Oregon Trail Campground

We stayed here for 7 nights over Labor Day weekend. We had planned to only stay for 4 nights but extended our stay as there is so much to do in the area. There is no pool and a very small playground. The laundry area was small but clean and affordable ($1.50 to wash and $1 to dry). They have a nice book/DVD exchange but no onsite store. There is a nice gas station and McDonald’s that you can walk to. The owners are very family oriented and so kind. They truly care about their guests! We will definitely stay again!

Mark, the host, took us right to our site so we could get the AC going before doing paperwork. Sites were narrow gravel pull throughs.
The location worked well as it was close access to Shoshone Falls and the Perrine bridge for the local sites. Mark provided a local tourist map and suggested routes.
Mosie, our dog, enjoyed the dog run off in the one corner. The entry side is not fenced and the left side has a tree/bush fence so he could not have free rein.
The entry/exit is a single lane so stopping there is not an option.

We stayed here for a week in the spring while looking for housing in Twin Falls. The Owner, Mark, and his staff were great hosts during our visit. He called us to check if we were okay when we were running late and was there to help at our arrival and departure. This is a nice, quiet and safe place to stay. The grounds and facilities were clean and well maintained, showing pride of ownership in this location.

Best thing about this park was our initial contact with the owner/manager lady who gave us a very warm welcome and went the extra mile to find us a spot for the night. We hadn't called ahead and at first she thought we might have to squeeze into a place in the tent camping area. Eventually though she found us a pull-through space for just the one night.

This park appears to cater primarily to long term and seasonal tenants. Most of the sites and the rigs occupying them were clean and tidy, but a few were a little sketchy. It backs up to a residential area, separated from it by a high wooden fence. The rest of the surrounding area is primarily agricultural land - with the accompanying agricultural odors. Restrooms were clean and adequate.

Given that this park is a 15-20 minute drive from the interstate, it's not a super easy pull-off/pull-on place to spend the night, but it worked for us. All services are within a short drive.
