Camping at Riverside (Id - Targhee)

Public campground · 34 campsites · 1 group

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Riverside Campground sits on the banks of the Henry's Fork of the Snake River, about 15 miles north of Ashton, Idaho, reached by a short one-mile turnoff off Highway 20. The site sits at roughly 6,200 feet amid a mix of lodgepole pines and stands of aspen, with summer wildflowers brightening the river flats; moose and deer are commonly seen in the area.

“A quiet campground with very clean restrooms and a superb camp host. Close to fantastic fishing and Harriman Park. ”

Amy L 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Absolutely loved the beauty and tranquility of our campsite. We were impressed with how quiet it was even with numerous other campers in the site.”

Kerry W 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“The campground is well maintained. It has very beautiful views. The camp sites are far away from each other that you feel all alone in the forest. It was peaceful and quiet. The fishing is excellent! The price is reasonable. It is one of my favorite campgrounds.”

How far ahead to book Riverside (Id - Targhee)

For July weekends, book about 154 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 51 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (8,427 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
