    Smoky Mountain Campground — Castle Rocks State Park

    Beautiful location on the edge of City of Rocks National Preserve

    The relationship between City of Rocks National Preserve and Castle Rocks State Park is still not clear to me as this campground appears on the National Park Service website, although it is an Idaho State Park. That said, the park rangers seem to work cooperatively. This campground is delightful. 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 my campervan.  I believe the walking distance to the reserve could be shorter by taking any of the hiking trails from the campgrounds rather than going along the paved roads which first go away from the City of Rocks then back up again, making a big "U". 

    During my one-night stay in February, water, showers and bathrooms in the campground were closed for the winter season. A very clean, pit toilet is located in the equestrian parking lot across from the campground entrance. The distance from the campsites to the bathroom will vary from quite close to about 1/4 mile max. And during the winter season, there won't be much competition for the spaces close to the bathroom, as I was the sole user during my time there. 

    In addition to the breathtaking views, the sites offer privacy from 3 sides though all face the loop access road. There are picnic tables, fire rings and electrical power. I did not note if water was available as it would have been shut off in February in any event.  There is a dump station about 1 mile down the road toward the exit. I do not know if it is open in the winter.

    Check-in during the off-season is accomplished by envelope collected at the entrance or directly to the ranger who came by in the morning to check-in. The rate was $27 per night. Definitely worth the money to stay in this tranquil campground so close to the magnificent City of Rocks.

    Lake Walcott State Park Campground

    Waterfront Campsite

    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. We stayed in space #13 with a lake view. The space had its own bbq grill, fire pit, picnic table and full hook ups. The park was about 1/3 full and quiet. We definitely want to go back. We highly recommend, especially if you want to include boating or fishing.

    Lake Walcott State Park Campground

    Perfect place to beat the heat

    Nice capacious campground on a beautiful reservoir. Cooled off during the hot days swimming in private spots on the lake. Water and electric hook ups, fire ring and picnic tables. There was no shade in our site but the ones closer to the lake had some trees

    Hagerman RV Village

    Great hidden gem!

    This campground is quiet, shady and pleasant. Very well maintained, laundry is cheap, $3, and just a joy to be outside. We spent our time around the picnic table, despite 98°temps. Hiked Box Canyon and swam, visited the Fossil Bed NM, and drove to Twin Falls for more swimming, shopping, movie and skating.

    1000 Springs Resort

    nice spot, weird amenities

    i loved my campsite on the water….got afternoon shade. nice wifi signal. i am surprised that they don’t offer showers or running water, since it is available in abundance. i think it is silly that you have to pay extra for the pool. this place is great but overpriced

    Twin Falls-Jerome KOA

    Quiet but close quarters

    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). Full hook ups available. $45 w/KOA membership (10% off), pull-through, full hook-ups. Would stay again. Very friendly and helpful family who run it. Only downside is shared pull-throughs: Literally looking in the window of our neighbors on driver’s side. There are cabins here.

    Twin Falls-Jerome KOA

    KOA Tent Camping

    This is probably one of the fanciest camping sites I’ve ever been too. Definitely not as “in nature” as I’m used to but still a really cool experience. I paid 38 for one night for me and my 2 dogs. 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. I like to sit out and read with my lanterns by the fire once the sun goes down and I ended up having to move into my tent to read because the site next to me was too bright from my lanterns and I felt bad. Other than that, they had an adorable gift shop and frozen yogurt night was happening during my visit. There are bathrooms with showers available. And a store to purchase anything and everything you may need from shampoo to firewood to food to cook as well as souvenirs. All together great experience and I would definitely camp again!

Guide to Murtaugh

Cabin camping near Murtaugh, Idaho provides access to diverse landscapes along the Snake River Canyon, with elevations ranging from 3,500 to 4,200 feet throughout the surrounding area. Summer temperatures typically range from 85-95°F during day and 55-65°F at night, with limited rainfall creating dry camping conditions. Most cabin locations require reservations 2-6 months in advance during peak season.

What to do

Fossil exploration: At Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument, campers can explore prehistoric history. "Close to several things to do, hotsprings, historical sites, fossil beds, and the town which had a few restaurants," notes a visitor at Hagerman RV Village.

Waterfront activities: Snake River access provides multiple recreation options. At Lake Walcott State Park Campground, one camper shared, "The lake is absolutely beautiful with views of mountains in the distance. We stayed in space #13 with a lake view. The space had its own bbq grill, fire pit, picnic table and full hook ups."

Hot springs soaking: Natural thermal waters offer relaxation options year-round. "The hot springs are great," notes a visitor to Miracle Hot Springs, describing the unique facilities available for day use even during winter months when camping may be limited.

What campers like

Diverse accommodation options: Twin Falls-Jerome KOA provides various lodging styles. "There are lots of social areas around and lots of variety between RVs, tent sites, and cabins," mentions one camper who continues, "They had an adorable gift shop and frozen yogurt night was happening during my visit."

Family activities: Anderson Camp RV Park offers extensive recreation options. "Lots to do for young children with a large playground, two shallow (2-3ft?) small outdoor pools, one with a water slide, putt putt golf, and snack bar," reports a visitor, adding "It's a short 15ish minute drive to Shoshone falls and Dierkes Park which is also a nice perk."

Wildlife viewing: Several locations provide natural habitat observation. "The deer tend to come in in the early evening hours to enjoy the park too and are not very spooked by people," explains a Lake Walcott visitor, noting the additional wildlife viewing opportunities at the dam overflow area.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Spring and fall offer more availability and fewer crowds. "We stayed here the end of September. Our Garmin RV GPS and Google Maps had us exit earlier than exit 216 off of Interstate 84 coming from the NE. The emailed state park instructions have you get off at exit 216," shares a Lake Walcott visitor.

Utility availability: Services vary significantly by location. A camper at Castle Rocks State Park noted, "Water not yet turned on in the campground so bring your own water if you are coming through early in the season."

Internet access: Connectivity is unreliable throughout the region. "No wifi or cell coverage (T-Mobile or AT&T), so plan accordingly!" advises a Miracle Hot Springs visitor, while another camper at Anderson Camp reported, "Kind of wish they had informed me prior to making it that they had no WiFi."

Tips for camping with families

Pool amenities: Some locations feature swimming options with varying costs. "The pool is great but a bit chilly for my liking of a hot spring with no hot tub to relax unless you pay for the private rooms," explains a 1000 Springs Resort visitor.

Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some campgrounds. "Noise from the highway was not a problem. The bathrooms were clean and satisfactory," reports an Anderson Camp tent camper, though experiences vary depending on specific site location.

Playground access: Recreation areas for children require planning. "Kids love all the games mini golf, gaga ball and toys. We enjoyed the wildlife and hearing and seeing a huge owl outside our camp was a great touch," notes a Twin Falls-Jerome KOA visitor.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: Rustic Edge RV Park offers well-maintained spots with unique features. "The sites are well kept and level. They have grass and gravel on the sites. The pond and lazy river were a hit with the kids," shares a visitor.

Utility hookups: Electrical service varies by location. "We had a large pull-thru site with water, sewer, and electric that accommodated our fifth wheel and dually Ram with no problems," explains a Hagerman RV Village visitor who adds, "Be forewarned that this park is green and beautiful because sprinklers run at night and may hit your camp chairs and bbq."

Dump station access: Plan for waste management before arrival. "No sewage but had electric and water (that leaked; rented spot 4 that many people thought was a drive through lane)," warns a Miracle Hot Springs visitor about limitations at some facilities.
