Best Campgrounds near Saint Anthony, ID

665 Reviews

Saint Anthony, Idaho provides access to multiple camping environments, from sand dune regions to riverside sites. The area includes Egin Lakes Campground near the Saint Anthony Sand Dunes, which supports both tent and RV camping with electrical hookups. Warm Slough offers free primitive camping along Henry's Fork with picnic tables and fire rings. Several locations accommodate cabin stays, including Jolley Camper RV & Cottages and Wakeside Lake RV Park, which also features glamping options and yurt accommodations. Most campgrounds have toilets, though amenity levels vary considerably across locations.

Camping regulations differ between the established campgrounds and dispersed areas. Several campgrounds including Sugar City RV Park and Idaho Dunes RV Park accommodate larger recreational vehicles with full hookups, while others like Eagle Park Campground restrict RV access due to narrow roads and limited turnaround space. The Saint Anthony Sand Dunes region draws significant numbers of OHV enthusiasts, particularly during summer months. Warm Slough has specific seasonal limitations, permitting camping only from October through January with a maximum 10-day stay. One camper noted, "Camping sites are like a parking lot. The tables have wonderful covers over them. We made some great friends though being so close to our neighbors."

Many visitors highlight the region's recreational opportunities, particularly around the sand dunes and water features. Eagle Park Campground sits adjacent to the Teton River with paths for exploration, though some reviewers mention its proximity to a wastewater treatment facility affects the experience when winds shift. Warm Slough camping areas provide direct river access for fishing, kayaking, and floating, with occasional wildlife sightings including moose and deer. The area's mix of developed and primitive camping supports various experience levels. According to one visitor, "We spent 2 nights here in between trips to Yellowstone and Tetons due to winter road closures. Great spot to hang out outside of Rexburg." Campers seeking natural settings should consider Eagle Park Campground, which offers a secluded feel despite being near town, though several reviewers mention it needs maintenance work.

    Grassy Lake Reservoir Dispersed Camping

    Grassy Lake Reservoir Dispersed Campsite

    This spot was STUNNING! We were in a Mercedes sprinter van and easily pulled into the spot. There was a fire ring overlooking the reservoir and sunset was beautiful. The roads to the site were gravel and easily drivable for most rigs. It took about 40 minutes (driving slower). Probably wouldn’t take a large camper because you do have to go down a steep hill with tree coverage to get there. There’s also Flagg ranch campground close by with gas and convenience store. Short drive to both the Tetons and Yellowstone!

    Great spots on beautiful lake

    We got here late at night trying to navigate in the dark. It was pretty easy to find spots on the side of the dirt road. We were met with a lovely surprise with how beautiful the view was in the morning

    Moose Creek Trailhead Dispersed Area

    Chilly in Sept

    Close to the Hwy over Teton Pass; but the last mile is clay road & (b/c of recent rain cell) it coated our vehicle. And, this is the trailhead; we encountered pack horses coming off the trail— they were quick to load & be gone. l””"””””We realized that the site we’d chosen under the trees was rather chilly, especially with the retreating sun. (Elevation was not totally realized by us since it was rather gradual.). We moved to where the horse trailer had been parked in a site w/ turn-around and were cosy ‘til the sun retreated. Temps estimated in 30s overnight. There was 1 other campervan using this area but then a couple passenger cars came in later.

    Targhee National Forest Warm River Campground

    Right by the river

    Our spot was right next to a wide, shallow spot of the river which the kids absolutely loved. They enjoyed floating and wading in spite of the cold water. The back of the RV pad was wearing out but it wasn't too big of a deal for us. Kids also enjoyed riding scooters around the place.

    The camp host was super friendly and warned us about possible skunks since we had our dog with us. We kept her on leash and it wasn't an issue. The host also included some firewood for us which was nice too.

    Grassy Lake Rd — John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Memorial Parkway

    Grassy Lake Road

    There are only 20 camping sites along the road. Some are set up for dual occupancy. We stayed at campsite 6 which was a single camp spot. Can easily fit multiple vehicles. Very quiet with the occasional vehicle passing by. Small creek buried in the bushes.

    Bonneville County Juniper Campground

    I CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW THE CAMP HOST WAS SO VERY RUDE!

    I CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW THE CAMP HOST WAS SO VERY RUDE! The grounds were fine, but the incident that occurred at Juniper Campground in Ririe, Idaho, on the evening of Saturday, September 13, 2025 left a very bitter taste in our mouths about the trip. What was intended to be a joyful family outing turned into a distressing experience due to the conduct of the camp host. My father-in-law and his wife had made a reservation at Juniper Campground for the weekend and invited my family to join them--myself, my two sons, and our grandchildren. We were all excited to spend quality time together and to try out our newly purchased travel trailers. As first-time trailer owners, this was meant to be a fun and educational experience before the camping season ended. Unfortunately, I had previously purchased concert tickets for an event at Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls scheduled for Saturday evening. My sons and I decided to briefly leave the campground to attend the concert and return afterward. We left in the early evening and returned around 10:20 PM. Upon arrival, we found the second entry gate--through which we had originally entered--locked with a padlock. We then drove to the first gate, which had rising arms and red LED lights, but it did not respond. I exited the vehicle to search for an intercom or manual override, but found none. While attempting to look up a contact number, a white truck with an orange cone in the back approached rapidly. The driver, who identified himself as the camp host, immediately confronted me in an aggressive and profane manner. He shouted,"What the hell are you doing at my gate?" I calmly explained that we were campers returning from a concert and were trying to re-enter the campground. He responded with hostility, saying,"The gates are locked at 10 PM. Didn't you read the rules?" I replied that we had not received any rules, as my 78-year-old father-in-law had checked in first and inadvertently failed to pass them along while we were focused on setting up our trailers. The host continued to berate me, accusing me of lying and using profanity such as"Bullsh*t, everybody receives the rules." When asked for our campsite number, I was momentarily unsure, as my father-in-law had directed us to our spot upon arrival. While I searched for the information, the host continued to question our motives, saying,"Why are you leaving and returning to the campsite this time of night?" I explained our concert plans, only to be met with further disbelief and ridicule. He mocked my Van Halen t-shirt and claimed,"Nobody goes camping to leave for a concert," and"Those bands sucked. The last time I saw Van Halen was in 1979." At this point, I attempted to clarify our situation, but the host warned me that if I raised my voice, he would not allow us back into the campground. After locating a screenshot of our reservation details, I showed it to him. He finally allowed us entry and handed me a printed copy of the rules, stating,"Next time, read the rules." This interaction left me feeling humiliated, belittled, and treated as though I were a criminal. The camp host's behavior was not only unprofessional but bordered on harassment. I understand the importance of rules and quiet hours, but they should be enforced with courtesy and respect--not hostility and profanity. I am deeply disappointed by this experience and will not be returning to Juniper Campground. I'm leaving this review to ensure others are aware of the treatment we received. Guests deserve to feel safe and welcomed--not intimidated or verbally abused.
