Cool spot by the water. Smells and sounds like the ocean. Great view and ambience to sleep and wake by.
Complete with table and fire pit. Plenty of space for tent camping if desired.
Very easily accessible. Clean. Quiet.

I needed a quick spot not too far off the main road for a place to grab some sleep before moving on. Pulled in way late after dark and found a suitable spot.

I needed a quick spot not too far off the main road for a place to grab some sleep before moving on. Pulled in way late after dark and found a suitable spot. I imagine this place is frequented by locals due to ease of access. Good spot for a stop but can't say I'd stay for a week. Or even 3 days... arriving in the dark did lead to a wonderful surprise in the morning when I saw my view!
Some larger TTs but not really large rig or big rig friendly at all.
No generator rules. Several still running at 1am. (But hushed by the sounds of the river)

A scrubby but pleasant site right on the Snake River. Lots of shore birds to watch (a hallmark of the town it's in, American Falls). Boat ramp. Clean bathroom, easy access to the campground, but except for two sites adjacent to the boat ramp, the others are rough to get into. We used the first one as you come in, very picturesque.

A scrubby but pleasant site right on the Snake River. Lots of shore birds to watch (a hallmark of the town it's in, American Falls). Boat ramp. Clean bathroom, easy access to the campground, but except for two sites adjacent to the boat ramp, the others are rough to get into. We used the first one as you come in, very picturesque. But the loop to get in and out if the campsite is not graded and full of big ruts. We ended up backing out when we left, up an incline. Thank goodness for four wheel drive. Many bugs but not too many that bite. Ground around site was a dusty dirt, so be vigilant.
I took some pics that show the turn off to get there as we got turned around. Maps show it is off Neely, but as you can see in pic it's Eagle Rock.

When you are relocating and stopping just one night in a place, sometimes you find yourself in a cramped RV park, or a Walmart parking lot. Sometimes you stumble on a beautiful free BLM campground. That was the case at Pipeline Campground near American Falls in Idaho.
We just needed an overnight place to break up our journey and ended up spending a magical evening sitting on the end of a pier watching the sun go down and the beautiful birdlife. The campground is less than 2 miles from the freeway. There are just 8 sites here, some are not suitable for RVs, but a few of them are. There were a couple of uninhabited RVs there, and some people using the boat ramp and fishing people when we arrived. But as the sun went down it was just us and the pelicans!
The flies are monumental but they were not biters! We managed to enjoy the sunset with minimal interference. Just be careful when opening the doors.
