Found their website while looking for a place to stay near Craters of the Moon National Monument. I RV camped there in June 2007.

Describe your camping trip:

What a wonderful place. We stayed here while exploring the area and visiting Craters of the Moon National Monument. The sites are all level, clean, gravel and very large with nice big grassy areas between sites. RV sites had full hook-ups, picnic tables, charcoal grills and good southern views (for satellite). They also have a separate tenting area with nice level grass and water. All facilities are well-maintained and clean. The bathrooms were immaculately clean (was my Mom just here?) and had totally private shower rooms with a dressing area, seat and hooks. Need anything? Just ask. The owners are really nice, very friendly folks who are a lot of fun. Hungry? Grab a pancake and eggs breakfast in the cafe (FREE for overnight RV guests), or ribs and smoked potato for dinner.
Pros: Clean, well-maintained, wide grassy space between sites, free Wi-Fi, on-site cafe with free breakfast for overnight guests, friendly owners.

Cons: none
Nearby attractions: Craters of the Moon National Monument, Idaho National Laboratory (site of the first nuclear breeder reactor EBR-1), and "Number Hill."

Further comments:

We had a great stay and will definitely be back to visit again.

try to find a nicer park!, Member joanmcvay

What an amazing find .... the cleanest park with the friendliest owner/operators we have had the pleasure of camping with in a combined 48 years. Oh, and did I mention a FREE breakfast for each of us, complete with drinks? A very reasonable, yet cozy restraurant with smoked baked 'taters! Free drinks and dessert ...... Combine that with the awesome view of the mountains and the close proximity of the First Atomic plant and the Craters of the Moon National Preserve and you have a wonderful week ahead! Just grap your fishin' pole or hikin' boots and your week will be complete. Campsites are perfectly level, HUGE, have grills on each site, spotless bath and laundry facilities .... free detergent!! Wi-Fi works perfectly .... what else could one ask for?
