RV Parks:
Americana Kampground (208) 344-5733
Not a fabulous campground, but convenient for a day or two and next to Kathryn Albertson Park - a fabulous park for biking, running or walking the dog. Cable TV at some sites, good cell service. Read our postcard

Craters of the Moon National Monument

RV Parks:
   
Lava Flow Campground
If you love Geology, this park is like being in a candy store. Craters of the Moon is on a huge lava flow and there are many lava tubes to explore. Be sure to wear good shoes (the rocks are sharp!) and bring a good flashlight or head lamp. Even if it is hot, bring a sweater into the lava tubes - it is chilly down there. Not for the claustrophobic. For a dry-camping spot, I give it pretty high marks. Campsites have no hook-ups, there are no showers, no wood fires are permitted. Water is available. They do not take reservations, 14-day stay limit. There are some sites for big rigs (11, 21, 43 and 45 are best choices if you have a large RV). Read our 2003 postcard. Read our 2010 postcard.

Eden/Twin Falls

RV Parks:
Anderson Camp
It was a pretty tight squeeze to fit into the site, but we came in after dark and left in the morning. Right off the I-84 freeway, so a good spot for overnight.

Glenn's Ferry

RV Parks:
   
Three Island Crossing State Park
I am sure this is a busy park on summer weekends, but every time we have stayed here, we have had few neighbors. Great campground, 30 amp sites with electricity. No sewer at site, but they have a dump station. It is like camping in a lovely picnic ground - huge, lush, lawn and nice shade trees. You can get your satellite in most sites. It is often windy here.

The park is in some very pretty territory however, and if you want to explore... It's a dump. This is only my opinion... and I could be wrong.
