Look Out Ski Area (Montana/Idaho state line) I-90 has parking
I-90 exit 5 Taft has a large parking lot and if you follow the Hiawatha signs, parking 100 yards south-might be busy with bicycle riders
The rest area I-90 mm 81? Montana is pretty good, and has a FS camp Ground in back
The Silver Dollar Casino I-90 mm 16 Montana has parking w/ power
The I-90 RA mm 4 Montana is closed again
St. Regis mm 33 Montana has limited parking just west of the little gas station and north of the stop sign about 1/2 mile behind a cafe
I-90 mm 75? has a parking area east bound
Missoula I-90 mm 101 exit has parking north of the freeway near the Cracker Barrel
Now you all know what I know.....

Yea, we were on !-84 and got off on US 20/26 near Meridian and went right through downtown Nyssa to get to the park. Good thing we were using the GPS--would have never found it otherwise. It is 4-5 miles outside town in the middle of some vegetable farms.

If you happen to be on I-84 between Pendleton and Boise, there is a great overnight stop just south of Ontario, Oregon. It is called Cow Hollow Park campground and is owned by the town of Nyssa, Oregon, right on the Idaho-Oregon border. 10 spaces, 4 gravel and 1 concrete with full hookups (50/30/20A power, water, sewer) and 5 grass sites with full power and water (no sewer, but can dump at any vacant full site) for $10 per night "donation" payable at the Sunset Market 1/2 mile from the campground. Park has ball field, tennis court, basketball hoops, picnic tables, big cottonwood trees, but no fire pits. We were the only ones there on June 21, but there was a weeding (note: actually a wedding, but I hadn't had my Starbucks yet this morning!) in the park Friday night and another being set up on Saturday morning. Location is Lat. N43.49.030 and Lo. is W117.07.400.

In '97 we did an overnight at a rest area in Idaho on I-25....it was somewhere close to the ID & MT state line (but looking for it can't find one too close). We had gone through Butte earlier.

Where does I-25 go through Idaho? I-84, I-86, I-15, I-90 yes, but still looking for I-25.

I suspect he means I-15.

:S Yes! I-15. I-25 is out here next door to me. Ha! It does run up to Buffalo, WY.

Cabela's in Post Falls, ID along I-90 has designated overnight RV parking spaces and a dump station for free.
