"This is a State Park with beautiful landscaping and walking trails. There are plenty of RV and tent sites. The lake is absolutely beautiful with views of mountains in the distance."
"Cooled off during the hot days swimming in private spots on the lake. Water and electric hook ups, fire ring and picnic tables."
"Sites are intermixed with RV and tents, but I’d say your best bet is trailer or RV or even renting one of the cabins there as the sites are within earshot of the highway."
"Bathrooms and showers were very clean. You definitely want a lower loop site to get away from the freeway noise, plus you will have more shade during peak summer heat."
"Road noise is minimal depending on where you are in the RV park. Love the amenities for everyone (playground, dog parks, pool, mini golf, etc)."
"They had lots of social areas around and lots of variety between RVs, tent sites, and cabins but the tent camping sites were pretty tightly packed together."
from $63 - $105 / night

Check Availability"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"
"May 9-13, 2019 Nice park. Site 16 had electric and water. Very clean PRIVATE showers. Verizon 3G was poor. Elevation 5,567. No TV service through antenna. Very nice hike."
"The campsite was convenient for us because it was close to the freeway. On the flip side that comes with vehicle traffic noise. There were places for both RV’s/campers and tents."
"Cons: Sites are small and very crammed together, no privacy and it is right off the freeway so you hear a lot of traffic depending on your site."
LegendI have really enjoyed my one night stop here. Go to the lower campground so that you stay away from the noise of the road. But if you're a trail person and a view person, this is by far the nicest state park so far. Unfortunately I camped in the upper campground. The water was on, but the bathrooms were closed. The lower bathrooms were still open. But they're old and not well maintained.
GuideBeautiful sites, electric and water. Bathrooms and showers adequate. Simply crazy noisy during our stay. It was like camping in an elementary and middle school playground. Decent multi use trail on site. Great hiking and climbing nearby. No information offered regarding trails do depended on AllTrails.
TravelerThe camp manager is super nice and helpful. Bathrooms and laundry are very clean and functional
RangerI wish e could stay another night but we have to move on. This place is beautiful, peaceful,clean has great views of the lake, and has water and electricity!! Ot doesn’t get any better!
GuideThis KOA was a perfect midway stop from Colorado to Southern Washington/Portland area. If ur complaining it’s bc u stayed 2 nights, no offense to this place but it’s really a one night in and out to travel elsewhere. Not much to do around other than twin falls. But on the camping side of the review, we had a tent set up and also a car camping set up and even though the tent spots are a little close to each other, it was perfectly fine. They do have fire pits at each and everything else u need is in the amazing shop. The staff was absolutely wonderful and kind. The pool was open till like 10 o’clock same with the shop. The ice cream is outstanding. Bathrooms were actually really nice and only one was closed for renovation, the rest all have nice showers and are quite large individual bathrooms (I think around 6-8 total) There is lots to do within the RV park as well as outside the RV park in Twin Falls, they even have a mini putt and outdoor games. Loved it for one night, wouldn’t stay longer lol. 10/10
TravelerThe staff was friendly and welcoming. However, the campground itself had some drawbacks. The truck traffic was constant, and the noise from engine brakes made it quite annoying. The restroom facilities were also limited, with only three toilet/shower combination bathrooms for the entire campground, which often meant waiting during busy times. We have never stayed at a park with that type of bathroom situation.
LegendAs always the KOA staff was very nice and helpful. Unfortunately this KOA Holiday campground really doesn't quite live up to the standards of what one should expect to see at one at a Holiday site.
While this campsite has all the traditional holiday amenities such as a pool miniature golf a playground for the kids sites for dogs private patio sites etc the overall maintenance is just okay. The site really could use some significant TLC.
Please see attached video and photos for more details. After all a picture is easily worth a thousand words.
RangerEasy on/off the interstate, great views, camping with Snake River views. Clean and updated restrooms, trails and a disc golf course (maybe next time… if there is a next time…)
BUT, after paying a bit more than I like to for a state park, a $10 fee for registration online (you can’t pay in person and avoid it), a $7 fee for vehicle entry (even though we paid $52 for camping) I had the pleasure of paying $10 to dump (yes, registered campers must pay to dump). In 40 years of camping, I’ve never had to pay to dump at a campsite I had already paid for. If this is how Idaho is doing all state parks… I don’t think we’ll be exploring.
New tables, good fire rings, friendly hosts, up to you if it’s worth it.
GuideIt's a nice enough place, lots to explore, clean restrooms and showers. Has water electricity and a dump station But, the noise from the interstate is a little to much for me... people in the visitors station are very friendly and informative..

