  Idaho City Yurts — Idaho Parks and Recreation State Headquaters

  These Yurts are Awesome!

  I have only been to there in the winter but I imagine that hiking in is just a beautiful!   You need to bring everything but a bed and stove, which are in the yurt.  Lots of hiking or cross-country skiing in the area.

  Snake River RV Resort

  Nice park and pool.

  We stayed at Snake River RV Park in Idaho Falls, Idaho in September 2021. This park is a FHU pull-thru site and also has back-in sites. Our site was flat and level and a snap to set up our fifth wheel. It was windy and dusty during our stay. There was a nice pool and lots of grassy areas to walk our dogs. If you would like to see videos on this park and others, please visit our YouTube channel: Jeff & Steff’s Excellent Adventure.

  Cowboy Campground

  Great Location Idaho City

  This is a conveniently located campground near all the amenities of Idaho City.  Miles of forest for hiking, exploring and fishing.  Right off Highway 21, it's easy to find with ample space between campsites.  A great base camp for exploring the area.

  Boise Riverside RV Park

  Management is Nice Enough, But the Place is a Dump

  Like most (it seems) campgrounds, this place is badly in need of maintenance. When it rains, the "roads" (term used loosely) are mud puddles. Your site is too, unfortunately. Most of the park is long-term scum campers, junk all over the sites, loud trucks, loud music.

  To top it off, many of these hobos take pleasure in putting dog food bowls of duck food out, so you can count on duck crap all over the place, on your rig, on your vehicle. The constant quacking makes you think you're on an island in the river. It will drive your dog nuts too.

  The Greenbelt:

  Pretty, but VERY overcrowded. If you're looking for some peace walking by the river, forget it. Spandex wearing cycle maggots, too self-important to even bother to say "on your left" or ring a bell, come ripping up behind you, inches away, as if they despise you "being in the way". Most are wearing mirror shades so they don't have to smile at anyone.

  All in all, there are much better places to spend time in Idaho. Try Idaho Falls, or Twin Falls. Stanley and Coeur d'Alene are both gorgeous. Boise is basically California, including the the corresponding batch of jerks just like you find in California.

  Originally planned to stay here three months, left after a few weeks. Obviously, won't be returning.

  Boise Riverside RV Park

  The Perfect RV Park For Visitors to Boise, Idaho

  This RV Camping Site is AWESOME! They do allow tent camping and have cabins. They have full hookups for RV's as well. There is a lower rate for "back-ins" to the Boise River Greenbelt. They also have a higher rate for Pull Through Sites for RVs. There is so much to do in the area. Biking, hiking, walking along the Boise River. There is also some great fishing on the Boise River. This location is centered for city goers, snow skiers, white water rafters and anglers. We visited some nice restaurants within a short drive of the campgrounds. We rode our bikes along the trails, upstream and downstream. The campgrounds also rent bikes for those that don't have their own :-) You will not be disappointed with this campground if you want to get to know Boise, Idaho.

  Rivers Edge RV Park

  Beautiful!

  Traveling through Idaho and made this reservation online just an hour before arrival. Very simple to reserve. 

  We have a 38' 5th wheel pulled with a dually pickup. It was a tight fit, but after we were parked, it was awesome. We were in space #5. After unhooking, we did park the pickup across the lane in space they have for extra vehicles. Hook ups were simple. Although the sewer pipe at our site was a little high, so we had to really use risers under our drain pipe to get it to that level. Other sites seemed ground level. 

  When we left the next morning, we did have to pull out the "entrance" lane, as the angle of the space and smaller area, we couldn't turn sharp enough for the exit lane. 

  We could watch the sunset over the Snake River from out campsite. No bugs and lots of shade. Quiet campground.......except the duck hunters on other properties.  
  We didn't use the restrooms, etc. there. 

  They have very nice metal fire pits and a decent picnic table at each site. If you needed to stay in a cabin, they looked very nice. The larger one with the bathroom, was a beautiful site.  

  The price was great, especially for full hookups. I wish we could have stayed more than one night.

  We would definitely stay there again.

  Caldwell RV park amd Resort

  We pulled in after the office closed. We didn’t receive a packet, which we have become accustomed to, but we had a site map and found our camp space. We were right next to the lake #69. We had a pull through for our 40’ fifth wheel and we’re happy. Lake access is only through the tent campers sites in front of us or going around the lake through full time resident campers sites. We don’t mind because the full time residence are so kind.

  Everyone is so nice and thankful. This place is amazing. Great laundry facilities, that we have never had onsite before.

  Family and dog friendly. Great bike paths and lake fishing. 🙌🏻

  Decent quick option

  Good site for rv camping but if you're tent camping there are probably better options depending on what you're looking for. The tent sites are super close together and there is alot of highway noise. If you're looking for a quick site with amenities this is good though. It has shade and thats a huge plus.

