    Pretty typical KOA, which is a good thing!

    We stayed here on our way to Yellowstone. Has most of the usual KOA amenities: clean bathrooms, pool, cabins, full hookup RV spots, and a few tent spots. Even has a couple of teepees. Very friendly staff and a well stocked store/deli. Near Craters of the Moon National Monument. The town of Arco was charming and has an interesting history as the first nuclear-powered city in the US. If our travels take us this way in the future we'll camp here again!

    Disappointing and " unique"

    We arrived with a reservation for a rental RV, smooth and friendly check-in. But then... Small site, no shade at all. Nicely flat though. Firepit/BBQ filled with cigarettes, non-usable. Pool was as small as can be, 10 pax= overcrowded. Toilets and showers outdated, broken and terribly dirty. The neighbour will play a loud national anthem at 9 p.m. and an even louder reveille at 9 a.m. One can see as far as possible, but the scenery consists of old trailers and mess.

    Pro's: The showers were for free and nicely warm. 4 washing machines ($1,75 half an hour) 4 dryers ($1,50 half an hour) Free wafles and coffee between 9a.m. and 10 a.m. Friendly staff.

    Overall: nearly good enough for a one night stay. Never saw something like this before.

    Nice KOA campground

    We like staying here while traveling through Idaho. It’s a short drive to Craters of the Moon National Monument, and Arco, Idaho is a neat little town. The Showers and Laundry facilities at this park were not used by us during this visit. Staff was very friendly during the check in process. There is limited shade in the park.

    First family vacation gone wrong

    For our family's first vacation in our new travel trailer, we foolishly chose to visit the KOA campground in Arco, Idaho. We had informed them of our late arrival around 11 PM. Upon arrival, they handed us a map and pointed to a campsite number. None of the spots were properly marked, but surrounded by other trailers, we assumed we were in the right place. The next morning, we discovered the bathrooms were absolutely revolting, clearly not cleaned for days, despite a sign claiming daily cleaning. Mud on the floors, mold and mildew in the showers, overflowing trash, and toilet paper strewn about—it was utterly disgusting. When we returned later that day, a staff member immediately confronted us, accusing us of lacking a reservation. We provided the requested documentation, and they disappeared. Then the owner or manager approached us aggressively, violently pointing out our supposed error on the map and ordering us to move everything to the correct spot—right behind where we had parked, already occupied by another family they had mistakenly placed. In a menacing tone, he begrudgingly decided to relocate the incoming family to our original spot. This whole scene unfolded in front of numerous families at the KOA, with no regard for our embarrassment or the other campers' discomfort. After this disgraceful ordeal, we decided to just pack up and leave, not even bothering to request a refund. As we were packing, the manager approached, still not apologizing, but handed me a receipt for a refund that I never asked for nor wanted. I informed him firmly that this was not about money but about their appalling mismanagement. I intend to dispute the refund because this KOA should not be associated with such incompetence and filth and I will not accept hush money.

    Beautiful Park

    Beautiful city park that offers free dry camping. They only ask for a donation. Tree’d grassy park with picnic tables & fire pits at each site. Beautiful views of the mountains. Had 2 deer meander through the campground in the morning! A family reunion had the main park/campground reserved for the weekend but they had an overflow area that was just as beautiful minus the trees. But each site still had fire pits and picnic tables. Would absolutely recommend this campground & stay there again. Wish more towns offered something like this!

    Best sunset, baby dog loving, atv life, quit

    I love this place I was a little stressed out because I was driving quite a distance and wasn't sure if I was gonna make the cut off time but I did and they were supernice superfriendly dog friendly AC units the only thing is it took a while for the room to cool down it would have been cool if they were able to set that air conditioner about an hour before arrival but no biggie it's just right in the heart of ATV central the reservoir only downside is there's no real espresso coffee shop if you're from Washington you know you know But highly recommend I would stay here again for sure.

    Quiet, pastoral campground with large, well spaced sites and a great restaurant !

    Mt. View is in the small city of Arco ID, close to Craters of the Moon National monument. Reserving space was easy on line and making a change to our reservation was easy via email. The park has lots o trees and the sites are roomy. The owners are friendly and helpful. 24 hour laundry is available. The restaurant serves delicious BBQ, southern style in a small, homey setting.

    We stayed at this campsite for five nights and we're very happy with the accommodations. The site is very clean, including the laundry facilities. Super, super friendly staff made us feel welcome and comfortable during our stay. Staying at this campsite made it really easy to explore the Craters Of The Moon National Park, the ghost towns, and historical interests in the area. Fabulous large off leash dog area available. Big or small travelers fit well at this campsite!

    Roomy Sites, typical KOA

    The Rv spots were pretty roomy. There’re gravel and pretty level. WiFi is hit and miss, pretty typical for a Koa. Rest rooms are dated but clean but also heavily used when I was here from big tent groups. It’s pretty dusty but that’s a function of the location. Very convenient to Craters of the Moon.

    Fun holiday camping

    Great little campground with full hook ups, 30 or 50 Amp. Spaces for tent camping up to Class A motor homes. Several pull through spots, a few back in spots. The campground is well maintained and had friendly staff. Amenities included showers, restrooms, laundry, small store that sells firewood and propane among other necessities, ice cream social (for a donation) in the evening, free waffle breakfast in the morning, pet friendly with dog park, playground, and pool (although not super warm). Good activities in the area if you enjoy the high desert. We stayed on 4th of July weekend and even with a full park it didn't feel crowded.

    Friendly staff and just a short distance from Craters of the Moon NM

    We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow, were meeting friends in the area and visiting Craters of the Moon NM. The CG was experiencing some electrical service outages at some of the sites, which also impacted the pool and septic system, but they ran a generator when needed to alleviate the septic issues. We were in site D4 for 1 day in early August. The campground is showing some signs of age, but is ok for a short visit to the area. They do offer free waffles and coffee in the mornings and an ice cream social in the evenings. AT&T coverage decent, ranging from 3-4 Bars of LTE with service up to 16 MB/s. We were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site. There were no OTA channels to be had with our fixed omni antenna.

    Great spot to see Craters

    We passed through here heading from the Tetons to Oregon. Looks a lot like several other small town KOAs we’ve stayed at. Free waffles for breakfast was a nice touch. We got a site with a large shade tree but many were totally exposed to the sun. Beautiful countryside nearby but not much going on in the town of Arco. Only 20 minutes to the Craters of the Moon visitors center. Great location to stay to check out this remote and amazing NPS site.

    Good spot for craters of the moon

    Staff was friendly, bathrooms were ok, no dedicated shower rooms (for the men at least). Playground for kids was minimal, but pool seemed nice. This is a good jumping off point for craters of the moon.

    They had free waffles and coffee on the Saturday morning we were there. Not sure if that’s an everyday thing, but it was nice.

    About 20 min drive to Craters Of The Moon, and it’s worth it to go out there and check it out.

    Beware google maps doesn’t map properly to this campground and may take you down an old dirt road. You should turn in town at “pickles place”.

    Far out there RV Park - middle of nowhere!

    Cute campsite/RV Park. Nothing is around, so bring food and activities! The store is really cute, they serve ice cream in the evenings and pancakes for breakfast. Nice touch, since there isn’t much else around. Small pool, but it’s great after a hike in the park.
