This a great little spot for a night or much longer. The manager leases from the winery and is doing a great job in a small out of the way place. You will pass a fine overnight park on your way, but don't be way laid from getting to this little park. Note, the town's roads are pretty rough when you turn on to the road where the park is located. There are no discounts (Good Sam, etc.) but the price of $22 per night is a bargain. There is a 9 hole golf course available, a driving range (with a ball dispenser on site) and the manager knows the course well. Plus, the park is located in viewing distance of the Snake River Gorge. If we were not time constrained we would have stayed much longer. Another plus is that you get one glass of wine with each meal at the winery. There is also a no charge wine tasting. Try out this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lots of trees in the park make it difficult to find a site able to see the 3 satellites needed for Dish Network HD but we were able to park on one of the roads and still reach all hookups. The restaurant in the winery across the street has very good food at medium prices. Some sites can get wi-fi from the winery but they say they will have it available in the park in 2009. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We had planned on going to the nearby state park but there were no available sites where we could get satellite service and the rates were pretty steep so we ended up here. This is a small park with gravel sites and roads that worked well for an overnight stop. It is across the street from and owned by a winery which may appeal to some. We could watch them harvest the grapes from the window of our RV. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Off the interstate and just before Three Island Crossing State Park. Restaurant available as well as free wine tasting. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Above rate reflects Passport America with additional charge for 50amp plus tax. I could "see" the free WIFI but was not able to connect. Verizon cellular internet worked fine. Our 50amp outlet provided below minimum voltage (102v) with just two appliances turned on. Due to possibility of low voltage damage, we did not run our ac or heat pumps. A little tight for big rigs, but workable. Longest pull through site pretty well filled by 40' motorhome towing a car. Owner was very friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a newer park. The owner was very helpful. The sites are level with neatly trimmed grass. The roads and sites are gravel. The owner stated that he is building showers and bathrooms very soon. We used Passport America thus the low rate. We walked to the downtown area that was approx. 4 blocks away. There is a golf course nearby and real good food at the winery restaurant. There are trains passing nearby, only about 8 in a 24 hour period. We were here for 3 days and really enjoyed the stay and would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We'll will come here again! One-lite town--quaint little farming community; either exit 120 or 121 into Glenn's Ferry, just go S off I-84 to the water-tower and follow the signs; East ~1 mi. This and most Idaho SP honor's Golden Age passes M-R (Thursday), $21 or $10.50 GA. W/E, level, shade, dump station; river views from lower loop. OK for big rigs. Pizzeria has the best hamburgers! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed at Three Island Crossing State Park twice this summer, and enjoyed it both times. Great space between sites, and wonderful grassy areas. Great for kids and pets. The Oregon Trail Museum was very nice and staff was great to talk to. Lots of space to ride bikes and nice walking trails. Fishing available on the river. The park is kept up very well, and is nice and quiet. We'll stay here again for sure! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Idaho is considered the gem state and this a gem of a state park. Lots of grass, clean, sites are large. Snake River is 1/4 mile walk from park. Only negative we had was the invasion of millers on the morning we left. They covered one side of the motor home and it took us two weeks to finally get rid of them all. The road through town is quite rough but we would definitely stay here again. On our month long trip this was one of our favorites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is really clean; service is quick and very friendly. Lots are huge, and you have great privacy. Setting on the Snake
river is marvelous. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a beautiful state park, with lots of room between sites. We had a pull through that gave us plenty of room for an extra vehicle. The grounds and buildings were well maintained and very clean. The museum was closed on Monday, so we didn't get a chance to visit, but did enjoy some of the outside displays. The flowering trees and shrubs were beautiful. I will stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice Idaho state park. A lot of trees and grass. Most of the sites well separated. No WI-FI at this time but Idaho is installing systems in some of their parks. A bit hard to find the first time, just follow the signs but be careful, as the signs are not large in “town”. Water and 30 amp electric in each site. Paved main road with gravel pads. Most sites close to level. Check the park reservation web site for details on each site. Mix of pull-through and back in. Would accommodate large rigs in some sites. Very quiet while we were there. Got one TV channel and tree cover could cause dish problems in some sites. Nice small museum about the Oregon Trail pioneers crossing the Snake River. Park is near a small winery with a restaurant. Not a lot else in Glenn’s Ferry. