Not sure if this page is the actual spot where the Yurts are but I have to say if you haven't stayed in one, your missing out on a wonderful experience.
LegendI 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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

Thoroughly enjoyed camping in this area. Amazingly enough, we didn't run into a whole lot of other people while camping, only in the actual town. Getting there is interesting down a winding dirt road, but worth the trip to find all the trees in the middle of a desert. The landscape is this breathtaking mix of trees and rock formations and sagebrush. We hiked all over and climbed on the rocks. Had a good time getting coffee in town in the morning.
TravelerFree campsites right on the edge of town next to creek. The ride up is worth it!
GuideI would go back if I'm ever here again. The drive back there takes a little while and the roads are narrow. Cows all over the town. The historical buildings date back to the 1890's and earlier. I talked to a local and he said the town is on a historical register. Feels like I took a time machine back to the old west. Check out the cemetery and the mine shafts behind the church. All the streets are public land so you can wander around, just don't stare into people's windows. Hard to believe people live there. People stay there as a summer cabin thing. The camping is not secluded at all. Lots of cows in town. There may be poop at your campsite. I didn't drink the creek water. I don't know if it's safe, so but err'd on the side of caution due to the towns mining history.
TravelerBasic hookups and all amenities are close or on site
ScoutA very pleasant and smooth experience. Grounds are very well kept.
GuideThis place has beautiful green grass, next to the river. The bathroom and showers are very nice. It was a little loud next to the Homedale Airport and a lumber mill. The employees are super nice.
ScoutGreat staff, construction near river takes away from nature
LegendWhat a wonderful place to stay. Spent 9 delightful days sitting under the trees or out by the river. The grounds are well kept and the grass is GREEN! They water just about, if not, every day! Dave, Gary and the other staff members take pride in what they do and how they want the park to look. It is a GEM! Yea, there's not much to do in Homedale but why would you need to go anywhere. It is such a treat to just hang out there and enjoy the serenity. You can go fishing on the Snake River. I caught 10 small mouth Bass, couple were keepers! There's plenty of catfish, trout and, if you get lucky, Salmon. Go and enjoy! We did!
Travelerwhen the weather warms up in the spring this is a great place to catch channel catfish in the shallows. I live in Caldwell and take my motor home here occasionally just for the quiet serenity. and the fishing, is not bad at all (in the spring) if you're just looking for some nice quiet peaceful time down by the river they will let you pull your motor home right down there close. fairly close anyway. I recommend it.
ScoutIt was nice and warm
RangerNice and clean. Easy to warm up. Some games lots of beds. Firewood included in purchase of renting. One time I went I miss read the reservation date and got kicked out by another group. So we had to hike down in a snow storm. It was still fun.

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.
TravelerWe 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. 🙌🏻
ScoutEveryone around us was residential. Not very attractive. Dog potty area absolutely filthy with poop, no grass anywhere all dirt.
LegendFEATURES:
-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.
ScoutHas come a long ways in the last 10 years. Could still be part of the solution that part of the problem.
GuideApprox, 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.
GuideClean facilities.. , need a code to use them, Roads are dusty, if people would drive slow it would e nicer, Busy place, this is a flat rate place. No discounts but same price depending on length or stay, back i to river view spot, fishing if your up to it, have tent sites by the lake, staff is nice, very busy.. they have grass that is more grass than weeds..
GuideA lot of resident long term camping here. Not my favorite.
TravelerOther than WiFi sucks, 5G on Verizon 😃 Nice Laundry open 24hrs. They remembered us from 5 yrs ago. Dog friendly
GuideManagement 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!
