Americana Kampground (208) 344-5733
Not a fabulous campground, but convenient for a day or two and next to Kathryn
Albertson Park - a fabulous park for biking, running or walking the dog. Cable
TV at some sites, good cell service.

Craters of the Moon National Monument
Lava Flow Campground
If you love Geology, this park is like
being in a candy store.
Craters of the Moon is on a huge
lava flow and there are many lava tubes to explore. Be sure to wear good shoes
(the rocks are sharp!) and bring a good flashlight or head lamp. Even if it is
hot, bring a sweater into the lava tubes - it is chilly down there. Not
for the claustrophobic. For a dry-camping spot, I give it pretty high marks.
Campsites have no hook-ups, there are no showers, no wood fires are permitted.
Water is available. They do not take reservations, 14-day stay limit. There are
some sites for big rigs (we stayed in #45).

It was a pretty tight squeeze to fit into the site, but we came in after dark
and left in the morning. Right off the I-84 freeway, so a good spot for
overnight.

Glenn's Ferry
Three Island Crossing State Park
I am sure this is a busy park on summer weekends, but every
time we have stayed here, we have had few neighbors. Great campground, 30 amp
sites with electricity. No sewer at site, but they have a dump station. It is
like camping in a lovely picnic ground - huge, lush, lawn and nice shade trees.
You can get your satellite in most sites. It is often windy here.

The park is in some very pretty territory however, and if you
want to explore... remember, this is only my opinion... and I could be wrong.
Lewis Clark RV Resort is also affiliated with
Coast to Coast.
