Campgrounds near St. Anthony, Idaho
St. Anthony sits on the Henry's Fork of the Snake River in eastern Idaho, about 10 miles northeast of Rexburg on US-20. The town is the staging area for the St. Anthony Sand Dunes, a 10,600-acre BLM recreation area of shifting white quartz sand with dunes up to 400 feet high. RV travelers use St. Anthony as a base for the dunes, and as a stopover on the drive between Idaho Falls, Island Park, West Yellowstone, and the Tetons.
Private RV parks close to the dunes and town include Sand Hills Resort, Sugar RV Park, Idaho Sky RV Resort, Wakeside Lake RV Park, and Jolley Camper RV and Cottages. These properties typically offer full or partial hookups, pull-through sites for larger rigs, and quick access to Salem Highway and the dune access roads.
Public camping is centered at Egin Lakes Campground on the east edge of the dunes, run by the Bureau of Land Management. The area is a working OHV destination, so expect ATV trailers, sand rails, and dune buggies to be part of the scene at most nearby campgrounds.
Things to do near St. Anthony
The main draw is off-highway vehicle riding on the St. Anthony Sand Dunes. The area is known for Deadhorse Bowl, a sand bowl roughly a mile in circumference and 400 feet deep, plus long open riding zones popular with ATVs, side-by-sides, and sand rails. Hikers, equestrians, and wildlife watchers also use the dunes, and the wider recreation area supports one of the largest wintering elk herds in the United States.
St. Anthony also works as a hub for regional day trips. Yellowstone's west entrance is reachable via US-20 through Island Park, Grand Teton National Park and Jackson lie to the east over Teton Pass, and Henry's Fork offers trout fishing and river access closer to town.

Seasonal patterns and closures

December - February
28° / 14°F 31 mmFreezing and snowy; big dunes closed for wintering elk
The riding season on the dunes is shaped by federal closures protecting wintering wildlife. The west side of the St. Anthony Sand Dunes, west of Egin Lakes Campground (the big dunes), is closed from January 1 through sunrise on April 1. The area south of Egin-Hamer Road closes on the same dates, while lands north of Egin-Hamer Road stay closed through the end of April and reopen at sunrise on May 1. The smaller dunes east of Egin Lakes Campground to the Red Road are open year-round but are usually covered in snow by January 1.
Summer brings dry heat and sand-surface temperatures over 100 degrees, so most riders shift to early morning and evening sessions. The BLM lists spring through fall as the best time to visit.
Private RV parks tied to dune traffic often follow a similar seasonal rhythm, with peak demand from spring opening through late September and reduced services in winter.

How to book campgrounds near St. Anthony
Public camping at Egin Lakes Campground is a mix of reservable and first-come, first-served sites. Of the 48 sites, 26 can be reserved through Recreation.gov on a 14-day rolling window, and the remaining 22 are first come, first served. The campground has electrical service at every site, potable water hydrants, vault restrooms, and an RV dump station.
Private parks in the area, including Sand Hills Resort, Sugar RV Park, Idaho Sky RV Resort, Wakeside Lake RV Park, and Jolley Camper RV and Cottages, are booked directly with the property or through third-party RV booking platforms. Book well ahead for holiday weekends and the peak spring dune season, when riders from across the West converge on the area and hookup sites fill quickly.
What to expect on-site
Expect a sand-country environment. The dunes sit at about 4,900 feet elevation on the Snake River Plain, and blowing sand, wind, and dry air are routine. RVers should plan to rinse gear, and tow-vehicle air filters take a beating during long stays.
BLM regulations require an 8-foot whip mast with a brightly colored flag on every OHV, a valid Idaho OHV sticker (or out-of-state equivalent), spark arrestors and mufflers, and helmets for all riders under 18. Motorized travel is limited to open sand or designated routes, and glass containers are prohibited.
Cell coverage in town is reliable; on the dunes it is spotty. Fuel, groceries, and OHV parts are available in St. Anthony and Rexburg, and law enforcement, EMS, and Idaho Air Rescue coordinate out of the contact station at Egin Lakes.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near St. Anthony, ID
How much does it cost to rent an RV in St. Anthony, ID?
