Remote and remarkable, Wild Horse State Recreation Area is open year round. The reservoir near the park is a popular fishing site, with rainbow and German brown trout, small mouth bass, yellow perch and catfish awaiting able anglers. Cold winters make the lake an ideal location to ice fish and skate, or to explore on snowmobiles or skis. Extraordinary wildflowers blanket the park in the spring, and summers offer swimming, boating, camping and hiking. Although hunting is not allowed in the park, the campground is a popular base camp for hunting in the surrounding area. Wildlife includes pronghorn, mule deer and elk as well as a variety of waterfowl and upland game birds.
Camping: The campground has 34 sites with a table, shade, a fire pit and a camp pad at each. There are no hookups, but restrooms and showers are available year round. Centrally located water faucets and a dump station are available during summer months only. Pull-through sites will accommodate large RVs, and there is a stay limit of 14 days in a 30-day period.
Cabins: Situated at the south end of the park, with stunning views of Wild Horse Reservoir and the surrounding mountains, the park has three cabins available for rent year-round. Cabins feature:
A covered front deck, living room with sleeper sofa, eating area with table, chairs, mini-fridge, microwave (no cooktop or conventional oven), bathroom, heating and air conditioning. Wifi is not available and AT&T is the only cellular network that services the area.
Cabins 1 and 3 - 1 bedroom/1 bathroom (toilet and sink) plus an additional bunkroom, can accommodate up to six occupants.
Cabin 2 - 1 bedroom/1 bathroom (toilet and sink), is designated as ADA accessible, can accommodate up to four occupants.
Cabins are not equipped with showers; however a shower building is located roughly 300 yards from the cabin sites.

There are two lots (see picture). lot 1 is parking lot with hook ups. Lot 2 where we stayed, had full hook ups, though fresh water was still off from winter season. All appear to be pull thru, most with double capacity, 2 hook ups per pull thru, had nice grass and trees. Great place to spend the night. There is a dump station and fresh water far east side of lot 2.
GuideThere are actually 2 separated rv parks at this casino. The saguaro park is $5 cheaper and is basically a parking lot with hookups. The other has some trees in between parking spots. Bathrooms/ shower/ laundry well maintained.
GuideThis is a very basic RV park we stopped over on our way to Yellowstone from Reno, NV. Small, clean sites packed tight. Bathrooms and laundry were immaculate. Short walk to a small grassy park or casino for a decent dinner and check-in.
Guide
This little hot springs pool and RV park is a bit out of the way but it's generally a fun little place to go. The RV sites are small and very, very close together. Four sites shared hookups and even a fire pit. We brought our own firepan so we didn't have to fight for a pit. There is lots of shade from the mature trees.
Swimming isn't included (or discounted) in the sites and will cost you an additional $8 per swimmer or $4 if you just want to watch. They even want you to pay them to just be in the park as well as additional cars. At some point, you can't help but feel a bit nickel and dimed as they try to charge you for just about every little thing.
The swimming is fun but the pool quickly gets crowded. Most of the park is getting run-down and overall it doesn't feel very organized or regulated. There were people coming in from all directions, switching spots, and all sorts of chaos during the day and into the night. Guests were up being loud well into the 3 AM hour. We had a major moth bug problem and I heard others complaining as well... moths everywhere! We'll probably swim again sometime but probably not camp. Can't win them all I guess.
Guide
Stopped here on way south to NV because there wasn't much free camping to be found on the route. Unfortunately it was during the massive western fires and the horizon was smoky. Couldn't really see anything but smoke, scrub brush, and lots of flies. The flies were horrible. Half the campground was under construction - should be nice later. There is a dump station, which is nice. There were only 2 sites left at 4pm and the last one was taken by an RV behind me. The rest of the open CG was full of fishermen and invisible men in camo from head to toe in muddy trucks - assume hunters as Idaho allows everything to be killed in early fall for some reason. The road in was in good shape, but it's far to drive if you were to find it full - so I wouldn't try it after 4 pm in hunting season.
Guide
Nice area close to the water and just off the side of the road. Lots of other RVs
ScoutPleasantly surprised at the quality if this BLM camp ground. Each site has a concrete slab covered with a hard topped shade structure covering a picnic table and BBQ grill. Just past this there is a fire ring. Sites are well spaced and most have a tree or two. Pit toilets and surrounding areas very clean. In mid-October there were about 4-5 other tents/RVs.
