We took a last minute trip with our travel trailer. We booked the patio site about an hour before we got there. Staff was amazing. We had a back in river front site. They have concrete patios with a nice fire bowl and table and chairs. Our site was fairly level side to side but the pitch front to back was not. It really sloped toward the tongue area. We were glad we brought an extra block for the tongue jack to sit on. There is a nice pet area and play area for kids in the upper section. If you are in the river front area, you have plenty of fishing options. The cabins look beautiful and there are plenty to choose from. The bathrooms were spotless and same for the showers. My husband was carrying trash to the trash containers and staff asked if they could take care of it for him. They keep the place very clean. There is a nice group picnic area by the laundry room and there are extra bathrooms at the other end of the campground. The only negative would be the trains going by at all hours, even during the night. They have a nice walking path to go to town but it was closed while road work was being done. We will definitely be back.

This place is amazing and well kept. It is by a busy highway and trains go by often, but personally I didnt mind that really. The only problem I had is when we reserved it online it asked us about our RV length, number of guests and if any pets. We put in our info including the 3 dogs we have and when we got there to check in they charged us thirty percent more than told on website just for having dogs with us. If your going to charge more for pets that's fine but don't wait to tell after driving to there, put all fee's in the website booking so people know exactly what we're paying for. I was so mad for that reason we only stayed night then left next morning. If you have pets just prepared for a possible extra fee on arrival unless they've fixed the issue already.

Really a very nice park. We spent 4 nights in the office season and it was only us in half of the park for most of the time. It would have gotten 5 stars across the board if not for the near constant sound of freight trains and Jake brakes. You kinda get used to the noise though. Until bedtime. Staff was fantastic to work with and amenities were top notch! Will probably go back again if we're ever in the area.

Stayed here for a weekend away with my husband. It was so romantic the view of the snake river. The town has such a unique charm. The cabins were wonderful right next to the amazing Thai food! We got to walk right to the Hot Springs. The town is small and so we were able to walk The whole town and back to our cabin. I would recommend to others and definitely I'll be back!

Start with this. I had a few questions about camping protocol. They answered them so I was prepared to be a good neighbor. Had deluxe cabin which was clean on arrival. Was able to check in early. Propane grill with propane attached. Fire bowl was handy. Air conditioner worked as did everything else. Campground clean and an easy walk to hot springs baths or a local bar. Eruption brewing worth the price. Sunken Gardens very peaceful. Don’t heed the review complaints about the train, way outweighed by peaceful sounds of the waterfalls on the river. Bring some Yard Guard bug spray and your own linens. Will stay again

Loved my stay in the basic camping cabin with the queen and 2 sets of bunk beds, a fridge, microwave, trash can, heating and air conditioning, they also have electricity and a picnic table next to a small fire pit bring own firewood. They have showers and restrooms as well as Laundry facilities a playground and cornhole as well as a dog restroom area. Not too far from this location is the Lava Hot springs foundation world the famous Hot springs if you go there be careful the sidewalks are a little slippery and there is no area for children play and they don't like children playing in the pools and will let you know. In town you can find Mike's market, a Sinclair gas station, waffle shop, the Chuck wagon restaurant, ice cream shop and the Royal hotel & pizzeria, Ace hardware and much more. 20 minutes up the road is the Soda Springs geyser.