RV rental in St. Anthony is one of the best values in eastern Idaho, especially compared to gateway towns like West Yellowstone or Jackson Hole. On RVezy, expect roughly $90 to $175 per night for a travel trailer, $150 to $250 for a Class C motorhome, and $200 to $350 for a Class A or toy hauler that can carry your ATVs to the Sand Dunes. Hosts set their own nightly pricing, and many listings offer weekly or monthly discounts. For a cheap RV rental in St. Anthony, book mid-week stays in May or late September when dune traffic dips, and use the price filter to sort by your budget. Pro tip: toy haulers are a smart pick here since they double as garage and bunkhouse.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=St.%20Anthony%2C%20IdahoDo I need a special license to rent an RV in St. Anthony, Idaho?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in St. Anthony. Idaho follows federal Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act standards, so a standard Class D license covers virtually every motorhome and trailer on RVezy because they fall under the 26,001-pound Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) threshold. No Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or special RV endorsement is required for personal-use rentals. To book on RVezy you generally need to be 25 or older with a valid license, and the platform handles ID verification during checkout. Visiting from overseas? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) and pair it with your home license, and you're ready for the Sand Dunes.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection or coverage do I get when I rent an RV in St. Anthony?
Every St. Anthony RV rental booked through RVezy comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance included, so you can focus on the dunes instead of the what-ifs. The protection plan covers accidental damage to the vehicle up to the plan limits, giving you real financial peace of mind. During checkout you choose from different protection tiers based on how much coverage you want, and the choice is yours, not the host's. Roadside assistance is bundled in at no extra cost, which matters out here where cell signal can fade between St. Anthony and Island Park. Pro tip: pick a higher tier if you're towing a toy hauler full of ATVs.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my St. Anthony RV trip changes?
Booking your St. Anthony RV trip is low-risk because RVezy, not individual hosts, sets the cancellation policy across the platform. That means consistent rules whether you're renting a campervan for a Yellowstone loop or a toy hauler for the Sand Dunes. Every booking includes a money-back grace period right after you confirm, and refund eligibility after that depends on how far out your trip is and the cancellation tier that applies to your booking. You can review the full policy details on RVezy's Help Center before and during checkout. Pro tip: message your host early if plans wobble, hosts often help shift dates rather than cancel outright.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a St. Anthony RV trip?
Yes, a pet-friendly RV rental in St. Anthony is easy to find, just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see listings where dogs are welcome. Many hosts allow pets, sometimes with a small cleaning fee, and the area is a dream for dog owners: leashed pups can roam the open sand at the St. Anthony Sand Dunes Recreation Area, splash in the Henry's Fork of the Snake River, and join you at the Egin Lakes day-use area. Local campgrounds, including Sand Hills Resort and Idaho Dunes RV Park, generally allow dogs on leash. Pro tip: pack booties, the white quartz sand gets blazing hot in July afternoons and can burn paws.
blm.gov/visit/st-anthony-sand-dunesCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in St. Anthony?
Yes, RV delivery in St. Anthony is offered by many RVezy hosts and it's a game-changer if it's your first time renting an RV. Filter by Delivery on the search page and you'll see hosts who will tow the rig straight to Egin Lakes, Sand Hills Resort, Idaho Dunes RV Park, or even a driveway in nearby Rexburg. They'll level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system before handing over the keys. Delivery fees usually scale with distance from the host's home base, so picking a host near Rexburg or Idaho Falls keeps costs down. Pro tip: ask about a park-and-stay setup so you never have to tow the rig yourself.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=St.%20Anthony%2C%20IdahoHow far can I drive on a St. Anthony RV trip?
You're perfectly positioned for an epic St. Anthony RV trip because the region's biggest attractions are all within a half-day's drive. West Yellowstone sits about 70 miles northeast on US-20, Grand Teton National Park is roughly 90 miles east, Jackson, Wyoming is about 110 miles, Craters of the Moon National Monument is around 110 miles southwest, and Idaho Falls is just 35 miles south. Each RVezy host sets their own mileage policy, with daily allowances commonly between 100 and 150 miles and some listings offering RV rental with unlimited mileage. Pro tip: if you're planning the Yellowstone and Tetons combo, filter for unlimited mileage upfront to skip overage fees entirely.
nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/westentrance.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near St. Anthony for RV camping?
