places to stay between southern Utah and the Oregon border

Regarding Three Island Crossing State Park - if you have pets and go on walks with them there, check them over for ticks when you come back, especially if you walk down along the river. Each time we go, we've found ticks on our dogs.

Another vote for Three Island Crossing SP. It's a regular stop for us on I-84 (in fact we just spent a few days there this week! I posted about it HERE). Lovely, large green state park with a FABULOUS visitor center that has extensive displays on the historic Oregon Trail. Also next to a cute winery. Lots of hiking, gorgeous Snake River and lovely, green lawns everywhere.

Lots of space during the week, but if you come on the week-end make reservations ahead of time.

If you go through NV, you can dry camp across the street from Casino 93, courtesy of them, for free. the couple of times we've stayed there, other's have joined us.

Three Islands Crossing State Park is a beautiful Snake River park just off I-84 in Glenns Ferry, ID. Just further west across the Oregon border is another nice Oregon Trail park on the Snake. Lakeside RV Park in Provo is nice for overnight. Personally, I much prefer going through NV than UT.

Unfortunately, Willard Bay SP near Brigham City is closed due to issues with the water supply. I don't think they have an estimated open-by date yet.

Note that Massacre Rocks will be east of where I-84 connects to I-86, so it will be out of your way. That said, it is indeed a nice place to camp if you don't have a big rig. Ours (see sig pic) fits in only a very few spots there, and we had to reserve one ahead of time to make sure we would fit.

Friends drove through Mountain Home RV Park and said it looked quite nice; haven't been there yet, so can't offer any firsthand info.

Massacre Rocks State Park along I-84 is a good stop if you don't have a huge RV. It's an older State Park so only a few of the sites will fit big rigs, but the view is beautiful.

City of Rocks State Park in Idaho, south of Albion is also an excellent place to visit. Stay at Smokey Mountain CG - there are hookups and showers too. There's a back way from I-15 to City of Rocks - a dirt road but a good one. We've taken that route with our RV.

Close to I-84 in Idaho at Glenns' Ferry is Three Island Crossing State Park. There are two CG's, with hookups. An upper level in a park like setting, and a lower level surrounded by Russian Olive trees and down by the Snake River. This campground is behind Camella Vineyards. They have excellent wine and a restaurant. They also have their own RV park right across the street. In fact you will pass both on the way to Three Island Crossing State Park.

In Oregon, beyond Ontario is Farewell Bend State Park on the Snake River. Very nice with many sites.

If you're taking I-84 along the Columbia River Gorge, I've heard from friends that Boardman RV park along the Gorge is a nice place to stay.

On I-84 exit 216 Village of Trees RV park. Nice place to overnight, next to the Snake river.