Guide
I stayed here for a night while passing through. A nice free spot to camp if you’re in need near Twin Falls. Easily accessible by any car it seems like (I have a Nissan Versa) and there were camper vans and RVs there too. Picnic tables at every sight, plenty of birds flying around and I think there might be at least two beavers in the creek. I tent camped and the grass was a luxury! (Was here on a Friday so didn’t have to worry about the sprinklers, they go off every morning Monday-Thursday)
GuideThe camp area is small you can park next to a bench and sleep over night. You are allowed 7 night max. Stream runs through the site. Looks more like a day camp but overnights are ok. The 2 Biggest spots are at the end of the drive, but a small trailer would be fine. There is only 1 pit toilet located tword the entrance.
GuideOf Salmon Creek Reservior. Very well maintained campground with rain/sun shelters, fire pits, water, tables on paved pads as well as some more primitive looking sites. It's high desert, so not loads of privacy but sites are well spaced. Great boat launch and swim area. We came in May and weather went from 90 to 55 in a day, with wind. Cell and 4G service which seemed weird.
Very nice place in May, but may get super busy with water sports in summer . I'm concerned that it could be generator city when larger RVs roll in. Giving it 2 stars because the wind was viciously cold and hammered us the entire time. If that is the usual, hard for minimalist campers, fine for big rigs.
GuideSeems to be popular among fisherman. I seemed to be the only person not there to fish. Electric, water and toilets on site - no showers. T-mobile service good. No trails nearby.
TravelerI'll start off by saying the campground was really nice, and we were bummed we couldn't stay. As soon as we got out of the truck, we were swarmed with flies. So we hopped back in to find a different spot, thinking it would be different. It wasn't. There was nothing we could do to battle the flies. So we left. When we got to our next stop, we spent 60-90 minutes killing the hundreds of flies that got into our trailer. The campground seemed pleasant and well kept. It would have been nice if it wasn't for the relentless swarm of flies everywhere.

Called about 2 hours out. They had room. Great level spots. Very nice landscaping. Helpful staff. Absolutely a come again place.

Big bend campground is a nice little oasis in the high desert. It was hunting season and the road was busy, campers all over in the campground (they were very friendly and quiet) and hunters camped in the area but it was still peaceful. Very scenic camp sites and cooler than the surrounding area. No camp host, talked to a few folks that frequent the campground and commented they have never seen a ranger there. 8 bucks self pay, very reasonable price. 2 bathrooms that need attention, had my own in the camper so I didn’t mind. Water hydrants throughout but not charged, no water available. Haul out your own trash and waste water. Remote so not cell service or WiFI. Great base camp to explore the surrounding public land. 11 miles of good dirt road to access it. A nice base camp to go visit Jarbidge, a must visit!
LegendExcellent free place to stop over for a night or two. It doesn't really have a campground feel or setup, but rather it's a park that allows overnight camping for 7 nights.
Tents are ok but not allowed to stay on the grass during the week, because the sprinklers are on all night long (and will also spray your vehicle if you park along the grass). There aren't any designated or numbered camp spots, but it seems that each picnic bench and grill sort of counts as an individual spot. But I'd say if you have a small vehicle and all the "spots" are taken it would be fine to just squeeze in somewhere for the night.
No cell service down here. There are trash bins and a pit toilet. Nice river running through and a lot of people come here for the day to fish and picnic. There's also a little playground for kids.
Easy access for medium-ish RVs, not sure if I'd attempt to bring something huge down here. The park is a long road with a small turnaround area at the end but when we were there a big class A was blocking a lot of the turnaround area (because they didn't parallel park at the site and pulled in straight instead). Also a lot of low hanging branches scraped as we drove through, so something taller or bigger might have issues.

20 miles of dirt road road puts you fairly remote. If you don’t mind a few washboards for a $2 a night stay it is well worth the travel. Past an old homestead that was over a hundred years old, not far from 12 mile hot springs and the Jarbidge Wilderness. Great trails leaving camp where you could hike and use ATVs all day without running out of country to explore. Campground was quiet and had only 1 other group camped up higher. Lower spots have willows, upper spots have a few aspens with all spots right next to a creek that was running in late summer that you can hear running from your camp. Green, mowed grass which was nice. Tables could use a refinish and one site actually had a table in the creek. Did not go in any of the three bathrooms stretched along the creek but I would guess they could use some TLC due to the lack of management presence. No fires were allowed in the fire pits due to fire season but it had rained for 2 nights and no one from the BLM had changed the restriction. No cell phone service. No WiFi. Pack out you own trash and waste water. No water available. For $2 a night with endless country to explore it isn’t bad at all.
