Best Cabin Camping near King Hill, ID

The Campground was very nice green grass with beautiful big trees by the Snake River. The nice thing about camping in October was the fact that we were the only tent campers. It appears to be much busier with warm weather. There are beautiful views of the waterfalls across the river from the Campground. The campsite is a bit spendy at $25 a night per tent compared to other campgrounds nearby that are $20 a night for up to 5 tents. The customer service was not very good as when we arrived they gave us a deal on camping since we were the only 3 families, only for the next day an employee to harrass us about not paying enough. She would not back off and was very rude. Several hours later she verified we were in fact given the deal but was still rude and seemed mad. The pool is great but a bit chilly for my liking of a hot spring with no hot tub to relax unless you pay for the private rooms.

The snake river and the 1,000 Springs are beautiful. Having the opportunity to camp alongside the winding Snake, while watching the sun rise and set over the springs and hear their thundering in the quiet of the night was an amazing opportunity. We brought tubes, life vests, and ropes to tie the tubes to the dock, and we let the kids float in the river. They loved bouncing around on the waves as speed boats passed by. The sites are pretty shady which was a relief from the blazing, hot sun.

FYI: cell service anywhere in the canyon is sketchy at best. The campground provides WiFi—but it doesn’t carry strength very far past the main building.

I’m not sure that I expected more from the “resort” before I arrived, but I did find the overall care and management of the property to be disappointing, although the staff was friendly.

For starters, the sites were cramped and campers really have to hope for good neighbors. The only water pump was a hike for most tents. When we arrived, we found our fire bowl filled with trash and ash. We had to remove the garbage and did our best to prevent to ash from choking our charcoal.

One couple was given one site for their first night and then asked to move, without advance warning at check in, per convenience of management. It’s a lot of work to set alone camp, let alone having to do it again.

It felt campers were nickled and dimed at pricey rates for ice, wood, etc., and even the fee to swim in the pool. There are signs everywhere reminded the visitor that this or that is extra.

The facility feels like it was built in 1960 and not maintained since. The camp bathroom/shower was filthy, and the though if using it made us fell dirtier than clean. I’m pretty adaptable, I live my showers, but skipping the shower seems like a good option.

The geothermal swimming pool was nice. It was really warm—like a mild hot tub or super warm bath. There are hot mineral baths that we didn’t try because they cost even more than it cost us to swim in the pool.

I would like the campground a lot more if they reinvested at least a portion of all those fees into their facility to maintain the premises.

While totally not the fault of management, the campground can be subject to really high winds. During our stay a full night and day of high winds caused many tents to completely collapse. Be advised so you can be prepared.

Would I go back? Maybe.

Road noise is minimal depending on where you are in the RV park. Love the amenities for everyone (playground, dog parks, pool, mini golf, etc). Full hook ups available. $45 w/KOA membership (10% off), pull-through, full hook-ups. Would stay again. Very friendly and helpful family who run it. Only downside is shared pull-throughs: Literally looking in the window of our neighbors on driver’s side. There are cabins here.

This is probably one of the fanciest camping sites I’ve ever been too. Definitely not as “in nature” as I’m used to but still a really cool experience. I paid 38 for one night for me and my 2 dogs. They had lots of social areas around and lots of variety between RVs, tent sites, and cabins but the tent camping sites were pretty tightly packed together. I like to sit out and read with my lanterns by the fire once the sun goes down and I ended up having to move into my tent to read because the site next to me was too bright from my lanterns and I felt bad. Other than that, they had an adorable gift shop and frozen yogurt night was happening during my visit. There are bathrooms with showers available. And a store to purchase anything and everything you may need from shampoo to firewood to food to cook as well as souvenirs. All together great experience and I would definitely camp again!

Great hot spring camp site. They have different pools of varying temperatures, alligators, trees and plenty of room for each site. I stop by every time I swing through Idaho.

A membership RV camp 23 miles north of Mountain Home, Idaho. An oasis of trees in the middle of sage brush on the middle of nowhere. Located just inside Boise National Forest. The pool was closed but I'm sure it would have been very nice. If we lived in a nearby city like Boise I would buy a reasonably priced membership without batting an I. We reserved thru our RPI membership. $10 a night for us. I'm in love with Fort Running Bear.

Fort Running Bear RV Park, Idaho

If you like the middle of nowhere, you will like Fort Running Bear RV Park. It is approximately 32 miles to the middle of nowhere, the last three are on a dirt road. You are driving through scrub country with no trees and hills in the distance. Then you see a copse of trees in the distance. That is where you end up. This is an older campground, private and family run. There is a shower house attached to the swimming pool and a laundry room. The sites have room around them for tents, bikes, etc; a covered picnic table , most have shade and fire rings. There are full hookup sites and basic sites. When we visited the wind was wiping through the area. The owners are personable and friendly, the campground is well maintained. The shower house ...clean and a little old. This would be a nice place to spend a quiet weekend or time with the family. It would not make sense to use this campground for a base camp due to the distance from anywhere.

My family of 6 stayed in our 31' travel trailer for 2 nights over the Father's Day weekend and it was a welcome respite for us as we passed through the area on a year long journey. The bathrooms were sparkling and the sites were very well kept. The park staff were friendly and helpful. Close to several things to do, hotsprings, historical sites, fossil beds, and the town which had a few restaurants. Definitely recommend!

This campground is quiet, shady and pleasant. Very well maintained, laundry is cheap, $3, and just a joy to be outside. We spent our time around the picnic table, despite 98°temps. Hiked Box Canyon and swam, visited the Fossil Bed NM, and drove to Twin Falls for more swimming, shopping, movie and skating.

Lots of shade and Grassy sites with plenty of space. Well kept. Clean restrooms and laundry. Quiet with no road noise. Level pull-throughs.

Nice. $40 a night. Has wifi, but speed is slow. I hot-spotted my phone. I have 5G T-Mobile phone. Great signal

We stayed at Haggerman RV Village in July 2021. This is a nice, shady RV park. We had a large pull-thru site with water, sewer, and electric that accommodated our fifth wheel and dually Ram with no problems. Be forewarned that this park is green and beautiful because sprinklers run at night and may hit your camp chairs and bbq. The staff do warn you about this in advance (thank you). The nearby town offers a great wood oven pizza place called Fire Pie Pizza. There is plenty of room to walk your pups and just sit back and relax as it is remarkably quiet here. They do have a propane fill station and nice office staff. We highly recommend this park.

We stopped here for the night on our way to Yellowstone, and boy, where we not disappointed. Liz and her husband have done a fantastic job with their park; the sites are well kept and level. They have grass and gravel on the sites. The pond and lazy river were a hit with the kids. We sat all morning on the dock and watched frogs eating bugs off the water.

We just went to 1000 springs this past weekend. A total of 12 of us in two separate spots. One right on the water and the other in the middle section in the tent camping area. The water was wonderful and we were able to paddle over to Ritter island on our paddle boards. The campsites are decent size but way to close together where you are basically on top of the camp site next to you. We didn't use any of the amenities such as the pool because the weather was warm and the river was cool. The dock off our campsite could have used a little TLC, I got splinters just from touching it. The portable bathrooms were clean when we got there and full and dirty when we left. You can only have one car per campsite and the rest have to be parked elsewhere which the spots really aren't big enough for a car and multiple tents. But would definitely go back again.

i loved my campsite on the water….got afternoon shade. nice wifi signal. i am surprised that they don’t offer showers or running water, since it is available in abundance. i think it is silly that you have to pay extra for the pool. this place is great but overpriced
