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.

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.

Appleside RV

33 RV Sites

The park is rated big rig friendly, and at 104 feet it takes rigs almost nothing else in the region will — a genuine advantage on the Snake River corridor. Pets are welcome. There's no recreation program on the grounds, and none is needed here: the rivers are the point. Clarkston sits in Asotin County at the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater Rivers, where the Lewis and Clark Expedition camped in October 1805 on the way to the Pacific. Hells Canyon jet boat trips and the Snake River steelhead run are both close. Rates and availability are on the booking page.

Sixteen cabins and 40 tent sites round out the accommodations, making this unusually tent-friendly. A general store, boutique shop, restrooms, showers, and site WiFi handle the practical side. The hot springs are the signature. Natural thermal pools — the same springs the Lewis and Clark Expedition recorded in September 1805 — feed the resort's soaking facilities, with an outdoor pool alongside. A bar, on-site dining, billiards, an arcade, and live music fill the evenings, with a disc golf course, walking trails, and picnicking outdoors. The property also serves as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome.
