    Tripod Reservoir

    Not a camping spot

    The road that the coordinates lead us to was very narrow and rough and ended at a gate just 300 feet from the lake. Fortunately there was a turn around at the gate otherwise we would have been screwed

    Cow Hollow Park

    Looks like a ghost camping spot

    The scenery is gorgeous, but getting a hold of the camp host, good luck. I tried two different numbers and nothing. We even sat around for an hour just waiting for someone. There were like 4 or 5 rv's, but not a single person in site. It has a huge grass area, that when you walk through it you can tell it was a field at one point. There are also good size kind of deep whole all through the grass. There is also two softball fields that are pretty small. It also has a play ground by each field. A bunch of picnic tables. I seen two brick like BBQ station, a horse shoe set up, one fire pit spot. It does have a bathroom, men's acme women's. When you walk in it seems to be decent. The first stall door does not latch closed, the second stall doors but you have to kind of mess with it a little bit. Then you have the shower stall. It's not very wide at all. Pretty dark so it could use better lighting. The first Sexton of it has a wooden table that you can set your stuff down on. After you wipe off all of the spider webs. Then the shower part is a small square that has a curtain. It you ever decide to use the show make sure to wear sandles. Who knows what's bn on the floor. I know that concrete can't rust, but it looks really brown and black. The water pressure isn't all that great. The website says that it's $5 a night, but when you get there it says way different. So it is misleading. It is pretty quite until the farmers and semi drivers are out driving around and working. It says they are supposed to have wifi, not sure about that.

    Old Fort Boise RV Park

    Nice spot

    Great spot to stop for a night or two. The town people are friendly. Great place for kids with the play ground. It has automatic sprinklers in the grass so it's best to put up your tent in the gravel. It has bathrooms with showers. I would recommend to where sandles. While taking a shower

    Frontier Motel and RV Park

    Right in Town, Easy Access to Hells Canyon and Other Destinations

    Frontier Motel and RV Park is more of a motel than an RV park, with only ten spaces behind the motel and in between a public, local road. The motel was fronting Hwy 95 and the RV spaces were one block behind. They have a pool (nice!), laundry and easy town access, since the motel was right in town. The pool wasn’t warm, maybe 75F, but it sufficed for the cool-off need. The town, Cambridge, ID, was a nice, small town, maybe 200 residents. It appears that most of the 10-or-so RV spaces were used by monthly renters, but they had a spot for me and during a holiday weekend. Nice staff. For some reason I couldn't make friends with the black lab (the owner's dog). She's old, doesn't walk that well, but was wary of new people. I did not have any, any negative interactions with her, she just wouldn't let me give her a pet. The three-star rating is that the site location, noise from the highway and the street, and the marginal sewer connection (water/power were fine).

    Snake River RV Resort

    Nice, Relaxing

    I really can't add much more about this place except that I felt relaxed, enjoyed the grass, shade, views and staff friendliness. The other reviews provide all the plusses I would have stated. I added some pictures that hadn't been shared yet.

    Riverside RV Park

    Small, Open, City-Owned

    While staying at another Homedale-local RV park, I found this park while exploring the town. There weren't any reviews, so I thought I'd help out and at least provide some basic information. There are about 10 pull-through sites and a couple back-in sites. All of them have water and 30/50 service. There's a dump station on site for a donation of $5. The site fee is signed as $25/night; it seems that self-registering is the only way, as it also appears to be on a first-come basis. There is a single building with restroom/shower for men & women. Not especially clean though. No laundry, but I saw a laundromat in town. The entire park is gravel, no shade. There's a public road along the river, between the river and Park. It also appears that the riverfront and boat launch are public, and not under any control of the park itself. The City park next door is a gem! Not much shade, but the grass is green and inviting. While I was there, I saw someone throwing Frisbee into baskets mounted on posts throughout the park. Next to the park is the (presumably) high school football/track stadium. I imagine the entire area, from the riverfront, the RV park, stadium and parking lots are all City-owned. I didn't see any camp host, manager or maintenance person, but there were two rigs on site that hadn't moved in a while. If it's City owned, a possibility for questions and issues might be City Hall, in town (3-minute drive from park).

    French Creek Campground

    Great place to stay!

    This was the first time my girlfriend and I go camping! We stayed for a total of 4 days! We stayed in site 6! The place is very well maintained! The bathrooms are very clean! And the most helpful feature is that the campsite has clean running water! Super helpful to clean dishes and wash our hands!

    Caldwell Campground and RV Park

    Very Nice location

    The bathrooms and showers are excellent! Clean, secure. The lakeside location and walking trails are beautiful. Feels like living outside of town but still close to everything town offers.
