Malad Summit Guard Station is located 14 miles north of Malad, Idaho on Malad Pass just off I-15. The rustic one-room cabin is in a forested setting in narrow Mill Creek Drainage, and offers a secluded retreat on fenced acreage surrounded by scenic high country views. The original guard station was established in 1908, but was replaced by the existing cabin in 1934. The cabin is accessible by car when there is no snow. Guests should be prepared in snowy conditions to ski, snowshoe or snowmobile half a mile from the plowed road to reach the cabin. The guard station offers many amenities for a comfortable stay, but fewer conveniences are available in winter.
The surrounding area offers a variety of recreational activities. Trails are provided for hikers, mountain bikers, horseback riders and off-road vehicles (Idaho OHV safety message).Anglers can fish for small brook trout in Mill Creek. Hunting for game and game birds is another popular pastime.
The rustic single-room cabin is tucked into a deciduous and conifer forest at an elevation of around 6,000 feet. Mill Creek meanders through the site. The front porch invites guests to sit and enjoy views of the forest and possible wildlife sightings. Black bears, wolves, elk, moose, mule deer, bison, grizzly bears, mountain lions and pronghorn are some of the species native to the area (bear safety tips).

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.

We found this site on the Dyrt in looking for a stopover between Park city Utah and Boise Idaho. Wow, Bennet Springs is a hidden gem! We took the site at the eastern end and felt like we had the place to ourselves. Nice trail along the creek and wildflowers everywhere. The road is visible from camp but it it little traveled.
RangerIn far away Downey Idaho is a little resort with hot springs, cabins, wagons, teepees, a RV campground and a nice little eatery and a load of other fun things. It's small but busy so make reservations, when you check in ask about the steak and soak...so worth it especially if you arrive later and only have a few hours. One of the biggest pluses is the cleanliness of the whole property and the level of care throughout. This is a great place for families where parents can relax as the kiddos entertain themselves and you can meet up at the campfire for dinner. This is a high recommendation for this great place.

Paved roads in, plenty of trails that lead to even greater views. Clean bathrooms and showers. If you don't have an RV, they have cabins that look very nice also.
LegendWe stayed 3 nights in site 24. It was late June in the midst of a record breaking heat wave. We did have shade in the afternoon which helped tremendously. Our site had views of the Snake River.. There is a really informative visitor center. A couple of easy walking trails along the original Oregon Trail. Fishing access parking is generous an not close to the campground which we liked. There are a few cabins here.. There is disc golf, too. Pro note: Jim Dandy Brewery in Pocatello has really good beer
We would definitely stop again.
LegendPROS:
CONS:
We would definitely stay again
ScoutEasy access from the hwy. clean, full service setup. You can here some hwy noise but not see it. Campsites are well-spaced and private-feeling.
LegendStayed here a few days on our way to Oregon. Quiet campground off the interstate. Not much nearby though. Showers/ restrooms clean and great hot water. Good place to ride bikes. A lot of history in the area. We also visited Lava Hot Springs which was about 1 hour away. Great spot
Traveler
I booked Indian Springs last minute because nearby campgrounds with reviews were full. But Indian Springs deserves a review! Spacious, full facilities. Lots of open area, with room for games and kids. Vintage hot spring swimming pool on site. Friendly staff. Convenient freeway access. Pleasant setting.
TravelerWe are camping across America in a tent with our young toddler and 2 dogs. This place was great, clean, well kept, nice flush toilets with soap and working sinks. the pool was fantastic although entry to the pool is not included in your camping fee so be prepared to pay extra to get in the pool but totally worth it. Sites were close together with little privacy but flat. We had no shade at our spot but some of the other sites had more shade. Should have been more aware of that when we were looking at the map to pick our camping location.
We did see a coyote at the edge of the campground but our Great Pyrenees told him to keep moving.
We had so much fun here with our toddler and will definitely be staying when we come back through in the future.
GuideEasy to get in and out of. Beautiful location and great host’s. The pool is old but very refreshing. You feel isolated but you’re close to town.
GuideVery clean very friendly. Shaded and close to swimming pool
GuideWe arrived the Wednesday after Labor Day. We were given a full hookup spot in a giant field area all to ourselves! Our spot backed up to a small running creek filled with fish. The field had corn hole and horse shoe games set up. We enjoyed the hot spring fed pool. Again, we were the only ones there. The pool is huge! We also enjoyed a great burger cooked at the grill in the office. Staff was friendly and helpful.