You've got fantastic options for RV camping in St. Anthony, all built around the Sand Dunes and Henry's Fork. Egin Lakes Campground, run by the Bureau of Land Management 8 miles west of town, has 48 sites (26 reservable on Recreation.gov, 22 first-come first-served) with vault toilets, water hydrants, and a dump station. Idaho Dunes RV Park offers 59-plus full-hookup pull-throughs with 50-amp power and direct dune access. Sand Hills Resort sits right on the dunes with big-rig sites. For a quieter river vibe, Warm River Campground in Targhee National Forest is about 30 minutes northeast. Pro tip: book Egin Lakes the moment your dates are set, summer weekends sell out fast.
recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/15045When is the best time to visit St. Anthony in an RV?
The sweet spot for an RV rental in St. Anthony is mid-April through late September, when most local RV parks are open and the dunes are riding-ready. Summer highs from June to August typically reach the low to mid 80s F with cool nights dropping into the 40s and 50s, great sleeping weather. May and September are shoulder-season gold: smaller crowds, daytime temps in the 60s and 70s, and dunes that aren't blistering. The western big dunes riding area is closed January 1 through sunrise April 1 to protect wintering wildlife, and snow typically blankets the area December through March. Pro tip: late May after the closure lifts is a local favorite, the sand is firm, cool, and crowd-free.
blm.gov/visit/st-anthony-sand-dunesI've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay in St. Anthony?
You'll be in great shape, even if this is your first time renting an RV. Every RVezy host gives a full walkthrough at pickup covering propane, water, sewer, slide-outs, generator, and how to back into a site, and you can message them anytime during your trip with questions. St. Anthony is ideal for beginners because the roads around town and out to Egin Lakes are flat, straight, and lightly trafficked compared to mountain passes. If you'd rather skip towing entirely, choose a host who offers delivery so the motorhome rental in St. Anthony arrives ready to camp. Pro tip: pick a Class C or travel trailer under 25 feet for your first trip, they handle like a big truck.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/categories/360003359793-RentersWhat happens if the RV breaks down during my trip?
You're covered: 24/7 roadside assistance is included with every St. Anthony RV rental on RVezy. If you get a flat near the Sand Dunes, a dead battery at Egin Lakes, or a mechanical hiccup heading up US-20 toward Island Park, one call gets help dispatched. Your host is also a direct lifeline through the RVezy app for any quirks specific to their rig, and RVezy's customer support team is available before, during, and after your trip. Eastern Idaho has solid service providers in Rexburg and Idaho Falls within 35 miles. Pro tip: screenshot the roadside number and your host's contact info before you head into low-signal areas around Mesa Falls or the western dunes.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityCan I take my St. Anthony RV rental into Wyoming or Montana?
Yes, interstate RV travel from St. Anthony is one of the area's biggest perks, and most RVezy hosts welcome it because the iconic loops cross state lines. From St. Anthony you can roll into Wyoming via Teton Pass to Grand Teton and Jackson, or into Montana through West Yellowstone, all on a single trip. Just confirm interstate travel with your host before booking by sending a quick message from the listing. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage doesn't extend there, and cross-border Canada trips require host approval and may not be allowed on every listing. Pro tip: the classic RV road trip from St. Anthony is the Three Park Loop, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Craters of the Moon, in about a week.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat should I budget for fuel on a St. Anthony RV trip?
Fuel is manageable on a St. Anthony RV trip because distances between key stops are short. Expect roughly 8 to 10 miles per gallon (MPG) for a Class A, 10 to 14 MPG for a Class C, and 16 to 20 MPG for a campervan or truck towing a small trailer. Idaho gas prices typically run close to the national average, and you'll find stations in St. Anthony, Rexburg, Ashton, and Island Park. A typical 4-night loop covering the Sand Dunes plus a Yellowstone day trip burns roughly 40 to 70 gallons. Pro tip: fill up in Rexburg before heading into Island Park or West Yellowstone, prices climb noticeably near the park gates.
gasprices.aaa.com/state-gas-price-averages/How far in advance should I book a campground near St. Anthony?
