Idaho State Parks Reservation Policies

A non-transferable/non-refundable Transaction Fee of $10.00 for individual campsites, yurts, and facilities, and $25.00 for group camps and facilities will be assessed for each reservation.

 

Payment in full is required to confirm all reservations (additional vehicle fees are collected at the park).  Payment by credit or debit card will include a 3% non-refundable service fee. Payment in full will be processed immediately, allowing reservations to be confirmed at the time they are made. Payments by check or money order must arrive within 14 days of the date the reservation was processed. Reservations will remain unconfirmed until payment has been received. Reservations for which payment is not received within 14 days will be cancelled. Payment by check or money order is not an option for reservations made fewer than 21 days prior to arrival.

 

All use fees are subject to price paid at time of reservation / payment.

 

Changes to reservation dates, where no dates of stay involved in the original reservation are the same as the dates of stay for the resulting reservation, will require a cancellation of the original reservation and the booking of a new reservation with applicable service fees.

 

If circumstances prevent check-in on the scheduled arrival day, campers are requested to notify the park of a change in schedule. Depending on when notification is given, a first night’s use fee may be charged.

 

Reservations made for stays greater than one night and booked right on the nine month window so as to have a departure date that exceeds the nine month window will be frozen for 18 days.  During this freeze no changes may be made to the reservation, this includes the ability to cancel the reservation.  Changes and cancellations may be made to the reservation after the 18 day freeze, all standard reservation policies, fees and rules will apply at time of change.

 

In addition to the $10 non-refundable Transaction Fee, a Cancellation Fee of $10.00 will be deducted from the refund given. Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance of the scheduled arrival time may also require the forfeiture of the first night’s camping fee.

Cancellations that occur twenty-one (21) or fewer calendar days prior to arrival, will be assessed a cancellation fee equal to the first night or daily facility usage fees (base rate).  Cancellations that occur more than twenty-one (21) calendar days prior to arrival will be assessed a cancellation charge of fifty dollars ($50.00).

 

The site will be held until check-out time on the day following scheduled arrival. Reservation holders failing to cancel a reservation or failing to notify the park of a late arrival will be considered “no-shows.” The reservation will be cancelled at that time and all fees paid will be forfeited.

 

Use fees allow for one vehicle per reservation for the length of stay. All additional vehicles will be charged the motor vehicle entry fee of $7 per vehicle per day payable at the park.  Extra vehicle parking is limited. Please check with local park staff on availability and limitations.

 

A maximum of 8 people are allowed to occupy an individual site and 16 people on a companion camping site. Exceptions may be granted if the occupants comprise a single-family group of adults and minor children less than 18 years of age.

 

Where space permits, one camping unit per individual site is allowed. A camping unit is considered to be one RV and/or two tents or any combination not to exceed one RV and two tents per individual site. Two camping units may occupy a companion site; however, two RV’s will not fit on all companion sites. Please check the site details for maximum widths.

 

Refunds will be processed using the original method of payment whenever possible. If paid by credit card, the original account will be credited electronically. If paid by cash, check or money order, limited refunds may be provided in cash at the park, or the refund may be provided by check (via mail) from the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation, or in the form of a voucher that may be used to pay for future stays and associated fees.
