Shore Services: 50amp, Sewer-good, Water-40@ psi. Wi-Fi: Good; Wi-Fi Upload speed is faster than download. AT&T Cell Phone: Good. Sprint Air Card: Good Signal. Verizon Air Card: Good Signal. Cable: Good. Site: Gravel with good width; good grass between sites; Very close to level all around. Site Size: Good length but had to park tow vehicle at angle in site. Site Closeness: Good distance between sites. Roads: Gravel. Restrooms: Very Clean. Directv Satellite: Good signal. Discounts: Good Sam. Payment: Credit Card. Additional Charges: None. Additional Remarks: This is a nice park. Well kept. The owners live above the office and are very nice. I don't rate a campground a 10 unless they have at least level concrete sites and grass all around. But this is a great campground especially for a KOA. They have a $.50 ice cream at 8pm and a free movie outside if the weather is nice. If I am in the area I will stay here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
One of the most relaxing campgrounds we have stayed in. The facilities are excellent: easy access, good 50 amp power, cable TV, satellite access, free Wi-Fi, very good water pressure, a table and a fire pit. This is an extremely pet friendly location. Our pull-though is very long with a large space between our neighbor on the awing side of the coach. The host was very friendly even had fresh cookies out for the taking. We like this place mostly because it is one of the most relaxing campgrounds we have been to. Only booked for two nights now we wish it were longer. Next time! We camped here in a Motorhome.
It is a great little park with very nice camp hosts. The park, laundry & pool are all exceptionally clean. Most of the sites are shady and the owners make everyone feel welcome. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We were really impressed with overall quality of this campground. It is quiet, extremely clean and the hosts were very customer oriented. We later found out that they themselves own the campground and their pride of ownership certainly shows. It is easy to get to regardless of how you enter Arco, the signs are clearly posted. Also, the prices for the camping supplies in the office/store were the best of any KOA we stayed at. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Terrific people, great RV park. Large level sites on gravel, between lush grass strips and large shade trees. Strong power supply, great pool. Very quiet, yet only a few hundred yards from the highway. Nightly 50-cents-per-scoop ice cream. Again, the family running the park really do seem to want to do anything they can to make sure your stay is enjoyable. We'll definitely be going back to this delightful spot. I didn't give it a 10 only because the interior roads aren't yet paved. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice KOA with grass, trees, level sites, heated pool, good wi-fi, lots of cable channels, free movies (sometimes), ice cream socials (sometimes), recumbent bikes. Although the previous poster noted no fire pits, we had something that's a grill on one half and open on the other; obviously, you can have a fire in it, so I don't know what he/she was looking for. Bathrooms are in good shape, water is hot. Friendly hosts. Quiet. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not a particular nice park for a KOA. Website said firepits at the site. Not so. Helpful staff. We had to turn a sprinkler off as it was spraying our Moho. No briefing at checkin. We had planned to stay longer but decided not to upon arrival. Verizon wireless worked here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Owner recently converted park back to KOA and has been making many improvements. Cable TV & WI-FI work good as did all the utilities. They also have a small off leash enclosed dog yard with dog toys. Park was quiet as it is away from the highway airport & trains. Owners were very friendly and we would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very friendly and hard-working staff and a well maintained KOA. The day we were there was very windy and the campground staff was out picking up fallen branches and twigs from the trees. Well watered and grassy campground with good space between sites. We found it very comfortable. There were only about 20 sites taken when we were there, which was fine with us but not good for the campground. As we drove by we noticed the other RV park in Arco was much busier. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This actually is now "Craters of the Moon KOA." The Colonel, who had recently sold his park to KOA, was there for a day or two. He already commented that park wasn't quite the way he would have had it if he still owned it. It was the beginning of the season. I'm not a big KOA fan, but this was pretty good. Bathrooms were nice and Wi-Fi was good. I think it would have been great as the Landing Zone. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is an outstanding campground, effectively managed and meticulously maintained. The owner didn't seem to have any help while we were there and was doing everything himself. He was there at the crack of dawn watering the grass, cleaning the restrooms, checking people in and guiding them to their site, and making sure people had what they needed. He was still there late in the evening, keeping the office open for late arrivals. (He is a nice guy, in spite of the fact that he is Army.) The park is spacious, pleasant and quiet. We will camp here again next time we are in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I agree with the earlier reviews for this RV park. It was with great pleasure that we stayed here and saw the owners working very hard. I wish them great luck! