You could be the only one there for the night. It was quiet. Note the instructions…this is a fair ground and you do drive thru to the back side. Site is clearly marked. A side note for the general area(community), Google Maps is not caught up on food locations. For food, google said 9 miles (next town over)for a DQ. As we headed that way, we came upon one only 2-ish miles from camp site.
I would stay here again.

BEAUTIFUL lush green grass and likely, ALL TO YOURSELF. It’s a secret little hideaway hidden in plain sight. A true gem this place is. Very responsive and gracious host. All the amenities you would never expect in such a delightful hideaway. Your dogs can have room to play fetch while you enjoy the amazing nostalgia of this delightful little Fairgrounds RV park turned AWESOME throwback Hip Camp. ❤️

Beautiful spot with a great view of City of Rocks and easy access to climbing areas. The campground was well laid out and everything was in good repair. It looked like they were working on improvements for next season - building nice little shade/ wind breaks in the tent sites. Cell coverage was weak in spots between I-84 and Almo when coming from the south so make sure you download directions.

This was a great stop for the night. Close to the highway, in the middle of town, but also quiet and peaceful. We lucked out and had the place to ourselves. Our dog had the run of the place. 30 amp power and water worked with no problems.

Cool little campground near the city of rocks. Amenities were actually better than advertised as it seems like they just added showers, spot was pretty level. The host accommodated a last minute site switch for me as well so that I could be closer to WiFi while my wife was in Europe, and the concession stand was an added bonus for an easy breakfast. Will definitely be coming back when my wife is able to join!

This little-known park is absolutely worth a visit! The park is beautiful and the geologic story is unique and enticing. Climbers love this place but it’s great for a family trip, too. You can probably see the whole park in just two days.

Really cool spot. It looks like a giant dropped a random handful of granite domes in the middle of miles of range land. I didn't climb there but it looks like some classic crack and face lines.

City of Rocks Campground
The City of Rocks is a special place. Beautiful stars. Moose, mule deer, amazing sunrises & sunsets. Trails to hike for days! The nights get bitter cold! BITTER COLD due to the wind that pics up at night. Camping spots are well spaced out. You really cant go wrong with any one of these spots.

Magical little out of the way place in the south central Idaho high desert. Popular for rock climbing, some mountain biking, trail running, bird watching. Get a homemade pizza at Rock City Mercantile in town and the best remote beer selection ever. It's hot in the summer, but perfect in spring and fall.

One of the most gorgeous places I have ever camped, and that was when I was only 11 years old. Huge sites, I could boulder and scramble on the gorgeous rock within the perimeter of mine. Beautiful wilderness to explore and great rock climbing.
