Best Campgrounds near Rogerson, ID

Camping options around Rogerson, Idaho include both developed campgrounds and dispersed areas on public lands. Grey's Landing offers primitive dispersed camping near the Snake River with vault toilets and both tent and RV accommodation. The surrounding area features several developed campgrounds like Lud Drexler Park, which provides drinking water, showers, and reservable sites for both tent and RV campers, while Balanced Rock County Park offers free camping with picnic tables and toilets.

Temperatures vary significantly with elevation changes throughout the region, with higher elevation sites experiencing cooler conditions even during summer months. "The relationship between City of Rocks National Preserve and Castle Rocks State Park is still not clear to me as this campground appears on the National Park Service website, although it is an Idaho State Park," noted one camper, highlighting the mixed land management that affects camping regulations. Sites at higher elevations typically close during winter months, while lower elevation campgrounds like Lud Drexler Park remain open year-round. Cell service is limited throughout the area, with most dispersed camping locations having no coverage. Many campgrounds require advance reservations during peak summer weekends, particularly those with water access.

The Snake River areas receive consistently positive reviews for fishing opportunities and scenic views. Several visitors mentioned the privacy found at sites tucked among rock formations. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, campgrounds in the region feature varying levels of amenities, from primitive dispersed sites with no facilities to developed campgrounds with electric hookups. Campers particularly value sites near water features, with one review noting "a wonderful stream right next to almost every campsite that you can fish in and hang your hammock over." For those seeking more isolation, the higher elevation sites and dispersed camping areas provide greater privacy but require visitors to be self-sufficient with water and waste management.

    Cauldron Linn BLM Dispersed

    So. Many. Flies.

    The farm road out has a small patch of very rough road. It was just passable in my non-lifted Sprinter. There is a smallish open area to camp at the top, it’s very exposed and you will have approximately 15 flies in your car in 90 seconds. The road down to the water is beyond tore up- I don’t know how anyone makes it down. The water is very green/slimy, I had my dog jump in but I wouldn’t dunk myself. We didn’t stay.

    Steer Basin Campground

    Great spot

    Love this little campground, right along Rock Creek. Went in January as well as mid September and hardly any other people. Vault toilets (not available in winter) and water available, no trash service so be prepared to pack it out. As others have said it's right along the road so you do get the occasional traffic noise. Overall though a great campsite.

    Cauldron Linn BLM Dispersed

    Gorgeous but beware washed out roads

    Farm road to BLM awash with loads of potholes but can be navigated cautiously. Once at the Cauldron, do not go down to the river unless you have 4WD. Whilst you can get down, recent rains mean the doable steep climb back out is riddled with massive dips and rocks. While I did get out in a 2WD (small) van with a lift, it took a few tries and a kindly fellow camper who could watch and help me troubleshoot a doable path. Great hiking all around the Snake River offers serenity with dramatic rock formations and vegetation. Beautiful migration of myriad geese at night. Campers have left their marks in disappointing ways, so please pack out what you pack in. Sheriff came by around sunset—due to hazardous road and shady business on weekends.

    Grey's Landing

    Perfect for a one nighter

    Only stayed for a night , plenty of spots open. Easy to drive to. Stayed by the water , didn’t drive up on the ridge.

    Billingsley Creek Campground

    Brand spanking new

    Fantastic campground. Road and sites are paved with full (50/30/120v) hookups. Gravel area next to each site for sitting/campfires. Has bathroom and showers (NFI). Sites are spaced out so minimal noise and more privacy. Short drive or walk into Hagerman. Only drawback was a lack of trees but it’s flat and in the middle of pasture land so..

    Ricketts RV Camp

    Nice place for a couple days

    Found when we wanted to stay near Twin Falls Idaho. Free campground with multiple spots.
    There are two pit toilets. No water or dump. Limit to 7 days free camping. Very quiet at night.

    Wifi and solitude

    I am so surprised I have service! Car camping with my dog. Right by the water. Several very cool spots to pick from. You need a 4WD. My pup Wolfie loved it too!

    Lud Drexler Park

    Nice view, horrible flies !

    First two days were good, weather was hot but doable. Only available sites were not close to level and unfortunately the gravel was deep enough that I had trouble getting level blocks in place. Got it close enough to work. This was Labor Day weekend so pretty full. Day 3 saw the arrival of the flies that others have noted. Horrible. Nice tables under pavilions, fire rings and relatively clean vault toilets, dumpsters and a RV dump.

