The best campgrounds near Twin Falls, Idaho with campfires

On the surface, Twin Falls looks like any other southern Idaho town. Look closer—tucked into the plains, you’ll find breathtaking canyons, hot springs, and booming waterfalls. Sine all of this natural beauty is off the beaten path, you can enjoy camping without the crowds.

The secret is the Snake River, which has carved a massive canyon in the flatlands around Twin Falls, ID. Take in the view of the spectacular local golf course from the Perrine Memorial Bridge. Be sure to keep an eye out for BASE jumpers making the 486-foot leap. In the spring, watch the mist rise from the massive Shoshone Falls.

You’ll find a few private RV parks and tent camping options in and around Twin Falls. About an hour away, Three Island Crossing State Park offers pull-thru sites with hookups. This Oregon Trail campground overlooks the spot where pioneers once forded the Snake River. Be sure to visit the interpretive site and check out the disc golf course.

East of Twin Falls, Lake Walcott State Park has 40 campsites and 2 cabins. Bring your ATV and ride the trails, or fish for rainbow trout from the shore. About 90 miles away, Bruneau Dunes State Park offers year-round camping. A short walk from camp, hike up 400-foot sand dunes and ride a sandboard back down.

All sites are back-in only—please plan accordingly. Utilities - $35/night covers water, power, trash, and access to a shared half-bath. - No generators allowed out of courtesy for all guests.

Really enjoyed our stay at Marni’s site! It had everything we needed for a comfortable overnight stop - potable water, a nice campfire area, and a safe, quiet spot before heading down to Lake Tahoe. The two pygmy goats were adorable, and Tonks the kitty totally stole the show - she’s so friendly and social, and made the whole experience extra fun (and hilarious). Marni was an awesome host - super chill, welcoming, and attentive. Would definitely stay again!

If you find yourself near Twin Falls and you want to find some solitude and sit cloae to the edge and stare out at an expansive canyon with the light playing on waterfalls at sunrise and sunset, then this is your place! Way better than being tucked in between 2 RV’s at an RV Park!

We made a late reservation through Hipcamp. I messaged Arte and Alexandra and they were quick to respond. They answered all my many questions promptly. We tent camped in their driveway while 2 other rv campers were close by on the same property. The farming next to the property was very loud the next morning…early. I had no problem with the owners or property. I felt safe and comfortable. They have a small orchard on the property with the best green apples!! I would camp there again.

1 night at Copus Cove

Dwight is super nice, responsive, and accommodating! Super hard working guy, and fun to talk to. The sites aren’t exactly what I was expecting, but they are in good working order, other than a 50amp wiring problem that I let Dwight know about. The 30 amp and 120V worked great! A little close together, and the long-term stayers are a little on the rougher side, but everything was quiet at night while I was there on a weekday. They seemed nice and kept to themselves, just are a little rough around the edges. You will have to share a water spigot (using a Y-connector), which works just fine… but my spigot did not have a Y piece. The spigot was already in use by my neighbor, and so I had to fill up on my way out at the site nearest the end. Dwight said there was supposed to be one there, and all the other spigots did have one. Just check it before you park it :) neither of these power and water uh-oh’s were an immediate issue for me since I run off of my tank 100% of the time and can use any power source. Your mileage may vary. Dwight seemed eager and ready to address and fix either issue immediately if needed. These are pull through sites - just figure out which indirection you want to pull in from. There is a little dirt path that goes around the backside you can pull around and/or through. He’s out there working hard to keep improving the place as time, money, and energy allow. Have a visit and be open minded :)
