"Juniper is an excellent campground located on the Ririe reservoir and recreation area ."
"We were pleasantly surprised by this gem of a campground just outside Idaho Falls, which we used for one night on our trip through the area. The bathrooms were clean and showers were a nice touch."
"Great spot just 45 minutes out of Idaho Falls. Lots of sites, many are right by the river.
There are a few bathrooms along the road but may be a bit of a hike from some sites."
"Lots of firewood seems to be lying around to gather as well, a nice bonus. The surrounding area has a lot of trails and other outdoor things to get into."
"Nearby to hot springs, off roading/short hikes/mountain or dirt biking trails and areas. Only $5/night with your National Parks Pass."
"Not to big but it's next to the river not uncomon for a deer or a moose to walk through camp it is dry camping but well maintained through the summer there is a camp host."
$35 - $45 / night
"Close to hot springs and Idaho Falls."
"This is a tucked away little spot close to the Snake River, that feels totally peaceful and calm."
"However, Lakeside RV a block away has a dump station for $5 and there is a Sinclair nearby that also has a dump station for $5 and they refill propane tanks and I hear they have the best prices around."
"Love this campground -$30 for an RV, water and power (no dump), lakeside spots, and plenty of shade."
$35 - $48 / night
"We were in site 27 and it’s close to the laundry and bathhouse. If you want shade make sure not to get the first few sites towards the front as they don’t have as much shade."
"Unfortunately, the park is right next to a very busy and therefore noisy highway. Trucks are blasting by all day and night. Lake is not open for fun activities because of the pandemic."
"Close to where we live,cost effective ,other attractions within short driving, has grass and shade and a fair amount of sights."
"Sits next to the river so you can fish if you like, some times you'll see deer and even moose."
"This is a great location and you can't beat the price at $25 a night for full hookups."
"And it is the best price around here, for a full hook up camp ground."
"Location great close to town for shopping and stay the night if you’re heading to the Tetons. Does not have any access to snake river. The showers were hot. Has a cute little snack and gift shop."
"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."
"But Beaver Dick Park is the perfect place to camp if you are looking for a campground that feels safe (close to other campers) while still having your privacy (trees between most campsites)."
"It’s feels secluded but you are also near other sites so it still feels safe! It includes a playground and picnic areas that I’m sure would be great for families! I love this little park!"
ScoutIf you are looking to hike Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Jackson’s and Driggs/Darby, you will not find a better location to easily access all location. I am already planning my next trip back. The host is amazing!!!
GuideUp the road in Darby Canyon, site 1A sits on the bluff overlooking the Tetons - beautiful! but extremely windy. Very tight space. Moved up to site 5 which required high clearance 4wd and slow driving. Great spot in the middle of the forest.
RangerWe actually stopped here for 3 nights. We were at the grand Tetons and had racked up some laundry and needed to chill for a couple of days before heading to Glacier. The sites here are very spacious and mostly level. They are gravel. The trees in most sites are very mature and great for shade. We were in site 27 and it’s close to the laundry and bathhouse. If you want shade make sure not to get the first few sites towards the front as they don’t have as much shade. There are a couple of grassy areas to walk dogs at the front. Full hook up was also nice and even though no cable we had several channels come in. Easy access to HWY 20 but the road noise wasn’t really noticeable at all. Catch and release pond and rent poles for $5
ScoutSite is relatively unbusy with Campers but you may have locals walking a small trail pass by on main road or see others fly fishing in small stream that runs through park. Overall Pit toilets none seem to lock and nine had TP so bring your own. Road noise isn't bad but be aware site 24 is closest to an airport. South of camping area is a Water Treatment Facility and with a bad wind you can smell it.
ScoutNice kept sites close to the river.
LegendEasy access only a couple miles on bumpy but car safe gravel road. Great verizon cell phone signal in the river gulch area. ( you can see the tower). Not all of the sites are designated. So this means if you are in one of the things that looks like a site but isnt marked, that anyone can roll up and setup right next to you. So try to get a numbered spot. Some sites are on the river but dont have easy river access, there is a steep bank. The road along the sites is very very dusty and locals using the boat access fly down the road in trucks as fast as they can and will leave your stuff covered in dust. Traffic does down at night but starts up early, much more traffic than I would have thought. There is a busy pool style hot spring down the road but its filled with camp ground people. However the pizza place is okay.
TravelerGreat place to stay while visiting the area. The host is very friendly and made sure we were settled. Green grass and clean shower.
GuideStayed just above beach. Lots is places. Many entrances to this area but not marked. Used the Chain Up Area that had an entrance to beach area.
RangerThis was our third time at Heise Hot Springs, and every time we go—it just gets better. Our kids love it, we love it, and the entire place feels like a peaceful, family-friendly escape.
We love that we’re camping on real grass(not gravel or dirt), and the large fire pits make evenings around the campfire feel extra special. The hot springs are just a short walk from the campground, which is a huge bonus when you’ve got kids(or tired feet). Whether we’re grabbing pizza, ice cream, or hitting the restaurant, everything is close and super convenient.
The campsites are wide open and well-spaced, giving you breathing room and views—not neighbors on top of you. Drivers are respectful and go slow for kids, which is huge in our book. One of the best moments? A staff member picked up me and the kids and gave us a lift back to our camper—friendly, thoughtful, and exactly the kind of service that makes this place stand out.
It’s also close to Idaho Falls if you need to make a run for supplies, but honestly, once you’re here, you really don’t need much. They’ve thought of everything.
The only thing that truly sucked—and obviously nothing to do with Heise itself—was hearing that President Trump had been shot while we were camping. It was a heavy moment during an otherwise joyful weekend. We’ll never forget where we were when we heard that news.
Heise remains one of our favorite spots to unwind, reconnect, and make memories. We’ll absolutely be back again—and again.