Disc golf course access: Castle Rocks State Park features an on-site disc golf course within the Smoky Mountain Campground area. "This campground is near hiking and rock climbing and has a disc golf course within. We enjoyed the hike/walk out to the Oregon Trail wagon ruts," notes a visitor at Smoky Mountain Campground — Castle Rocks State Park.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Lake Walcott State Park serves as a wildlife refuge with frequent animal sightings. "The park is a wild life refuge so we saw Deer and Racoons at night. We kept all food items in out car to avoid issues," reports a camper. Another visitor at Lake Walcott State Park Campground shares, "The deer tend to come in in the early evening hours to enjoy the park too and are not very spooked by people."
Fishing access points: Multiple cabin locations provide direct water access for fishing. "Amazing campground and beautiful views. Hardly anyone here! Great fishing in the Snake River," reports a visitor at Massacre Rocks State Park. Water levels can fluctuate seasonally, affecting fishing conditions.
Spacious, private cabin sites: Many campers appreciate the separation between accommodations. A visitor at Smoky Mountain Campground — Castle Rocks State Park notes, "The sites are HUGE and really offer a great deal of privacy and seclusion." Another adds, "All sites were quite nice, many pull-through, and most with shade and lots of privacy."
Dark sky stargazing: Cabins outside major towns provide exceptional night viewing. "We went to bed early and opened the blinds on the front stargazing window of our Lance. The view was breathtaking! It was such a clear night (and so dark in the campground) that we could see hundreds of stars," shares a camper.
Waterfront access: Several cabin locations offer direct water views or access. A camper at Anderson Camp RV Park states, "There were places for both RV's/campers and tents. The place was clean, well kept up and had tons of amenities including flushing toilets, showers, laundry, 2 playgrounds and a pool." At Lake Walcott, a visitor mentions, "We stayed in space #13 with a lake view. The space had its own bbq grill, fire pit, picnic table and full hook ups."
Seasonal insect considerations: Several cabin locations report varying levels of insect activity. At Lake Walcott, a visitor cautions, "This is not the place for those with Insect phobias. There were non stinging flying insects all up in our face and flying up our nose." Another camper adds, "Just be prepared for lots of spiders in July, also this last time coming through we were struggling with chiggers."
Water level fluctuations: Reservoirs and lakes in the region experience significant water level changes. A visitor at Willow Bay Resort reports, "We stopped her in October and the water level was extremely low. The boats were dry docked and could not access the marina."
Highway noise at some locations: Cabins near major roads may experience traffic sounds. A camper notes, "It is right off the highway so you hear a lot of traffic depending on your site." Some locations use natural barriers to reduce noise impact.
Water recreation options: Multiple cabin locations offer swimming and boating access.

Hookup considerations: Several cabin areas share facilities with RV sections. A camper at Lake Walcott notes, "The only real problem is the lack of a sink for tent campers - we couldn't wash our dishes after meals. There is water but it's for the RV sites so bring water to drink and a camp sink for the washing up."
Seasonal limitations: Some facilities operate differently in off-peak months. "The park is beautiful, and the sites are well-maintained. But we were disappointed to find that all the water and restroom facilities were closed during the winter," reports a visitor at Smoky Mountain Campground.

"This campground is 40 miles or so from the interstate so make sure you are well provisioned before you arrive," advises an RVer staying at Smoky Mountain Campground.
