Bill Frome Memorial County RV Park
Overview
Overview
Situated along the Snake River drainage, Bill Frome Memorial County RV Park in Island Park, Idaho provides a public-lands staging ground for travelers navigating the rugged landscapes of the upper Snake River plain. County-run facilities in this region typically favor traditional, no-frills camping that puts the focus firmly on the surrounding public lands rather than resort-style distractions.
Location & Surroundings
Approaching via U.S. Route 20, motorists encounter a high-elevation plateau characterized by dense coniferous forests, volcanic geology, and wide mountain meadows. The climate features crisp summer nights and snowy winters, placing this park squarely in a high-mountain environment where weather shifts rapidly. Elevations frequently exceed six thousand feet, influencing seasonal access across surrounding Fremont County public domains.
Amenities & Park Features
Because specific on-site infrastructure details are subject to change and cannot be assumed without explicit data, visitors must contact the county park administration directly. When calling ahead, RVers should inquire about specific site dimensions, maximum rig lengths, portable water fill availability, dump station access, and electrical hookup configurations to ensure the property matches their setup.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Yellowstone National Park sits only a short drive to the north via US-20, making this location a practical basecamp for exploring the park's western entrance. Closer to the camp, anglers target trout in Henrys Fork, while hikers explore the trails winding through the Caribou-Targhee National Forest. Mesa Falls and the extensive Island Park Caldera offer dramatic local geological sightseeing without the heavy crowds found inside the national park.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination suits self-contained road-trippers, anglers, and national park visitors who prioritize a quiet county-run setting over paved resort lots. Anyone seeking straightforward access to Idaho backcountry recreation will find the geography ideal for staging outdoor excursions, provided they verify basic camping facilities prior to arrival.

Austin James
Amazing launch, in great shape and really a line. For the most part we only launch the boat here.

Clean RV park with boat launch at Henrys Lake. No hook-ups, but every site has a large grassy area with picnic table and fire pit. Two large vault toilets are centrally located. A covered gathering area with several tables is available for large groups. Damon Keen and his wife, Carolyn, are great camp hosts. The biggest attraction is fishing, but the spacious park offers a comfortable, scenic experience for all visitors.

Campground is no longer free. It is charging $15 a night. No hookups or freshwater or dumping. Bugs were pretty bad. The challenge with this place is it's a public boat ramp but it unfortunately tends to get over run by RV campers just there to camp or spend the night. This makes it hard to get a spot for RV campers who are fishermen and are there to spend a few days fishing. The lake is a really popular fishing spot and has limited boat ramps so this place is perfect for folks who want to fish and camp for a few days. If you're just there to spend the night or camp, the state park is probably a better place.
