Sites
The Snake River RV Park campsites are pretty close together, gravel. Pull-thrus and back-ins. Pretty level area. Grass is watered regularly and mowed.
Campground advertising a “quiet off-highway location,” but it is right off the highway and not very quiet at all.

Cell & Internet
Campground offers free wifi that is okay, but gets slow in the evenings with everyone in the park getting on it.
Cell service was good (Verizon and AT&T) so we used our cellular internet mostly.

Snake River RV Park – Overall
Things we liked:
- Easy to get to town – we biked along the road to connect to the Greenbelt Trail that is a 6-mile paved trail up and down the riverfront on both sides, which is a really nice trail.
- Laundry – cheap and easy access – nice to have two buildings for closer option
- Hot tub was adults-only
Things we didn’t like:
- Noise from highway
- Tightly packed sites – we lucked out and had a site in the corner so ours was relatively big and private, but all the others were very close and open.
Overall we had a good stay at the Snake River RV Park – full hookups and good internet. Used the pool only once because it was on the smaller side and was constantly full (it was pretty hot in Idaho Falls in August!). We liked the town of Idaho Falls quite a bit.
