Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation reservations were previously made through Reserve America. Our new system is smartphone-friendly and is simple to navigate with a statewide parks map. It resembles modern reservation systems for hotels or airlines. Prices may drop during low demand periods and go up when demand is highest. The price adjustments help keep camping rates low during lower-demand time with the higher rates offsetting the lower fees. Learn more about the system launch in our press release. Please keep in mind that camping fees fund Idaho State Parks. We look forward to see you!
The Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation (IDPR) manages 30 State Parks in Idaho which covers 60,000 acres of land. Many of the parks have reserved camping facilities available, but the Idaho State Parks experience goes well beyond a standard campsite. There are more than 2,500 overnight campsites, cabins, yurts and group facilities within Idaho State Parks. Close to 200 full-time staff members, over 300 seasonal workers and hundreds of volunteers all work together to provide customer-service based, unique experiences at the most scenic geographical locations across the state.
