Guide to Spencer

Camping near Spencer, Idaho, offers a mix of beautiful scenery and outdoor activities. Whether you're in a tent or an RV, there are plenty of campgrounds to choose from, each with its own unique charm.

What to do:

  • Explore ATV trails: Stoddard Creek Campground is a hit for those who love off-roading. One camper mentioned, “Great clean well spaced CG. Some reserved sites and some drop-in sites. Accommodate large RVs.” If you’re into hiking, the trails here are mostly ATV paths, so be prepared for that.
  • Fishing and kayaking: At Henrys Lake State Park Campground, you can enjoy bird watching and kayaking. A visitor shared, “We also enjoyed bird watching and kayaking. Of course, our main point of the visit was Yellowstone not very far away.”
  • Wildlife viewing: The Upper Lake Campground is perfect for spotting wildlife. One reviewer said, “What a treat to drive through Centennial Valley and get to camp in this great spot. Views all around and to wake up to a Trumpeter Swan swimming right off our campsite was awesome.”

What campers like:

  • Clean facilities: Campers appreciate the cleanliness of the sites. A review for Riverside Campground noted, “This is a beautiful campground, it's next to the river, lots of trees and everything is green. I'd go back again.”
  • Spacious sites: Many campgrounds, like Buffalo Campground, offer roomy spots. One camper mentioned, “Our spot was very spacious and had some cover from the Aspen and Pine trees.”
  • Quiet atmosphere: Campers enjoy the peacefulness of places like Egin Lakes. A visitor remarked, “Beautiful campground just off of I-15. Campground was very quiet and surprisingly green for August.”

What you should know:

  • Limited amenities: Some campgrounds, like Warm Slough, have basic facilities. A camper noted, “There are 2 pit toilets. The one at the front is truly disgusting. The one further in by the boat launch is clean, but no TP.”
  • Road conditions: Accessing some campgrounds can be tricky. One reviewer for Targhee Creek mentioned, “The road was a bit rough but we were able to find a spot along it each night.”
  • Mosquitoes: Be prepared for bugs, especially in the summer. A camper at Henrys Lake BLM Dispersed said, “The lake was swarming with non-biting midges. They were quite literally everywhere.”

Tips for camping with families:

  • Choose spacious sites: Look for campgrounds with larger sites, like Redrock RV Park. One family shared, “The sites are pretty close together, so try to get an end site to have more yard area.”
  • Plan for activities: Bring fishing gear or kayaks, especially if you're near lakes. A visitor at Henrys Lake State Park Campground mentioned, “Wish we had more time to spend here but had a wonderful evening with the views and space.”
  • Pack bug spray: With the presence of mosquitoes, it’s wise to have repellent on hand. A camper at Targhee National Forest Warm River Campground advised, “Definitely coming back. Oh and don’t forget that mosquito repellent!”

Tips from RVers:

  • Check for hookups: Some campgrounds, like Buffalo Campground, have electric hookups, while others do not. A reviewer noted, “Some sites have electrical hookups. Ours didn't but the weather was perfect and we didn't need AC at all.”
  • Be mindful of noise: Campgrounds can get noisy, especially during peak times. One camper at Targhee National Forest Warm River Campground said, “We also had a bad run (three days) of loud neighbors that made it unbearable.”
  • Plan your route: Some GPS systems may lead you astray. A visitor at Warm Slough advised, “Pro tip: don’t try to find this location using Apple Maps. Google Maps will take you straight to the actual site.”

Camping near Spencer, Idaho, has something for everyone, from families to RV enthusiasts. Just be prepared for the unique quirks of each campground!
