and some washboarding."
  • Wildlife encounters: Expect to see various wildlife, but be cautious. A visitor noted, "Wildlife was very active; lots of mosquitoes and bats at night."

  • Choose family-friendly spots: Look for campgrounds with amenities like picnic tables and open spaces. A review mentioned, "We found a pull-in area under a cluster of trees that was perfectly serene."

Tips from RVers:

  • Be mindful of reservations: Some campgrounds operate on a first-come, first-served basis. A visitor said, "I’d recommend going earlier if you can," to secure a good spot.
