A good fairground RV park. Sites are on-well kept grass and fairly close together, but should have plenty of room on any other except event weeks. Restrooms are better than most fairground parks; clean and modern. The $20 rate applies to non-event parking. If you are there for an event, the rate is $10. We were here for a High School Rodeo and were one of only about 10 rigs in the park, so there was plenty of room. No sewer, but there is an available dump. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A very clean, attractive site with courteous staff. The spaces were small, and the setting not as great as many in Idaho; otherwise it was a good park to stop at for an overnight stay. There were good paths for dog-walking and relaxing. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park was first class: paper in the morning, etc. The spaces were large and there's lots of green grass. People were great and we enjoyed the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The people who run this were extremely friendly to us; don't know what the previous poster's trouble was. It is a parking lot-style park attached to a mobile home place. Sites are flat and close together. The bathrooms are modern and very clean. There's free coffee, cookies and paper in the morning. The road noise was surprisingly loud given its distance from the interstate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If you like closeness you got it here. I asked if there were trains in the area blowing whistles the clerk said no or maybe once a week. There were whistles every 15 minutes all through the night. I was insulted by an idiot with a pony tail who told me I did not have the right sewer hose. This is the same hose and attachments I have been using at hundreds of RV parks all over the USA!~ This park should not qualify as a Good Sam.Besides being over crowded those who work there all had a poor attitude. No I do not recommend this place to my worst enemies!Oh I forgot to also mention that you will not get a good night's sleep because people are disrespectful and inconsiderate. We stayed one night which was too many! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were a little worried about this place, as we were towing and knew about the fore/aft pull-through arrangement. Since we arrived early we had no problem getting the forward position, and didn't notice anyone else have issues in the four nights that we stayed. Staff was friendly and laundry was reasonably priced. Wi-Fi bandwidth was poor/sporadic except in late evening. Some noise (dogs, thumping music) from adjoining trailer park, which is under same management. We would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The setting of this park is not to bad. It is a nice park. The grounds were pretty clean. Although, I cannot say the same for the office staff. Not friendly, no to helpful. It was a park that you would feel like you are under surveillance at all times. The laundry room was nice, clean, and good size. I would return to this park again, only if in the area, but may not if I find something nicer. This was just one of those quick over niter covenant. I would not stay any longer if needed to. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
After reading the prior reviews we were worried about staying here, but it turned out to be okay/good. The spaces were close together but with grass between and fairly level - nice shade trees. Laundry was clean and inexpensive - folks in the office nice and helpful. We would have rated higher if they had a dog walk area, you are supposed to walk only on the grass area next to your rig - not enough room for a good walk. Close to good shopping, which we needed after 3 weeks on the road. Is fairly close to the freeway, but the noise was not a problem or really noticed. We were only going to stay one night but extending another because we needed to dry out after 2 days of rain in our prior location. If ever in the area we would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
As you have read in the last couple of reviews. Some folks have to nose in behind another vehicle. Now that's not bad if the guy nosing in is a motorhome, but if it's a 5er or trailer, you're stuck and can't get out. So if you're going for only one night, no problem but if the stay is longer and you want to see the town. . . Other than that, the spaces were a little close, the WiFi was a little slow but the cable was great. Close to many restaurants and grocery stores. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
As other reviewers noted, this park is also a mobile home park, but the two businesses are separate from one another on the property. Staff is very friendly and helpful, and the park is neat and clean. Pull-throughs are double, in a rather strange arrangement, since hook-ups are on the same side for the two sets of rigs. This would mean that one rig must pull in first and the second rig must pull in behind, leaving the tow vehicle trapped. Of course, if the forward rig had a tow vehicle and the second rig was a coach with a toad, then the arrangement works fine. Although we were on the back end, the rig in front of us had not yet arrived so we were able to pull through in reverse. This meant we could hitch and depart the next morning without the need to back out. However, it also meant we were positioned backwards and the hook-ups were on the wrong side. Fortunately, we had sufficiently long cables and hoses. The sites are close together, and because the park was full, there was a bit of a claustrophobic feeling to the place. Although wi-fi is advertised, we did not receive a signal at our site (#25). Cable TV reception is below average. We did not use the showers or restrooms, so cannot comment. This is a good stopover between Salt Lake City and Yellowstone National Park, and it is fairly close to the interstate. Despite the odd arrangement we would definitely return again. Pocatello is quiet in the summer, and very nice college town (home to Idaho State University). We camped 1 night with no pets. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a trailer/RV park, but the trailers are in one area and the RVs in another. The RV part is very well kept, green grass, new looking picnic tables,and huge trees. They have good cable and wifi. We had no trouble moving our 40' motorhome around. It was about full each of the three nights we were there so reservations would be good. While on the phone ask for directions as the directions in Trailer Life are not correct. If ever in this area again we will stay at this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great park and friendly staff. Cable/internet is great. Laundry facilities are great & cheap. Showers are very clean. Really enjoyed this park and close to everything. Local zoo is within walking distant as well as parks. Big rig friendly with pull thrus. Many spaces you have to park behind another unit, but they are very large and accommodates tow vehicles. Overall quiet except for occasional train. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Previous ratings seem a bit harsh. This is a small but extremely well maintained park. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The bathrooms, showers and laundry rooms are immaculate and laundry is cheap, $1.00 for wash and $1.50 for a 60 minute dry. Yes they are double pull thru sites but they are extremely long and should have enough room for most rigs. The staff felt bad that they didn't have the space to put us in the front spot, but it was no big deal. The camper in front of us left so we will be able to pull straight through. I think this is one of the nicest parks we've been in. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We made reservations and informed them that we would be arriving around 9:00PM. When we arrived at 8:58 the office was closed there were only sites with NO water hook-ups and the "pull-through" sites were DOUBLE pull throughs meaning two campers in ONE pull through. There was not enough room for our fifth wheel to back in. VERY small campground. It was an expanded version of the trailer park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Having not been in areas where drug stores or supermarkets were available for a few weeks, this campground was just what we needed for two nights in order to replenish supplies. It was hot (100 degrees F) so we appreciated the shady site we had. It is not a large park but we had no problem getting around and into our site. The sites are setup so that two sites share the same long, paved pad, but each with its own, normally situated hookups. They try to put someone in the second site if the first site is going to leave first, or put a trailer that has no problem backing up in the second site. This park is clean but not fancy; a good short stay campground. Friendly staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.
