Hello, I am looking for recommendations on where to stay on the way to and from Yellowstone. We are coming from the Portland Oregon area. We have two young kids and are pulling a 25ft travel tra...

Near Craters of the Moon (about 20 miles east of it) is the KOA in Arco. Probably more comfortable in summer, as it has hookups so you can run a/c. Stop by Craters for a bit, check out the visitor center, and then head on down the road to Arco. The Craters CG is unique & interesting, but no hookups and no showers. Just FYI.
BTW, Craters and Arco are on US 20, not on I-84/86. If you're sticking to the interstate and not traveling on a weekend, you might be able to find a site at Massacre Rocks State Park, about 10 miles west of American Falls, ID. Nice park, electric & water hookups. Your rig will fit in some, but not all, sites; we recommend the lower loop, as it will have less road noise. Some nice, family-friendly trails, not too long, and interesting history & view of the Snake River.
If you prefer to go not quite as far as Massacre Rocks, and are driving on I-84, a very nice private CG on the way is Village of Trees in Declo, just east of Burley. Not a lot for kids to do, but there's a path down to the river that campers can walk on, and there's a cafe onsite, open weekdays as well as weekends. If the kids will want to blow off steam, there's a KOA in Jerome, near Twin Falls, but we haven't been there, so can't comment on it.
