    Wakeside Lake RV Park

    Nice RV park

    It's on Wakeside Lake in Rexburg. The lake is good for boating, or if you have a paddle board that would be fun. The sites are level gravel and full hookups, 30 Amp. Most sites are shades.

    Nice laundry facility, bathrooms and showers.

    They have glamping tents, and cabins available on Airbnb

    Beaverhead National Forest Price Creek Campground

    In love with this national forest!

    Lovely camp grounds, this was a last minute decision and so glad we stayed here. Nice level spot with picnic table and fire pit. Bathrooms with pit toilets but no running water or showers. No hookups...Plenty of spots available and it was peaceful. We like to be spread out from our neighbors and you are here!

    It is also close to Coolidge ghost town if you want to check it out. That is ultimately what brought up out this way and what a neat place to hike!

    Grand View Campground (Targhee NF)

    Small but grand

    This little campground, only 9 sites, is very well kept and in a wonderful location. The Tetons are about an hour away and West Yellowstone is about the same distance. Not to mention Lower Mesa Falls is only 100 or so yards from the closest campsite. Upper Mesa Falls is just up the road as well making this a great jumping off point for almost any adventure. In regards to the actual campground, there are sites with electrical hookups and spots large enough to fit two RVs. There is also fire pits, tables, water, restrooms, and even bug traps. Since the site is so small there is also not much noise except for a car driving by every now and then. Overall, a wonderful place to stay.

    Riverside Campground

    Good stop off

    Riverside Park Campground, Irwin, Idaho

    In Caribou-Targhee NF/Palisades Wilderness near Bridger- Teton NF. This is a first come , no reservation campground, at the foot of Palisades Dam on Snake River. We arrived around 2 pm and the sites were mostly empty. Several others arrived around 6 pm. This is a good campground for fishermen/women, the lower sites are right on the river. There is a boat ramp right across the road. There is paddle information near the boat ramp also. The only electric sites are on the upper half. The rest are basic sites. All have fire pits, picnic tables and a multi purpose metal platform. Gravel/dirt pads that are level. There are several pit toilets and dumpsters throughout . No trails , but there are several trailheads nearby. Other then fishing there is not much else to do at this campground, however it would be a good starting off point for hiking adventures. You can not leave your camper/tent overnight, unattended.

    Well developed, easy camping!

    Very well developed campground. Large but doesn’t feel large or crowded. All of the B sites were very nice with tent pads and well built fire pits. Bathrooms were sufficient and convenient, as was potable water. Had plenty of cell service on Verizon. Gas station and store only a few minutes away.

    B11 was a quick walk down to the river. There isn’t a trail or anything along the river but it looks like a nice place to fish - some people were fishing out of it further up along the campground. There’s a little road noise from highway 20, but in such a convenient location, that’s what you get. Would definitely stay here again!

    One of my favorites! Take it from a religious camper

    This is a busy campground. It is perfect for floating, fly fishing, and ATV riders. I even got some good mountain biking in. There is a canoe/float rental right next door. Despite all the activity - the sites feel more secluded than most camp grounds and are nothing less than relaxing! No showers but there are bear boxes every couple of spots and running water. Pit toliets and we paid $15/night. Only planned on staying one night - ended up staying two!

    Henrys Lake State Park Campground

    A + Campground

    The campground has alot of spots available for tent and rv campers. They also have a few cabins as well. The cabins just have beds in them and no other amenities. The bathrooms were the cleanest ive ever seen for a campground to include their showers. The water is great for drinking and the lake is easy to access from 80% of the camping spots. They have pavilions for picnics and large areas for dogs and kids to play. The water on the south side of the lake by the dock is Shallow for quite a ways so swimming with kids is doable. The lake is forgiving for kayaks and other small watercraft until the wind picks up then it can be dangerous. The staff was awesome, they had bear bins for your trash and the park was well maintained. If your looking for a nice getaway give this park a shot, you won't be disappointed.

    Nice campground, great pool!

    This was a great campground, that’s pretty close to Yellowstone. Our kids loved the pool. We didn’t love our campsite. The fire pit was awkwardly close to the site next to us.