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This RV park is run expertly and everything and everywhere was spotless. The Colonel has a great sense of humor. It was a pleasure to stay with them. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Somehow little Arco has 2 really nice RV parks. Too bad there's not much to do in this area besides Craters of the Moon. I camped in both parks and liked this one better, tho they are both fine. Landing Zone is quiet, very spacious, very clean and well-kept. You won't see many bathrooms this nice, nor such green grass in dry Idaho. Ron, the owner, is a hard-working, polite fellow. Free wifi worked very well,and cable TV was a bonus. $27 base price can be less with club discounts. Well-worth a stop and will certainly be back. More RV parks should be like this one. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I agree that this is a nice park with good facilities (FHU, cable, and WIFI) and sites. It is well maintained and I also saw the owner watering, mowing, etc. I guess I am just not as impressed by all this hard work by the owner in an age when water is become too precious a resource to be wasted on keeping campground grass green. If he is going to use thousands of gallons of water a day, I'd rather see it in a swimming pool. This area is consistently in the 90s and higher from mid June through mid August and a pool is much more refreshing than green grass. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a lovely park in a very quiet, rural setting. Out of the 140 sites, approximately half of them have beautiful, mature shade trees. (I suspect the unshaded sites are newer). They are all immaculate and have well-kept lawns all ‘round. We parked in the older section, site B6, with a nice view of the mountains and a neighboring horse corral. The pullthrus are generously wide and amply long – plenty of room for our 37’ 5th wheel and our F-350 dually. Each site has a very nice plastic composite picnic table. The office is immaculate, as are the bathrooms and laundry. The on-site owners are very accommodating and hard-working. They provide a personal escort to the site and they accept mail and even deliver it to your site! There is a small playground, I didn’t notice a pool, but that wasn’t a concern to us. The park is very pet friendly. They only have 30 amp but for an extra $2.50 per day you can use the adapter available at Camping World (50 Amp RV Box Adapter – Item # 25774) It uses both outlets on the post – very nice in the summer! The park advertises free WiFi, but it is only available in the room adjacent to the office – ad could be more specific (this seems to be a common issue with WiFi service: “We have free WiFi, but you can’t get it at your site.”). Worth it to be specific when you call ahead if WiFi is important to you. There’s not much shopping nearby, best stock up before you arrive. The town has one small market - prices are a bit on the high side, but they do have an amazing variety of products. Not much to do in Arco, but this a wonderful, restful place to stop for a day or two and visit the Craters of the Moon National Preserve – a fascinating place. No traffic noise, no trains – just birds, squirrels & friendly people. All in all, a perfect place to be. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The site is near 'Craters of the Moon' and 'EBR-1', good grassy sites, good shade trees, WITHOUT A DOUBT the cleanest restrooms (called latrines here) we have ever seen and I think that you will ever see (I'm ex-NAVY and I can appreciate the military approach to life, believe me, you could eat off these floors), this is a GREAT place when in this area, HIGHLY recommended. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice friendly RV park. Sites are clean and neat. Good WIFI signal. Roads and sites are gravel. We would stay here again. We were on two different sites and got a strong Direct TV satellite signal on both sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We are here for Craters of the Moon. Have to fully agree with the other posting here - Ron & Kat run this place; without outside help. Spotless is an understatement ! Only two washers / dryers, but among the best we have ever seen. Lots of grass and shade trees. I don't know when Ron sleeps - he is working constantly; setting sprinklers before we were even out with the dog, and we are up at sunrise or before. Highly recommended it here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Arco was a stopover for us plus a look at "The Craters of The Moon" area. Found this park on the web and were intrigued by its content. Set up by a retired Colonel and follows a military theme. We have been touring USA for 9 months in our motorhome and this was one of the best and friendliest parks we have visited. The owner is extremely obliging and a real nice guy. The place is spotless and I'm sure you will never find cleaner bathrooms (latrines). I felt like wiping my feet before going in. Cable and WiFi both very good and free. Big recommendation and would come here again, especially at the price. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very good National Park Service Campground. The campground is somewhat tight for RV's larger than 30 foot in length. However, if you like beautiful scenery and the great blue skies of the mountain west, this is the place. The main attraction of the National Monument is a setting carved and landscaped by repeated volcanic eruptions beginning 15,000 years ago. It's hard to describe the natural beauty the molten lava, green scrub pines, wild flowers and sagebrush have created. It's a must see and the campground provides a nice place to stay overnight and begin the drive tour/hikes around the unusual volcanic landscape. Make sure you go out at night to see the breathtaking clear look at our universe. The stars are unbelievable as seen through the clear mountain air. Bring your own fresh water and empty holding tanks as there are no hookups and no dump station. