I CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW THE CAMP HOST WAS SO VERY RUDE! The grounds were fine, but the incident that occurred at Juniper Campground in Ririe, Idaho, on the evening of Saturday, September 13, 2025 left a very bitter taste in our mouths about the trip. What was intended to be a joyful family outing turned into a distressing experience due to the conduct of the camp host. My father-in-law and his wife had made a reservation at Juniper Campground for the weekend and invited my family to join them--myself, my two sons, and our grandchildren. We were all excited to spend quality time together and to try out our newly purchased travel trailers. As first-time trailer owners, this was meant to be a fun and educational experience before the camping season ended. Unfortunately, I had previously purchased concert tickets for an event at Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls scheduled for Saturday evening. My sons and I decided to briefly leave the campground to attend the concert and return afterward. We left in the early evening and returned around 10:20 PM. Upon arrival, we found the second entry gate--through which we had originally entered--locked with a padlock. We then drove to the first gate, which had rising arms and red LED lights, but it did not respond. I exited the vehicle to search for an intercom or manual override, but found none. While attempting to look up a contact number, a white truck with an orange cone in the back approached rapidly. The driver, who identified himself as the camp host, immediately confronted me in an aggressive and profane manner. He shouted, "What the hell are you doing at my gate?" I calmly explained that we were campers returning from a concert and were trying to re-enter the campground. He responded with hostility, saying, "The gates are locked at 10 PM. Didn't you read the rules?" I replied that we had not received any rules, as my 78-year-old father-in-law had checked in first and inadvertently failed to pass them along while we were focused on setting up our trailers. The host continued to berate me, accusing me of lying and using profanity such as "Bullsh*t, everybody receives the rules." When asked for our campsite number, I was momentarily unsure, as my father-in-law had directed us to our spot upon arrival. While I searched for the information, the host continued to question our motives, saying, "Why are you leaving and returning to the campsite this time of night?" I explained our concert plans, only to be met with further disbelief and ridicule. He mocked my Van Halen t-shirt and claimed, "Nobody goes camping to leave for a concert," and "Those bands sucked. The last time I saw Van Halen was in 1979." At this point, I attempted to clarify our situation, but the host warned me that if I raised my voice, he would not allow us back into the campground. After locating a screenshot of our reservation details, I showed it to him. He finally allowed us entry and handed me a printed copy of the rules, stating, "Next time, read the rules." This interaction left me feeling humiliated, belittled, and treated as though I were a criminal. The camp host's behavior was not only unprofessional but bordered on harassment. I understand the importance of rules and quiet hours, but they should be enforced with courtesy and respect--not hostility and profanity. I am deeply disappointed by this experience and will not be returning to Juniper Campground. I'm leaving this review to ensure others are aware of the treatment we received. Guests deserve to feel safe and welcomed--not intimidated or verbally abused. read more

Quiet Large grassy sites Clean Little far from any conveniences like groceries so prepare before camping here. read more

This place is great! We had an unexpected extra days stay on our trip to Yellowstone. On the way home we needed to stay in Idaho Falls to get a windshield replaced. I searched for nearby camping and found this gem! It's incredible! Great cell service, full RV hookups, and the price is AMAZING! PLUS, the scenery right against the Ririe Reservoir is beautiful! The park is very clean and well kept. It's great! I can't recommend it enough! read more

We started heading pretty far away from snake river and started getting concerned we were not going to like the location/camp site. We turned off the main highway and we were not optimistic at all. BUT, as soon as we started pulling up to the park and saw the blue on the GPS, we knew it was going to be at least decent. This has turned out to be the BEST park we have camped. We miss it already. We were at site A 01 and it had a yuge green area right in front of the camper and was the closest camp site for a walk to the lake (which is beautiful by the way). We enjoyed ourselves so much that we did not mind the long drives to Jackson, Grand Tetons, and Yellowstone. The west entrance to YNP in Montana had a great little town that provided a great lunch after our visit to the park. This is a MUST stay in my opinion if you have kids or dogs or both. All of this and it's only $25. read more

Loved it couldn't have been any better. They worked with me the whole time I felt like I was falling behind, but they reassured me. I was OK and that was good to me read more

Needed a place to rest and camp for a night before heading into the Grand Tetons. This campground was just the place. Nice and quiet, level, paved camp sites. Full hookups for $25 cant be beat! read more