Guide to Spencer

Riverside Campground sits 20 miles northeast of Spencer, Idaho, at an elevation of approximately 5,200 feet along the Snake River. The area experiences warm summer days with temperatures in the 80s and cool nights dropping into the 40s. Dispersed camping is allowed in many areas of the Caribou-Targhee National Forest with most sites requiring campers to be at least 100 feet from water sources and 300 feet from developed recreation areas.

What to do

Fly fishing access points: Henry's Lake State Park Campground provides direct lake fishing access with mountain views. Site accessibility makes getting gear to fishing spots easier. "Very close to other places to visit; Yellowstone NP, Mesa Falls, Harriman State Park, Earthquake Lake, Big Spring, really to many to list," notes James S.

Riverside hiking trails: Upper Coffee Pot features riverside trails for exploring the Henry's Fork. "There is a trail head by our site (site 3) that goes for miles (min elevation gain) along the River. Not to be missed. The bird watching in this location is amazing," writes Rebeca H.

Lake activities beyond fishing: Beaverhead National Forest Wade Lake Campground and Picnic Area offers turquoise waters perfect for paddling. "Turquoise waters and white sandy beaches – surrounded by mountains in the middle of Montana, this place has absolutely stunning scenery," shares Aspen K., noting rental options at the marina for kayaks and paddleboards.

What campers like

Secluded riverside sites: Riverside Campground offers spacious riverfront camping with natural buffers between sites. "Good forestry in between sites. Lower A loop is closer to the river. A bit buggy mid summer but tolerable," explains Erik B.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Riverside areas provide excellent wildlife observation chances. Nancy C. reports, "When we were there, it was the first spring hatching of the mosquitoes. In other places, it was swarms of them! Not here. At least, not on the loop close to the river."

Diverse accommodation options: Buffalo Campground features well-spaced sites accommodating various camping styles. "My stay here was just for one night in August but it is a great relaxing place. During the day you could here the highway a little but it wasn't something that I could here often," writes Dan S.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Most glamping experiences near Spencer operate May through October, with June featuring wildflower displays. "You may wake up to the sound of a cattle herd in the area and use caution on the curvy mountain road cause it is open range," warns Angela G. about Price Creek Campground.

Reservation requirements: Flat Rock Campground operates on a first-come basis with electric hookups available. "We pulled in and was greeted right away by the camp host who directed us to an open spot. We had a site with an electric hook up for $26 a night," reports Brianna W.

Weather preparedness: Mountain weather can change rapidly with temperature swings of 40+ degrees between day and night. "Be advised that the winds can be very strong there, so make sure you stake your tents well," reports one camper about sites near Henry's Lake.

Tips for camping with families

Child-friendly exploration areas: Several campgrounds offer specific areas designed for children to explore safely. "Very well developed campground. Large but doesn't feel large or crowded. All of the B sites were very nice with tent pads and well built fire pits," notes Megan about Buffalo Campground.

Lake access for children: Wakeside Lake RV Park provides family-friendly glamping with lake activities. "A very simple RV park, nice shade, easy to access beach on a manmade lake. Staff was super helpful," shares Jack Adrian L., though noting the lack of playground facilities.

Spacious sites for family setups: Many campgrounds offer large sites accommodating multiple tents or family equipment. "This campground had everything we needed and could easily accommodate two tents and a camper. We had a spot right on the river and felt like we had the place to ourselves," remarks J.H.

Tips from RVers

Hookup availability: Electric hookups are available at select campgrounds, though 30-amp service is most common. "The full service spots are a nice size with a great view of the lake. It does get windy at times. A true gem," says Robert Z. about sites at Henry's Lake.

Accessibility considerations: Access roads vary widely in quality around Spencer. "I really enjoyed this campground. The bugs were pretty aggressive in the afternoon but improved after a small storm passed. The sites are large and level, easily accessible for even large RVs," notes Angela G.

Water access limitations: Many glamping sites near Spencer have water fill stations rather than individual hookups. "Website say water filling station. There is none and mosquitos are real bad. Sites are good though," reports G.L. about one location, highlighting the importance of arriving with filled tanks.
