Meadows RV Park

We loved that the bike path was just a short distance from the campground. The bike path is wonderful for getting onto the Wood River Trail and a short distance from Ketchum, Elkhorn and sun valley, as well as some other places. Awesome bike path and well maintained. The person in the office couldn’t have been nicer and agreed to change our campsite so we could have more shade. It was a hot week. The campsites are the closest we’ve ever been in a campground. Like others said just a small strip of grass between which is ok as we weren’t there most of the day but when Eveyone returned it felt a little too cozy. Not all sites have a picnic table. We didn’t but there really wouldn’t have been room for it. I know that keeping staff must be a problem and the bathrooms needed attention. Only one of the two showers locked and had any hooks. There was debris around but that’s on all of us who camp there. I’m dismayed that people were willing to leave the bathroom with paper on the floor etc and that they didn’t have the staff to attend to that. We’d go back just fie the proximity to the bike path and town as it is the only place in the vicinity with hook ups.

This park is Not for Big Rigs. Buddy sites which steps of our RV were super close to neighbors steps-4feet. We had to share a picnic table between sites. Great people but really weird if you wanted to sit outside. Could not open awning because too close. Water pressure was extremely low. Disrespectful guy ran over our solar lights, stopped, got out to see he destroyed our cats lights and then left. We’ve been full fine RVs over a year. Three washer
and dryers for an RV park and the mobile homes communities. Had to go into town instead. Only positive was that this park was near the bike trail.

The only positive is that it is close to a great bike path! Here are the remaining “highlights”: property had quite a bit of trash littered throughout. My wife actually spent an afternoon picking up a few bags of garbage around the park and an adjacent field. The restroom showers do not have a lock! The front office is only occasionally staffed. Don’t bother emailing or calling as it is unlikely you will receive a response back. It is unfortunate - if the management cared, this place could be amazing.

As others have stated this RV park is basically a parking lot where you have a small strip of grass between sites. That being said, it is the closest location to Sun Valley with full hookups. We visited in April for some late season skiing and it was perfect for what we needed. It wouldn’t be my fist choice in summer but it was not crowded in Spring, was quiet and super convenient to town and the ski resort.

I'll start with the good...the camp host and manager are absolutely lovely people. They were so kind....from letting us check in early, making change so we could do laundry, making it so we didn't have to change sites halfway through our stay and being more than happy to accept a package of baby formula for us. However....the sites are RIGHT on top of each other. We full time and stay in a lot of campgrounds....this was the tightest I've seen. The spots are flip flopped so you open doors to your neighbors. We love people but when there is all of 3 feet between your rigs it feels like a parking lot. Make sure you have extra sewer lines...you'll need them to reach because the hookups are way far back on the sites. Also they say grass is between the sites....not on all rows. Ours was a mix of dirt and weeds. No grass in sight.

All in all...it's hard because there is no where else to stay in the area. We were going to leave and boondock the last few nights because we were over feeling like we were in a parking lot but it was almost 95F out...

Location is great so there is that!

Pros: Close to town and right on the bike path.

Cons: extremely small space between campers. Got told to pick my mat up out of the dirt because they were trying to grow grass. Okay, I get it. But it’s mid July, in a heat wave and a extreme drought, with signs saying “conserve water”. Fun fact: that’s not grass, it’s weeds living in the moon dust. Your grass didn’t make it, sorry/not sorry for the bad news. Our sewer hook up had been broken off, probably from someone running it over trying to get in or out, and was covered by a brick. Smell that??? I do to. This place is 💩.

This is a basic FHU park with no amenities. The sites are tight and you are close to Hwy 75. That said, the area is beautiful, you can walk to the Wood Run paved walking/biking m/running trail and the proximity to Hailey, Ketchum and Sun Valley is perfect.

The manager Perry was great and the staff were very friendly. They were working overtime to get the sites rehabbed from a long winter of snow. Since it was early spring, which is shoulder season, we had the whole end of the park to ourselves. Our big rig fit in the tight spot and were happy there was no one nearby! We probably would have been less happy if they had been busier since sites share a small patch of grass and picnic table with another rig, but the end sites like 24 and 25 don’t share the common grass area.

We did not use shower/bathrooms or laundry. Overall, this park is pleasant and has some mountain views. We heard some road during the day but it was very quiet at night.

The Wi-fi was minimal but good cell signal, especially Verizon was great.

If its winter and if you ski, awnings and lack of grass wont make a difference. The place only had a few other brave December RVers i cant speak to summer spacing. Since we needed to be near sun valley to babysit my 4 & 8 year old nieces and there are no other rv parks nearby it worked just fine. The Sawtooth area is a favorite but with snow and a 40 foot rv there was no way. Plus we were on school duty. The bathrooms were clean and the laundry was clean. Yes its off site but no further away than in places I've stayed with them onsite. Surprisingly the highway is quiet, especially at night. The staff were super nice, especially Rita.
