We reserved our spot here about 8 hours beforehand. Thankfully, they had an opening since it looked pretty full when we arrived. We arrived after the office was closed and it was still easy to "check in". It is right next to the highway, but highway noise is the best white noise! It was NOT loud. No honking, sirens or any of that annoying highway noise. No loud noises from the people around either... We reserved our spot here about 8 hours beforehand.

The whole area is so nicely maintained and clean. We were very satisfied with how clean the bathrooms and showers were. The staff was very friendly and nice when we made our reservation over the phone. The price is unbeatable as well. We would definitely stay here again!!!

This is a clean basic RV Park. Great Showers, only criticism is only a couple for entire park. Right next to the interstate but if you look at the map when you book why are you surprised that there is truck noise. Location is excellent if you want access to BSU or downtown Boise.

This is a basic rv campground with showers, restrooms and laundry facilities. Lots of asphalt with a little grass runner for each site. Very, very clean and the showers are AMAZING. Cleanest cg showers I've ever encountered. Spacious and roomy with a bench and shower caddy and hooks. Great water pressure and plenty of hot water.

The location is pretty close to shopping, within 15 minutes of anything you need. Not super great for dogs, but there is an empty lot across the street that we used to walk our large dog. I would definitely stay here again.

This RV park is awesome!! Brittany and Justin are the best hosts we’ve ever had. They keep the park immaculate. The bathroom/showers are the cleanest I’ve ever seen. The laundry facilities are spotless and air conditioned!! Would definitely stay here again.

The staff was super friendly, and the facility was very well kept. The restroom/shower building seemed like it recently had a full remodel - it was really, really nice. Great proximity to downtown and the Boise State campus. But it sits on the interstate, and that traffic noise is incredibly loud. We finally closed up our motorhome and turned on the AC just to muffle that noise.
