RV tips for Idaho state parks

Idaho may be famous for potatoes, but for RVers, camping should rank right up there. From quiet river or lakeside fishing holes, to spectacular mountain views, the Gem State has it. Planning on a little RVing in Idaho? Here are a few tips:

Camping Rates: While some states are predictable when it comes to rates, not so in Idaho. State park camping fees vary from park to park, and you could be in for a surprise. To cut the surprise element out, point your web browser to the state's official park web site here. Once there, click the "find a park" function and get thee to the park of your choice. Now click on the "stay overnight" tab to find out your fee.

Internet: If you've to to have your Internet fix, TK Idaho State Parks now have wifi access through a commercial provider. The first 20 minutes on-line are free, afterwards a $3 daily access fee applies. For a map of state parks currently providing access (and a list of "coming soons") click to this website.

  1. I thought the rates were simple. $9 to $22 for sites from primitive to full hookups. A few of the 'special' parks are a tad higher.
