Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Soda Springs, ID

Campsites are a little close with no privacy and there are no sewer connections at the individual sites. There are two dump sites on the backside of the store. Pretty much gravel throughout with some grass at the smaller sites. Amenities: kids playground area with grass, a small fenced dog park, horseshoes, picnic table at each site (no fire pits at the pull through sites). Inside the store: pool table, table tennis, and a foosball table. Overall a good clean campsite to hold you over for a day or two.

This 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!

Meticulously cared for family owned and run campground with log cabins. Many pros to this campground... Nice wide sites, most pull through, clean showers and laundry room. The people who run it are super friendly and helpful. Great liquor store and great food truck attached to the grounds. great hook ups, reception and even better WiFi. Only cons are that it is just off Hwy 89, but you don't hear road noise at night. No dog park and is over an hour to Grand Teton and Jackson Hole. We did find great hiking only a few minutes from the campground. We would definitely recommend this place. The owners are constantly out doing improvements, which impressed us a great deal

This KOA has mature trees and gravel rv pads. The sites are mostly level, but may need one block to be completely level. All the sites seem to fill up every night. (Mid-end of May). It’s down in a slight valley so the wind does not hit the campground as hard. The dog park is fairly small, but allows your furry friend to get off of their leash and stretch their legs. The bathrooms are decent- however one of the showers does not lock, and one of the toilet stalls does not either. Campground internet has been sufficient throughout our week. Would stay here again on our way to and from destinations.

This used to be open camping in a field but they have recently fenced it in, leaving just 8 camping spots, fairly close together. This is a popular place with full-time nomads. We came on a Thursday morning in late September and there were only two spots left. The river is beautiful, and only about 30 yards away, but not actually visible from the campsites. The KOA, just before the turn off, will let you fill your water tank for free but they charge $10 for a dump. Lava is just minutes away with shops, restaurants, grocery stores etc. The highlight are the hot mineral pools, which are open until 11 PM and are amazing, especially in the evenings in the cooler weather.  Lots to do in the area, there’s a ghost town 30 minutes to the north, a reservoir and soda Springs to the east. The one downside are the trains that pass by a few times a day, and even 1 or 2 at night. They are required to sound their horn’s at the crossing which can be annoying, but not a dealbreaker. Otherwise very quiet.

Great pull-through and the back-in spots are beautiful. Kid, pet friendly, walking distance to food and fun. One of the best KOA’s we have stayed at.

The people, bathrooms, and showers are all awesome. There is some road noise but not more than you’d get anywhere else. LOTS of shade, right next to the river, pet friendly, and cabins are also able to be rented! Would definitely come here again.

Host is amazing! Campgrounds are good sizes and accommodates Travel trailers and fifth wheels. Does have group camping. No water hookup, no electricity and no showers. There is noises from the vehicles on the road nearby. It is close to the roads. Pet friendly.

Bathrooms and showers are very clean, some sites are widely space, but some are crammed together, otherwise, a typical KOA.  EXCEPT it is expensive and they add on extra fees for people, pets, and vehicles; never stayed at a KOA that does this.  Oh, the road noise is pretty bad also.

Ultimate lake camping; bring your boat for wakeboarding, tubing, or just relaxing. Even human powered vehicles can be enjoyed; especially close to shore. So much to explore! There are so many places to get out and camp, many of these dispersed camping areas include vault toilets at the entrances, although not much else besides a boat ramp. Some of them are better than others, so be sure to check it out before launching your boat. The ground near the reservoir can get very silty and muddy if there has been recent wet weather, you risk getting your vehicle stuck if you back in too far. Even the dirt roads can get that way - but pay attention and you'll be fine. There were several toy haulers and RVs that made it in and made it out without incident; my group managed to get in and out ok too. 

In late May, it still gets cold at night yet there are mosquitos in this marshy area. They're not too bad, but if you're sensitive to the bites be prepared. I was fine in long sleeves and pants, they mostly left me alone. Fires are allowed most of the time, unless there is a red flag warning. Its your responsibility to know what isn't allowed, there are typically signs posted at the entrances if there are restrictions. Pets are fine too. I think the camping limit was 14 days, but that may have been at the site we chose. Others may be less. 

We stayed at one of very many sites along the reservoir. With 70 miles of shoreline, you're bound to have your own unique experience.

I would stay here again if it wasn’t so expensive. The $20 fee per dog per night is the kicker for me. So four our 3 dogs at $20 per night added $120 to our 2 night stay, and they charge this even if you stay in a tent which I think is ridiculous.

I brought my dog here and he swam and it was great. beautiful weather and tons of space. There’s some different turn offs of that main road for the beach. 100% come again

Nice 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!

Staff will help ensure a relaxing stay. Pool is heated but not hot, due to being in the trees there is a few floating items but gets cleaned every day. Creek runs through the front of camp. You can fish in it. Playground is adequate for children. Plenty of dog runs.

There's one old guy who goes around complaining and ruining people's good time, but everyone is so friendly, I was able to take my dogs and its so nice! The water is gorgeous, it's so relaxed. Im in love with this place.

We stayed for 7 days. We stayed in the parking lot area as the campground was blocked by the snow mountains.

There was no verizon signal at all where we stayed, but starlink worked well.

Plenty of snowmobiles coming everyday along with locals walking their dogs

We absolutely loved staying this park. The park is very well maintained. The restrooms, showers, campgrounds, and park area for the kids were in amazing condition. It was a great location and the lake is not far away. I recommend paying a little extra to get the deluxe sites to have more space. You also have to pay $5 extra per dog that you bring.

Nice little campground with plenty of space between campsites.  Kids and dogs had fun playing in the nearby creek (water is very cold), with lots of great hiking opportunities. 

I had no problems pulling my 26' TT into here, but I don't know if I would attempt to bring anything in much larger than that.

Added bonus, there were a lot of wild strawberries and raspberries in the area.
