    Massacre Rocks State Park Campground

    Easy getaway

    Easy getaway as we're from Pocatello. It was hot, but we had a great time. The camp hosts were very helpful and super friendly. Bathrooms and showers were close and clean. Lots to do with the visitor center, hiking trails, the Snake River, and historical sites like Register Rock and Oregon Trail sites. We had a camp trailer. Water and electrical hookups were great and the dump station is fairly close. We'd come back again when it's not so hot.

    Downata Hot Springs

    Great place to stay in the winter

    Cold winter months and you need to get away? Wow we rented a cabin three times this last winter. Great little cabins with bathrooms the hot pools were 100 feet away and a heated swimming pool. In the summer time the pool is nice and cold and there are water slides. There is RV and tent sites as well as group sites and 3 small cabins, 3 medium cabins and three large cabins/houses. They also have several yurts. This year they also have covered wagons you can stay in(cute idea on a tent cabin). The staff is friendly and courteous. There is a small cafe and store. There is a restaurant that has a great sirloin dinner if you call ahead to make dinner reservations. Over all a great place to camp summer or winter.

    Snake River RV Park & Campground

    Snake River stay

    Easy to find. Short drive from the campground to some restaurants, gas stations, grocery store, etc in the area. There are 2 bar/grills walking distance from the campground. Has a Heated pool. Fenced in dog areas. we were just there for one night while we were passing through. So im not sure how the amenities were, i never used any of them. I thought it was actually on the snake river when i booked it. But its not quite on the river. Lol but it was still a nice stay for the night. The staff was friendly, and the lady at the desk gave me a little stuffed snake for staying at “snake river”. It was cute.

    Wolverine Canyon

    Lots of dispersed camping options

    We needed a spot to spend the night on our way back to Montana. Our timing worked out for the Idaho Falls area and Wolverine Canyon came up as an option. It’s all paved road until you get to the mouth of the Canyon, then it’s a well maintained gravel road. A few washboard spots but easy to tow a trailer even 30 ft long. Most camp spots are right off of the main gravel road. Saw several camps set up over Memorial Day weekend, and we didn’t have a problem finding a spot for the night. Lots of spots have some wear and tear from target shooting, previous camping, ruts in mud, etc, but more than suitable for a boondocking setup. Be sure to pay attention to BLM boundaries, as there is some checkerboard ownership with private lands and the fence boundaries aren’t always signed. Beautiful setting! Lush, green, rugged rock cliffs along the drive.

    Wolverine Canyon

    Quiet and simple

    About thirty minutes outside of Blackfoot before you hit gravel road. We only drove a short distance on gravel before we parked in a wide spot that had a fire pit. We could hear the babbling creek all night. So soothing. So quiet. Poor cell service.

    Massacre Rocks State Park Campground

    State Park on the Snake River

    PROS:

    • Easy access to the interstate
    • Host and Visitor Center worker were extremely nice
    • All sites have E/W
    • Sites were private, generous and clean
    • A lot of the sites have great views of the Snake River and canyon wall
    • Great historic area on the Oregon Trail
    • Disc golf
    • Easy access to the River at the sperate boat launch area 1 mile away
    • Day use area away from campground
    • Bathhouse on both upper and lower loop. Showers. (Very dated, but clean)
    • Hubby said to mention there are ample Pokémon opportunities.
    • There are a couple of cabins with great views.

    CONS:

    • Not a lot of shade
    • Closest shopping is American Falls which is very limited. Pocatello is about 40 min away but has great breweries, food, Gander RV (large retail store) and large town stores.
    • Bathhouse is dates and has heavy oxidation in the shower which makes them appear dirty, but they are not.
    • If in the upper loop, you do hear the Interstate noise. Not in the lower loop at all.

    We would definitely stay again

    South Tourist Park Campground

    Open city bear bone camp site next to Snake River

    Nice little gem of a bare bones city camp site next to Snake River. No hook ups. There is a dump site, fresh water and toilets. There is a small boat launch. A few back in sites but mostly just pull next to the side sites with picknick table and fire pit. 16 campsites. Some tent campers. No reservations, just first come first serve. No wifi. AT&T was LTE with 2 and sometimes 3 bars. Train tracks nearby with loud train noise twice during the night. Because it is a city open park there are people occasionally driving through. No security but there is a camp host. As of Sept 2024 the price is$18 per night.

    Snake River RV Park & Campground

    Maybe for an overnight stay

    A bit run down. Picnic table covered in bird poop. Site seemed washed out. Kinda sandy. No firepit or grill at my site. Pub and grill next door for wine, beer and basic bar food, arcade, family friendly. Verizon service was good. Wifi terrible. General store was poorly stocked. The area seemed industrial. Staff was nice. Bathroom was clean.

    Downata Hot Springs

    2nd Cabin Only Bigger

    We had returned but had got a cabin with a loft. There are only 3 loft cabins. They are super cozy, and come with a full kitchen. The loft above had 2 twin beds, the main floor had a full size bed, futon, closet, full kitchen and a bathroom with both shower and tub. Close walking distance to the hot pools and restaurant. The 3 of us were comfortable and not felt like we were in a tiny space.
