Come join us in the "Gateway to the Northwest", home of Idaho State University. Pocatello is famous for its hospitality and is known as the U.S. "Smile Capital."

The Pocatello KOA is quietly surrounded by mountains - perfect for skiing and snowmobiling in winter, and rock climbing and hiking the rest of the year. Soak your aching muscles in Idaho's world-famous Lava Hot Springs, only 30 minutes away. Pocatello's Ross Park features a pool and sporting activities, and also hosts the Pocatello Zoo. Visit Idaho State University and the Museum of Natural History on campus. This KOA offers grassy, shaded tent sites with fire pits, and up to 60 ft., extra-wide pull-through RV sites. Or, stay in our sleeper cabins! Year-round monthly sites are available, as well as groceries, propane and gasoline. Relax, play horseshoes or enjoy ice cream. This is a great overnight stop on your way to Yellowstone National Park, and it's 2 1/2 hours from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Stay a night or two, as you travel to/from the Calgary Stampede in Alberta, Canada.  Max pull through: 60 feet.