Wish I could give it zero stars. Rude and disrespectful. Other welcoming and fun campsites just minutes away. Go to Heise instead. Hot springs, zip line, golf and pool with water slide. Nice people! read more

A Hidden Gem for a County Campground Most recent stay was 8/04/16 - I'm "late" in posting my review ~ We camp in a "Tear Drop" style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table and set up our dining canopy for sun and weather protection and thus rely on condition of campgrounds facilities and being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area Overall this park has nice facilities; 3 loops with paved roads and sites which are very nicely spaced-out and mixed together with grass & juniper bushes. It has flush toilets and spacious showers in every loop. The showers have dated and annoying spray heads but decent water pressure w/hot water and a bench in changing area. All are kept clean. No dump station however, and no hooks or shelves in shower stalls or community sink area - air dryers only no paper towels for you to clean up the sinks after use. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring with lots of room between them and all sit on top of relatively flat plateau above the reservoir. some sites have very little shade (the juniper bushes provide spots of low-lying shade for the sitting area), but limited shade for the RV & it can get very hot in summer. Many sites have full hookups (either 30 or 50 amp/water/sewer), plus prices are outstanding. Overnight Camping Fees: $10.00 tent area and dry dock camping (only $18 for FHU!). ($2.00 discount for Idaho State Parks and Recreation Golden Age pass holders) Most sites have no view of the water except for sites 10,12,14 This park is way out there near the Juniper Dam Recreation Area; very quiet, about 20 mi from Idaho Falls where you can shop for groceries and eat at restaurants. read more

Last minute great campground find! Running water, flush toilets, and supposedly working showers (haven't tried but they look clean). The evening person I called slightly panicky since we didn't know where we are going to stay the night yet, was extremely nice and reserved a spot for us. Overall a wonderful campsite and staff. read more

Juniper Campground - Our little tent on our little campsite. We had to place the tent between the trees because of the crazy wind that night - Campgrounds Near Me - Ririe, Idaho

What a great stay. Everything worked the way it was suppose to. Power, Water and Sewer. We had a great spot, even got in some fishin'. Thank you Bob and Staff, keep up the good work. 3 nights. Clean restrooms and showers. Clean Park. read more

Awesome RV campground and very reasonable pricing for FULL service during Covid 19 pandemic AND summer season! Spacious too! We got lost on the way here due to GPS trying to get us into the boating ramp area rather than the RV campground entrance and arrived 9:30pm. Host was extremely nice to let us in and tell us where the empty lots were. We were afraid we might have to camp at a rest stop with 3 young kids. He even said don't worry about trying to fill out payment in the dark, you can pay in the morning! Thank you for long day journey end with a pleasant and comfortable night! read more

This is one of the nicest campgrounds I've been at except Oregon state parks. the showers are a little weird (in the men's) the the host is nice there is automatic sprinklers so watch out for them.its a quiet little campground. All the staff are actually nice they ride little golf cart things the host rides one of them too. We got a twelve with the tent pad. Its a nice 3 loop camp and I think all lopes have showers and flush toilets. And it is only ten dollars a night at least on July 23-24 2017. read more

First of all be aware this place is out in the middle of nowhere. Watch also your GPS, try to take main roads if you have a big rig because some of the roads are small 90 degree turns. We got site C-8 I think? Or C-6, nice pull through. However if you're not boating or fishing or otherwise doing anything related to the reservoir there is basically nothing to do and nothing nearby. It's remote. Bob, the campsite host was great. Really nice guy. I can't recall anything about WiFi. Not sure they had any. It was fine and quiet but wouldn't go again for short stay, needs to be more destination with planning for boating and fishing. We were just passing though. read more

This is one of the cleanest RV parks we've ever stayed in and very reasonably priced as well.

The site looked really nice- but there is no tent camping on weekdays! So we didn't get to camp but the man who was running the site was nice and let us know some more information about where we could tent camp during the week, just down the street. Hope this helps! read more

Quiet campsites and super clean restrooms and showers. Camp Host is excellent. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful campground with spacious full seevice sites. Lots of well cared for grassy areas between sites. And if you are a boater, the Ririe reservoir is right there. Campground host does a great job. And $25/night can't be beat. read more
