Showed up late October around 6. It’s quiet, just out of town and there are toilets places I guess (didn’t use) and a fire pit by my site. Didn’t use either. Cold (34* last night) rainy, super windy, but felt safe and free is great 😊
Guide
Stayed three nights in mid-October. Got real cold at night, but having electric made it bearable. Not to far from Twin Falls and all it has to offer. Much less expensive than parks closer to town.
Scout
Would definitely recommend this spot. 21$ dry and I think 40 full. Nice big grass areas with a few trees. Probably really hot in summer but we were there in fall. Careful of the sprinklers they come on early. Nice big clean showers/bathrooms( family style).
ScoutThere is a picnic table, fire pit, and pit toilet. T-mobile service had a few bars.
GuideIt’s hard to believe this place is free. Nicer than some National Forest campgrounds with the same amenities. Pit toilets and that’s it. The toilets were clean and the one by our site even had a light on! It was a quiet stay and convenient to see Shoshone Falls, and resupply at Costco or Walmart just to the north in Jerome. Don’t skip the scenic overlooks at the bridge on highway 93, beautiful views, and we even watched a couple base jumpers there
LegendFairly quiet with occassional car racing by. Very close to city of twin falls. Has vault restrooms and firepits at the sites.
ScoutThe campground was very nice. The only negative is the ground and grass areas are pitted with holes from gophers. If tent camping bring a good ground cover to put tent on
TravelerNice layout, large spots, friendly people, useful signage about the surrounding area, and two clean well maintained pit toilets (one even had a night light). This spot is wonderfully close to town, feels very safe and convenient. Highly recommend this spot to anyone passing through!
ScoutWonderful place for free camping, even better than some dirt but with 20bucks over....
TravelerTent camped here in site 6. Felt safe the entire night and the campground featured bathrooms, which was a plus. Definitely targeted more towards RVs and camper style set-ups, but good night regardless minus some weather and wind!
ScoutSnake River Canyons Park- Rickett's RV Camp offers a peaceful and convenient location for an overnight stay. The campsites are mostly clean and equipped with fire rings and picnic tables. While the area is quite dry, it provides a safe and hassle-free experience. Nothing fancy. The Sherrif did a drive through at dusk(a feature I like) and the camp filled up before the sun had set. The availability of basic amenities such as pit toilets and horse corrals adds to the convenience of the site. If you're looking for a quick overnight stay this is a great spot that is pretty much a free campsite complete with a site host.
GuidePulled into this area, easily, without any obstacles. The sites were plenty to choose from, clean, and had a table with a fire ring. Watched an awesome sunset and moved on the next morning. Not much here other than the basic stuff to spend the night and feel safe. I will stay here in my travels again. Area is very dry right now.
TravelerMost of all sites have a Pavillon and the sites on the river has a direct lake access. In my opinion the campground is a little bit open and there is not so much privacy. All in all I would give the campground 4 stars BUT I'm very disappointed from the camp hosts work. He doesn't really care about the people and the campground. From beginning till end on our site was dog shit on the waterstation, all of the tables was very dirty and also trash on the sites. Also the sprinklers work absolutely random. When we woke up on the first day, our stuff was wet. We build a cone by ourself so we can use the site for three days. The camp host shows up the first time an hour before we left and he told us, that we can have a cone from him. Never the less the campground is beautiful rounded by murtaugh lake and the restrooms are mostly clean.
GuideThis is an RV park, but I used a tent. Ground is very rocky, but was able to stake it fairly easily. This site is very close to the town, like a quick 5 minute drive. Road is very accessible as well, you won't have any troubles getting to this site unless your suspension is held together by duck tape. Toilet was as clean as a camp toilet can be! My only real negative is that there were a lot of people and pets around that were making noise, but it wasn't that bad. Oh, and there is absolutely no shade at all.
GuideNice smaller county campground surrounded by farmland and on a lake. Not very busy for early June. Gravel interior roads and campsites with power and water. No sewer or dump station. Pit toilets, clean. Sister campground across the bay. The only problem was the large number of voles running around and burrowing holes everywhere.
GuideNice campground with 13 campsites with fire rings and picnic tables. There is also 2 pit toilets. Only stayed one night on our way to Oregon. There is a 5 night limit. Would stay here again if in the area. About 5 empty spots when we pulled in on a Sunday evening. There is also 3 horse corrals if looking for a place to ride.
GuideAs previously posted, about a dozen sites with no hookups. I was in the process of moving across country and exhausted. I loved that this place was close enough to town that I didn’t have to cook. Haha. If you’re an atv or mtb type, tons to do here. But if you’re looking for scenery, all you will find in this campsite is the occasional amazing sunset which I was lucky enough to catch. ;-)
TravelerThis site is Free and easy to find, and not too far off the main road. There are a dozen or so marked sites with their own tables and fire pits. This site is surrounded by trails used for ATVs and Bikes. It also has one bathroom on site. No Hookups.
I stayed there for a night in April of 2024 while passing through and it was a convenient and hassle-free location. Decent Cell service

The first part of the road allows for 3-day max camping, but a little further in, you’ll hit 16-day max stay! The sites further up are away from the others and run along a stream. Still further in, you’ll hit a Y in the road. The right side leads you to a small parking lot with bathrooms and access to a small pond, the left leads you up to more sites. Not too far past the pond, the dirt road is less smooth and has tall grass growing in the middle of the road. I scored a gorgeous site, with a campfire pit already established. The site overlooks the pond, with the Sun Valley Ski Resort seen in the distance and has a gorgeous Mountain View on the opposite side. Absolutely stunning! Plenty of ground squirrels and butterflies and have only seen 2 cars all day.
ScoutDid not shower there but bathroom was clean and had one shower. You can pay by credit card and slip payment ( around $20 even if not using electric) As stated make sure there is not an event going on if planning a stay here. I don’t recall any services being close by - but check the map.
TravelerNice place. Not very busy when we were there (during week). Only problem is sprinklers come on at night and early morning.
TravelerWe were one of three in the campground, nice and quiet.
Traveler
We tried to stay at this place but we arrived at 11 pm and there was a closed gate. We had to turn around. Quite a commercial district as well
Scout$20. Electricity, water, wifi. Parking lot. No restrooms. But okay for the price.
ScoutI had an okay tent camping experience here.
Price is good at $5.
If you have trouble finding where to pay there’s a little building in the campground where you drop your envelope and take a receipt stub to put on your car.
Bathrooms are just toilets.
Lots of bugs at night! I was here late Aug/early Sept
Sprinklers come on at random hours and it’s hard to know what ground they’ll cover.
TravelerWe had no idea what to expect at this place. We arrived later in the evening so it was dark but the next morning we woke up to warm sunny weather and found that this campground is awesome. It’s small with not many spots but it was nice. Nice lake access and huge grass area for large groups. The Rv spots are well kept up and plenty of power. No dump site but we didn’t have to drive far to dump on the way out. The camp host was very friendly and checked on us often to see how we where doing.
Call service was awesome and we have both Verizon and AT&T and full bars the whole time. We spent time Kayaking on the lake and riding our Ebikes around the lake. Short drives can take you to some awesome places to see.
Bring bug spray for the evenings. Lol
Overall it was an awesome stay at this place.
TravelerThis is a very well-maintained camp site with electric and water hookups for only $15/night. Lots of grass, shade, and water access. The only drawbacks are no rv dump stations and it is about 30 min from town. We stayed at site #10 which looks like it’s on the water, however there is a wall of very tall marshy grass between the site and the water, so no awesome view of the lake. Overall good experience for the price.
