Southern Idaho Camping

Years ago I visited the "Craters of the Moon" area... and.. it was a heck of long drive for some pretty stark viewing. I may have been really tired, but I remember being somewhat disappointed.

I used to live near Kuna, ID. There's some pretty spectacular sights in this area along the Snake River. You might look into this - a double treat if you are into "birding".

That's about all I can tell you.. sorry - not much to go on.

The Bear Lake region is some beautiful country also. Lots of water sports, etc. After Glacier, every mountain you see will lack luster! SE Idaho is a beautiful area, though.

Just got home from Glacier and on the way home also visited Craters of the Moon. Stayed at Mountain View RV Park & Cafe in Arco,ID, which I highly recommend. Good Sam park, FHUs, big trees (we had site D2)and FREE breakfast every morning (2 very large pancakes, 2 eggs and coffee/tea), very nice owners. Mt. View is about 18 miles to Craters of Moon, which we enjoyed. Spent one day doing the drive and hikes in the park; second day enjoying the caves/lava tubes. Also toured the EBR-1 (Experimental Breeder Reactor) Nuclear Site in that area, which was great. Safe travels.

Love Craters of the Moon and would also recommend Mountain View RV. We were there just a year ago.

Thanks for all the replies, Mountain Meadow sounds like a great spot.

we stayed in campground near headquarters was off season so no hookups ken

Century II Campground in Salmon Id.
A couple of sites with a deck right on the river

Can't go wrong in the Stanley area. We stayed at Stanley Lake but I hear that the campgrounds around Redfish Lake are equally nice. A fantastic view of the Sawtooths right from your campsite. Shouldn't be too busy this late in the season either.

We like to visit Lava Hot Springs. The town is a bit rustic, but the hot springs complex is great. Not too expensive either. Several RV parks to choose from - I haven't stayed at any of them though.