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We loved this park! The owners are wonderful people who go out of their way to make your stay comfy. The "Camper Special" breakfast was included in our stay price and was great homemade pancakes with eggs. We'll be coming back on our next trip through Idaho. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I can just agree with previous positive comments. This park is quiet, well-run and does, indeed, have more space between sites than I think any other park we've stayed at. The site was more than ample for our truck and trailer and was pretty level. No big trees where we were, but good satellite reception. The free breakfast was a nice bonus, although they have just discontinued it for the season after our second day there. Arco is a cute little town, but has limited shopping, so you might want to stock up before you get here if you have need for anything other than the basics. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was one of the nicest little RV parks we have stayed in during our two month trip out west. The spaces are large with trees and grassy areas next to each site. The $25 (this reflects the Good Sam's discount) included a pancake and egg breakfast for two. The women who run the park couldn't have been any friendlier. Someone wrote that the town of Arco was a disappointment, although the Craters of the Moon were awesome. I agree with the Craters of the moon being awesome. As for the town of Arco, this is the sort one-of-a-kind small town I enjoy exploring and photographing. The town has a government nuclear power plant nearby, which employs about 60% of the people there, so there are atomic energy themes throughout the town. If you go there, be sure to have an Atomic Burger at "Pickles" cafe. We found it to be a "funky" memorable kind of place. Oh yes, the goats behind the campground are very friendly, too. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Wonderful RV Park near Crater's of the Moon. The town of Arco is a bit of a disappointment but this park makes up for the difference. The pull-thru spots are very large and included wide grass areas between spots. The weekly rate is excellent. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
One of the most impressive features of this park is the space between sites, all of which are pull-throughs. Whoever laid out the park could have easily squeezed an additional site in the areas between the parking locations for each coach. It’s nice to visit a park where consideration for campers' comfort outweighs the profit motive. Although the park is located on a major highway (US-93), noise was not a problem as traffic volume is very low during the overnight hours. Wi-Fi reception was very good during the several days I spent in the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good location for visiting Craters of the Moon. Stay was pleasant. No cable but a few over the air channels. Good locations for satellite reception. Well kept grass at site. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very friendly people. Great location for visiting Craters of the Moon. The mini golf is a bit run down, but the kids didn't mind. There are only 3 washers and 3 dryers so if anyone else needs to do laundry you will find yourself waiting. Had a nice breakfast in the cafe. Nice park. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If you want a nice, quiet campground this is it. Free Breakfast of eggs cooked to your desire and pancakes every morning. Host was excellent, very friendly and accomdating. Showers are seperate closed stalls. A nice location for an out of the way place. Missed the TV but for a couple of days it is OK. Can understand why it has not been installed $$$$. Got to see the 100 Anniversary of Arco the first town to be powered by Atomic power. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice campground, lots of grass, trees and birds. It's right on US 20 but Arco is pretty small so the noise wasn't too bad. The bathrooms have individual stalls and showers. The hosts were extremely nice. Very clean place, even the grills were spotless. The wi-fi went out a few times but mostly worked fine. Small miniature golf course, lots of tables for sitting around on the grass. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good place to stay while visiting Craters of the Moon. Nice touch with free breakfast in the AM. Our site was large and level but some looked a little tilted and overgrown with trees. Wi-Fi was OK. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a small well maintained campground. There were no signs to campground, so we nearly missed entrance. There is limited area to park and register. The office was on limited hours due to time of year. Access roads are gravel, wide and well maintained. Sites were large and level. Services were in a good location for easy hook-up. A quiet location. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground had excellent pull throughs and the space between sites was very nice. Free breakfasts are offered during the prime season. This is very close to Craters of the Moon. The managers were very friendly and wanted to know if there was anything they could do for us. The town of Arco is very small and surrounded by farm land. A bicycle path near town is quite nice. We camped here in a Motorhome.
An excellent park. Very wide grass areas with table and barbecue. Sites are gravel and level. A professionally run park. Small restaurant with free breakfast for campers (during season). We camped here in a Motorhome.
