Plan a camping getaway to Spencer, Idaho, the gateway to Yellowstone National Park.
Wake up under aspen trees in campgrounds near Spencer, a hamlet in Clark County, Idaho. Mountain biking trails in Opal Mountain are easy to access from in-town tent sites with amenities like restrooms, trash containers, and water. Look for RV parks that also provide electric hookups and picnic tables by Egin Lakes, an hour away from Spencer, before heading out for fishing and canoeing. Or spend a few days at Harriman State Park, where yurt and cabin rentals provide access to 22 miles of biking, horseback riding, and hiking trails. The scenic lake is also popular with campers for water skiing and fishing. Lakeside campgrounds are plentiful and offer on-site amenities like 50-amp hookups, barbecue grills, and picnic areas. These camping areas are also a 40-minute drive from the canyons, forests, and hot springs in Yellowstone National Park. Spend the day viewing attractions like Old Faithful and exploring the park’s recreation areas, or check in for a few nights at designated summer campsites in the park that provide drinking water.
