    Oregon Trail Campground

    Very friendly and helpful staff.

    We stayed at Oregon Trail Campground in Twin 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. The staff here was very nice and helpful with restaurant recommendations. The only negative for us was that we had to take our pets to the pet area, which was at the far corner of the park, and pets are not allowed to potty on any trees or shrubs. Signs were everywhere stating this. It was difficult to get our dogs quickly to the dog area, which is very small and swampy, when they really had to pee. Other than that we enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here again.

    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.

    Village of Trees RV Resort

    Convenient, Clean, and Friendly

    Pulled in for a quick overnight stop on a road trip. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Campground and facilities are very well maintained. Clean bathrooms and showers. Access to the Snake River. Pet friendly with poop bag stations throughout the grounds. Food delivery to your site from the onsite restaurant. Will definitely be back.

    Oregon Trail Campground

    Good location / clean

    The staff was amazing and very accommodating - we were running on a tight schedule and they agreed to stay after hours to attend to us. They were so personal and easily to talk with. As stated - the sites were tight and provided no real scenery - but they were quiet, safe, clean - and best of all - great location. The public shower like being at home - amazing! Nice pet walking area. If you’re looking for more “state park” feel - this is not for you!

    Snake River Canyons Park - Rickett's RV Camp

    Good Spot for an overnighter

    This 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.

    Lava Flow Campground — Craters of the Moon National Monument

    Great place to stay!!

    This campground was an great place to stay while in Lava Hotsprings. It's a two minute drive to the Hotsprings, which are amazing. The campground is clean and very well maintained. Cleanest shower houses and bathrooms we have seen at a campground in a long time! The camp hosts are friendly and the park is very pet friendly! I would highly recommend this spot if you are stopping in Lava Hotsprings for any amount of time!

    Riverwood Rec Site

    Good Place to Camp

    I stayed here in June 2023. The campground has a few picnic tables under a shelter, a fire pit and some bbq facilities. There’s a portapotty nearby (I assumed it was ok to use it). No garbage bins. I checked in the grocery store in Richfield (Friday’s Market, open 7am 7pm 7days a week) and they said it was ok to stay there but only up to 7 nights. The website is like something from 1995, and suggests there’s a fee to pay. No one came around while I was there. Overall, a good place to camp

    Heyburn Riverside RV Park

    Great sites, no amenities.

    We had planned to stay here 2 nights but stayed one more. The sites are great. Spread out with lots of grass. It's right on the river with a great paved walking trail through an arboretum. Our dogs loved it. We were here in October 2020 so bathrooms were closed due to COVID and because it was off season there was no park host do no wifi code. No other amenities (which is fine, we didn't need anything). The cost was very affordable with good Sam membership (24.30 per night). They had pull through sites in the middle and back in sites on the edges. Each side had utilities on opposite sides. We would definitely stay here again when passing through southern Idaho.

    Meadows RV Park

    Close to a beautiful bike path

    If you’re looking for a simple stay, close to all, including a gorgeous bike path, this will do the trick.

    No one was there when we pulled in at 5 (they say they are open until 10), but they left a map & the park is small, so it wasn’t rocket science. It was a little tough to find the dump drain, but it’s there, and the parking situation is a little wonky at first (especially if you’re pulling in after a long drive) and may feel a little confusing. The utilities for each spot are just next to each other. Yours will have your spot number on it.

    If you’re looking for luxury, this is not the place for you. It is right off a main highway, which didn’t bother us at all but I did see some complaints on yelp about noise. The noise was not bad at all, especially with windows closed and air on. We had vents and windows open and we were fine (and I’m a light sleeper/sensitive to noise). If you want less noise, I suggest you ask for a spot on the residential side of the park.

    You’re also just next door to a residential community. Our spot sat next to someone’s backyard. No problem for us, but this my bother some.

    The spots are packed in, but we paid $5 extra for a “premium” end unit, and that worked just fine. I will agree that it’s a little pricey for what you get. Bathrooms were clean enough, could have been given a little more attention as to how the trash can and paper bits were on the floor.

    But, again, if you’re looking for a resort, go elsewhere. We give it a 4 for proximity to town, access to bike paths, and some pretty epic views.
