These cozy yurts offer a blend of rustic charm and comfort with traditional canvas and wood construction while providing picnic tables and firewood for outdoor enjoyment.

The area surrounding these glamping sites offers excellent recreational opportunities with hiking trails, fishing spots, and seasonal activities depending on when you visit. A recent visitor mentioned, "Clean facilities, secure bathrooms and showers. The lakeside location and walking trails are beautiful. Feels like living outside of town but still close to everything town offers." Most glamping accommodations in the area are reservable in advance, which is recommended particularly during peak season from late spring through early fall. While the glamping sites provide various amenities, guests should check specific offerings at each location as they differ in terms of drinking water availability, shower facilities, and other comfort features that enhance the upscale camping experience.

Rivers Edge RV Park
Camping with a River View
This summer we tried Rivers Edge Rv Park for the first time and had a great experience. On our drive up to Pacific Northwest in early August we did tent camping here and in late September we tried the cabins along the river. Wonderful quiet location, good hosts and amazing sunsets on the Snake River. If you stay in the cabins, just a note that this is a place where you need to bring your own bedding and kitchen items, however there is a hot plate and sink, plus a microwave. The ladder steps up to the bedroom was an adventure in itself😛 No bathrooms in the cabin, but there is a community bathroom and shower. One star off because the bathroom really does need to be updated. Shower was a bit grungy. But for everything great about this place, I know we will be back!

Rivers Edge RV Park
Would not recommend if you want any piece and quiet!
We arrived for our weekend mid-afternoon on Friday. Parked our trailer in our designated spot in the middle of the grassy area near the horseshoe pits. After unloading, setting up and taking a walk around the park (down to the river, dock, beach area, etc) it became obvious that this was not the place we expected it to be based on other reviews!

We decided to give it some time and benefit of the doubt. Made dinner and ate outside (weather was perfect). During dinner we were treated to the drunken, LOUD ramblings of other campers - complete with foul language at the highest volume possible! Permanent residents at the back of the park left a lot to be desired. Messy camp sites.

There are no hiking trails or places to explore. If you don't have a camp spot right on the water, fishing access is horrible - only super shallow, reed-filled openings. Certainly not what we expected from a riverfront park with great reviews. The fishing dock is a joke, the water near and around the dock is a filthy, grime filled, trash collecting mess!

Tried to get our child to bed before 10pm but was virtually impossible with the level of noise coming from the group area (which was across the park, mind you), not to mention music streaming loudly from several other campers all around. 10pm quiet hour does not seem to matter to the hosts who did nothing to help those of us who expect rules to be followed.

By first thing in the morning, we had found another camp site to flee to and we couldn't get out of there fast enough!

Never again will we be back. Never again.

Beautiful!
Traveling through Idaho and made this reservation online just an hour before arrival. Very simple to reserve.

We have a 38' 5th wheel pulled with a dually pickup. It was a tight fit, but after we were parked, it was awesome. We were in space #5. After unhooking, we did park the pickup across the lane in space they have for extra vehicles. Hook ups were simple. Although the sewer pipe at our site was a little high, so we had to really use risers under our drain pipe to get it to that level. Other sites seemed ground level.

When we left the next morning, we did have to pull out the "entrance" lane, as the angle of the space and smaller area, we couldn't turn sharp enough for the exit lane.

We could watch the sunset over the Snake River from out campsite. No bugs and lots of shade. Quiet campground.......except the duck hunters on other properties.
We didn't use the restrooms, etc. there.

They have very nice metal fire pits and a decent picnic table at each site. If you needed to stay in a cabin, they looked very nice. The larger one with the bathroom, was a beautiful site.

The price was great, especially for full hookups. I wish we could have stayed more than one night.

We would definitely stay there again.

It’s like a dirty dog that badly needs grooming
Reading the other reviews made me a little unsure, but I went for it. The location is outstanding and my site is right on the river. The sites aren’t real obvious so I kind of made it up as I went. There is trash everywhere. The fire pits are all full of trash. And a little mowing or weed eating would help. To be honest, all the campgrounds I’ve been to this trip have been covered in trash and dog feces. It’s obvious service has gone the way of the dinosaurs. Keep your expectations low!!!

Rivers Edge RV Park
Such a DISAPPOINTMENT
The cabin we reserved for two nights was such a disappointment, becasue of the time we arrived we forced ourselves to stay one night. The floors were not clean and sleeping on the bed provided was like sleeping on a pie tin. it crinkled and cracked everytinme you moved. The cabin door you could not lock and the bathroom was unbelievably dirty. The shower was more like a drip.

Friendly convenient stay by the river
Feels like a little oasis tucked in behind the fairground and baseball stadium. The green belt and river run right by it. Super friendly staff. Variety of site types. Excellent laundry and shower facilities open 24/7.

Boise Riverside RV Park
Customer service is really bad
We stayed at this park in Sept 2022. We decided to make a reservation again in 2023 because the best part of this park is you are right next to the green belt. Unfortunately, This place is run with a "like it or not, we don't care" attitude. Toni, who runs the place, has terrible customer service skills and there is no room for negotiation. We made a reservation on Mar 17, 2023 for 8 days in August, 5 months in advance and we cancelled on April 2, 2023, within 2 weeks of making the reservation in the first place. We were required to pay a $300 deposit which is non-refundable. Their non-refundable policy, is to make up for money lost because a site was tied up, but for this reservation it was tied up for only 2 weeks, so I'm pretty certain they didn't lose money. We have tried to reach out to Toni by phone at least 10 times. Once, we even got her husband and he promised us he would have her call us. Nope. Never happened. The customer service rating is because Toni will not return a call and refuses to negotiate. She won't give the common courtesy to work something out with her. She really doesn't care what you think or even your side of the problem. Not a good way to run a business. Like I said, if you ride bikes and like the greenbelt its a okay place to stay but make sure you don't put a $300 deposit down. The entire park is gravel/dirt roads except for some lawn that a few small campspots are on. There are lots of residents staying long term in very old and run down trailers. Kind of junky. Be careful if you decide to stay here and for sure don't make a reservation for more than a couple of days so you don't lose your deposit.

Great area with solid camping arrangements
Staff was super friendly and helpful. Grounds are well kept and river access is abundant. Lots of full timers but all were very nice and willing to chat and interact. Sites were spacious and large trees were in abundance. Grass was well maintained and a slight bit soggy in places, but this did not create any issues. Large pavilion area on the river is great for large groups.

All in all, a very nice location with great staff and large areas to enjoy while on walks or just while sitting back in a lawn chair.

Definitely will visit again!

Caldwell Campground and RV Park
Surprisingly Good
Approx, 10-12 Grassy Tent sites, with shady trees, on a small 6 acre lake with entertaining ducks that do not beg for food. Lol. Lots of RV sites with full hook ups, including, 105 long term users. The showers and toilets were clean with lots of hot water. Laundry room with 6 washers and 6 dryers. A little road noise from l-84. 2 miles from shopping and fuel. Friendly staff. Surprisingly good, as this was our first “private” campground we’ve ever stayed at. $27.00, including tax, per day.
