Montpelier, Idaho Campground | Montpelier Creek KOA Journey

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.
