The Best Camping Near American Falls, Idaho

So, this campground is a bit flat, and just no character to it. Just plain. Luckily it’s right near the water. They do have bathrooms and showers. Small place to eat and walking distance to the water to swim in. This I see as a day trip..

A Last Resort

This was a great place to ride bikes or walk trails. Right on the lake with wide open grass to play ball etc.... beautiful and peaceful 

This campground has plenty of trees, and shade and access to the reservoir. Boat launches.

Very nice campground 

The lake was very low. It seemed high at 48 dollars' The park is beautiful and the owner(manager) is just wonderful.  

It is beautiful 

We stopped her in October and  the water level was extremely low.   The boats were dry docked and could not access the marina.  We chose this campground because we wanted to visit American Falls, which we did.  The area was beautiful, but there was not enough water to create a fall.  

The campground is very peaceful with very large spaces and well kept.   We has a large grass area with a picnic table and fire pit, fires were prohibited while we were there because of the low water conditions.  Behind our space was the river/lake area that was dry.   Still the park had great views of the mountains and was very pretty.   There are many trails around for bike riding or off road vehicles.   

The sites are full hook up, there is a bath/shower house and a laundry.  The staff is very helpful.  We were a bit early and when we arrived Jason was mowing our space.  It was completed very quickly.  There are restaurants in town about 5-10 minutes away and a grocery.  Wifi was excellent on T-Mobile and Visible.

Nice Location

The restrooms are very old and not very inviting (a lot worse than most of the state parks I‘ve visited), shower door didn‘t lock, water was rarely warm and in the men‘s shower there was no light. 
Construction work began in the early morning, which was much noisier than the nearby railroad..

Basic and noisy - needs an update

The leaves were out on the trees, the water level had returned and the park was enjoyable.  The staff was very helpful in getting us to our pull-thru.  Had a restful night
