Planning Your RV Trip to Idaho's Campgrounds

Picking a destination is only half the job. Idaho's campgrounds range from paved state park loops with hookups to primitive forest sites at the end of gravel roads, so a little planning makes the difference between a relaxing weekend and a stressful one.

Match the campground to your rig

Before you commit to a site, check the maximum vehicle length the campground allows and read about the access road. Many Forest Service campgrounds in the Idaho backcountry were laid out decades ago with smaller trailers in mind, and tight turns or low-hanging branches can be a challenge for a large fifth wheel or Class A motorhome. State parks such as Bruneau Dunes generally have more space for bigger rigs. Some also offer electric hookups, but amenities vary from park to park and loop to loop. If you're still deciding what to buy, it helps to think about where you actually want to camp. A compact travel trailer opens up far more remote spots than a 40-foot coach. Browsing our new RVs and used RVs with your favourite destinations in mind is a practical way to narrow things down.

Reserve early for summer

Popular lake destinations like Payette Lake and Bear Lake fill quickly on summer weekends and holidays. Idaho state parks and federal campgrounds take bookings through their official reservation systems, and prime sites can be gone months ahead. Midweek stays and shoulder-season trips in late spring or early fall are often easier to book and less crowded.

Prepare for Idaho's terrain and weather

  • Mountain grades: Routes to places like Hells Canyon involve long climbs and descents. Check your brakes and transmission cooling, and use lower gears on the way down.
  • Temperature swings: High-desert and mountain nights can be cold even in summer. Make sure your furnace works and pack extra layers.
  • Limited services: Fuel, water and dump stations can be far apart in rural areas. Arrive with full fresh water and empty holding tanks.
  • Fire restrictions: Campfire rules change during dry spells. Check the current restrictions with the managing agency before you light anything.

Give your RV a pre-season check

A quick inspection before your first trip of the year can head off problems far from town. Check tire pressure and age, roof seals, batteries, propane connections and the hitch. If anything looks questionable, our service and parts team can help get your rig ready before you head for the hills.