    Rock Creek RV Park

    Good value for the money

    Twin Falls county park within the city. Electric & water. Dump about a mile away. Extremely well maintained. Vault toilets. Lots of paved walkways. Narrow steep, short, paved road in and out, 40 foot rigs navigated in and out


Guide to Rogerson

Camping options in the Rogerson, Idaho area include dispersed locations on public lands as well as established campgrounds. Most sites in this region sit between 4,500-5,800 feet elevation, creating significant temperature variations between day and night. The Snake River corridor provides water access at several campsites near Rogerson, Idaho, though seasonal algae blooms can affect swimming conditions during summer months.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: At Cauldron Linn BLM Dispersed, the Snake River provides good fishing conditions, especially for bass. "Great fishing, caught at least 4 fish a day while camping (small bass, there were several bigger fish but I didn't have the right lures)," notes a camper who visited in July.

Hot springs soaking: Located about 45 minutes from Rogerson, Nat-Soo-Pah Hot Springs & RV Park offers thermal water swimming. "The real beauty of the place is the fantastic swimming pool and hot tubs. While it is a mecca for rowdy children, the pool is large and the temperature and delicious texture of the water make it an absolute delight," a visitor shared.

Waterfall exploration: Several camping areas provide access to notable waterfalls. Cauldron Linn features accessible falls that require minimal hiking. "You need to walk up the rocks and follow the path to the water falls. It is an easy walk on the path or you can climb some rocks. It is a short walk to see the most amazing lava rock formations and the canyon," explains a recent visitor.

What campers like

Canyon views: Campers consistently praise the dramatic geology surrounding many sites. Balanced Rock County Park offers canyon camping with vertical rock walls. "We hiked around and explored the rock formations, then we spent the night at the park/campground in the bottom of the canyon. Absolutely beautiful!" reported one camper.

Quiet, uncrowded sites: Many campers appreciate the solitude available at dispersed sites. At Grey's Landing, visitors note the peaceful setting: "Beautiful and quiet. Stayed on a Tuesday night. No one else was camping but there were a few people fishing," commented one reviewer during an August visit.

Cooler temperatures: Higher elevation campgrounds provide relief from summer heat. At Bear Gulch, about 30 minutes from Rogerson, a visitor noted: "We came up here looking to escape the heat of the city and were not disappointed. It was a good 10 degrees cooler and cooled off quickly when the sun went down."

What you should know

Road conditions: Access to some campsites requires careful driving on rough roads. At Cauldron Linn, a camper advised: "The road down is definitely steep and bumpy in places, take care," while another mentioned: "Great place if the road in wasn't so sketchy. Barely made it out with 2wd E250 van. 4wd would probably be fine."

Insect patterns: Flies can be problematic at certain times and locations. Lud Drexler Park receives consistent mentions about flies: "Day 3 saw the arrival of the flies that others have noted. Horrible," reported one camper, while another stated: "As soon as we got out of the truck, we were swarmed with flies. There was nothing we could do to battle the flies."

Water quality issues: Several waterfront campsites experience seasonal algae issues. At Grey's Landing, a camper noted: "There is a toxic algae bloom in the lake so we couldn't swim which was a disappointment," highlighting that water conditions can affect recreational activities.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Some campgrounds offer dedicated children's facilities. Balanced Rock County Park provides family amenities: "A pavilion for day use, swing sets for kids, horseshoe pits, fire pits, and plenty of space within the canyon. The sites are along a creek with amazing rock formations all around."

Swimming options: When water conditions permit, several locations offer swimming. At Murtaugh Lake Park Campground, campers can set up near the water: "We had our tent right by the lake. Although you can hear geese and other birds late night/early morning we were able to sleep. The morning view of the lake was a beautiful sight."

Weather preparation: Temperature swings require planning for both hot days and cool nights. At Lud Drexler Park, a camper observed: "We came in May and weather went from 90 to 55 in a day, with wind. Cell and 4G service which seemed weird."

Tips from RVers

Hookup availability: Water and electric connections vary significantly between sites. Rock Creek RV Park offers affordable partial hookups: "Hard to beat $20 for W&E hookups. It's a quiet campground. Trashcans all around the park conveniently," noted one RVer.

Dump station locations: Most dispersed sites lack dump facilities, requiring planning. At Rock Creek RV Park, visitors mention: "There is a free public dump station 1 mile away in town since there is not a dump station on site."

Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds require additional effort to level RVs. At Lud Drexler Park, one RVer reported: "Only available sites were not close to level and unfortunately the gravel was deep enough that I had trouble getting level blocks in place. Got it close enough to work."