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a great location for just relaxing. There is a huge grassy area where kids can play. We had a family reunion here wherein our group used 5 spots. Each spot has electric and water hookups, but no sewer. There are two dump locations at the park, so it is easy to take care of that when leaving. There are A LOT of very mature shade trees, so even though we were there in the middle of summer with high temperature of 100 degrees, the shade made it just fine. The campground host and the park rangers were very friendly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Beautiful park with lots of trees and grass. The museum is well worth the visit. Nice paved trails for bike riding. There is a 9 hole golf course right next door at the Carmela Winery. In Glenns Ferry, just south of the rr tracks is a shop with great Huckleberry ice cream. The park is well maintained, as we have seen in all the Idaho State Parks we have visited. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Absolutely delightful park at a historic point along the Oregon Trail. Beautiful, spacious sites among tall trees and lush lawn areas, perfect for picnics and dog walking. The facilities were very clean with nice hot showers. Nearby is an Oregon Trail museum and the Carmela Winery and restaurant are just a stroll away from the campsite. We stopped here while on route to the West Coast and were on a tight schedule otherwise we would have stayed extra days. The location midway across Idaho will work with many itineraries. For stocking up and other needs, Mountain Home is only 25 miles or so away and offers big box outlets, fast foods and other larger town amenities. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A very nice, quiet and clean park. Beautiful setting. No hassles. Lots of grass. The only negative is that it was a little hard to get to as we had to navigate through town in Glenns Ferry. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great camp sites. Spacious park like grounds. Quiet, clean. About 2 miles off interstate. Nice Winery within walking distance. Great views. Campground was not full at all in August .We were assigned a site, but was told if we saw another we liked better, We could have it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here over the Memorial Day weekend by booking beforehand on site. The site was exactly as the on site information including the map indicated. We had to book a companion site which was a double site for two RVs. The site was wide but due to its length would realistically only work for two smaller RVs such as our 32' unit plus a smaller TT or a Pop-up. Other companion sites accommodated two large RVs well including one companion pull through on the park. The park had many companion sites but equally as many single sites with ample room between units. We stayed in the lower campground which was nicer than the upper unit, but this depends on one's preferences. Both had nice well watered, well kept lawns. The upper unit was more spread out, lots of trees but less than the lower unit. The lower unit, was more wooded and had a remote feel whereas the upper unit had more of an RV Park feel. But as stated, both are very nice and you can rely on the Idaho State Park web reservation site to be accurate in parking spur dimensions and locations on the map. Great place to visit and would go back again. Since this is by the river, there are a lot of trails and blooming trees which can cause problems with allergies. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The lower loop must have been designed with the idea of getting groups to come here. Many sites are double and many are "clustered" . Sites in a cluster are very close together and share facilities and driveways. Not bad when the park is empty but could be way too cozy when crowded. Upper loop is more normal and spacious. Sites are gravel and reasonable level. Access roads are paved. We camped here in a Motorhome.
An outstanding state park with very spacious facilities, easy access and a very friendly staff! The "Oregon Trail Interpretive Center" that adjoins the park is not to be missed. We will be back for the "crossing reenactment" next year. No wifi but good 1xrtt VZ wireless data worked fine. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice parklike green grass in center of sites. Camp hosts were friendly. Plenty of shade. Very quiet. The only downside is many of the sites are "doubles" and the fee is based accordingly. Perfect if you are traveling with another rig. Otherwise you pay for both. There isn't a way to pay for half. Even if you could, the other half is parked very close you. In fact if you were traveling with another rig, there isn't enough room on the pad to face your doors at each other (like we usually do). If you wanted to put out your awnings you would have to be back to back. Then set up your shared tables at the end. Kind of funky in my opinion. This must be a popular spot though as many of the sites were reserved. We were able to get satellite but only because we were a single in a double with lots of room to maneuver into a position where there was a break in the trees. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park situated where the emmigrants crossed the Snake River on their journey to Oregon City. Also the site of an Oregon Trail Interpretive Center which is well worth visiting. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Generally a nice park. It is about 2 miles off I-84 and requires winding through town to get to the park. Once there site access is easy. Nice selection of sites but with little visual separation between sites. Seasonally the gnats that come off the nearby Snake River in the evening are a real pain..screens won't stop them! There is a nearby winery and golf course. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a very nice park. Campground is divided into two areas. One overlooks river, the other does not. Both have plenty of well maintained grass. Sites are large, gravel pull-thrus & back-ins. 30Amp electrical service. Roads are blacktop. Park was very clean & quiet. Many mature trees give nice shade but can make satellite reception a challenge(I got it). Big rigs can navigate this park with only a few low limbs to avoid. We camped here in a Motorhome.
