    beautiful glamping tent was fantastic…read more we will definitely be doing that again here rwal soon

    I CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW THE CAMP HOST WAS SO VERY RUDE! The grounds were fine, but the incident…read morethat occurred at Juniper Campground in Ririe, Idaho, on the evening of Saturday, September 13, 2025 left a very bitter taste in our mouths about the trip. What was intended to be a joyful family outing turned into a distressing experience due to the conduct of the camp host. My father-in-law and his wife had made a reservation at Juniper Campground for the weekend and invited my family to join them--myself, my two sons, and our grandchildren. We were all excited to spend quality time together and to try out our newly purchased travel trailers. As first-time trailer owners, this was meant to be a fun and educational experience before the camping season ended. Unfortunately, I had previously purchased concert tickets for an event at Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls scheduled for Saturday evening. My sons and I decided to briefly leave the campground to attend the concert and return afterward. We left in the early evening and returned around 10:20 PM. Upon arrival, we found the second entry gate--through which we had originally entered--locked with a padlock. We then drove to the first gate, which had rising arms and red LED lights, but it did not respond. I exited the vehicle to search for an intercom or manual override, but found none. While attempting to look up a contact number, a white truck with an orange cone in the back approached rapidly. The driver, who identified himself as the camp host, immediately confronted me in an aggressive and profane manner. He shouted, "What the hell are you doing at my gate?" I calmly explained that we were campers returning from a concert and were trying to re-enter the campground. He responded with hostility, saying, "The gates are locked at 10 PM. Didn't you read the rules?" I replied that we had not received any rules, as my 78-year-old father-in-law had checked in first and inadvertently failed to pass them along while we were focused on setting up our trailers. The host continued to berate me, accusing me of lying and using profanity such as "Bullsh*t, everybody receives the rules." When asked for our campsite number, I was momentarily unsure, as my father-in-law had directed us to our spot upon arrival. While I searched for the information, the host continued to question our motives, saying, "Why are you leaving and returning to the campsite this time of night?" I explained our concert plans, only to be met with further disbelief and ridicule. He mocked my Van Halen t-shirt and claimed, "Nobody goes camping to leave for a concert," and "Those bands sucked. The last time I saw Van Halen was in 1979." At this point, I attempted to clarify our situation, but the host warned me that if I raised my voice, he would not allow us back into the campground. After locating a screenshot of our reservation details, I showed it to him. He finally allowed us entry and handed me a printed copy of the rules, stating, "Next time, read the rules." This interaction left me feeling humiliated, belittled, and treated as though I were a criminal. The camp host's behavior was not only unprofessional but bordered on harassment. I understand the importance of rules and quiet hours, but they should be enforced with courtesy and respect--not hostility and profanity. I am deeply disappointed by this experience and will not be returning to Juniper Campground. I'm leaving this review to ensure others are aware of the treatment we received. Guests deserve to feel safe and welcomed--not intimidated or verbally abused.

    First off, not sure why people are so harsh about this place. This is one of the only parks with…read morenice grass and trees which is not an easy find in this part of the state. There are some long term rvers but not that many. The prices is very good and you have lots of choices of types of sites. The place was well manicured as far as the grounds and we were able to park on a grass area which was awesome for our dogs and well appreciated. The bathrooms are definitely outdated but they were clean when we were there. It is in an industrial area but once in the park you can't tell. There is no access to the river from the park however you can ride a bike a short distance to the river walk which is so beautiful day and night. We never tried the pool so not sure how that rates but there were plenty of people using it. I had limited interaction with staff but what I did have was pleasant. I did ask if our spot was shady and she said it was which it wasn't. That would be my only complaint. I'm sure if I spoke up I might have got moved but that's on me for not asking to be moved. This is not a luxury park but I would stay again in a heartbeat mainly for the landscape, grass sites and being dog friendly.

    We went over 4th of July & were pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was…read more However, It was right under a cell tower, and after 24 hours there I started getting a migraine & feeling panicky. If EMF's don't bother you, enjoy the convenient location, the fairly clean (old, but acceptable) bathrooms/shower house & full hookups. There's even a small pool the kids enjoyed. We had a tent site & our trailer. The downside was that they didn't turn off the sprinklers, so at 1:30 AM they sprayed the tents, soaking them for 1/2 hour. All in all we enjoyed our trip, but had to go home to recover.
