Campgrounds and RV parks near Rigby, ID

Rigby sits in Jefferson County in eastern Idaho, about 15 miles north of Idaho Falls and roughly a two-hour drive from the west entrances to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The town works as a practical basecamp for RV travelers heading to the Snake River corridor, the Henry's Fork, and the St. Anthony Sand Dunes. RV options in and around town lean toward full-service private parks. Yellowstone Lakeside RV Park and Campground offers big-rig pull-throughs and full hookups within walking distance of Jefferson County Lake (locally called Rigby Lake). Snake River Hideout, Wakeside Lake RV Park, Idaho Sky RV Resort, and Snake River RV Park And Campground round out the nearby private inventory, with a mix of hookups, tent space, and river or pond frontage. Public camping in the region comes from Caribou-Targhee National Forest, Bureau of Land Management land along the Snake River, and county-managed sites. Most public sites are seasonal and range from developed loops with hookups to primitive dispersed camping.

Private RV parks in and around Rigby, including Yellowstone Lakeside RV Park and Campground, Snake River Hideout, Wakeside Lake RV Park, Idaho Sky RV Resort, and Snake River RV Park And Campground, take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. For summer weekends and any trip overlapping a Yellowstone or Teton visit, book several months out. Caribou-Targhee National Forest campgrounds are reserved through Recreation.gov on a six-month rolling window. Egin Lakes Campground at the St. Anthony Sand Dunes also uses Recreation.gov for its reservable sites, with the remainder first-come, first-served. Idaho state parks in the broader region use the Idaho State Parks reservation system. Dispersed camping on Forest Service and BLM land is free and allows stays of up to 14 days at one spot, subject to current fire restrictions.
