"What a great find during our travels through Southern Idaho. Situated by a pond with lots of birds made our stay very peaceful."
"You may be a little unsure when you are driving to it, but trust me this place is great. Offers great views of the mountains and Malta below."
"City Of Rocks National Reserve, Idaho
Fascinating, desolate, historical State Park."
"Sites are dispersed throughout the entire park, as opposed to being condensed into one central location. It makes for some very unique and private sites - no two alike."
$8 - $50 / night
"Lake Cleveland is approximately 2 miles away and has great fishing opportunities. Mt. Harrison Peak is 3.1 miles away and gives beautiful views into the South and West of Idaho. "
"Our site was not too close to any others except the other one we booked with friends. Decent bathrooms. Close to Lake Cleveland. Great birding in the actual campground."
"Located about a 7-mile drive/walk to the entrance of City of Rocks, Smoky Mountain Campground is situated above the valley providing a wonderful view from many sites including space #19 where I parked"
"TTo start off this is an Idaho state park and requires a fee to enter (was $10) This is a great place to go if theres swarms of climbers at the City of Rocks because of the fee which tends to drive away"
"We found this site on the Dyrt in looking for a stopover between Park city Utah and Boise Idaho. Wow, Bennet Springs is a hidden gem!"
"Our favorite site has a little creek right next to it. Great for kids to play in. There's also a trail that goes along the creek which starts at the bottom most campsite."
$10 / night
"Driving up to Lake Cleveland I realized that this was the same road we traveled in the winter to get to one of our local ski mountains. "
"This is a beautiful Campsite right on Lake Cleveland. The East side is great for RV's while the West end is better for Tents."
$5 / night
"This is another great campsite on the road that heads up to Lake Cleveland and Mt Harrison. "
"Just a short walk away brings you to incredible views and cool rock formations. There is an outhouse but no running water and it’s a trash in/trash out campsite."
"Loved hearing the creek as we tucked in for the night. The hike the next morning to the lake was a great challenge! There is an unmarked fork at about a mile and half in... go right!"
"There is no access to dumping trash. It's a 2.5 mile hike to the first lake. It inclines all the way up."
"And the Bates are the nicest people ever- they know all about the parks and their place is very close to City of Rocks and Castle Rocks!"
"It is near Lake Cleveland and a few miles from the Ranger Lookout. This is a great spot for anyone wanting to hike or ride Mountain Bikes. The lake is great for swimming or fishing."
GuideLooks like a nice spot with a pit toilet, but there is only 2 spots that I saw, both taken. Ended up pulling my truck next to the gate to get a few hours sleep. Wouldn't plan this stop. Amazing views. Cows got in the fence
GuideAbout 3 1/2 miles on a semi maintained gravel road. Lots of cows. Nice quiet spot with some picnic benches. There are a few nice spots. Plenty of room to turn around. Pit toilet, but no other amenities. Not worth driving out of the way to stay here.
GuideGreat spot! Well maintained dirt road and toilet! Great hanging with all the cows. Amazing views! Don’t use Apple Maps. Google will get you there on the easiest road.
GuideStayed here on my way to Yellowstone from SF Bay Area in California. Site was plenty roomy and not sitting right next to another camper giving the illusion of seclusion. Didn't stay long enough to do any fishing but saw several spots along lake i'd loved to have tried. Facilities were clean and spread out enough so there were plenty everywhere. Ranger was very nice and accommodating. Definitely recommend.
TravelerThe campground is clean. The lake is beautiful. The downside is that there is no dump station. And no sewer connection. There are only pit toilets and no showers.
TravelerSmall free campground right by the river some areas had benches. Pit toilets available, only downside was got woken by the train sounding the horn only happened once in the morning but great spot if you are passing through.
TravelerNice large open area to camp outside the park, can get a bit windy as so open but much better than paying a lot for the campgrounds in city of rocks. No toilets but there are some 10 mins drive away into the city of rocks. Got a little busy but people were respectful of privacy and space
TravelerBeautiful little area by the lake with some nice views of the mountain. The grounds are a little uneven at certain points with gopher holes, but every site has a nice fire pit and picnic area. Bathrooms are outhouses so not the best, but not horrible. Very low-key vibes here which we love. Only one other group camping here besides us. :)
GuideThe campground was quiet and clean, many sites right on the lake. There is not much privacy, but there weren’t many people there when we were so jt was nice. There are lots of what I believe to be honey locus pods on the ground that were tough to keep our dog from eating.
There was also what appeared to be some sort of weed killer sprayed on the weeds in the road, which was annoying to make sure the dog stayed away from.
Really nice sunset over the lake.
