Idaho Campgrounds

Planning a 4 to 5 week trip to Idaho. Looking at staying in Arco Idaho for 4 or 5 nights. Looking at the KOA and Mountain View RV Park? Anybody stayed at either one. Also looking for a campground up by Hell's Canyon if anyone knows of a good one. Probably stay about a week at each park. Thinking about the month of August. How's the heat at that time? Thanks in advance!

    Canyon Pines

    It's been about 15 years since we were in the Hell's Canyon area, but this campground was awesome, right on the river near Riggins, Idaho.

    Just be aware that Idaho State Parks charges non-residents double for campsites, at a numner of their campgrounds. We went to Farragut State Park and had to pay twice the price for a W/E campsite. We could have stayed at a waterfront full hookups site on Lake Coeur d'Alene, for less money.


    Interesting, thanks for bringing this up.

    The doubling of the fee for non-res is only for the 5 most in demand Parks.
