"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."
"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."
"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."
"recently updated- the pools and surrounding areas are well kept. pools feel so good with the different temp areas. staff was friendly but not helpful."
"The campsite is rustic, with closely spaced sites and two riverside group camps, one of which has water access."
"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."
"The campsites are decent size but way to close together where you are basically on top of the camp site next to you."
"We used this more of a dock and boat ramp which gave us access to a great stretch of the Snake River. In the building there is a nice warm pool with slides and rolling logs for the kiddies"
"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."
"Cottages to rent and full RV hookups . Wifi . Hotshowers ."
$35 / night
"Liz and her husband have done a fantastic job with their park; 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."
GuideThe 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.
TravelerThis 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.
RangerNice 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
GuideThis 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.
Traveleri 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
TravelerRoad 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.
GuideThis 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!
LegendMay 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. Rock City Restaurant has good pizza. Tracy's General Store serves meals, has groceries, ice cream, showers, mail service and accepts UPS.
