Jerome County Fairgrounds

Needed a place for one night just passing through. Didn’t want to spend $50 at a KOA.

This was perfect. Had water and electric. Dump station (free) was a block away.
There were 2 other rigs there in a big asphalt lot. No tables or anything. Plenty of grassy areas to run the dogs. The payment is an honor system, just put $10 in the box next to the office door.

It was quiet , close to interstate, gas stations, etc. wait till you get to the junction for Twin Falls to get gas, snacks, etc. There are 2 big truck stops there.

Easy on and off HWY 84 but far enough away to not hear traffic. It’s a first come first serve parking lot with electric and water. We only hooked up to power because we just needed a place to overnight. The office was closed but there’s a drop box to put money in ($10 honor system). Men’s bathroom was just ok. There’s plenty of grass to walk the dogs. Renew coffee shop nearby was great for coffee and breakfast bagel.

We left Shoshone Falls and decided to stop here as it was about 30 min. away for one night. Easy to pull in, lots of open spots right in front of the fairgrounds stands. No one was present so we left an envelope with $10 cash in the office box. Restrooms were open but we didn’t use them. There is a pungent smell of manure but that’s to be expected as horses are present.
Dump location is actually behind the Fairgrounds but not accessible from inside the park. You need to go back out to Main Street and turn left & go one block to Date Street and go left to 4th Ave West (Look for street sign for county dump) and turn left. Can’t miss it on the left side and there is plenty of room for big rigs. There is a donation box for dumping.

We found this location through Campendium and so glad we did. Only a few miles outside of Twin Falls. Easy access from the highway. Very easy to find location. If the office is closed there is a slot to deposit your $10. We used both electric and water with no issues. Plenty of room as we were the only ones the night we stayed. Plenty of room to walk your dogs if needed

I stopped here overnight on the way north. It was a quiet, level location with water/electric hookups for $10. There was no check-in form; I put $10 in an envelope with a note and dropped it in the slot by the office door. When I arrived, the lot was empty except for cars at the National Guard armory, but it soon started filling up with pickup trucks. It turned out that there was to be a high school rodeo that night. I always check the events page before coming to a fairground campground, and this was not listed. I saw two other RVs show up later and leave. I got an invite to the rodeo, which made it an enjoyable evening.

Verizon 4G was excellent, with 4 bars, -96 dB, 43 Mbps up and 15 down.

UPDATE: I stopped here again for a week on my way south at the end of August. Don't camp in the first site, by the plant box. It's in a low spot, and if it rains or the maintenance people water the plant box, you will be in a pool of mud. The railroad line is active, but only with the occasional locomotive picking up cars. D&B Supply on Lincoln Avenue has propane, and very fast and friendly service. There's a free dump station behind the fairground on 4th Ave West. It has fresh water at 75 cents for 300 gallons, but there are only fire hose and tanker outlets.

This was a great inexpensive place to stop. If you have dogs there is lots of room that you could let them run. There was a couple people that were exercizing horses on the race track while we were parked there. We had good internet and were able to work from there. Cost is $10 a night and there is a box on the wall by the fair office that you can drop your payment in. The other people who were parked there were all pleasant and considerate. It felt like a safe place to stay. There could be quite a bit of activity based on what is happening at the fairgrounds. Would stay here again. Site quality...30 amp power and water. There is a county dump station on the other side of the race track.

good power 50 30 20 amp. the water is good pressure with 271 TDS (hard water). Large level paved area by the horse track.. the fair office is on the left as you come down road with RV parking on right.. Look of the pedestals in the parking area.

Was told there was a 14 day limit but bet you could get longer if needed depending on time of year.

just down the road is the Twin Cities and Snake River canyon bridge that allow BASE jumping without needing a permit..

We watched 10-12 groups of gals and guys walk out to middle of bridge, climb over the rail and jump off..a perfectly good bridge I might add.. :)

the city sewer dump is close.. you go out by the gas station, turn left, next left on Date St, and then down to 4th street.. there is a sign on right side but somewhat hidden by a tree. there is a donation box but now sure how to put money in it.. no slot to put money..

att hot spot on fast.com was 6.0 meg down more or less
t-mobile on phone was 1.5 meg down.

Overall a good place to spend some days at a good.. good price for elec and water.

The water is turned off for the season but you do have restrooms nearby. Power was only hookup. Two other RVs that appeared to be staying longer.

Needed a overnight stop and this was perfect. Clean, flat sites, on concrete slab. Has electricity and water. There is a dump not far from here. When we stayed the military was having a training exercise on the grass so we had a great helicopter show :) There was only 1 other rv besides us. Quiet and easy. There is a slot to pay or you can pay by the office front doors. We have a booster but we had 4 full Verizon bars. Pull thru sites and easy access to the Highway. We have a 36’ rv and we had no problem.

Very level parking on a fairgrounds parking lot. They have raised the rate to $20 a night, but were only charging $10 because the water was down for repairs. It was about 30 minutes to the Falls, where entrance was free with a national parks pass. We made two trips to the Falls because the light for photographs was much better late afternoon to sunset. Also fewer people in the park. We checked out the nearby dump station, we’ll use it when we leave but know that it does not have potable water.
