What to do
Waterfall hikes: At Camp Creek State Park, trails lead to multiple waterfalls within walking distance of the campground. "The waterfalls are a short walk from the campground. Firewood is available and they deliver it to your site," notes Kevin E. The park offers an ADA-accessible short trail option among several hiking routes.
Paddling activities: Twin Falls State Park provides lake access when water levels permit seasonal paddling. During normal conditions, the reservoir offers calm waters suitable for beginners. "We loved the kayaks - if you only have 1 hour, power right out of the boat slip (past the beach) up and around the far part of the lake. Utter solitude among the hills!" shares a visitor about the paddling experience.
Trail riding access: Proximity to multiple ATV trail systems makes this region popular with off-road enthusiasts. "Great location to the trails! Hatfield McCoy and the Outlaws!" notes Sherry L. about Hilltop Escape LLC. Several campgrounds provide direct trail access without requiring vehicle transport.
Scenic driving routes: The region features winding mountain roads with elevation changes and views. "Easily accessible on MC with fun curvy roads to it," comments Stacy D. about one park's location. These routes connect various camping areas and recreation sites throughout the region.
What campers like
Creek-side sites: Campers appreciate sites that back up to flowing water. "We were in site number eight, it backed up to the creek and was quite private with the exception of the trail on the other side of the creek," shares Julie B. about her stay at Camp Creek. These water-adjacent sites provide natural white noise for sleeping.
Level camping pads: Twin Falls Resort State Park Campground offers paved sites that require minimal setup adjustments. "All sites are paved and some have electric hook ups. The bathhouse has heated, clean showers (score!)," notes one reviewer. Level sites simplify setup for both tents and RVs.
Fire ring placements: Many cabin sites include strategically positioned fire rings that balance safety with functionality. "Fire pits and picnic tables. Restaurant right next door," mentions Sherry L. about the amenities at Hilltop Escape, highlighting the outdoor cooking options.
On-site markets: Several campgrounds maintain small stores for basic supplies. "There is a general store that has just about anything you'd need in a pinch to get by," explains Jim P. These stores stock essentials that campers frequently forget or run out of during their stay.
What you should know
Seasonal bathroom availability: Not all facilities operate year-round despite campgrounds being open. "We were told there was one open bathroom however it was not made clear this was 1-2 miles away which was not exactly convenient," reports Jessica D. about off-season camping at Mash Fork Campground.
Variable cell service: Coverage is limited or non-existent in many camping areas. "No service for Verizon users… Sites have wifi but I could only get it to work 20% of the time," shares Nicole M. about connectivity issues.
Waterfall flow variations: Stream-fed waterfalls change dramatically with rainfall amounts. "The waterfalls were very sparse when we were there so not sure about other times of the year," mentions Lee D. Water features appear most impressive after significant rainfall.
Firewood policies: Rules about outside firewood vary between parks. "Firewood is available and they deliver it to your site. The bundles are quite generous in size," notes Kevin E. about the service at Camp Creek State Park.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Brushcreek Falls RV Resort offers play equipment within the camping area. "The shop was well appointed with necessities and wine from local. It was easy to get around the campground, and there were many nice spots and cabins to choose from. We had plenty of room to park our RV and there was a very nice new swingset Nearby," writes Julie M.
Kid-friendly hiking routes: Several parks feature shorter trails suitable for younger hikers. "The waterfalls are easily accessible and were beautiful even without an abundance of water," notes Dawn M. about Camp Creek's trail system.
Scooter-friendly paving: Some campgrounds feature paved loops ideal for wheeled toys. "Very quiet place. No playground or extras, but our boys didn't mind- the creek was great and the whole place is paved so it was great for scooters. It's a 3/4 mile loop around the campground," shares Greg S.
Activity planning: Staggering activities helps manage energy levels. "We had a great time all weekend with hiking, picnics, campfires and ghost hunting," writes Kim S. about her family's experience structuring their days at Twin Falls Resort State Park.
Tips from RVers
Hook-up variations: Little Beaver State Park Campground offers different utility options. "Sites with water and electric hookup 1-20. Spacious, private. We had #9. Level," reports Todd S. Selecting the right site based on your rig's requirements improves the camping experience.
Dump station locations: Most parks offer dump stations at their entrances. "Very convenient dump spot at entry," notes Heather H. about Little Beaver State Park's facilities. These stations typically require a specific approach direction.
Leveling challenges: Site topography varies significantly across the region. "Most sites looked like it may take some work to get level. We were in site 20 with a 23 ft TT and got level fairly easily but a longer rig may have difficulty in that site," advises Adam and Suzanne B.
Road access considerations: Mountain roads present challenges for larger rigs. "Make sure your truck/vehicle towing is not underrated for what you're pulling as it is a lot of big uphill elevation and tons of windy roads and tight turns," cautions Austin-Tarra G. about accessing Twin Falls Resort State Park.
