Construction Began on Eagle Island Campground and Related Park Improvements in Fall 2023

In mid-October 2023, crews broke ground on the new Eagle Island State Park Campground. This project has been part of the Eagle Island Master Plan for over 20 years, and we at Idaho Parks and Recreation are incredibly excited to offer it to the public! As with all construction projects, this will come with changes – some temporary, some permanent.  

Please note: This campground will function the same as all Idaho State Park Campgrounds and stays will be limited to 14 consecutive days in a 30 day period.

Basic Project Info:

  • 50-site campground with full water and electrical hookups for RVs.
  • A second recreational pond will be built.
  • The Park will also receive a new main water supply and a sanitary sewer system, alleviating numerous problems experienced in recent years.
  • The campground is slated to open to the public in 2025

Attention Park Visitors Temporary Changes:

  • We plan to keep the main entrance operational for most of the year-long project with short-term switches to the Hatchery entrance as required for construction and safety.
  • Please keep out of the field where crews are working. 
  • Adhere to trail closure signs throughout the construction process.
  • Closed areas will reopen as they are completed. Plan ahead with                     This Updated Map
  • The shop road/horse trailer access road is currently closed but will reopen when it is safe to do so. We ask that horse trailers please use our overflow gravel parking lot for the time being

Campground History:

  • A second pond and a campground was part of the original Eagle Island Master Plan (developed in the early 2000s).
  • Funding for this project comes, in part, from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, therefore we will be working with the National Park Service (NPS) on this project as they are the distributers of the funding source.
  • IDPR will also be working with the State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO) to preserve the on-site historic buildings.
  • In conjunction with both NPS and SHPO, IDPR will develop an educational and interpretive component of the park. 

For more information about the partnership with NPS and SHPO, you may read the Memorandum of Understanding for this project here.
