Dubois is where you get off I-15 on your way to Craters of the Moon. I wanted to get there early in the day to have the best chance to get a site, so decided to drive to Dubois and overnight there, then head to Craters in the morning.
Dubois is a very quiet little town, and they allow RVers to park along the edge of the park, which is right behind the County Courthouse/Sheriff's office/Ambulance service. The park is green and pleasant. The street is a bit rundown as it's along the back of the municipal buildings, but there is virtually no traffic.
There isn't much in town, but do be sure to check out the Wild Hare Cafe. They make really good sandwiches and the raspberry shake might be the best one I've ever had.
As icing on the cake, the Dubois Dump Station is adjacent to the park so super easy to dump and fill on your way out.
Easy access from 15, but far enough away to not hear traffic.
Small, well maintained city park where RV parking is allowed along the perimeter.
Felt very safe and comfortable parking overnight. Dump station and water available.
The Wild Hare Restaurant is across the street we had great sandwiches and homemade ice cream.
This town has done a great service to travelers. Overnight parking, potable water, and dump station all in the same block. We pulled in and found a large grass/gravel place for our motorhome and tow. Super large playfield to walk. Very quiet. Thank you City of Dubois! Please consider a donation in the box provided at the dump site for all these great amenities.
We did not stay overnight but pit stop so kids could do their online classes. Quiet place to stop and well maintained park! I’d stay over without a doubt. Nice job Dubois!!
I was looking for a stop over on the way north and this place was perfect. There's a dumping station by the entrance/exit of the park and potable water too. The park is beautiful and very well maintained, with a lot of room for my daughter to run off some energy and some swings and a playground too, which totally made her day.
The road is a little rough, but no pot holes and still very level all along the park. It was also nice and wide, so I was able to make a full U-turn with my truck and 28' camper so we could park the opposite direction.
The park is a block from a gas station that has lots of space for bigger vehicles, which was awesome for us to gas up on our way out, and its right off the freeway for easy access on and off.
Close enough to walk to the Phillips 66 which is a wonderful store/gas station. There are showers there also. Free water and dump nearby. A little road noise. It not too shabby for a free overnight!
We stayed here on 8-21-2021. It is right by the city park, but there were no activities when we were there. The area is quiet, as is the whole town. We actually did not see any signs indicating that this is a camping area, but there seemed to be no prohibition either. The area is level with grass and gravel. There is a dumpster near by for convenient trash disposal. There was some dog poop in the area, hence my "cleanliness" rating of only 4. We would stay here again, if we were in the area.
The site is accurately described here. Just pull up along the fence line of the park. There is a dump station and potable water available. Slight lateral leveling required but I was able to remain hitched. Pretty quiet but slight HWY noise that abated later into the night. Great for an overnight layover on your travels. Fuel station right by the freeway. Town was pretty much closed down however, so no restaurant to visit and contribute to the local economy. Access is clearly marked on Main Street. Signs are on your left pointing the way. 36’ fifth wheel.
