Tips from RVers
Site dimensions: Most RV campgrounds near Marsing accommodate larger rigs, though site spacing varies. "Huge pull-thru sites on level river rock pads. Directly beside the rock pad is a wide concrete patio area followed by another wide grassy area. Tons of room to set-up and relax outside," describes a visitor to Ambassador RV Resort.
Utility reliability: Electrical service quality varies between parks. "The front 1/3 of the park is mainly for overnight/weekly guests. The rest is for monthly guests. Cell service (AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile) is pretty bad at most of this park," reports a camper at Abundant Life RV Park, providing important connectivity information.
Reservation requirements: Advance planning is recommended, especially during summer months. "This is our 2nd time here. It's not ideal if you want true camping but for an RV Park, it's top notch. Everything is so well maintained from the grounds to the pools to the laundry room and bathrooms & showers," notes a visitor to KOA Boise Meridian RV Resort.
