Camping at Curlew Campground near Pocatello

Public campground · Pocatello · 13 campsites · 1 group

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

About this campground

The landscape here is wide open sagebrush and mowed lawn with very little natural shade, so plan for sun and wind exposure in warmer months. Stone Reservoir is a key focal point for wildlife viewing ducks such as redhead, ring-necked, canvasback and lesser scaup are often seen near the shore, and fall and winter bring geese and other migratory species but note that the reservoir is closed to all watercraft to prevent the spread of invasive species, so boating is not an option.

“The new camp host is incredible. They have implemented improvements to keep the campground green and clean. The campground is definitely making a comeback, and I would recommend it to anyone.”

Richard C 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“The attendant was friendly and is doing a great job maintaining and sprucing up this older camp ground. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely return again when in the area. ”

How far ahead to book Curlew Campground

For May weekends, book about 61 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 21 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least
May21 days ahead61 days ahead15 days ahead51 days ahead
June24 days ahead61 days ahead35 days ahead89 days ahead
July18 days ahead58 days ahead31 days ahead124 days ahead
August17 days ahead38 days ahead44 days ahead143 days ahead
September10 days ahead30 days ahead31 days ahead49 days ahead

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 (959 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.