RV Park is next to a mobile home park. Needs a little TLC as most grass was brown and picnic tables were in poor condition. Pull-throughs are doubles so only the first one in has a true pull-through. Voltage and water were good. Park was quiet, spaces were level for the most part, and easy to maneuver RV around. Good for an overnighter, not much longer. Nice park across the way for travelers with children. Nobody in office for check-in when we arrived so had to fill out a form and drop it in a box with registration and check. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very clean restrooms and showers. Great little spot to spend a night or two. Nice grassy sites with paved pull throughs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Vast trailer park with some rv spaces. What are called pull-throughs are bizarre--see
previous review. No apparent security. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I think they have changed management. We have been here before and it was a lot better. We could not find a pay phone or a place to email. The restrooms were cleaned but not on a regular basis. We usually stay for a few weeks but this time we cut our visit short. We camped here in a camper.

Was an OK park, was well maintained. Spaces are kind of strange in that they put two rigs in the same pull thru, so the last one in really dosn't have a pull thru. We camped here in a camper.
The site was adequate and the Wi-Fi was good. The sewer was uphill so almost unusable. There are side-by-side hookups but the sites have a good space between them. The local TV channels listed in the park brochure are not correct and the person at the desk has no idea what the local channels are because he has cable at home. OK for an overnight stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was an adequate site for an overnight stop, although there was an overall impression of being rather untidy. There was a friendly atmosphere in the reception/recreation area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The location of this park is very nice - a good way off the freeway but still close enough to town. The sites are gravel and very tight. Many of them face interior park roads with no place to step outside except in the street. The WIFI was great, but we were parked right behind the restrooms and the lights at night were so bright we had to cover our bedroom window with a black garbage bag to block out some of the light. No one led us in and we had to really concentrate to see if we were in the right site. The picnic table in our site was "ratty" and the BBQ had been welded so high up that it was unusable for cooking. Good pet area and the property next door had some friendly llamas, donkeys, horses, and a goat. We enjoyed walking our dog down the street that leads to the mobile home park behind the KOA and petting the animals. This place is all right but I really expected better from a KOA. My husband talked to the owner and found out they have only had it for one year and are gradually cleaning up the place. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground has the basics. The location is convenient to the interstate but far enough away that there is no highway noise. It is on the same road as various chain restaurants and hotels but about a mile away from them. The views are very nice and there are plenty of large trees throughout the park. There is no cable TV and only 6 local channels, none of which we could get with our antenna. The WiFi is free and works very well, however. The sites are fairly tight and sites and roads are gravel. Many sites are not level including ours. We were only here for one night so it was fine for what we needed. The staff is very good and helpful. It is a rather small park as KOAs go, but worked for us for a stopover. We would probably stay again but only as stopover. We camped here in a Motorhome.
