City of Rocks RV

23 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites

City of Rocks RV in Almo, ID, offers 23 RV sites and 5 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and pull-thru sites for rigs up to 60 feet. Every site is a water-and-electric pull-thru with a fire pit and picnic table. These are partial hookups — no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. The pull-thru layout and 60-foot maximum make this an easy stop for big rigs, and the park is rated big rig friendly. A bathhouse, firewood, and a community fire pit cover the essentials, and pets are welcome with a dog park. Two vehicles are allowed per site, with a nightly fee charged on arrival for each additional vehicle. The campground is the gateway to City of Rocks National Reserve, and its guests are mostly climbers, hikers, and history travelers. Fishing, biking, birding, and off-road riding fill out the rest. Almo sits in Cassia County in southern Idaho's high desert, at the entrance to a granite landscape that drew both California Trail emigrants and, a century later, some of the country's best rock climbers. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Spring and fall are the prime climbing seasons and the busiest weeks here.

Smiley Creek Lodge

6 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 2 Yurts

Smiley Creek Lodge in Blaine County, Idaho, offers six full-hookup RV sites with 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet, alongside seven cabins and two yurts on the Sawtooth Scenic Byway. A lake, beach, and general store serve guests near Sun Valley and the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. Six back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 50-amp service, sized to 40 feet — note that all sites are 50-amp, and the 40-foot cap suits mid-size rigs rather than the largest coaches. Seven cabins and two yurts round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. With six RV sites, reserve well ahead. Pets are welcome. A lake and creek run near the property with a beach for swimming, and canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, and fishing all available. Hiking, biking, and stargazing run from the site, with a playground for families and live music through the season. Wine and beer tasting is nearby. The byway position is the advantage. This is one of the most scenically extraordinary mountain routes in the American West, where the Wood River Valley's cottonwood corridors open into the granite peaks and alpine lakes of the Sawtooths. The lodge gives the most direct access to the Sawtooth Wilderness trail network and the Stanley Basin's fly fishing on the upper Salmon. Directions: from the north, drive 22 miles south from Stanley on Highway 75; from the south, 37 miles north from Ketchum. Summer is the season at this elevation. Reserve well ahead.

Lost Trail

20 RV Sites

Lost Trail in Lava Hot Springs, ID, offers 20 RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet. Sites come in two categories — pull-thru and riverfront back-in — each carrying water and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on dumping elsewhere for longer stays. The riverfront back-ins put the Portneuf a few steps from the door and are the reason to book here. A bathhouse with showers, a pavilion, a beach, and sport courts are on the property, with cabins for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome. The property also serves as a wedding venue. Fishing on the Portneuf is the main event, with the river running the length of the grounds. Lava Hot Springs sits in southeastern Idaho where the basalt of the Snake River Plain meets the limestone canyons of the Portneuf drainage, and the region's volcanic geology pushes hot mineral water to the surface — the town's namesake pools are a short walk or drive away. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Riverfront back-ins are limited and book earliest for summer.

Wakeside Lake RV Park

24 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 2 Glamping Sites

Wakeside Lake RV Park in Rexburg, Idaho, offers 24 RV sites, a cabin, and two glamping sites across 34 private acres anchored by an on-site lake, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Deluxe and premium pull-throughs join water-and-electric back-ins, with a beach and dog park. Twenty-four sites run in deluxe water-and-electric back-in, deluxe pull-through, deluxe water-and-electric pull-through, and premium pull-through categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 40 feet. A cabin and two glamping sites round out the accommodations. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side. Note the construction detour — follow the posted signs when the road is closed. Pets are welcome. The private lake is the anchor, with a beach for swimming and fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and boating from the water. A dog park serves pets, and a golf course is nearby. The 34-acre footprint gives the property genuine privacy for its size. Rexburg sits in Madison County on the upper Snake River Plain, between the rolling agricultural benchlands and the volcanic tablelands leading toward Yellowstone's caldera. BYU-Idaho, the St. Anthony Sand Dunes, and Bear World are all close, with Jackson Hole and West Yellowstone about an hour away. Summer is peak, with Yellowstone and Teton traffic driving demand alongside university dates. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Rivers Edge RV Park

