This has been a great park and location (Ketchum), with proximity to the Wood River trail and close to Sun Valley. We just came in and the park is really run down. As we were setting up, a woman started throwing hanging plants onto the access road for RV’s, dumping dirt on the rental cabins, and many people riding in at night and speaking loudly after quiet time. This park is adjacent to a mobile home park and the clientele is definitely changing. We are done with this park - owners, Hope you are listening

Meadows RV park is the only option around Sun Valley and they know it with their rates. A bit overpriced for what you get. The positives: Clean bathroom and shower facilities The grounds are also and hook ups are convenient. Some stalls have sewer hook ups. Very convenient to bake paths leading to downtown Ketchum and Sun Valley. Also a short walk to the river. The negatives: Not a tree or landscaping to be found. As I mentioned - overpriced Slow to respond to questions. The office was not manned and it took them a few hours to return my calls.

The Meadows RV park is a good place to stay when visiting Ketchum. We will stay here again. It's better than a hotel, sleep in your own bed, and cook your own food if you prefer. The reservation, check-in, and arrival were as easy as can be. If you expect it to be sort of like camping, it is not. Currently, they are remodeling or reworking the park, so no grass or trees. Also, the shower/restroom needs to be bigger and updated and may be part of the remodel. However, we didn't stay here for the amenities. It was perfect for our needs.

Jennifer the office manager was AMAZING!!! She saved our whole trip after some plans changed last minute. We appreciate her so much and for being so kind to us. She couldn’t have been more welcoming and a fantastic employee. Also, the location is wonderful. We brought our bikes and were just steps away from an incredible bike path that takes you to Ketchum or Hailey. Everything was very clean on the premises and quiet. Would definitely recommend! -Ashley & Terence

Initially I was impressed with how prompt the RV Park responded to my availability inquiry. She answered my initial questions with regard to availability, accommodating to the size of my trailer, hook ups and proximity to the town of Ketchum. I was not happy with the $70 per night cost and no military discount but I made the reservation and paid for the nights up front. When we arrived there was no one here who could assist us and we haven't seen anyone since. I was totally unimpressed with the size of the site and how close each trailer was to each other. You literally hook up with the neighbor trailer on one side and you literally share the space and I'm guessing the one picnic table on the neighbor on the other side. Our awnings overlapped and he was cooking partially under our awning. We spent our entire evening in our trailer - very awkward. You can see in the pics this campground has made and is making a complete transformation. The pictures on their website is not what you get. We will not be back and we do not recommend. If your looking for a good location only, then this is the place. Very disappointed.