This cabin needs to be reserved first and foremost. The # can be found in the pictures. It is close to the reservoir of you need to cool off and there is also the creek which runs right next to it! It has picnic tables and a bbq grill and sleeping space inside for a few people
TravelerBathrooms and developed campsites with plenty of trees and a creek running through it!
GuideWe wanted to try this out with our 28' bumper pull. Luckily it was not a busy weekend, we had to move sites to one that would accommodate. Hard to maneuver in the campground as well as getting up the narrow road. Perfect site for tents. Tons of shade and trees. There's a really cool spring and waterfall just a short hike up the road. We will be coming back with our friends.
GuideWe were booked here and did not stay. It sort of looked like an abandoned RV park, there is no manager or grounds keeper on site. You check in at the casino. The grass was completely overgrown, the park was not well kept and seemed to have a mix of one nighters and extended stayers. Several sites seemed to be housing a lot of people, a few RVs had multiple vehicles parked around them. And there were lots of random vehicles parked along the fence line. No playground, no extras. It was dirty. No cell coverage, no Wi-Fi, which is fine if you’re in the beauty of God’s creation, but this is not that place. This is literally a place to park if you are going to spend all your time at the casino and pray your things are still there when you return. Our credit card was skimmed from the gas station right outside the RV park, as well. And obviously crime is an issue because there was security at each door of the gas station. We left and found a better park. They have only two pictures on their website, that should have clued me in! And I was so quick to leave that I forgot to take any pictures myself.
ScoutLittle space between sites, no room for picnics, no lights at night to walk to from facilities/casino
ScoutTook the long drive up and arrived at the campground at night. Didn’t see the snow and almost got stuck. Currently (5/10/24) there is snow blocking the entrance and impassible.
ScoutWhen we can't get to the top of Mt. Harrison because there's still snow there, but we're itching to go camping, we come to Bennett Springs. It only has 4 sites but it is free and it has a bathroom. Our favorite site has a little creek right next to it. Great for kids to play in. There's also a trail that goes along the creek which starts at the bottom most campsite. There's another trail that goes up to Pomerelle Ski resort parking lot. It would get a 5 rating if the campsites had better shade....
LegendA surprise little campground in a mountain pass between two plains. The altitude gain is enough to get some cool air if you are down in the valley and hot. It's a nice basic campground, nothing fancy but it's pretty.
TravelerWe come here every year to meet family. Friendly staff, clean areas, reasonable rates. Busy time is between Memorial Day and Labor day. We always visit after Labor Day. No sewer, electricity and water at most sites
ScoutNice little spot in the middle of nowhere. A little crowded is my only complaint. Nice friendly staff. Good pools. Basic amenities available in the main office. We had a spot with power and water. Kids and dog loved it. We got to see the fireflies in the field!
GuideThis place is spotless and well-cared for.
We are car camping in a Tesla and the destination charge gave us the oomph to go up to Jackson WY the more scenic way via Soda Springs . We were the only guests (weekday after the kids are back in school=quiet time.) Got some road tips and local history from the friendly camp hosts and had a very pleasant stay!
RangerThe 1st time we stayed here, we were with a group of friends who rented out the Ranch House. It had 3-bedrooms with 5 beds, a couch that could sleep 3 grown adults. There was a full kitchen and dinning area, another sitting area to visit. A large flat screen tv with a DVD player. There was a small playroom for the kids downstairs. Had 2 bathrooms both with shower/tubs. All 12 of us were comfortable and there was enough room for everyone.
RangerMy boyfriend and I had stayed in one of the cabins for 2 people. The cabins were clean, came with full shower and toilet. A sink and microwave, coffee pot, and storage. Also had a futon, tv with DVD player. Loved this cabin! Walking distance to the hot pools, and restaurant...
RangerWe 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.