LegendThe road here is paved with some spots gravel. A little bumpy on the way in but not rutted, we have a 28 foot truck camper. Very easy to drive on. We rode our bikes down to the docks and the water was very low so, a lot of bugs and algae IN the water. We heard coyotes screaming every night (which was amazing!) The view is absolutely breathtaking. Locks on the electric sites, no showers and one of the toilet huts were closed off (closest to the lake). There is no wood here or for sale here so be sure to bring your own. It got a little breezy each day but calmed down at night. Very hot during the day and very COOL at night. Great sleeping weather! We also seen a cat roaming around and it woke me up around 3am crying at my window. Very clean and if it wasn’t for the flies (so many flies. more than i’ve ever seen in my life..) and having to pay a new fee i would have given it 5 stars.
TravelerThis was the best find of our trip from San Francisco to Yellowstone. It’s a little off the beaten path and seemingly in the middle of nowhere.
Room for about 12-15 camping sites, many having fire pits, a few with tables. All are along a grassy area and river front.
We showed up at 4pm on a Saturday and found a spot for our 30’ RV. It seems like it’s heavily used during the days but most clear out around sunset.
We were able to fish, kayak, hike, have a killer campfire, and check out the stars. Great, free river front camping.
LegendIt is a long drive from Twin Falls to get to this park, so you’d better hope there is space when you get here! It was full when we arrived, but we would definitely come back at a less busy time. Primitive camping right on the water (bugs could be a problem) and most of the camping was in tents (although it was posted that tents are not allowed Monday through Thursday), however, you could park your van/RV alongside the water. I only saw pit toilets and they were reasonably clean (others mention bathrooms which to me mean flush toilets but maybe I missed them). Note that THE Balanced Rock is about a mile down the road from the campground.
ScoutI didn't want to leave but we were running out of previsions. However before we left I hit a rather large root in the pathway and popped a tire. It is all dirt roads. I had to change a tire on a soft dirt road, it was almost impossible. We caught some sprinkles, which was awesome to escape the Las Vegas heat. The hike at sawmill was great. Not to hard. We made it to a peak. Seen horse's, lizards rabbits, and preying mantis. No amenities or water source. There is no fires allowed, stoves ok. There is a picnic area at sawmill trailhead with tables, grills and bathrooms. A few minutes walk or about 1 minute drive. I will be back. It is first come first serve there are no fees except gas and maybe a tire.
TravelerCampground was pretty clean and easily accessible. Close-ish to Wild Horse for fishing or boating. Nice views on the drive in. Nice and shady spots! Will come back for sure.
ScoutI went there with my family and it was great. The only thing was if you do not go as far in you are bound to see more people.
GuideWow! What a campground. I love this excellent campground location.
Guide
SO MANY CRICKETS! I paid before finding my campground and was unaware at how many crickets flooded the area. It looked like the ground was moving. It was 10$ a night so not a huge loss. Beautiful area with covered picnic tables and a great view of the water. Probably won’t be back. Woulda been an awesome spot if weren’t for the massive amount of crickets.
RangerGreat camp site next to reservoir. Campsites have tables and fire rings. Vault toilets and hand pump is also available nearby. Spent some time fishing here too.
Scout
Very clean, nice bathrooms, flat spots. Amazing fishing
TravelerVery clean sites, I watched the camp host pull in right after someone left and make sure it was clean and the sand was raked for the next guest. Camp host stopped and talked with us, very friendly, ready to share his fishing tips. Clean bathrooms with sinks and the bathroom on the southern loop had showers! Water hydrants everywhere, with great tasting water. Easy pull through spots. Nice tables with shelter over it, fire ring, nice sandy camp area and trees planted to shade the each site. Popular campground, stayed full and people do like their generators which we did here a lot of. Good cell service with AT&T. No WiFi. Trash dumpster at the ranger station. Boat ramp with ample parking. Sanitary dumps with water if you need to refill your fresh tank or to use the spray in the black tank.