Don't miss this campground. It is first class in every way. So nice to have lush green grass in such a dry area. The free breakfast was delicious, - gracious friendly help. Our site did not have shade but there were lots of trees through the campground to give enough shade for relaxing on a hot day. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We second all the previous comments. Wonderful campground. Sites are close to level - one block under front wheel took care of it. Not all sites had 50 amp. The office was closed for a "siesta" when we arrived so we had to walk around and find one. Cleanest and nicest bath facilities I have ever seen in a RV park. Free breakfast (except on Sunday). The cafe at the front serves incredible home cooked meals. I had chicken (inc. salad, baked/smoked Idaho potato and corn) for $10. My wife's steak cost the same. It was delicious. If I'm ever in this area again I would stay here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
All Pull-Thurs, Clean Restrooms, Free Breakfast, WiFi that works and few local channels on the antenna. Only problem are sites are not quite level,had a little trouble leveling motorhome. Otherwise, great owners and the best place to stay when visiting Craters of the Moon. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is what an RV Park should be. Wide sites, good grass, nice trees and everything to perfection. Staff was very helpful and present. Rest rooms and showers very clean. Free breakfast is a fun touch. Don't know when I will be in Arco again, but if I am this is where I will stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We were pleasantly surprised by this oasis in the middle of the high desert. The grounds are well maintained and it is obvious the owners take pride in their park. The sites were very large with plenty of grassy space between you and your neighbor. The free breakfast (every day except Sunday) was a nice touch and was quite good. Plus it gives you a chance to meet your fellow campers in a very friendly atmosphere. This campground provided an excellent base for exploring Craters of the Moon National Park (approximately 18 miles away). The WiFi worked well and there was no problem setting up a satellite dish. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The best feature of this campground is the friendly ownership. The facilities are more than adequate and the wifi was good. We received excellent help on things to do in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Only downfall of this park is the layout, crammed alot of sites into a small area (typical RV Park layout). The free breakfast for its campers is a nice touch. The owner is very nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Previous comments are correct. Really well-cared for park and a nice place to stay. (But don't get carried away by the free breakfast; hot cakes were big, but bad.) So laid back that the office was closed most of the afternoon, with a sign to go pick your site. Would have helped to have the usual park map with list of tv stations, bathroom code, checkout time,etc. Didn't even get that when checking in and paying. Still, worth a stop and repeat visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not much to do in Arco,ID, but if you travel thru here, be sure to stay at this park. Great owners, super clean, grassy sites with lots of room between them. Big rig accessible, great satellite reception, power and water pressure superb! Free breakfast too!!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Loved this park - very clean, neat and comfortable. Nice yards and shade trees at each site. Several sites have 50 amp and they are upgrading more. WiFi was excellent. Rv'ers receive a free breakfast of hot cakes and eggs in the cafe which has a full breakfast and dinner menu (ribs and smoked potatoes). Craters of the Moon NP and EBR-1 are each 18 miles away. Close to town and services. Owners are very friendly. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very nicely maintained mom-and-pop type park with level gravel sites, trees, and grass. The view of the mountains is very nice and it's in a quiet location and very dark at night. The free WiFi was very strong throughout our stay. The owners are friendly and very helpful. They also run a small cafe with a free breakfast for RVrs - but try the sweet potato pancakes; they're only $2.95 and well worth it. Sitting in the cafe is like being with old friends, everyone is very friendly - ask about all of the dollar bills glued to the ceiling. This is the way all campgrounds should be run. We'd stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A great place to use as home base to explore the area (Craters of the Moon National Monument, Idaho National Labs, etc). The sites are level, gravel pull-throughs (and there are separate tenting sites, too) that are really far apart... it's like having your own lawn. All the facilities are well-maintained and clean. And there's a cafe on site for breakfast and dinner (overnight guests get a free pancake & eggs breakfast!). The owners, Dave & Bonnie, are really great - very friendly, very helpful, and a lot of fun. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If you would like to stay in a park that is run the way you would run it, try this place. We have only been here one day but am thoroughly impressed. Wash your rig, certainly! Want to eat, free pancake breakfast each morning. Want something else, you can order it. Like baked potatoes, try their smoked potatoes. Excellent. This place really appreciates their customers, and likewise, we appreciate the owners. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Clean park with dustless gravel interior roads and pull-throughs. No apparent long term folks -- only five rigs here today. Rows C and D (half of park) have been upgraded with 50A service during past month by the new owners Dave & Bonnie. New BBQs and wood picnic tables at each site. Sites are 48 feet wide with grass between each pull-through. One 40 ft pine tree on each of most sites which might block satellite, depending upon parking position. D6-8, C9, B8 would have access to all satellites - I am a Datastorm and DirecTV user. Big rig friendly. They plan to re-open their small on-site cafe. Wi-Fi installed but not tested my me. We could definitely stay here again upon passing through Boise to West Yellowstone. Crater of the Moons National Monument is 19 miles west. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great RV park, not very crowded because it would only be found by those visiting Craters of the Moon National Monument. We found it to be a gem as noted in review by another on this web site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Operated by a nice couple. They'll even let you wash your rig. Scenic in the middle of nowhere and thinly populated. I even saw a UFO here. We would come back. It's nice and quiet. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A really great place to stay if you're in the Arco area. Very quiet, very well maintained, with flat, level gravel sites separated by wide grassy areas. Owners are terrific folks who go out of their way to make sure your stay is a good one. We will definitely be back! We camped here in a Motorhome.
