Best Cabin Camping near Shoshone, ID

The Campground was very nice green grass with beautiful big trees by the Snake River. The nice thing about camping in October was the fact that we were the only tent campers. It appears to be much busier with warm weather. There are beautiful views of the waterfalls across the river from the Campground. The campsite is a bit spendy at $25 a night per tent compared to other campgrounds nearby that are $20 a night for up to 5 tents. The customer service was not very good as when we arrived they gave us a deal on camping since we were the only 3 families, only for the next day an employee to harrass us about not paying enough. She would not back off and was very rude. Several hours later she verified we were in fact given the deal but was still rude and seemed mad. The pool is great but a bit chilly for my liking of a hot spring with no hot tub to relax unless you pay for the private rooms.

The snake river and the 1,000 Springs are beautiful. Having the opportunity to camp alongside the winding Snake, while watching the sun rise and set over the springs and hear their thundering in the quiet of the night was an amazing opportunity. We brought tubes, life vests, and ropes to tie the tubes to the dock, and we let the kids float in the river. They loved bouncing around on the waves as speed boats passed by. The sites are pretty shady which was a relief from the blazing, hot sun.

FYI: cell service anywhere in the canyon is sketchy at best. The campground provides WiFi—but it doesn’t carry strength very far past the main building.

I’m not sure that I expected more from the “resort” before I arrived, but I did find the overall care and management of the property to be disappointing, although the staff was friendly.

For starters, the sites were cramped and campers really have to hope for good neighbors. The only water pump was a hike for most tents. When we arrived, we found our fire bowl filled with trash and ash. We had to remove the garbage and did our best to prevent to ash from choking our charcoal.

One couple was given one site for their first night and then asked to move, without advance warning at check in, per convenience of management. It’s a lot of work to set alone camp, let alone having to do it again.

It felt campers were nickled and dimed at pricey rates for ice, wood, etc., and even the fee to swim in the pool. There are signs everywhere reminded the visitor that this or that is extra.

The facility feels like it was built in 1960 and not maintained since. The camp bathroom/shower was filthy, and the though if using it made us fell dirtier than clean. I’m pretty adaptable, I live my showers, but skipping the shower seems like a good option.

The geothermal swimming pool was nice. It was really warm—like a mild hot tub or super warm bath. There are hot mineral baths that we didn’t try because they cost even more than it cost us to swim in the pool.

I would like the campground a lot more if they reinvested at least a portion of all those fees into their facility to maintain the premises.

While totally not the fault of management, the campground can be subject to really high winds. During our stay a full night and day of high winds caused many tents to completely collapse. Be advised so you can be prepared.

Would I go back? Maybe.

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.

Just 20 minutes to Shoshone Falls, clean, spacious, pool, and a bit noisy from kids in the pool.

We stayed here to visit Shoshone Falls and it worked out great. Some cows to the North of the park and semi busy road to the East. Bathrooms in good shape.

Standard KOA facilities (access to family style bathrooms, wifi, laundry room, etc). Only one of the tent sites in our lot had electricity and water. Very close to the town of Twin Falls, and near Shoshone falls (wonderful site!).

This is probably one of the fanciest camping sites I’ve ever been too. Definitely not as “in nature” as I’m used to but still a really cool experience. I paid 38 for one night for me and my 2 dogs. They had lots of social areas around and lots of variety between RVs, tent sites, and cabins but the tent camping sites were pretty tightly packed together. I like to sit out and read with my lanterns by the fire once the sun goes down and I ended up having to move into my tent to read because the site next to me was too bright from my lanterns and I felt bad. Other than that, they had an adorable gift shop and frozen yogurt night was happening during my visit. There are bathrooms with showers available. And a store to purchase anything and everything you may need from shampoo to firewood to food to cook as well as souvenirs. All together great experience and I would definitely camp again!

Cons: Sites are small and very crammed together, no privacy and it is right off the freeway so you hear a lot of traffic depending on your site. I didn’t mark it down for this, as it is a style of camping that some people prefer.

Pros: Lots to do for young children with a large playground, two shallow (2-3ft?) small outdoor pools, one with a water slide (swim and use at your own risk, not attended), putt putt golf (water slide and putt putt extra charge), and snack bar (not well supplied, but probably due to covid). It’s a short 15ish minute drive to Shoshone falls and Dierkes Park which is also a nice perk. Friendly staff.

There is a lot of potential at this place. (Was here during covid so not sure what is normal vs changed due to covid). If this place stocked their market like a KOA, fixed up their outdoor amenities a little nicer (like the little kid pool that is out of commission by the water slide), fixed the outdoor speakers by the pool, cleaned up the putt putt, and had some more dense tree coverage between them and the freeway it would have been a 5 star review.

Great hot spring camp site. They have different pools of varying temperatures, alligators, trees and plenty of room for each site. I stop by every time I swing through Idaho.

We arrived late and left early. Tent sites are all grass, with plenty of space. Lots of activities.

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. Otherwise, a great and friendly KOA with a very nice pool.

Can’t explain it but I just love this campsite. Not the biggest or best KOA I’ve been too but the mixture of the friendly staff, clean campsites, and cool little gift shop just gets me! Stay here you won’t regret it!

It is well kept and the deluxe sites have a nice BBQ, slide love seat, and fire pit. It is a bit cold to use any of them this time of year, but it is still nice.

Nice easy to get to off the Highway. Easy after hours check-in.

It’s nice except for the fact it backs up to a literal junk yard. The showers are great and the staff were amazing but meh. But it’s close to the falls and you can take a drive to balanced rock.

My first KOA stop didn’t disappoint. Bathrooms were great - individual rooms with toilet and shower for excellent privacy. They all kind of smelled like cat littler which was a little strange, but otherwise they were clean and sufficient. Hookups worked great. Check-in after hours was a breeze, they left me a packet with my name and site info on it. They also provided text messaging support before and during our stay. Would stay here again. The only negative was that the sites were very close to each other, not a lot of privacy, but we were just passing through for one night. Also, this place is a haven for birds. If you hate the sound of birds chirping, you may not like this campground. I’ve never seen so many birds and bird nests! So cute.

A nice place to stop overnight. Spots are tight with only a few feet between push outs. There are a lot of birds nesting in the park and they were very noisy in the morning.

The staff is outstanding, the facility is clean and attractive, the prices are reasonable. We will definitely be back.

We really have enjoyed staying here. Kids love all the games mini golf, gaga ball and toys. We enjoyed the wildlife and hearing and seeing a huge owl outside our camp was a great touch. Spots were a little uneven and made our stairs a lot higher then we like.

We camped our RV here in mid September. Weather was pleasant, staffs friendly, good wifi connection. Clean grounds. No traffic noise. Close to freeway.

We stopped here during a road trip and it was a good choice. This is a pretty standard KOA experience.

Good:

• Easy on and off the highway. Including a convenient gas station when leaving in the morning.
• Easy access to restaurants in Twin Falls
• Clean campground
• Very nice and clean bathrooms
• Great staff who moved us to a better site even though we were just overnighting
• Near the falls if you want to visit

Okay:

• As expected, the sites are a bit tight. At least in the RV section.
• A bit of road noise from the highway and the road it’s on
• Some cow pastures in the area, so there was occasional aroma
• Pretty windy the night we visited
