"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."
"Good:
- Easy on and off the highway. Including a convenient gas station when leaving in the morning."
$20 / night
"OVERVIEW: The RV park is part of the county park- beautiful walking/bike path with the creek flowing through."
"There is disc golf and plenty of hiking trails to walk near a rolling creek. Pit toilets only but sites have water and electricity if needed. Plenty of grass areas and pavilions to use."
"The campsite was convenient for us because it was close to the freeway. On the flip side that comes with vehicle traffic noise. There were places for both RV’s/campers and tents."
"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."
"The campsites are decent size but way to close together where you are basically on top of the camp site next to you."
"We used this more of a dock and boat ramp which gave us access to a great stretch of the Snake River. In the building there is a nice warm pool with slides and rolling logs for the kiddies"
"recently updated- the pools and surrounding areas are well kept. pools feel so good with the different temp areas. staff was friendly but not helpful."
"It is a nice grassy spot behind the bathrooms. The other spots were great for pull-through RV's or tent spots."
"Only complaint was it was hard to spot the entrance at night."
"We were about I hour early and the really nice person at the gate welcomed us and directed us to the Day Use area to wait. Wow! We were blown away."
"Long paved with water and electric on one side and the pick-nik table behind us. It has 1 fire ring/grill in a box area. As crowded as the park seems, it’s very quite."
$20 - $40 / night
"Park right next to your tent.
The bathrooms are locked for paying campers only and have a sink, shower and toilet. Very clean and nice."
"Leashed pets are welcome and mine loves the grass.
The camp spots have fire rings.
I get a tent spot for my rooftop tent and they have flushing toilets, showers, kitchen and laundry onsite."
"A great campground in the South Hills of Idaho that feels like an oasis in the desert! This is one of a few developed campgrounds that you encounter as you head up Rock Creek Rd. "
LegendWe knew it would be hot when we visited this campground, so sprang ($55) for one of the few cabins with air conditioning. It was clean, small, and just fine. But there wasn't too much to do after 5 pm when the visitor center closed. No playground we could find, and the water isn't safe to swim in. Once the visitor center opened up in the morning though, that was an absolute gem. Would probably stay here again but just get a regular camp site. The cabin wasn't really worth it.
LegendWe stayed at Miracle as Banbury was fully booked for RVs sites. However, it was great to be steps away from the river.
No sewage but had electric and water (that leaked; rented spot 4 that many ppl thought was a drive through lane).
No one in their hot springs (including staff) were wearing masks or setting suicidal distant rules. No Verizon reception until you drive up the hill a little bit. Oh, and you'll have a great breeze of manure all day long.
Travelerrecently updated- the pools and surrounding areas are well kept. pools feel so good with the different temp areas. staff was friendly but not helpful.
domes were clean and the bed and bedding was comfortable.
GuideOVERVIEW: The RV park is part of the county park- beautiful walking/bike path with the creek flowing through. Our back in site was nearby our neighbors, but felt spacious because it's an end site directly across from the camp host. Easy to navigate the concreted roads and the space was easy to back in to.
Hard to beat $20 for W&E hookups. It's a quiet campground. Trashcans all around the park conveniently. The area as you drive up seems a bit run down, but as soon as you get into the park, it's great.
There is a free public dump station 1 mile away in town since there is not a dump station on site.
The park has unisex toilets around the grounds that are vault toilets so nothing fancy. Picnic tables, lots of green space around and the trail goes for at least 2 miles round trip.
CELL SERVICE: We work remote- We used out AT&T hotspot and had an awesome connection. Reliable for video calls all week. Gradely harshly, giving 4 out 5, only because they don't have wifi and also ideally would have been nice to have sanitizer(especially this year) in the bathrooms. Everything was was lovely.
GUEST SERVICES: Camphost was super friendly. We came in around 8:30pm on a Monday night with fingers crossed we would find a spot.. and we did with no problem. If it looks full as you enter, keep going past the camphost and you will find the pull thru options. The camp host came over on his gator and shined his lights to help us as we set up. He was very kind.
NEARBY: Close to downtown Twin Falls with some cute coffee shops and breweries. Also about 50 mins away there is a place called Mammoth Cave that might be the most interesting cave experience you ever experience. I highly encourage it.
GuideStandard 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!).

LegendWe originally planned to camp at Three Island state park, based on the positive Dyrt reviews, but when we arrived there, the posted fee for sites was $34, which we found too expensive for our mere purpose of sleeping and then hitting the road again. We remembered a sign on the way to the park that read "Camping - RV + Tents. Less $$$ than state park." So we figured, heck, let's just go there. We read quickly online that the prices for tent sites are $15. Perfect! We arrive at 11pm, which yes, it's late, BUT the office sign was blinking "OPEN." So we thought no problem. We ring the camp host. He sounds grumpy but arrives a couple minutes later. He is definitely grumpy. He tells me they do accept credit card and it will be $25. I ask for clarification given the listed price online. He says "New policy as of 6 days ago. I'm sick of people arriving late at all hours." Fair enough...but turn off the "Open" sign. I agree to pay it, we're exhausted at this point, and at least the campground has showers.
Some pros: very close to highway
Some cons: very close to the highway and a train track.
The tenting experience: we listening all night to the sound of bug zappers, hourly train whistles, and speeding cars. See the video for reference. The tent sites were flat at least. A basic grill but no picnic table provided. It is probably convenient to have the wifi and laundry on-site, but we wouldn't know because we left as soon as we could after a near sleepless night.
GuideTent sites and rv sites available!
Tent sites are on a nice large green patch of grass. Park right next to your tent.
The bathrooms are locked for paying campers only and have a sink, shower and toilet. Very clean and nice.
There is also a locked washroom for paying campers to use as well.
The owners live on site and are very friendly and are happy to help with questions!
Very decently priced when all you need is somewhere to set up your tent for the night and get up and go in the morning. Would also be great for staying longer!
Located in the town of Glenn’s ferry but still far enough away from public so you don’t feel like you’re camping in town.
Restuarants, gas stations and a few convenience stores within a 10 minute drive of the campground.
Interesting history is available to see close to the campground as well. Learn about the Oregon trail!
TravelerThis campground was a nice break after spending the last few nights at Walmart's. Yes, you can hear road noise but still quieter than the city! There were a lot of level spots to chose from and the trees were a welcomed sight in the 90 degree heat.
