F R E E place to camp near Craters of the Moon Nat'l Monument! Just take the Fish Creek Reservoir…read moreturnoff from U.S. 93, and follow the good gravel road to the edge of the "reservoir." I use quotation marks, because the water is mostly dried up...so it's basically a big meadow with a puddle in the middle. There is a vault toilet, one picnic table and one BBQ grill....but room enough for several campsites. Not really any shade, but still a picturesque and quiet place to camp. And did I mention it's F R E E ??? For up to 14 days? The only drawback here is it can be windy, and the cows which wander the meadow can be kind of loud. But it's free; what to do you want? The Ritz?!?

Perhaps the inconsiderate dumping of some solipsistic miscreant. .....also, it's free and secluded.

Very clean and charming. Nice place to hook up the RVs before heading off grid. Glad we stopped.read more

We had a terrible experience with the customer service at this RV park…read more We had a reservation, but when we got there, there was no one at the office to check in. There was a sign saying to call if they weren't there. So we tried calling on three of our cell phones. No one answered. We waited for 15 minutes and finally decided to just find an empty spot and come back to the office in a bit (hoping someone would show up). Well as soon as we start to park, someone comes up on a golf cart and starts yelling at us. I don't mean politely asking us what we're doing, full on yelling. We explain that no one was at the office and the owner rudely says that there's a sign telling you to call. We explain that we did call several times and no one answered. She then checks her phone and gets kind of embarrassed, realizing she ignored our calls. She got nicer at this point and told us what spot we were in, but it was too late for me. Even if you didn't know what someone is doing, you could be polite about it. The RV park itself is fine but nothing special. The WiFi is awful, so don't expect to really be able to do anything on it. I would never recommend staying here because of the terrible management/customer service and bad check in process.

The owner, Maryann, is so accommodating and gracious. She escorted me to my site, made sure the hook ups were working and that I was lined up properly for my slide. She even delivered a UPS delivery to my RV! The owners are currently making a number of upgrades to the park and I look forward to seeing the changes when I come through the area again next year. I'll definitely be staying here again. Had excellent cell signals with both Verizon and AT&T. The park does offer complimentary Wifi that is good for checking email and Internet browsing, but as I enjoy streaming movies and music I used my own hot spot connections. Again, this is a great spot to stay a night or longer for an extended stay!

The rooms are quaint and well kept and the suite I stayed in was themed from the Hobbit. The outside is colorful and whimsical in many ways. My two sons had a cat as company one of the evenings they sat out when it got dark out as it came by several times for pets and some lap time. The indoor cat Pistachio is a little cutie and very friendly.

While I knew of Idaho National Laboratory, I was not familiar with this awesome free museum or our nations first nuclear reactor and the small town down the road that was the first to have all electricity supplied from a nuclear power plant! They have done an amazing job maintaining the reactor as a museum and have both a guided or self guided tour to enjoy learning a bit more about EBR-1. This is off the beaten path and I stumbled on it while I was going to see Craters of the Moon National Park. It was just a short way off the highway and couldn't pass up the opportunity to check it out, what's a little time when already well off the beaten path in this part of Idaho?! Small parking lot out front, bathrooms on second floor. There are a number of stairs to get to the top of the reactor and then down into the basement to check out the bottom to consider if traveling with limited mobility guests. If you are in the area, definitely worth checking out this bit of history!

The staff there was very laid back and kind when we arrived and the history of the site is explained in a pretty engaging way. You can download your own walking tour if you want to listen to the audio, which we did and found it very helpful. I would liken it to alcatraz's self -guided tour. I really appreciate it when they use storytelling to kind of bring locations to life. It's amazing how groundbreaking this place was in the development of a nuclear power and the exhibits are all really well put together in educational without being too scientific or overwhelming. It was really neat and informative and it is definitely worth a stop if you're passing through.

Visitor center is chock full of gifts and swag for NPS and Craters of the Moon. Get your NPS passport stamp here, good restroom facilities, top off on your water, get a map and get the free permit stamp/brief for the cave portion. The ranger fee station is just down the road after you have your permit and off and running you go! The loop is a quick drive by itself. There are multiple pull off areas with parking for hiking trails or a quick scenic over prior to it transitioning to the one way roads. Adequate parking available for light season. Bathrooms are available at a few of the major stops as well (old school no running water). The lava fields trails and approximately 3/4 of a mile (one way) hike to the caves can be very warm on a hot day. Ensure to stay hydrated and use some sunscreen if spending quality time within the park. Enjoy!

That's why you don't wanna throw anything down there. + So glad I didn't chicken out of checking out Dewdrop Cave and Indian Tunnel. If you're visiting the Mt West hoping to visit gems like Wind Cave or Lewis and Clark Caverns SP and are disappointed to realize the spots fill out early, here's a fantastic consolation: scrambling around the boulders of the fascinating Caves Trail caves. + Peaceful place to camp safely too. Not too far into the wilderness away from infrastructure. - Seemed to be few restrooms or water throughout the Loop Rd though. + Glad there's a lavatory and trash bins at Caves Trail parking though. - Virtually no shade throughout the monument.
