**Biking trails: The paved riverfront trail system connects multiple communities. "Enjoyed the quiet of the park as it is tucked away behind Costco with no busy roads around it. Beautiful riverfront spots. Great biking trails and was able to easily bike to and from work," reports a camper at Premier RV Resort.
**Fishing: The Snake River region offers excellent fishing opportunities. "Fishing is a big activity on the rivers," explains a reviewer staying at Premier RV Resort, who appreciated the "paved walking trail alongside the park that follows the river with pet stations located at intervals."
What campers like
**River views: Waterfront camping spots provide scenic vistas. "We were in #18 with water and power hookup and a very clean bathroom, shower, washer & drier, ice, grill & outdoor area to hang out," reports one camper at Swiftwater RV Park, noting they "wish we could have stayed a few more days."
**Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and shower facilities receive regular mentions. "The whole park is clean and well taken care of. Good cell service and WiFi too!" shares a reviewer at Premier RV Resort who appreciated the waterfront location.
**Convenient locations: Proximity to services makes resupplying easy. "Only $30 for 1 night, full hook-ups, pool, some shade, bathroom/shower, and walking distance to the casino," notes a visitor at Clearwater River Casino RV Park.
What you should know
**Seasonal closures: Not all RV parks operate year-round. Premier RV Resort at Granite Lake operates from February through November, while Pullman RV Park runs April through November. Hillview RV Park and Clearwater Crossing RV Park remain open all year.
**Limited pet areas: Some parks have restricted pet zones. "Only downside is having to walk the dogs across the parking lot to go to the bathroom in the grass, but it's nice to have the grass! Dog poo bags and trash cans available," notes a visitor at Clearwater River Casino RV Park.
**Noise considerations: Transportation corridors can impact camping experience at certain sites. "If you like to camp between the railroad tracks and highway, this is the spot for you! Redeeming quality—river runs right next to parking spots for your RV," cautions a reviewer at Clearwater Crossing RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
**Playground access: Some campgrounds offer recreational facilities for children. "There is a nice playground and it's walking distance from Safeway," mentions a camper at Latah County Fairgrounds in nearby Moscow, Idaho.
**Campground social events: Some parks host community activities. One visitor at Premier RV Resort mentioned that "the owners have fun with the residents... 'Sweet Saturday' with homemade goodies in the office and then Sunday Sundaes for $1 you can have an ice cream sundae with toppings in the office! The kids LOVED it!"
**Age restrictions: Not all RV parks welcome children. A visitor at Hillview RV Park warns that "the manager does NOT allow kids although this is not advertised or posted anywhere," adding they were "put off a bit by this" despite having "older children who mind their own business."
