  Country Campgrounds

  Good quiet campground

  I am a tent camper and rolled in late at night. There is a registration box and nice tent campgrounds with picnic tables and flat tent sites. It is also very quiet and not to far out of town.

  Caldwell Campground and RV Park

  Decent quick option

  Good site for rv camping but if you're tent camping there are probably better options depending on what you're looking for. The tent sites are super close together and there is alot of highway noise. If you're looking for a quick site with amenities this is good though. It has shade and thats a huge plus.

  Canyon Campground

  Small Campground Near Road and River

  This is a small tent camping campground right off Highway 55 and across the highway from the Payette River.  Lots of shade trees.  No amenities.

  McCormack Campground — Lake Owyhee State Park

  McCormick Campground

  Very nice campground. Well kept and very clean. They also have showers. The camp host was very nice and helpful. It offers both sites with hookups and tent sites as well.

  Farewell Bend State Recreation Area

  Great car camping site

  My only complaint is that you can’t reserve tent sites in advance. Otherwise it is quiet and has some good places to stretch your legs. On the snake River which is nice.

  Swinging Bridge

  Close to Road and River

  This is a small camp ground right off Highway 55 and across the Highway from the Payette river.  Lots of shade trees.  Not a lot of room for larger campers or RVs, mostly geared toward tent camping.  I did not get cell service here.

  Rivers Edge RV Park

  Water as warm as the gulf

  • Tent camping was easy, middle of the campground. I was the only tent, counted 10 RVs. Felt safe. $22
  • Nice owners
  • The water was so warm I swam at midnight! That’s 5 stars. 1/5 for loud sprinklers on all night and It’s farm land so a breeze would bring in the faintest scent of cow manure from time to time

  The drive here is gorgeous! rolling hills, rich farm land, grape vines 20ft high. At sunset it was magical.

  Rivers Edge RV Park

  Best little Campgound in the area!

  Best little Campgound in the area! Sits right on the Snake River, large grassy area with lots of shade, Cabins, tent sites, limited full hookups, electric, covered picnic tables, small boat dock, 2 horseshoe pits excellent catfishing, supplied fire rings (you can buy wood there), they just added a TeePee! The host, Turk, and his wife, Meghan, are absolutely, by far the best camp hosts we've ever dealt with. Dogs are allowed. BEST SUNSETS EVER!

  Farewell Bend State Recreation Area

  Just a Hop Skip and Jump away from Idaho

  Living in Idaho near the border of Idaho, I was looking for a great catfishing spot on the Snake River. I found this campground along the Snake just on the other side of the border - eastern Oregon. The campgrounds are AWESOME!!! The have all the amenities for RV camping. They do have tent camping sites as well. There is some great history of the area and we were appreciative of how the State Park system displayed it. Great fishing for the shore angler as well as boat anglers. I fished from my kayak and caught crappie and catfish as well as some smallmouth bass. I would definitely camp here again. They do have a dump station for RVs as well as restrooms. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table.

  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.

  HellaHot and Dry at end of July!!

  As hard as they tried, it seemed park staff could not keep enough water on the campground grass to keep it green. It was 100+ both nights we were there. Our RV A/C never turned off! The water level was so low, the river didn’t even look inviting. The only folks we ever saw were park staff and the poor soles that were tent camping. RVers were all inside with AC. We’d consider staying here again... at a cooler time... for one night while passing through.
  No AT&T service.
  We saw snakes, lizards, squirrels, rabbits, frogs, an owl, and lots of geese out on the water.

  Celebration Park

  Great option for low fee

  Sites are next to the river and have amazing views of the surrounding terrain.

  Trash cans are located at each designated site as well as a level area to set up.

  There is cell reception in case you are interested but the wifi was poor.

  The fire pits are locked during fire season.

  Unfortunately, my site was a victim of irresponsible campers who left trash and urinated near the tent site. Obviously not the campground’s fault but something to be aware of.

  $5 fee with dropbox. 3 night max (within 30 day period.)

  Country Corners Campground & RV Park

  Cozy and quiet

  I have lived here full-time for over 3 years. It is beautiful, quiet, calm, and very safe for children and families. The rates are some of the cheapest around the country, and there is a group site for picnicking with a fire pit. There are tent sites with fire pits as well as RV spots and truck campers are always welcome as well. 24/7 free showers, and laundry @1.25. there is a phone number to call if you get in after business hours or you can just fill out a sheet and find a spot for the night and hook up. Owners are very laid back, and welcoming. We all rely on the old school honor system around here.

