Inclusion policyWe have a zero-tolerance policy against discrimination at Hipcamp. We are committed to helping our Host and Hipcamper communities be inclusive.
This was a great stop for us. It was off season and there were no activities going on at the fair grounds, so there was absolutely no one at the campgrounds. It was just pull in, hookup (the trailer that is) and enjoy the peace and quiet. The area is just a big, flat, grassy field. I suspect though that if there had been something going on at the fair it would have been entirely different.

We stayed one night at the fairgrounds while traveling through Idaho. We had the site all to ourselves, it was very quiet and a great place to stay for the night. We did not test the electrical or water hook ups but did see them in place.
I'd recommend this location to folks who are traveling through and are looking for an affordable, clean, quiet, safe place to stay.

Would stop here again!

Loved staying here! I stopped here both going and coming home on a longer road trip. Not too far off the main road, beautiful sunsets and sunrises, and much easier than hauling everything in and out of a hotel room with a dog and vehicle that is packed full. While I was the only person there both times and it was mostly quiet because I had no camping neighbors, there was a bit of activity nearby from locals or staff on the property. Incredibly easy to get in and out, do read their directions because the map will take you to the wrong road.

Comfy and simple

The grass was pleasant and there were trees bordering the grounds. It was t too loud or bright, and felt removed enough from a road or other buildings to feel private and safe. Unfortunately, the water was turned off in the morning, with no explanation.

All to ourselves
28 ft Class C · With kids
What a great place to spend the night while traveling I-84. We were the only campers there. The RV area is well kept and green. Not to sure about the water, there were hookups at each site but the info for the site on Hipcamp said non-potable, no sign were posted reflecting the the water was unsafe. The electrical (30amp) receptacles do not accommodate larger plugs with handles, lucky for us we had an adaptor. The spot we choose only took 2 inches to level. I would defiantly stay there again.
