    Wifi and solitude

    I am so surprised I have service! Car camping with my dog. Right by the water. Several very cool spots to pick from. You need a 4WD. My pup Wolfie loved it too!

    Lud Drexler Park

    Nice view, horrible flies !

    First two days were good, weather was hot but doable. Only available sites were not close to level and unfortunately the gravel was deep enough that I had trouble getting level blocks in place. Got it close enough to work. This was Labor Day weekend so pretty full. Day 3 saw the arrival of the flies that others have noted. Horrible. Nice tables under pavilions, fire rings and relatively clean vault toilets, dumpsters and a RV dump.

    Rock Creek RV Park

    Good value for the money

    Twin Falls county park within the city. Electric & water. Dump about a mile away. Extremely well maintained. Vault toilets. Lots of paved walkways. Narrow steep, short, paved road in and out, 40 foot rigs navigated in and out

    Cauldron Linn BLM Dispersed

    Beautiful and private but watch out for the flys

    This site was a one night stop but I would’ve stayed a bit longer if I could’ve it was quiet with some good views of the Snake river and the surrounding canyon walls. The one downside is there is a large amount of flys at this site.

    Cauldron Linn BLM Dispersed

    Great campground, not great road

    Beautiful and peaceful, right on the river's edge. Lots to explore. No amenities so be prepared for that. Great place if the road in wasn't so stetchy. Barely made it out with 2wd E250 van. 4wd would probably be fine, just be aware it's a bumpy ride either way! If you come in August, bring something for the flies (they're pretty bad). ✌️

    Murtaugh Lake Park Campground

    Peaceful, clean, grassy campsites

    Birds are abundant, so is the sunshine and good vibes. A few families using the day use areas and boating out on the lake. I wanted to take my paddle board out but the lack of shower facilities had me hesitating.

    Twin Falls-Jerome KOA

    Clean and excellent location for Seattle based multi day trips

    We stopped here on out way home to Settle from Colorado. The staff at front desk was welcoming and nice. The place was quiet at night and super clean bathrooms, showers, and all around. We were very pleasantly surprised. Comparing this to any other KOA that we've stayed at, was one of the best.
