Overall Camper Rating:

Great spot just a short walk from the beautiful and historic hot springs. The campsite is tree lined and lovely. Some complain about the trains but, come on... 9/22/2020

Very laid back and quiet spot. We popped a tent by a stream and even though it was by a highway and train, it was peaceful. Only thing was being really chilly by the water... 9/21/2020

The cabin we stayed in was perfect. It was nice that they had a shower and bathroom, as well as a place to do laundry. Everyone here was very friendly and helpful. 9/21/2020

Loved the cabin!! 9/22/2020

Great little cabin 9/22/2020

Great spot just a short walk from the beautiful and historic hot springs. The campsite is tree lined and lovely. Some complain about the trains but, come on, it's an old west town with everything and that includes trains... 9/22/2020

We had a great time at this KOA! Very clean and well kept, from the camping sites to the bathrooms. I will definitely be going back again. 9/22/2020

We had an RV spot along the river and it was a nice pot with concrete patio and fire pit. The staff were slow to respond to two messages I left on their voicemail, hence the reason for four stars. The town doesn’t have much to offer... 9/22/2020

It was very nice, staff were very friendly, i would love to come back for another visit. To me it was a 5 star visit, just not very good on filling out the rate form , the fifth star disappeared, but this place was very pretty and fun, 9/21/2020

Brand new campsites near the river. A beautiful RV park and nice folks! 9/21/2020

Didn’t give highest score just because of the train and truck noise. Otherwise. Great place to stay 9/20/2020

Nice 9/20/2020

Beautiful setting and awesome campground 9/19/2020

Aside from trucks using their engine brakes (very loud) the train noise was not terrible. 9/19/2020

Beautiful campground that was clean and well kept. We stayed in a cabin which was wonderful. The only thing that was not great was the mattress-bring an oversized sheet as ours came off several times throughout the night. 9/19/2020

Great area. Had a lot of highway noise. 9/19/2020

Beautiful site and location. Wish we could have stayed longer but you were booked for the weekend. 9/19/2020

The cutest little tiny home we loved having the back patio with a view of the river 10/10 will be coming back soon for another stay 9/18/2020

Our campers may fish in the river, right from the campground if they wish, and on a lucky day will snare a good trout. Another popular spot for fisherman is the Chesterfield Reservoir, located about 30 minutes from the campground. We have seen great catches come back to the campground from that spot (no fish tales here!). Stop in the store to pick up your Southeast Idaho fishing guide.
