Mountain View RV Park

Great place in the middle of nowhere. We give it a 5 because of their little restaurant…excellent home cooking. Had the smoked ribs…falling off the bone delicious.

The park has a lot of pull throughs as well as smaller sites for tents and vans. Gravel roads and sites that are mostly level. Full Hookups. Only negative is the sites may only have 30 amps. (Ours did) Clean bathrooms/showers and a laundry. Lots of mature trees and shade at most of the sites. Good WiFi

Definitely a place to stay again

Sites are level, all pull thru, very clean, easy to get to but the reason for so many extra stars is because of the owners. They took over earlier this year and it’s obvious they are working hard at making it nice. Laundry and restrooms were clean, there are a good number of established trees throughout the grounds and it’s quiet.

The best part is the restaurant they also have on site. Some of the very best food you could find; all from scratch and reasonably priced. The wife cooks, the husband waits tables. They’re originally from NC so they have outstanding bbq ribs, pulled pork, smoked baked potatoes and the BEST potato salad I’ve ever had. It’s not just for campers, locals stop by for dinner. They also have a decent selection of beer, wine and liquor.

We had an issue with the power at our site and he got right on it and fixed it.

We stayed overnight at the Mountain View on the way to Boise. It is certainly one of the nicest private RV parks we have stayed at. Check in with Ryan was easy and very friendly. The park has lots of mature trees which provided lots of shade on this hot summer day. The sites are well laid out with good space in-between. The utilities worked flawlessly. We enjoyed a very tasty dinner onsite. In the morning we requested and were granted an extension on our departure. Don’t miss Pickles restaurant on the Main Street for breakfast.

If you are looking for a quiet place with full hookups and excellent cell signal, this is your spot. At the same time, if you are looking for stuff to do, Arco, ID is not the place. The closest Walmart is 78 miles away. Limited places to buy food or eat out.

Speed Test Data:
T-mobile — 142mbps / 34 up
Verizon — 92 mbps / 23 up

Pros:
- large sites
- Full hookups
- No issues with the power
- Bathhouses are clean
- Quiet low key place

Cons:
- No dog park (but our lot was large enough for our two 50lb dogs)
- No playground or anything to do for kids (we have 3 kids, 5, 7, & 8)

Having trouble with our 2019 truck, we wanted the nicest park reasonably close to Idaho Falls for an indefinite period. This park had the highest reviews. A phone call later, the owner was as accommodating as we needed. After having just been in Alpine, Wyoming, this area initially looked pretty bland. But not the park. Given the ‘almost semiarid high desert’ ecosystem, the park is exceptional. Beautiful trees (which could present fixed satellite tv reception interference) provided great shade for sitting outside. Easily accessible from the main roads (therefore you have the trade off of some road noise). Any park that has an on-site restaurant with great food is going to be to our liking. No cable, but very good internet. Truly an oasis in the desert.

This RV campground has specific rules which keep the campground nice. There are some trees and grass with a gravel pull through. The hookups are well maintained and you will need a threaded male fitting to hook into the sewer. We arrived at dinner time, had a pleasant meal and bed. The internet connection was slow and our cell phone hotspot worked better. There is some highway noise close by, but easy to drown out with a little fan.

Sites very close together. Grass. Lots of rules posted and unfriendly front desk staff makes us think they don't like the business they're in. LOTS of road noise. No fenced dog area, actually no real dog area at all. They have 3 min showers and the laundry now costs $2.50 for wash and $2.50 for dry. Expensive. Next time we will try the KOA here in Arco.
