Meadows RV park is the only option around Sun Valley and they know it with their rates. A bit overpriced for what you get.

Meadows RV park is the only option around Sun Valley and they know it with their rates. A bit overpriced for what you get. The positives: Clean bathroom and shower facilities The grounds are also and hook ups are convenient. Some stalls have sewer hook ups. Very convenient to bake paths leading to downtown Ketchum and Sun Valley. Also a short walk to the river. The negatives: Not a tree or landscaping to be found. As I mentioned - overpriced Slow to respond to questions. The office was not manned and it took them a few hours to return my calls.

The Meadows RV park is a good place to stay when visiting Ketchum. We will stay here again. It's better than a hotel, sleep in your own bed, and cook your own food if you prefer. The reservation, check-in, and arrival were as easy as can be. If you expect it to be sort of like camping, it is not. Currently, they are remodeling or reworking the park, so no grass or trees. Also, the shower/rest... The Meadows RV park is a good place to stay when visiting Ketchum. We will stay here again.

If you expect it to be sort of like camping, it is not. Currently, they are remodeling or reworking the park, so no grass or trees. Also, the shower/restroom needs to be bigger and updated and may be part of the remodel. However, we didn't stay here for the amenities. It was perfect for our needs.

This has been a great park and location (Ketchum), with proximity to the Wood River trail and close to Sun Valley. We just came in and the park is really run down. As we were setting up, a woman started throwing hanging plants onto the access road for RV’s, dumping dirt on the rental cabins, and many people riding in at night and speaking loudly after quiet time.

As we were setting up, a woman started throwing hanging plants onto the access road for RV’s, dumping dirt on the rental cabins, and many people riding in at night and speaking loudly after quiet time. This park is adjacent to a mobile home park and the clientele is definitely changing. We are done with this park - owners, Hope you are listening

This two week stay was a caravan of disappointment. We thought we were returning to the RV park shown in the photos on their website and the one we had visited 7 years ago. That was not the case. It really felt like a bait and switch. This park is having an identity crisis. They need to decide if they want to be a mobile home park or an RV Park. They have tiny homes 20 feet in front of the RV... This two week stay was a caravan of disappointment. We thought we were returning to the RV park shown in the photos on their website and the one we had visited 7 years ago. That was not the case. It really felt like a bait and switch. This park is having an identity crisis. They need to decide if they want to be a mobile home park or an RV Park. They have tiny homes 20 feet in front of the RV spots. You can see damage to the tiny homes left by RV’s trying to pull through, which is impossible if you have a long rig and RV’s next to you. You share a picnic table with the RV next door and there is only enough room for one of you to extend your awning at the same time. Water connections are shared and the sewer pipes are a 3 inch connection, which I have never seen in an RV park anywhere before. I expressed my disappointment when I talked to someone in the office and was told the owners are working on improving things and they are going to be planting some trees. Trees are the worst thing they could plant, there is already a lack of space to maneuver your rig and adding an obstacle like a tree makes it even worse. The location of this park is very good being close to Ketchum and the National Forest areas. Just go into this knowing the realities and make the best of your stay.

Would definitely recommend! -Ashley & Terence
