TravelerNot worth the drive
If your just going for a day trip to the hot springs it's ok. Camping not so much, the photos tell you everything. They haven't but money into this place since inception. Very sad. Only 6 viable spots with one of those next to the bathroom and garage cans. We got (lucky) and were at the end next to the highway.
TravelerGreat Riverside Campground
Our unplanned stop here was awesome. Was headed to McCall for the weekend when a rockslide shut down the highway. So we had to immediately change plans and ended up here.
It is mostly a wide-open parking lot where you can park on the edge above the river or even next to the toilet facilities for quick access.
The people were great and it was fun watching the rafters float by on their way to Riggins.
We will definitely stay here again when we get down that way again!
GuideGreat for a night
Stopped for a night between Coeur D’Alane and Boise. There are lots of spots along this route to stop. The difference here is you have some wifi being in Riggins. Huge area with the ability to fit rigs of all sizes.