  Friendly Private Campground on Fishing Pond, Access to Bike Path

  FEATURES:

  -Primarily an RV park, but there are grassy spots right on the fishing pond for tent campers.

  -Spots for short-term stays are pull-thrus with full hookups. A little slice of grass separates each RV.

  -WiFI was good and seemed to reach throughout the park. The fishing pond is nice to sit by and watch the ducks.

  -"The Greenbelt," a 3 mile paved path can be accessed right at the front of the campground. It crosses an old train bridge and then runs along the water.

  -The restrooms were clean, and well serviced. Really nice and bright laundry room.

  -Super friendly owners.

  Surprisingly Good

  Approx, 10-12 Grassy Tent sites, with shady trees, on a small 6 acre lake with entertaining ducks that do not beg for food. Lol. Lots of RV sites with full hook ups, including, 105 long term users. The showers and toilets were clean with lots of hot water. Laundry room with 6 washers and 6 dryers. A little road noise from l-84. 2 miles from shopping and fuel. Friendly staff. Surprisingly good, as this was our first “private” campground we’ve ever stayed at. $27.00, including tax, per day.

  Electric problems - check electric hookups before setting up

  We got one of the last spots as they were slammed with Oregon wildfire evacuees. We were grateful as we were required to be in Boise for 2 days. But when we hooked up I found the 30 amp outlet melted & broken and the 110 outlet blackened from spark damage. The office was closed but I managed to find a maintenance man to come look at the outlet He replaced the 30 amp outlet & left. Then I hooked up my surge protector and got reverse polarity warnings. I located the manager & told her I wanted to move as I won't use a faulty outlet. She agreed to refund my money & let us stay because they had no other spaces. Next day I went to the office & the lady there said they were very familiar with the reverse polarity problem. I asked about a reduced rate for the second night & she said she'd send an electrician to fix the problem that afternoon. We had no power for 2 very hot days. No electrician ever came. I was only charged one night on my CC statement but that comes to $20 night for no power.

  Avoid!

  Management was vindictive and disorganized. They pulled multiple unauthorized charges from our account claiming we exceeded the 5 mph speeding limit. When we asked for documentation or a receipt they became extremely confrontational, yelling and accusations.

  Our site was poorly maintained. We voiced concerns about some tree branches hanging over our site with branches that had clearly broken off. The water was leaking terribly and we immediately shut it off and notified them. They did not address either issues nor offer another site.

  It took me 3 weeks, multiple phone calls, physical visits to book this campground. That is how disorganized management was, even their pricing was unclear.

  Avoid this park!

  Boise Riverside RV Park

  Customer service is really bad

  We stayed at this park in Sept 2022.  We decided to make a reservation again in 2023 because the best part of this park is you are right next to the green belt.  Unfortunately, This place is run with a "like it or not, we don't care" attitude.  Toni, who runs the place, has terrible customer service skills and there is no room for negotiation.  We made a reservation on Mar 17, 2023 for 8 days in August, 5 months in advance and we cancelled on April 2, 2023, within 2 weeks of making the reservation in the first place.  We were required to pay a $300 deposit which is non-refundable.  Their non-refundable policy, is to make up for money lost because a site was tied up, but for this reservation it was tied up for only 2 weeks, so I'm pretty certain they didn't lose money.  We have tried to reach out to Toni by phone at least 10 times.  Once, we even got her husband and he promised us he would have her call us.  Nope.  Never happened.  The customer service rating is because Toni will not return a call and refuses to negotiate.  She won't give the common courtesy to work something out with her.  She really doesn't care what you think or even your side of the problem.   Not a good way to run a business. Like I said, if you ride bikes and like the greenbelt its a okay place to stay but make sure you don't put a $300 deposit down.  The entire park is gravel/dirt roads except for some lawn that a few small campspots are on.  There are lots of residents staying long term in very old and run down trailers.  Kind of junky.  Be careful if you decide to stay here and for sure don't make a reservation for more than a couple of days so you don't lose your deposit.

  Nice Spot Near the River

  Fairly quiet RV park near many of Boise’s attractions. Bath house is minimalist but always clean. Small grass area for day camp sites. A little dusty as all roads and sites are gravel/dirt.

  Centrally located and clean!

  Easy access to central Boise in a park-like setting along the greenbelt path. We rode bikes along the path, enjoyed the river, toured Boise state and downtown, and even ate dinner without ever getting in our car. Everyone at the campground was very friendly and helpful. The facilities were clean, operational, and quiet. Got a good night's sleep, felt safe at all times. Enjoyed our stay.
