A great little campground with many full hookups for RVs and some tent sites. There is a small store in the office and a pretty little lake nearby but we didnt see any fish. Lucky for the fisher though the Portneuf River is also right in the campground. Theres a little bit of shade but not really any large trees. If you want to head further up into the mountains this is a great spot to head north from. It is also very close <5 minutes from Lava Hot Springs.

We stayed here for 4 days/3 nights in October. The location is directly across the street from the hot spring pools. Our spot #6 was on the river. We walked across the street to the hot spring pools and a park where in the summer you can tube the river. At the back of the RV park is a trail you can walk along the river and will come to a place where you can enter the river right into a hot spring. The small 15 space campground is right on main street and you can walk to a large number of sites, restaurants, shops, historic museum and buildings and a small market. All the spaces are full hook up and have a concrete patio pad and trees for shade. If you need to charge solar the space in front of each spot has full sun. There is also a path near the hot springs pools that follows the river and is paved.
Legend
Nice Location right along the Portneuf River with very easy acess to the hot springs thanks to a cool suspension bridge! The campsites are very well shaded and there are options for RV hookups.
Legend
Just want to start out saying that this is an RV only campground. This campground however seems more like a trailer park as the office looked vacated and they weren't accepting day to day overnight stays. There wasn't a lot in the terms of amenities except for the basic RV hookups and a shade and bbq area. It's also in the middle of town so theres not really a lot to do. Good for a quick last resort as you roll into town around midnight
LegendThis spot for mostly RVs was a no thrills place for people who want to spend most of their time out of the campground or hanging out in their RVs. The site is set up with full RV hookups around the perimeter of a large gravel parking lot area. There is more RV sites a little higher up and further east.
There also looked like they had small apartments for rent for the day kind of like an Airbnb. We weren'table to see the insides of these apartments but they were unfinished on the outside. There are hotsprings all around Lava and there are plenty of restaurants and small touristy shops along the main street
Legend
Right in the reservoir and by the boat ramp. Lots of people having fun skiing or fishing. RV park is just ok. Sites super close together. Booked full hookups, but got water/elec only (they do have a dump to use before leaving). No bathrooms or showers. Would give 2 stars but Valerie the camp host is super nice and accommodating. Had my choice of a lakeside spot (no shade, back-in) or a pull thru under a tree. Chose the tree. Would stay again, but just as quick overnight.
Guide
Full hook ups and a pretty creek to walk the dog along. Even have washrooms and laundry.
Guide
This is for RV parking with electrical hookups for 20 bucks at the airport. 18 hookups and awesome dog park. Also a bike ride away from a very nice park on the lake with lots of play space for kids during the day. No toilets or showers but a simple stay and there is Wal-Mart everything else you need right in town. Blackfoot Wal-Mart does not allow overnight parking. There is water hookup during season. Also free dump station at fire station.

We were in the Lava Hot Springs, ID area and when traveling US-30, we saw a sign for Caribou Highlands Golf & RV. We had to check out a golf course with an RV park. When you turn off US-30 at the sign, it will be a hard-packed dirt road and you go straight until you see golf course signage and follow them to the course. You will first come to the campground (CG) area where the 10 pull-through sites with FHUs (30/20 AMP). Check-in is at the clubhouse which is about 100 yards from CG. The pull-throughs are long enough for big rigs. A few of the sites have large trees so you will want to watch your sides and roof. There's a bathhouse building. There are no picnic tables at the sites. The cost per night when we were there was $42. During the week its pretty wide open but they do fill up on the weekends. Reservations are made on Campspot. The golf course is a 9-hole links style. They also have a driving range.

This free campground has about 10 sites to choose from, mostly RV but occasionally tent camping. There is a bathroom, no luxury showers or a store to buy firewood or items. It’s about a 10min or less drive to Lava Hot Springs in case you need supply. This campground is right next to the river, has a small waterfall and beautiful scenery all around. The road is extremely bumpy so if your have a low car or trailer be careful. The pros of this is its free. 1st come 1st serve, nice, quiet area. The cons, no shower, hook ups, store and the train that runs by Lava Hot Springs can be heard.

This was our first attempt to find a place to land in the Idaho Falls Area. Located about 10 miles south of Idaho Falls, it is a relatively new 12-unit RV Park (although they list prices for tent sites). When we arrived, there were two open spots but no apparent host or staff on-site. Sites are close to each other in typical RV Park fashion. There were some nice shade trees but they really did not provide much privacy/ separation between sites. The office was closed and you needed a code to access the restroom which we could see no way of obtaining. There were only large RVs camped there even though there are supposedly tent sites (without a code to the bathroom and nowhere that I could see to pitch a tent, I don’t see tenters staying there). There was some road noise and a chain link fence surrounded the campground. Nothing scenic about it. We moved on.
Guide
This is a safe spot for overnight. Nice views of mountains. There is highway noise. Camper trailers can manueuver without difficulty. TMobile works here.

