What to do
River activities: Snake River access from Rivers Edge RV Park provides opportunities for water recreation. "I enjoyed the fact that you can kayak from the camp area on the Snake River, and within just a couple miles, you officially kayaked to Oregon," notes one camper who appreciated the interstate paddling experience.
Wine tasting: Local vineyards within driving distance offer day trip options. A Rivers Edge visitor reports, "We found a local vineyard that is a pleasure to visit. Good food, good wine and a great view of the vineyard while eating."
Swimming: Warm water options available at multiple locations. One camper at Rivers Edge was particularly impressed with water temperatures: "The water was so warm I swam at midnight! That's 5 stars."
Greenbelt biking: Boise access from Boise Riverside RV Park connects to extensive paved trails. "We rode bikes along the path, enjoyed the river, toured Boise state and downtown, and even ate dinner without ever getting in our car," explains one visitor who appreciated the car-free experience.
What campers like
Hot springs: Natural mineral pools at Given's Hot Springs provide therapeutic soaking options. According to one visitor, "The pool is clean and healing," while another notes, "The indoor pool is great. It's as warm as a bathtub, but still cool enough that you don't overheat in 15 minutes."
Fishing access: Riverbank locations attract anglers. Rivers Edge receives praise for "excellent catfishing" opportunities directly from the property.
Scenic drives: Agricultural landscapes showcase local farming. One camper described the approach to Rivers Edge as "gorgeous! Rolling hills, rich farm land, grape vines 20ft high. At sunset it was magical."
Pet-friendly cabins: Dog accommodations vary by location. At Country Corners Campground, one visitor noted the entire facility is "pet friendly" making it suitable for travelers with animals.
What you should know
Cabin furnishings: Varied quality across different properties. One recent visitor to Rivers Edge warned, "The cabin door you could not lock and the bathroom was unbelievably dirty. The shower was more like a drip."
Reservation requirements: Seasonal variations affect availability. A Country Corners camper arrived "without a reservation and all surrounding parks were packed to capacity. They were also full but since we only needed electricity they had us share the hook up with another camper."
Water situation: Mixed options for drinking and usage. At Given's Hot Springs, "The only water available comes from the hot spring, so you have to take cold water to mix it, or wait for it to cool before drinking."
Facility conditions: Maintenance issues reported at some locations. "The facilities are VERY outdated, but still functional," noted one camper about Given's Hot Springs.
Tips for camping with families
Basketball courts: Activity options for children at some parks. A Rivers Edge camper mentioned, "Super skeptical driving in and then you arrive and it was perfect. Quiet grounds overall, little basketball court my little guy was stoked about and the river highlighted the views."
Swimming safety: Water levels vary seasonally. At McCormack Campground, one visitor noted, "The water level was low but still plenty for a swim. There were several fishing water skiing boats on the lake."
Medical access: Limited services in immediate area. One camper at Given's Hot Springs points out that "this campground is roughly 40 miles from the nearest medical facilities and there is NO cell phone reception," an important consideration for families with young children or medical needs.
Wildlife viewing: Small game regularly visible. Country Corners Campground hosts frequent wildlife sightings as "quail abound here, fun to watch," according to one visitor.
Tips from RVers
Road access: Challenging approaches to some campgrounds. For Indian Creek Campground visitors, "The 'fun' starts at the dam with the most challenging portion being after the turn-off for the first CG, McCormack CG, which has sites with 30 AMP and water."
Site layout: Hookup locations can be problematic. At Sunny Ridge RV Park, "The sites are confusing. We had site 17, but the water was so far I needed 2 hoses. The electric hook up was too far for my power cord, and I couldn't reach the sewer hookups either."
Internet connectivity: Variable service throughout region. Sunny Ridge provides "good wifi" according to visitors, while many locations have limited or no cellular reception.
