Idaho Camping Guide 2026: Campgrounds, State Parks, and Scenic Drives for Tent and RV Camping

By Alexander Paul

Idaho holds some of the most varied camping terrain in the American West - and most guides only show you a fraction of it.

This book is organized by region, not by an endless alphabetical list, so you can plan a trip around wherever your route actually takes you: the granite peaks and alpine lakes of the Sawtooths, the Yellowstone-Teton gateway around Island Park and Henrys Lake, the high desert and canyon country of southern Idaho, and the cedar forests and glacier-carved lakes of the northern Panhandle.

Inside, you'll find:

Nearly 60 real campgrounds and state parks, each with a quick-reference box for elevation, nightly fee, season, and whether it suits tents, RVs, or bothA regional map and season-by-elevation guide so you know exactly where - and when - to goA dedicated chapter on Idaho's best hot springs for campers, several reachable right from your campsiteScenic drives, sample itineraries, and a trip-cost estimator to help you actually plan the trip, not just dream about itPractical essentials: reservation timelines, fire-restriction basics, wildlife and Leave No Trace guidance, a packing checklist, and a fishing-species quick referenceHonest, sourced information - fees, site counts, and seasons pulled from official Forest Service, state park, and Recreation.gov listings, not recycled marketing copyOver 100 pages of region-by-region detail, built for campers who want a real plan, not just a list

Whether you're pulling a travel trailer into a full-hookup state park for a week or hiking three miles to a dispersed site with everything on your back, this guide gives you the honest, specific information to plan a trip you'll actually enjoy - not just a name and a dot on a map.

Grab your gear, pick a region, and get out there.
