The Silver Creek West Access Area offers toilets and trash disposal for campers with pets, maintaining a clean environment for all visitors.

The Ice Cave Boondock dispersed camping area offers a decent spot to stay with pets when traveling through the area, with nearby hiking opportunities along old lava flows and a dry riverbed. Picabo Angler Silver Creek RV Park provides full hookups for RV campers with pets, though reviews note the bathroom facilities can be unreliable. Temperature extremes should be considered when camping with pets in this region, as summer days can be extremely hot with little natural shade available at many sites.

      Twin Falls 93 RV Park

      Clean and nice

      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.

      Twin Falls 93 RV Park

      Expensive run down RV Park

      Twin Falls 93 RV Park is an expensive, run down, in need of repair rv park that provides only the basics. It offers restrooms, showers, laundry, dog parks and is about 15 minutes from the city of Twin Falls. Our site was not level (off about 4 inches) and many other sites were not level either. Most motor homes had the front tires off the ground. Unfortunately, they are very expensive for what you get, which includes sites that are only 50 feet or less in length (forcing you to park your truck sideways if you have a trailer over 35 feet or motor home), even though they say they are deluxe sites and big rig friendly. Many times there were Class As and Class Cs that were parked in the rv park roads by several feet due to the sites not being long enough. When driving through the park you have to be very careful due to so many big rigs extending past the short sites and into the interior roads. On some of the sites, the grassy area with the hookups is higher than the rest of the site, making it difficult to hook up the sewer so that it drains properly. There is a man made concrete pond that is completely dry and full of debris, as if it hasn’t been used in years. The whole time we were there, 2 of the dryers in the laundry room were broken, and the remaining dryers required 2 cycles (double the cost) to actually dry the clothes. There is a bench in one dog park that has a broken back, which was not fixed in the time we were there. For what it costs to stay there ($1,281 for a little over a month after good sam discount), you would think they could afford to fix things, which makes us think they just don’t care. The rv park wifi was completely unusable, because it dropped every minute or two. The park was very noisy, being right next to the highway. Water quality is very hard which stained our shower floor and walls. No late checkout was permitted even though they were not busy when we checked out. We will not stay here again.

      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!


    Guide to Richfield

    Dispersed camping near Richfield, Idaho offers numerous free sites across Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land where campers can enjoy the high desert landscape at 4,300-4,700 feet elevation. The area experiences significant seasonal temperature variations with summer days reaching 90°F+ while nights cool considerably, even in peak season. Winter camping is possible but challenging with temperatures routinely dropping below freezing from November through March.

    What to do

    Fly fishing opportunities: Silver Creek Public Access Dispersed provides excellent fishing access with slow-moving waters ideal for beginners and experts alike. "The river is right up against the parking lot! Looks like there's maybe also a private RV lot too? But there's a large communal parking lot at the top," notes reviewer C L. about the convenient water access.

    Wildlife viewing: Stanton Crossing campers frequently encounter local wildlife in the natural habitat. "We were visited by a moose as we packed up camp in the morning," shares Dexter I. who stayed at Silver Creek West when visiting nearby attractions. Morning and evening hours offer the best wildlife spotting opportunities.

    Exploring geological features: Lava flows and unique geological formations surround the Richfield area. "There's a couple bars of Verizon here. Nice hiking and exploring the river bottom and some water-carved rocks. Just a few miles north on 75 is Black Magic Canyon which has some larger more impressive water carved rocks," explains Mike E. about the Ice Cave Boondock area.

    What campers like

    Privacy and solitude: Many campers appreciate the relatively low traffic at dispersed sites around Richfield. "This site is across the highway from the entrance to the Shoshone Ice Cave attraction on highway 75... What's nice about this spot is privacy and isolation. It's a great spot near both Shoshone Ice Cave and just a few miles from Mammoth Cave," reports Mike E.

    Well-maintained facilities: Despite being free dispersed camping, several sites feature surprisingly good amenities. "Great spots near a slow moving river with bathrooms and shade and picnic tables. The best dispersed camping I have ever found!" remarks Liona L. about Silver Creek Public Access Dispersed.

    Accessibility and convenience: Most sites accommodate standard vehicles without requiring specialized equipment. "I spent a few days here and really liked it. There are a few more established sites with tables and covered pavilions. I opted for a pull out site for more privacy. The creek is very peaceful, and there's decent cell service," notes Kelda C., highlighting the balance of amenities and seclusion.

    What you should know

    Weather considerations: The area experiences extreme temperature fluctuations that require preparation. "Hot as hell! By a lake with little to no trees or shade!" warns Doug E. about Magic Reservoir, emphasizing the need for shade structures during summer months.

    Seasonal insect activity: Waterside camping brings natural challenges. "Great place to stop if you are interested in fishing or sightseeing. The camping area itself is not that awesome, and the mosquitos are intense," cautions Jennifer R. about Silver Creek West Access Area. Bug spray is essential, particularly from May through September.

    Road conditions: Access roads to some sites require careful navigation. "The short gravel road was a little rigid getting in but no potholes or anything, any car should be able to make it," shares Evan about Silver Creek Public Access Dispersed, providing reassurance for standard vehicles.

    Tips for camping with families

    Child-friendly fishing spots: Hayspur Hatchery offers easy fishing opportunities perfect for young anglers. "Cute fishing lake at the campground (perfect for kids), my husband had some fun with his fly rod. Campground cost is donations only. Glad we stopped here," says Robin B., highlighting the beginner-friendly water access.

    Educational opportunities: Several campgrounds provide learning experiences for children. "Walked over to the Hatchery, it was interesting to see the fish," notes Robin B. about Hayspur Hatchery's educational component that keeps children engaged.

    Space for outdoor activities: Many sites feature open areas for play. "Since we were in the lake bed, there wasn't any tall grass or shrubs so no ticks. It also gave us a good place to ride our 4wheeler and dirt bike," explains Jennifer S. about Magic Reservoir, describing the natural playground created by low water levels.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection considerations: RV campers should strategically choose their spots based on noise and access. "Everything worked quite well, my pool Throughs and the areas were relatively flat. We had no problems with water pressure, no problems with electricity. The only thing I would point out is that if you are on the last row, that makes you closest to the highway and you will hear the highway noise starting at about 5:30 in the morning," advises RichMichelle M. about Twin Falls-Jerome KOA.

    Limited hookup options: Most pet-friendly camping near Richfield, Idaho consists of dispersed sites without RV amenities. "Picabo Angler Silver Creek RV Park is an open 5 acre field set in the center of a quiet farming valley. There are no 'camp sites' just a gravel road running around the field. Find a spot you like and park," explains Robin O., describing the informal setup at one of the few RV-oriented options.

    Leveling requirements: Prepare for uneven terrain at many dispersed sites. "We only stayed for one night. We have a 36ft travel Trailer and we're able to maneuver it very well. The campground road is gravelly and circles most of the small campground so you can look for a good spot," shares Barbara S. about Stanton Crossing, providing reassurance about large rig access.