We had scouted T1 campsite at the KOA Holiday in Lava Hot Springs. This campground runs along the creek and is directly across from Mary’s Campground. Site T1 is for a family of 2 maybe 3 but it’s large enough for 2 medium size tents and 1 large one and our canopy. The site itself is surrounded by water and even has a small water fall that you could sit in as if it were a small hot tub size. This KOA is clean and friendly staff. They do have a store for some basic supplies and sell firewood. Not only are there tent sites but also have RV sites, cabins camp and large family size cabins. They have bathrooms/showers and a large playground for young kids. This KOA is within walking distance to Lava Hot Springs Main Street which has places to eat, hot pools, stores, ice cream place and more. Definitely would stay at this KOA again and again.
Legend
We stopped her in October and the water level was extremely low. The boats were dry docked and could not access the marina. We chose this campground because we wanted to visit American Falls, which we did. The area was beautiful, but there was not enough water to create a fall.
The campground is very peaceful with very large spaces and well kept. We has a large grass area with a picnic table and fire pit, fires were prohibited while we were there because of the low water conditions. Behind our space was the river/lake area that was dry. Still the park had great views of the mountains and was very pretty. There are many trails around for bike riding or off road vehicles.
The sites are full hook up, there is a bath/shower house and a laundry. The staff is very helpful. We were a bit early and when we arrived Jason was mowing our space. It was completed very quickly. There are restaurants in town about 5-10 minutes away and a grocery. Wifi was excellent on T-Mobile and Visible.
Guide
The drive up to the lodge and rv park is amazing. Great hosts and a wonderful spot.
Guide
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.
Legend
W drove around the entire area and couldn't find anything resembling an RV park. We did find a cool park nearby the coordinates so maybe it was there at one time?
Scout
Called in last minute for an rv spot and they were super nice and fun great spaces hook ups and very well kept.
Scout
With the pool/water slides across the river, and the shuttle stop for tubing the river across the street and down the road. This campground is the perfect place to enjoy all the water offerings during the summer at Lava Hot Springs. If you are going to rent tubes to ride the river rent through the front desk at the KOA. It is 15% off the price of renting at the tube pickup location.
ScoutWe 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.
TravelerThis is an older campground, and space near reservoirs is a hot commodity. The RV park host was very friendly and accommodating. Very clean campground with a nice boat dock and plenty of spaces to get down near the reservoir and fish.
Warning - Some of the spaces felt like extremely close quarters especially with slide outs. The picture below shows one of the older full utility locations. Some units may not have much room to slide out without contacting the utility boxes. Some units offer great shade and an awning next to a shared fire pit, shared picnic table. Some units have a really nice shared grass area between trailers. Also several people here are seasonal campers with monthly rates. This can make finding a space a little more challenging. Call ahead and make sure to get reservations so you can get a spot.
Lot size seems inconsistent between spaces as some feel very cramped and some of the high number units without utilities had larger spaces between them, almost appearing as an extra space between two units people were using for pet/kid play areas.
Dogs are to be kept on leashes, but people should consider short leashes/tie lines as it is easy for pets to cross into adjacent units depending upon where they are staked. Make sure to plan ahead for power adapters. Only one 30amp service so if your planning to run AC, plan to be the first in or coordinate with your neighbor.
TravelerWe almost didn't stay here because of the low reviews due to the train noise but we were in Lava Hot Springs and this was such a short drive up the road. We arrived pretty late and there were still spots available. We found one big enough for our 21ft travel trailer and vehicle. The site was pretty level too, which we appreciated. We stayed in the last one on the upper loop. The stars were SO bright! We've veen traveling for almost a month and stargazing last night was definitely one of my favorite moments. The train did come by before we went to bed. But we didn't hear it the rest of the night. I am a light sleeper but I do sleep with white noise on, so maybe that helped. The morning views were beautiful! Would definitely stay again!
GuideCute spot for a night or two, super close to Lava Hot Springs where you can soak and shower.
GuideThis RV park would be good for a few RV friends to make reservations and stay as the sites are really close. From the pictures I saw, it appeared as if there was space between sites which was not the case. The owners were very nice and greeted us upon arrival. There is no access to the river as the campground is nestled in-between private roads, houses, private property, etc. There is no cell service here but the do offer Wi-Fi. Not sure if it was due to the amount of people, but the wifi was useless as we couldn't even make a phone call (not video call). There is a center grass location that's great for kids to play. For the price and experience I thought 2 stars but due to their hospitality I bumped it up one. Just not our ideal campground location but it could be exactly what your looking for.
Scout
Good access to lava hot springs and or bear lake. Decent place to stay up in the mountains. Good trails for atvs, hiking, disconnecting. No real problems.
GuideWhen you have a big group and you like to stay up late and have a good time and be loud while at lava hot springs, this is the place for you! There’s a toilet located here, bring your own TP though. The river is fun to jump in and hang out in! The trains come frequently and at times are pretty loud but it doesn’t bother our group. The camping is free and 100% worth it compared to the strict port neuf or koa campgrounds. TONS and TONS of space. It’s never been full when we go. There’s loads and loads of space. It’s only about 2 miles away from town so if you need to go to the bathroom, go to the store, or shop around or eat at a restaurant, it’s not far away at all! Our two dogs love all the free space as well! There isn’t much shade but there are shrubs all around near the river. So bring your shade tents!

Stayed here a few days on our way to Oregon. Quiet campground off the interstate. Not much nearby though. Showers/ restrooms clean and great hot water. Good place to ride bikes. A lot of history in the area. We also visited Lava Hot Springs which was about 1 hour away. Great spot
