Best Campgrounds near Malta, ID

Small 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.

Nice 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

Fine for a night when passing through. But it’s free range and lots of cow pies & trash and it’s smelly. Pit toilets are clean, dumpster, tables and fire pits, but for $15 you’re better off somewhere else

Paved roads in, plenty of trails that lead to even greater views. Clean bathrooms and showers. If you don't have an RV, they have cabins that look very nice also.

No fire ring

Needed to get a travel trailer from Tremonton to Burley, a bit more than my Tesla MY could muster during winter. Campground is well maintained, has 50 amp hookups, and is ok with charging an EV. In fact they offer 6 hours of charging for $25 if not needing to spend the night.

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

Paid$15/night for a site right by the Snake River,#13. Pit toilets and trashcans. Sites have picnic tables and fire rings and are spaced out fairly well. Quiet. Houses are visible on the opposite side of the river. ------>>Don't go in the east entrance due to 11ft bridge over the road.

Uncrowded. Fire pits and bbq. Clean and well stocked Pit toilets. Lots of space between sites. Lake front. Fish jumping. Few bugs. Quiet. Bright lights on the dam. Full LTE service

Great location just a few minutes off the highway with multiple sites. Offers great views of the river and several prebuilt fire rings around the area as well. 4 x 4 recommended to get down to some of the lower spots, but there’s sites up top as well that would be suitable for 2-Wheel drive vehicles. Bring bug spray if you visit in the hotter months

Easy access on a gravel road, open field with 5 stone firepits. Relatively hard to find a level spot, but not terrible. No shade, very open area - it’s also open grazing land so you may have some cattle visitors. Stayed midweek in August and was alone the entire time.

Outhouses available in the park about 5-10 min drive away if you need them.

I don't know how people are finding the beautiful places they show here. I used the GPS coordinates from here and it led me to a maze of twisted little passages. Very deeply rutted roads challenging me and my 4wd led to a complex of turns and turnarounds. The only road that appeared to lead down to the river was dirt at about 45 degrees. There are many ways to go and I don't know how to could know which to take. Must be dumb luck to find a pretty place by the river.

So, I left and went to the location that the BLM website gives for this named place. It's not the same place. The official location of this place is farther west. That is poorly identified, too. There's a signed turnoff but down the road there's a "Y". I went right. That led to confusion and nasty flies going into my nose and eyes. I left.

Looking at the map later it appears that I should have gone LEFT at the "Y" instead of right. I have no idea what that's like.

Basically, this place has many roads that intersect and go to unknown places. I don't know why there are so many roads, circles, "Y"s, along the river, perpendicular to the river.

The BLM website isn't helpful. I called them and expected a call back but didn't get it.

I wouldn't go here without one of the people here who submitted great reviews with beautiful photos. It's not worth the confusing directions (both my Garmin RV GPS and Google Maps were wrong in different places) and ambiguity of destinations.

Such easy access off 86, so it’s the perfect pull out for a road trip. We were traveling from Colorado to Oregon and found this spot late in the evening of our 2nd day and couldn’t have been happier. We rolled in amongst the thunderstorms, which blew over just in time for a beautiful sunset. There was a little noise from the road, but once we crawled in the tent it was hard to distinguish the traffic noise from that of the river.

Very clean, lots of spots, 10 out of 10 would stay here again.

We camped in the Trout loop and had a great time here. Got here on a Friday afternoon and there were only a few spots left, so I’d recommend going earlier if you can.

We landed a spot right on the water (Snake River). The river here is calm enough to paddle board on. We spent lots of time on the water and even paddled across to some rocks and did a little cliff jumping (they aren’t too high).

There’s an outhouse and it was honestly the cleanest outhouse I’ve ever used. Super impressed with that.

It was warm this time of year and our spot was nice and shady. Would definitely recommend visiting. It’s $15/night
