New Campground at Thousand Springs State Park

IDPR is pleased to announce the opening of a new, 50-unit full service RV campground. The new Billingsley Creek Campground places you at the heart of Thousand Springs State Park. From the new campground, you can spend the day exploring the crystal-clear waters of Box Canyon, marvel at the dramatic 60-foot waterfall at Malad Gorge, kayak into Blue Heart Springs, and visit historic Ritter Island for a scenic paddle along the Snake River. Enjoy hiking, fishing, wildlife viewing, and a bike ride on the paved path into the nearby town of Hagerman.

“Billingsley Creek Campground is another step forward in our commitment to providing exceptional outdoor experiences for all visitors,” said Susan Buxton, IDPR Director. “With our easy reservation system and a wide variety of amenities, we make it simple for families, couples, and solo travelers to explore Idaho’s incredible natural landscapes.”
