We limped into this beautiful RV park with a camper and broken down truck. They welcomed us and our dog for however long we needed. We were able to rent a car to finish trip to OR to see grandkids and get back for a couple nights in Mtn Home. We were beyond fortunate to find such a clean, safe place to be with a great dog play yard. If our paths ever lead us to Mtn Home again we'll be at Gem State! So many thanks!!!

Nice quiet park. Easy after hour check in.

Nice enough place. Well appointed and maintained. The drawbacks for us were that they changed our site from a pull through to a back in and didn't notify us in advance and the train. The train isn't real close but if you're a light sleeper it could disturb you.

Small, clean, friendly RV park. Full hook ups and shade. Surrounded by a small neighborhood and an industrial park. Nice for a quick stay or if you’re branching out to Boise.

I left a message for someone to call me the day before our arrival because they did not send me any information after I paid for the reservation. When we got there, no one was there and the place is nothing like they advertised. We did not know where to park, and the place was trashy. Thank God when we called Mountain Home RV, they had room for us and told us to come right over. They took good care of us and the site is lovely.