Lock in campgrounds early, the popular ones near St. Anthony book out fast. Egin Lakes Campground reservations are available on Recreation.gov, and summer weekends (especially Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day) typically fill quickly after release. Idaho Dunes RV Park and Sand Hills Resort take reservations directly through their websites and also fill weeks ahead for major dune events. For Yellowstone-area campgrounds connected to your road trip, plan four to six months out. Pro tip: if your dates are tight, book your RVezy rental first, then chase a first-come-first-served site, several of Egin Lakes' spots are walk-up only and turn over Sunday mornings.
recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/15045What are the driving conditions like around St. Anthony?
Driving around St. Anthony is some of the easiest RV territory in the Rockies, with flat, open farmland roads, gentle grades, and minimal traffic. US-20 is a wide divided highway connecting you to Rexburg, Ashton, and West Yellowstone. The drive west to Egin Lakes is paved and straightforward. Watch for elk and deer at dawn and dusk, occasional summer thunderstorms with crosswinds, and Teton Pass (WY-22) into Wyoming, which has a 10 percent grade and is best taken slow in a motorhome. Winter brings snow and ice, so most RVezy trips run April through October. Pro tip: use lower gears descending Teton Pass to save your brakes.
511.idaho.gov/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near St. Anthony?
You'll find a healthy mix of amenities at the best campgrounds near St. Anthony. Idaho Dunes RV Park offers full hookups with 50-amp power, hot showers, restrooms, a stocked convenience store, and overflow dry camping. Sand Hills Resort has big-rig pull-throughs with hookups and direct dune access. Egin Lakes Campground is more rustic with vault toilets, water hydrants, an RV dump station, and covered picnic shelters but no electrical hookups, so plan on using your RV's house batteries or generator. Dump stations are also available at a few local stations in town. Pro tip: top off fresh water in St. Anthony town before heading to Egin Lakes, the hydrants there can get busy on weekends.
recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/15045What's included inside a typical St. Anthony RV rental?
St. Anthony RV rentals come well-equipped for life on the dunes and beyond. Expect a kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink; a bathroom with toilet and shower; sleeping for 2 to 8 depending on floorplan; air conditioning and furnace; and seatbelts for everyone traveling. Most listings include a generator, awning, and basic cookware. Many hosts add WiFi hotspots, TVs, solar panels, or a backup camera, perfect for keeping kids happy on the drive to Yellowstone. Toy haulers add a rear garage for ATVs and side-by-sides, which is gold at the Sand Dunes. Pro tip: scan each listing's amenities list and message the host if a specific item like a Starlink or outdoor grill matters to you.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=St.%20Anthony%2C%20IdahoWhat add-ons and options can I get with my RV rental?
RVezy hosts in St. Anthony offer popular add-ons that make your trip dramatically easier. Common extras include delivery and setup, generator use packages, propane top-offs, dump-and-clean services, bedding and kitchen kits, bike racks, and outdoor grills. Pickup and drop-off usually happen at the host's home or your chosen campground at a pre-agreed time, with a thorough walkthrough included. Mileage policies vary by listing, with many offering 100 to 150 free miles per day and some unlimited. Pro tip: bundle delivery plus dump-and-clean and your only job is to show up, ride dunes, and relax.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=St.%20Anthony%2C%20IdahoHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure: you pay through RVezy at booking using a credit or debit card, never directly to the host, which keeps your money protected. A refundable security deposit is held on your card before pickup (amounts vary by RV class) to cover potential incidentals like missing equipment or extra cleaning. As long as you return the rig in the condition you received it, the deposit is released back to you after the trip. Document the RV's condition with photos at pickup and drop-off to keep everything smooth. Pro tip: empty the black and grey tanks at the Egin Lakes or Idaho Dunes RV dump station before returning to avoid a dumping fee.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksDo I need an OHV sticker to ride the St. Anthony Sand Dunes?
Yes, but it's easy: all off-highway vehicles (OHVs) operating in Idaho need a current OHV registration sticker, and non-residents can purchase one through the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation or authorized vendors. There is a day-use fee at Egin Lakes per vehicle. Riders under 18 must wear a helmet under Idaho law, and every OHV at the dunes needs a tall whip mast with a brightly colored flag for visibility in the bowls. Many St. Anthony toy hauler rentals on RVezy come with whips and flags included, just ask. Pro tip: pick up your OHV sticker and flags at the Idaho Dunes RV store on your way in, one stop and you're riding.
