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?!?

No amenities except for an ancient out house, but such beautiful surroundings .There's enough water…read moreleft in the reservoir for swimming and plenty of trails for geezer hiking ( I'm a young geezer ,age 64).The dusks and dawns are perfect examples of serenity.The only drawback was an occasional smell of sewage coming from I don't know where. Perhaps the inconsiderate dumping of some solipsistic miscreant. .....also, it's free and secluded.

Absolutely spectacular views of snowcapped mountains with lodgepole pines as far as you can see. There are 16 spacious campsites, no hookups, pump water well, pit toilets, reservations for $14 a night through https://www.recreation.gov/camping/stanley-lake-campground highly recommended. It is wonderfully peaceful and absolutely breathtaking. Fishing was great, the lake allows motors although we only saw a few kayaks. Husband caught a few trout and they were yummy. The views of the mountains will keep you captivated for hours. We camped in our very large 30 for trailer and fit just fine. Host was very nice and sells firewood for $7. The very small town of Stanley is close by with gas, a couple restaurants and a market, but bring what you need because there isn't a lot of choice. This is one of the most beautiful campgrounds we have ever stayed at.

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.

After the eclipse he took me shooting with a group of people and let me shoot some of this guns, he even fired off a canon. There's no running water, which isn't a problem at all for most people. There isn't a public bathroom, also not a problem for most people. There is electricity, which is great for people with campers. The place is exactly what his website says it is. All of that and it's free. I kind of feeling like only an idiot or a jerk would review this place with anything less than 4 stars. P.S. - Beer fridges don't fill themselves, be a darling and throw some more in there to replace those ya drink. Owner's fun to have a drink with.

This campground was a joke. Not up to KOA standards at all. The in ground pool was all dug up…read morefilled halfway with nasty green water. They instead set up an above ground pool which was super cold and the ladder was flimsy. There are old dilapidated buses that people live in with trash all around it . The dog park was just dirt and most of the grass around the campground was dead. I would not recommend anyone to stay here. I didn't step foot into the bathrooms or laundry area. Stay elsewhere and KoA needs to remove this as a KOA.

Powdered dirt. I did have a small shade tree and picnic table, but no fire ring. The loud clicky sprinkler ran the first night and all day. They remembered to turn it off at night the second night. I went in the office three times and the guy on the phone (always on the phone) didn't even acknowledge my presence. I can't give a 1 star since this KOA says it's owned by Vets, but get ur $-it together and represent!! I wouldn't stay here and would pay more to stay at another campground or go stay in the forest. Recommend you stay elsewhere.

This is a BEAUTIFUL campground on Little Red Fish Lake in Stanley, Idaho. It's fairly small,…read moreprobably less than 10 camping spots on the whole site, so if you snag one...you are a lucky duck (all sites are first come, first serve). This campground has gorgeous pines throughout and sits right on the edge of Little Red Fish Lake. Cost: I came here with a fairly large group of people (16), so we had to snag two camping spots. They only allow one car per site, but you can purchase extra parking passes if necessary. We paid $18 per spot per day and $9 for each additional car. (You'll want to bring cash with you to pay, as there is no way to pay for the sites via cc or check!) ETC: - No showers (wah, wah), but if you're going into the Idaho wilderness, you might as well be ready to rough it, amiright?? - They do however have bathrooms with stalls, a sink, and a mirror (for a camp-sight, these bathrooms are very well kept and clean #PRAISE). - Access to drinkable water. - Firewood for purchase on sight ($7 a bundle). - Each camp-sight comes equipped with a firepit and picnic tables. - Bonus: lots of trees, so if you have a hammock, be sure to bring it along with you!