  Boise Riverside RV Park

  The Perfect RV Park For Visitors to Boise, Idaho

  This RV Camping Site is AWESOME! They do allow tent camping and have cabins. They have full hookups for RV's as well. There is a lower rate for "back-ins" to the Boise River Greenbelt. They also have a higher rate for Pull Through Sites for RVs. There is so much to do in the area. Biking, hiking, walking along the Boise River. There is also some great fishing on the Boise River. This location is centered for city goers, snow skiers, white water rafters and anglers. We visited some nice restaurants within a short drive of the campgrounds. We rode our bikes along the trails, upstream and downstream. The campgrounds also rent bikes for those that don't have their own :-) You will not be disappointed with this campground if you want to get to know Boise, Idaho.

  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!

  Country Corners Campground & RV Park

  Country corner campground

  Traveling across the state and we looked for a place to roll into later in the evening. Called this campground to see if there were any spots available and talked to a very nice woman on the phone who was able to get us in a tent spot immediately. We got there at about 10:30 and she met us out front and showed us our spot. Only a few tent spots but they were offset a little from the campers. Nice showers and had 24h bathroom access. Free WiFi all the way in our tent which was pretty awesome! Right off the highway which was convenient but could be a minus if the noise bothers you. Overall great experience!

  Shafer Butte

  One of my favorites

  Less than an hour from downtown Boise. Beautiful, scenic views, off the main road so it's mostly quiet. Tent only, but nicely maintained tent pads, fire rings and picnic tables. Perfect place to teach young ones the joy of camping; campground is open, mostly flat and easy to keep your eyes the tykes. One of the most enjoyable drives, ever.

  Country Corners Campground & RV Park

  Primarily RV with nice Tent area

  This is primarily an RV park, with monthly rates. It is very well manicured and maintained.

  There is however a nice tenting area with plenty of shade and grass. This is separate from the RVs and you might be the only one in the tent area. There was only one other group during our stay of a few days. Leave your vehicle in the parking area and walk to your site.

  It's a good place to stop if you're on your way through, or visiting in the area. Much nicer than anything else in the area.

  Owyhee River - Below Dam - Owyhee Dam Park

  Trophy Brown Trout Fishery!!!

  If you enjoy Fly Fishing for Brown Trout, this place is awesome. There is dispersed camping all along the river below the dam. It is very rugged, but there are amenities for camping. Just follow Owyhee Lake Rd along the river and you will find spaces to set up your tent or RV. It is a bit deserty, so beware of snakes. You will find quite a few places before the tunnel. There are some places for RVs after the tunnel as well. But there are quite a few places to set up tents. There are some J-Jons along the stretch of river with camping spots near them.

  Cow Hollow Park

  Peace and quiet farmland

  Found this campsite thru a free site. Beautiful trees line Cow Hollow and history from American-Japanese work/labor camp back in 1942. The town's people we met were amazing. The site takes donations but the city will tell you $10/night. BUT, even paying the $10, you have electric and water hook-ups, two baseball fields, two small parks, basketball/tennis court. Weekends consists of events. We stayed 14 days in tents and had a wedding, church festival and another wedding coming up the weekend we were leaving. Weekdays are quiet. Grassy areas for tents, gravel for RVs. Nice fire rings donated by a Boy Scouts group and brick bbq grills, picnic tables, restrooms and showers.

  12 miles or so towards Lake Owyhee, Snively Hot Springs is to your left before going over the cattle guard. The rocky canyons, Snake River and starry nights are incredible!

  Old Fort Boise RV Park

  Wouldn’t stay again

  Could be a standard overnight stop, but it is not worth $25. The bathroom and shower are dirty. Would not stop here again. Looks like there is a host onsite, but not sure what their role is. Fees: $25 for rv, $22 for 65+seniors, $15 tent. Really loud factory noise across street

  Cow Hollow Park

  Like a big playground

  Cow Hollow Park is like staying in a big school playground. There is playground equipment, a baseball field, a basketball court/tennis court. and a horseshoe pit. It's big and open with plenty of space for tents and a couple of dozen spots for RV's (no dumping or water, only electric). Restrooms and showers.

  Nice campground in scenic spot

  We stayed here a night in our RV on the way through during Cycle Oregon. It's a nice campground in a scenic spot. I appreciated all the history displays regarding the Oregon trail that passed right through there.

  On the river - some very separated comp spots.

  We spent one hellaciously windy night here. I'm sure it's great when it's not windy. Nice views, nice moon-rise in the evening. All was great until around sunset when the winds kicked up. Tough with a tent. But, that's the way it is in the West. enjoyed walking near the river with the dog though. Otherwise peaceful evening.

  Spring Recreation Site

  Quiet, simple campsite

  We stayed here for one night on a long drive between Seattle and Boulder. Slept in a tent next to the truck and left early in the morning. Delightfully off the beaten path and very quiet, aside from a distance passing train which didn’t bother us at all. We didn’t recreate at all but enjoyed the river views.