As we drove into the assigned space with a 45' motorhome we noticed some low hanging branches were brushing the top of the coach. Also during the night the electric service was frequently dropping below 102 volts causing our coach to shut off the electric service. It got so bad that we went outside after midnight and disconnected the power. When we were leaving the next morning we stopped in the office and talked to the owner thinking he would like to know about the low branches and the fluctuating power. When we told the owner about the low branches he stated that he had already trimmed them. Thinking that he had cut the branches after seeing them hit our coach we stated "that's great, did you do them last evening". He stated, "No, I did them last fall". Thinking that he may have misunderstood we stated that we hit the branches yesterday. He stated that he had already trimmed them to clear the highest coach built and that if we had hit them we must have been in the wrong spot and that he was not going to trim them anymore. Not getting any farther with that issue we then mentioned the power problem and he immediately cut us off and stated it wasn't his fault, that it must have been the power company’s problem. We excused ourselves and left. This is not a "big rig" friendly park. We would not stay at this park again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Smallish KOA in a country atmosphere on eastern edge of town, but still convenient to interstate. Many sites have some shade; tent sites on south edge of campground have nice view of low mountains and farmland. Sites a bit close together, but wide enough we could use both our slide out and awning. Several seasonals/longterm campers, but kept tidy. Nice owners who bought the place just 2 weeks prior to our stay. Soft serve ice cream & soft drinks in office, daily breakfast cooked to order in season, gasoline pumps on premises (very convenient!) We definitely find this the better camping choice in town, due to its location & views. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Sites are very close..if we & the rig next to us both had awnings out, we would be touching. "Grassy" area between sites is dry. BBQ & site picnic table are very dirty...would not use. Will not return if we can help it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Facilities and store are very neat. Sites graveled with picnic tables on rather ratty grass but acceptable enough. The place would be pretty confining if full but it was at 1/2 capacity or less on our stay. No hesitation in staying at this place again. Rate was for water/electric. Sewer was $3 more. Free wireless internet cheerfully offered with access codes for each of our two computers. We camped here in a Motorhome.
KOA, what can you say? You know it will be OK. Not more, not less. It is not a bad experience here. Staff are friendly and seem to enjoy themselves and try to make sure their guests do also. Sites not large, roads are dirt, and right now no water at sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place is in need of some work. The trees are in great need of pruning. High profile vehicles should beware. The staff was friendly toward us and helped us find a place that would be suitable for our high profile 5er, but it still required some very slow going and we watched branches rub across the roof. There were some iffy looking campers that may have been long term residents next to us. Their camper had flat tires and the holding tanks were leaking. It was very rusty, old, and an eyesore. We stayed here simply as an overnight stop on the way to Yellowstone. We didn't need to use the picnic tables but they were old and in need of repair and paint. There was not much room between campers for any outside activity. This might be an OK place for an overnight stay for a small travel trailer, but not so great for a high profile 5th wheel or motorhome. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Comfortable and pretty place to stay on our way to Yellowstone. We enjoyed the breakfast, prepared by a cook with a great sense of humor! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is an unmaintained dump ! I only give it 4 points out of 10 for 3 reasons. The 1st is that there are a lot of trees. The 2nd is the prices in the store. They are cheap for a campground. They are not designed to "soak" you just because you are at the campground. The store stays busy because of these prices. The 3rd reason is the staff. They are very polite and helpful. One girl, Amanda, was the perfect counter person. Very nice and helpful and she even washed her hands every time before she served ice cream. I wish every person would do this before they handle your food ! It would only take me and a couple of guys a few weeks to turn this place around. It is a shame that the owners are letting it go. The value is not there for what they charge. Some sites such as 28 & 29 are barely even usable, why not just charge 1/2 price for them for overnighters? The sites are run down. There is NO pool. It gets above 100 degrees there a lot during the summer. Firepits are sunken and almost non-existent. A lot of the fixtures are wood so why not rebuild them? Shame... nice mature trees, friendly staff, why not fix the campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Campground was small. Staff was pleasant. No pool for the kids. My five-year-old jumped into a "rocket" at the playground and was swarmed by wasps. Received six stings before he could extricate himself from the toy and run away. Staff was quick to eradicate the wasp nest. Owner was informed - but didn't stop by to see how the boy was doing. Would have been a nice touch. Pull through site easy to get in and out. Unleaded gas on site at competitive prices. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an typical older KOA, dirt roads, weeds in the sites, and small sites close together. Having said that, this KOA is well run and the staff we encountered were friendly. The place was quiet and we had a pleasant stay. Wi-fi worked well and the park was clean. Even though parks in this area are few this park has a good attitude and does a acceptable job. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Winter rates & service (no water, no sewer) in effect. Decent place for overnighting. Watch for overhanging tree branches. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground was probably just OK, but we were so relieved to have hookups after being in Yellowstone for several days that it seemed like the Ritz! The showers were roomy enough to take a toddler in without much problem. There was a playground there, too. The setup was a little strange, with several pull-through sites in a row along little lanes. It was tight, but we had a picnic table and space for the grill. The WiFi was free and worked well. The laundry was good. Pocatello seemed like a nice place. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Let's see when we arrived the sewer was not working, the power was 30 amp, not the advertised 50, the water looked iffy and 1 1/2" of dust everywhere. Trees hung down to about 9 feet and corners are way too tight for a motorhome. Picnic tables were pre War War 1. Staff was weak at best. One of the worst campgrounds at any price we've stayed in........ever. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park not set up well, price was about $10.00 more than koa book, staff very uncaring and not professional, breakfast bad and expensive for what you get, pets stay off signs everywhere!!!!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This KOA was not too bad as KOA campsites go. The staff was friendly. They also offered breakfast but we did not try it. The sites were not that level and were dirt/compacted gravel. They had wireless internet, but the signal was poor at our site plus they wanted a $6 for a 12 hour session. There is a playground for kids. The location is slightly east of town and about 1.5 miles from the interstate, thus noise from traffic was minimal. The road leading up to the location was under massive construction when we were there making for very tight fit for an RV on the road. We stayed for overnight and would probably stay there again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
