Montpelier, Idaho Campground | Montpelier Creek KOA

Settle back in a tree-shaded site, lulled by the trickle of the creek that runs through the campground.

This award-winning, peaceful KOA lies along the Oregon Trail, halfway between Salt Lake City and Yellowstone National Park. Settle back in a tree-shaded site, lulled by the trickle of the creek that runs through the campground. Drop a lure into the creek (fishing license required) or relax in the heated pool. Your dog will love the fenced-in dog park and a walk along the nature trail. No RV or tent? Stay in a Cabin by the creek. Or go "glamping" in a Deluxe Cabin with a full bath/linen service. The National Oregon/California Trail Center provides an amazing look at the pioneer experience, including a computer-simulated covered-wagon ride. For adventure today, you can explore ATV trails, enjoy water sports at Bear Lake, bird-watch at Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge or head underground to Minnetonka Cave. Please call for campground's early opening dates. Pool: Memorial Weekend - Labor Day Weekend. Max pull thru: 75 feet. Your hosts: Jim and Brenda Reno.

Overall Camper Rating:

Nice spot right off the highway. Bathrooms were very clean. Pretty scenery with a cool creek and a nature trail running through the camp. Quiet at night with some nice stargazing... 9/26/2020

Beautiful place to do what in my opinion is a little Glamping. Trailer hookups and pads along with renting areas tucked in the bike... 9/20/2020

Everything you need to stay a few days or passing through. There's a little river that winds through the park. Kids loved it! 9/14/2020

We really liked our stay. The campground was quiet, (no traffic noise), and had some great walking trails. The staff were friendly and helpful. 10/13/2020

It was okay. Clean KOA. 10/12/2020

The owner is very helpful and responsive to needs. 10/11/2020

We loved our one night stay. We had the perfect site next to the stream and wooded area and enjoyed a campfire in the evening. The comments we've read about landscaping and upkeep seem so petty. You're camping for heaven's sake. If you want a resort, book with a resort... 10/11/2020

Very friendly staff and nice facility. The cabin was loaded with flies upon my arrival which was a bit annoying. Otherwise, the cabin was perfect. 10/11/2020

Absolutely stunning area away from the crowds at Bear Lake, but still within reasonable driving distance. The restrooms were very spacious and clean and the grounds were well kept! Would definitely stay again. 10/10/2020
