"Mountain Home RV Resort is a picturesque park with over 280 spots split between a more established shaded spots and newer less shaded area."
"Propane is a reasonable price ($2.70/gal as of 3/21). One awesome discovery I made this time around was a trailhead that starts behind Walmart and extends for about 2.5 miles towards Legacy Park."
"We were in the newer CG a little further up the road in pull-through site 26 with FHUs."
"Water and electric hook-ups were in good shape, with a dump site on the way out. Liked the ability to just pull-through the space."
$30 - $70 / night
"Just in a few months this place has made some very nice improvements and still has amazing views surrounding the camp ground."
"A membership RV camp 23 miles north of Mountain Home, Idaho. An oasis of trees in the middle of sage brush on the middle of nowhere. Located just inside Boise National Forest."
$20 - $40 / night
"Park right next to your tent.
The bathrooms are locked for paying campers only and have a sink, shower and toilet. Very clean and nice."
"The camp spots have fire rings.
I get a tent spot for my rooftop tent and they have flushing toilets, showers, kitchen and laundry onsite.
Well worth the $15 rate!"
$25 - $175 / night
"Fort Running Bear RV Park, Idaho
If you like the middle of nowhere, you will like Fort Running Bear RV Park. It is approximately 32 miles to the middle of nowhere, the last three are on a dirt road."
"Facilities are clean and nice. The small pool was great for the kiddos. We tent camped and where lucky to get the pick of the spots. The tent area has two covered areas with power."
$53 - $95 / night
"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."
"The park is clean and the facilities are nice. Most sites are gravel pull through with a concrete pad. They tell you that there’s limited access to Wifi. We couldn’t even connect."
"There are many full-time RV residents here. There are also spots for short stays. There are picnic tables interspersed through out the park with small grassy areas between parking spots."
"Friendly staff, decent sites but the location is ehhh, not great but not horrible. Not easy to get to either but overall it’s decent enough for an overnight"
"Nestled in the small town of Mountain Home, Idaho, it's a great park for overnight or longer. There are a couple of drawbacks, but the amenities outweigh any. "
ScoutMountain Home RV Resort is a picturesque park with over 280 spots split between a more established shaded spots and newer less shaded area. There are many long term residents yet given the number of available spots this does not present a problem. Shower and laundry facilities are plentiful and clean. There is no charge to use the shower and the cost of washers and driers is nominal. I would defiantly stay here again.

This is our second stay here since new ownership. First trip was June 2022 and October 2922. Both trips we had an awesome time. Just in a few months this place has made some very nice improvements and still has amazing views surrounding the camp ground. After staying a few places in the area over this past summer, Trinity View Resort for us is our top pic and will be spending a lot more time here in the future. Both trips we had our E-Bikes and took some amazing rides through the valleys and mountains and still haven't explored all the areas available here.
Cell service is good here. We have Verizon hot spot that worked perfectly and AT&T cell phones have good signal as well,
There are different options for all kinds of campers from, Full hook ups ( Big rig friendly) to tent camping. On site RV rentals and cabins are also available.
Lots of fun stuff to do here for the whole family or even groups.
The people here are friendly and respectful to other campers as well as super friendly staff and owners. Very friendly to work with and communication with changes if need depending availability.
This resort is well on its way to be one of the best camp resorts in this area. Well worth the trip for sure.
LegendThese grounds are truly tiny. There are several spaces occupied by long term residents and others have visitors like us who are just passing through. The grounds themselves are well-kept with lots of mature trees around the sites providing shade and large shrubs and fences ensuring privacy from the outside.
The park has easy entry on N 18th, the park roads are quite wide and navigable and there’s an exit gate just on the other side. While the park accommodates large trailers, I believe all spots are back-in and there’s a couple tricky areas that would be best suited for small trailers. For $40, the price is reasonable for a level pad and full hookups. It’s very quiet, situated off the main road across from a cemetery and a funeral home. It’s a really great option if you want to pay a bit less than the large park down the street and be around far fewer other RVers!
LegendUPDATED 2021: This place continues to provide excellent service and clean, spacious sites. Propane is a reasonable price ($2.70/gal as of 3/21). One awesome discovery I made this time around was a trailhead that starts behind Walmart and extends for about 2.5 miles towards Legacy Park. If you’re a runner or walker... give it a shot!
Everything about this RV Park is well-planned and fluid. From the arrival greeting to the spaces themselves, the facilities and the landscaping... it’s all warm and welcoming. They take great care of this park. The spaces are level, the grass between spots is large and manicured, and all the facilities are clean. We didn’t use the restrooms or showers but were told they’re in excellent condition. The sites are very easy to access and the picnic benches are spotless... which is borderline weird. There is a dog run, heated pool and spa, laundry, tetherball and more. Mountain Home RV Park is about 1 hour from Twin Falls and 45 min from Boise. In between both cities are tons of opportunity for outdoor adventure. Less than a mile from you RV spot is a Walmart and a Pilot station. They have propane refilling on site at the park. We would have stayed here for a month if we had the time. We will definitely return.
