1 campground with availability this weekend
Antelope Reservoir, a free BLM campground near Jordan Valley, welcomes pets at its lakeside campsites. The campground features 4-5 designated spots with picnic tables, fire rings with BBQ grills, and vault toilets. Sites are nicely spaced for privacy, providing ample room for campers with dogs to set up. Sunny Ridge RV Park accepts pets throughout its facility, offering full hookup sites with water, electric, and sewer connections. The sites include concrete pads surrounded by grass areas where pets can relax. The campground stays relatively quiet despite being close to Highway 95, making it suitable for dogs sensitive to noise. Recent visitors noted the RV park is under new management and features clean facilities with large, easy pull-through sites ideal for big rigs traveling with pets.
Dog owners camping in the area should be prepared for the desert environment. The reservoir attracts migrating birds including Canadian geese and pelicans, which can provide interesting wildlife viewing for campers and their pets. Succor Creek State Natural Area permits pets throughout its camping areas but requires them to remain on leash when outside vehicles. The area offers multiple dispersed camping options with existing fire rings where pet owners can find privacy away from other campers. Weather considerations are important when camping with pets in this region - summer temperatures can be extremely hot with limited shade available at most sites, and flies can be abundant during warmer months. Visitors should bring plenty of water for themselves and their pets, as drinking water is not available at many of the dispersed camping locations.
"Pulled into Jordan Valley super late and there is no Verizon service anywhere around there. Ended up boondocking in town next to some semis in an empty lot then came here the next day."
"Right next to the reservoir. Mainly a large parking lot with picnic tables and fire rings. There are about 3-4 spots and a large parking lot. There is one bathroom and no water."
"Great launch place for visiting interesting areas nearby."

"Turn on the dirt road left just as you are nearing the Oregon State Line. If you crossed over the line, turn around."
"Upon further investigation with the great "theDyrt" app, I see that we should have approached from the south of Jordan Valley on Danner Loop Road off of the 95 highway, and then north on Lower Cow Creek"
"It is awesome for having little bon fires, or just cat fishing in the Snake river."
"It is remote and wild with non-stop views from every site and many outdoor activities nearby."

"Located just a 40 minute drive from the city of Boise, this campground is the perfect quick getaway."
"Great scenery and easy access to needed amenities. We pulled in setup camp could fish, hike, and enjoy other activities within minutes."
"We stopped here for a break in the drive and considered dropping anchor for the night. Unfortunately we got a creepy vibe when we were getting food at gas station on the other side of the river."
"Coming in after dark it was a little confusing where the camping was but we quickly realized that you park next to the rocks separating the parking lot from the picnic tables and fire rings."
"this is an Old Stage Stop where they would leave feed up on top of the rocks and other supplies to keep them away from animals in Indians the location I have shared is the location of the old hotel. look"
"Nice flat spot with a wide view all around. Its got a few old headstones from the 1800's. Was easily accessible with a 2wd sedan. Good sleeping surface despite dead grass."
"We loved ours next to the river. It was private, moderately screened from the road, and best of all, away from other campers!"
"Located at the southern end of Succor Creek State Natural Area, close to the boundary with BLM land. 1/10th of a mile from Succor Creek Road."
GuideSomewhat busy site lots of traffic from ATV and side by sides to 4×4 vehicles climbing the mountains. Plenty of room and plenty of sites to accommodate everyone. The sunrise and sunset views are amazing and there are trails to hike for days.
GuideStopped in for an overnight on a trip from MT to NV. Quiet and peaceful. Just with there was more water.
GuideThis is such a nice place, the river is accessible at many points near camp, the spots are big and maintained, toilets clean, there’s a little floating dock, and the birds of prey reserve is there. Plus the museum area walking distance from camp is really neat. There’s no shade at all. We were roasting in 100 degree plus weather and had to leave. Otherwise it would have been super if it had a little shade relief.
ScoutJust beautiful. Clean out toilets. Picnic tables and bbq fire pits. Excellent spot to put in a kayak and fish.
ScoutCamp area,fire pit, table, bathrooms, birdz dive bombing u (protecting their nests) actually way better than I thought it would be
ScoutIts great someone before me left wood. Its good. tables, scenic near a lake, bathrooms, not busy at all
TravelerBeautiful views. We stayed on the rim and the wind was bearable but the flies were not. I’m not exaggerating when I say there were HUNDREDS of flies inside our van within minutes of arriving. Outside was no better. 10+ on your body at all times all the way until 10pm in July. If you just need a place to park for the night and plan to stay inside your camper this place would be ok. But if you like me enjoy being outside, I don’t recommend this spot.
TravelerThis place is a gem! Camping is only $5 a night and the sites are very nice. The only thing lacking is shade, but you have access to the snake river, which in the summertime, is very refreshing. There is also a trail that goes for miles along the river, passing many archaeological sites.
GuideVery nice established sites with trash service and restrooms at the boat ramps. Sites are just about right on the water and each has a fire pit and table.

"Really stunning location with plenty of spots to camp most of the time, although I can see it being hard to find a good spot during holiday weekends," notes Alex B. The area features interesting geological formations to explore.
Wildlife viewing: Swan Falls - Idaho Power offers excellent bird watching opportunities. "There are plenty of activities here, not to mention the fact that this canyon was carved out by a massive flood about 15,000 years ago when the Bonneville Lake emptied. And if you are into watching Birds of Prey, hearing coyotes yipping at night and having rabbits running around, as well as some deer cruising the area, this is a nice place," explains Daren C.
Fishing access: The Snake River provides good fishing opportunities. "Fishing was awesome. I caught quite a few smallies, but they were on the smaller side. Still fun to catch," reports Ed E. about Swan Falls. Bring appropriate tackle and check local regulations before fishing.
Remote location: Antelope Reservoir offers a peaceful setting away from crowds. "View is gorgeous and it's perfectly quiet. Road leading in is gravel but extremely well packed down. I was the only one here but there's fire pits and enough room for bigger rigs," writes Haley S.
Stargazing opportunities: Celebration Park provides excellent night sky viewing. "Delightful getaway...I recommend taking a hike at dark across the bridge and up the Mesa and stargaze," suggests Meredith S. The remote location means minimal light pollution.
Historic sites: The Rock Stage Stop - BLM Dispersed offers camping near historic ruins. "This is an Old Stage Stop where they would leave feed up on top of the rocks and other supplies to keep them away from animals in Indians. The location I have shared is the location of the old hotel. Look to your right as you pull in and you can't miss the remains," explains Fishin' R.
Weather considerations: Temperatures fluctuate dramatically in this desert environment. "Hot though!!!!" warns Jill R. about Owyhee River Put In. Summer days can exceed 100°F while nights cool significantly.