At 28522 Lower Pleasant Ridge Road on the Snake River in Wilder, Idaho—in Canyon County in the agricultural heart of the Treasure Valley where the Snake River Plain's basalt terrain, the Owyhee Mountains' volcanic skyline, and the irrigated agriculture that the Snake River Project's century-old canal system established have created the specific high-desert agricultural landscape that Idaho's wine country, bird hunting, and the canyon reservoir fishing build their regional identity around—Rivers Edge RV Park provides 22 full hookup sites up to 60 feet, cabin rentals, a boat launch, a river dock, horseshoe pits, laundry, showers, and acres of shade and grass on the Snake River's Canyon County reach in the family-operated campground that the Catfish Tournament, the Airstream Rally, and the spring and summer fishing events make a community anchor for the southwest Idaho outdoor recreation calendar. The Snake River frontage, the boat launch, and the river dock together constitute the water access infrastructure that defines Rivers Edge's recreational character. Twenty-two full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer in pull-through configurations accommodating rigs up to 60 feet provide the RV infrastructure along the Snake River's Canyon County shore. Cabin rentals serve the guests without RV equipment who want the Snake River access in an enclosed accommodation. A boat launch and river dock provide the motorized and fishing watercraft access to the Snake River that the campground's bank position makes the most functionally direct private launch in the Wilder-to-Nampa river corridor. Horseshoe pits provide the organized outdoor recreation alongside the river. Laundry facilities and modern showers serve the practical extended-stay requirements. Fire pits and picnic tables at sites provide the outdoor living setup. The campground's acres of shade-tree canopy and grass create the green, mature environment that the Snake River Plain's otherwise dry basalt and sagebrush character makes particularly welcome at a riverside campground that has had the time to grow a significant tree canopy. The Snake River along the campground provides the catfish, bass, and warmwater species fishing that the Snake River Plain's agricultural irrigation return flow and the river's naturally productive warmwater habitat creates across the Canyon County reach. The Snake River's Catfish Tournament—hosted at Rivers Edge—draws the Treasure Valley's catfish fishing community to a structured competition on the campground's home water. Channel catfish, flathead catfish, and white sturgeon are the three species the Snake River's Canyon County reach most reliably produces. Bruneau Dunes State Park—70 miles southeast—contains the tallest single-structured sand dune in North America at 470 feet, rising from the Snake River Plain's basalt floor in the geological anomaly that sand deposit accumulation in a bowl-shaped basin creates when the surrounding wind directions cancel each other rather than migrating the dune. The park's observatory, operating on Thursday through Saturday evenings from March through November, provides the public astronomy programming that the high desert's dark sky makes particularly productive for public stargazing. Lake Lowell—the Bureau of Reclamation reservoir within Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge—provides the bald eagle and waterfowl viewing and the warm-water fishing that Canyon County's premier reservoir supports year-round. Rivers Edge RV Park is open year-round in the Treasure Valley's high-desert climate. Spring and early summer represent the most active Snake River catfish season. The Catfish Tournament and Airstream Rally provide the organized event calendar. Reserve the river-view site early for summer fishing weekends, bring the rod to the dock, and let the Snake River's Canyon County reach earn the southwest Idaho campground experience that the Treasure Valley's agricultural heart and volcanic skyline make geologically and culturally specific to this particular part of Idaho.

Snake River Cabin and RV Village

17 RV Sites, 53 Cabins, 17 Tent Sites

Snake River Cabin and RV Village in Jackson, WY, offers 17 full-hookup RV sites, 53 cabins, and 17 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 25 feet. Every site is a full-hookup back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a picnic table. Check the 25-foot maximum carefully before booking — this is a small-rig property, and vans, truck campers, and short trailers are what fit. With 53 cabins alongside, the village works well for a group where only some are towing. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a boutique shop, firewood, a recreation center, and a community fire pit cover the rest. Your card charge will appear as FSP*Jackson Hole Outdoor. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. A new paved bike path runs from the property in both directions, with river frontage, walking trails, forest, swimming, fishing, boating, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, biking, and birding. The village sits on the Snake River twelve miles south of downtown Jackson, where the river curves through the sagebrush flats of southern Jackson Hole, with Grand Teton and Yellowstone north. Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. Confirm your rig length first; Jackson Hole summer books months ahead.

Riverside RV Park - Kemmerer

38 RV Sites

Riverside RV Park in Kemmerer, Wyoming, offers 38 full-hookup RV sites on Ham's Fork River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 120 feet — among the most generous length allowances of any park in southwestern Wyoming. The park has been taking travelers for more than 50 years. Thirty-eight sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp in both back-in and pull-through configurations, with picnic tables at the sites. The 120-foot maximum accommodates essentially any rig on the road, including toads and trailers behind a long coach. Cable TV and WiFi are available at the sites. Pets are welcome. The river is the setting and the recreation. Ham's Fork runs along the property, giving guests trout fishing directly from camp in a high-desert river valley. On-site facilities are otherwise deliberately simple — this is a riverside park rather than a resort, priced and equipped as such, and its 50-year run reflects consistency rather than amenity investment. Kemmerer sits on US-189 in Lincoln County. Fossil Butte National Monument, preserving the most complete Eocene freshwater fish fossils in the world, is the region's signature attraction, and the town is where J.C. Penney opened his first store in 1902 — the original building still stands. The Star Valley outdoor corridor runs north between the Wyoming and Salt River ranges. The park serves the southwestern Wyoming season, with summer fossil-country tourism and river fishing driving demand. Reserve ahead for summer weekends, when Kemmerer's limited lodging inventory tightens.