TravelerSeveral sites along reservoir with camping literally on the water's edge. Out of probably a dozen sites, most are rv friendly, even a couple of sites for big rigs. This campground is a utility operated natural area by Idaho Power and very well maintained. Fishing, kayaking and bird watching abounds. Very quiet, has the cleanest pit toilets I've ever seen (there's 3), fire pit rings, boat launch and excellent verizon cell service. Paved road through pristine farmland to the gravel road entrance about 3 miles beyond the small community of Bruneau. 5 stars.
LegendThis 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.
GuideWe really liked this campground! First, the sites are nicely paved and level, and have full hookups which make an extended stay really nice. There is a picnic table and fire ring for having an enjoyable outdoor experience. there is a huge grass open area adjacent to the site which is nice for outdoor sports.
There is a hiking trail at the edge of the campground which takes you to a nearby winery for a flight of wine and some good food. Very nice for the adults! There is also a path that takes you to a park down at the river which is nice for the kids, and our boys loved the disc golf course. It is huge with 18 holes, but the front 9 are the best, as the back nine have a lot of cheat grass and bushes to lose your disc in.
Nearby there is also a museum about the Oregon trail and how the Three Island Crossing area was used by the settlers... Very interesting place!
Overall we had a great Memorial Day long Weekend.
GuideThis campground has its pros and cons, depending on what kind of camping you like to do.
If you have a camp trailer, toy hauler or RV, this campground is definitely more designed for that type of crowd. When my wife and I visited during Labor Day weekend this year, we were the ONLY tent campers and we were downright miserable. All sites are gravel driveways so great for trailer campers, not great for tents. But each site does have a picnic table and fire pit with grate.
For starters, there’s very little shade. There are trees in a number of the reservable spots and the shade in those spots is pretty good throughout the day. But if you reserve a spot that is not near shade, you will cook. If you want/need shade, look at site #4, this one pretty much has shade the whole day.
As for closeness to your neighbors, it depends on which site you reserved. The ones closest to the water felt shoulder to shoulder but you do have immediate water access. Those furthest from the water were more spread out and didn’t feel like you were on top of each other.
There is potable water in this campground and it tastes good enough to drink. There are quite a few spigots throughout. However, watch out for bugs! We didn’t have much problems with mosquitoes but the flies were EVERYWHERE! I’m not sure if we just happened to be there during a bad weekend but we could not escape them in two and half days. No matter how many citronella candles we lit or how much bug spray we put on, the flies were beyond annoying. Had we been able to light campfires, the bugs might not have been as bad but because of wildfire threat, campfires were prohibited.
The restrooms were ok. Clean for the most part but nothing exiting. Vault toilets. There are also dumpsters for trash.
As for cell service, it was spotty at best, depending on your carrier. We are on T-Mobile and we had one bar, sometimes two but more often than not, we had no service. But if you have Verizon or AT&T, you will probably have better luck.
The camp host does a few laps around the campground but we didn’t speak to them.
If you bring dogs, make sure they are on their leash at all times. We brought our dogs and made sure they were leashed and there are signs EVERYWHERE saying “leash your dogs” but some people with other dogs didn’t think that rule applied to them.
As for things to do, this campground is right on the Bruneau arm of CJ Strike so having a boat is basically a necessity. Whether that’s water skiing, wakeboarding, fishing or any other type of watersports.
However, if you DO NOT have a boat, are not into water sports and not into fishing, skip this campground. There are no hiking trails or really anything else to do. There is NO swimming area at this campground. This is basically a parking spot close to the water. There is a marina and boat trailer parking separate from the sites, so you have plenty of room if you are bringing a boat and RV. Near the marina is a fishing dock with pole holders that’s pretty nice as well. But if you come here with kids and you don’t have a boat, be prepared for a lot of “I’m bored!”
Bird watchers will have a good variety of birds to look at. We saw falcons, Kildare and a few cranes. But for those hoping for a free airshow, courtesy of Mountain Home AFB, you are out of luck. I was hoping that being directly south of the AFB, we would see/hear some of the jets fly over but we didn’t see or hear one the entire weekend we were here. That’s not the fault of the campground though but it would have been nice to have SOMETHING to look at instead of just cooking in the sun.
Essentially great for boaters and fishing. Literally nothing else.
GuideThe park is clean and the facilities are nice. Most sites are gravel pull through with a concrete pad. They tell you that there’s limited access to Wifi. We couldn’t even connect.
