North Bingham County Park — Attraction in Idaho

Not grand, not bland. Small, sweet, and hidden away, this green little gem in the rough has a lot going for it. I did not do the camping area, but I did explore most of the grounds. As of July 2022, the bathrooms were quaint but well maintained. The pavilions are spread out, giving large groups the ease of not being in each other's hair. The lawns were well maintained and groomed for disc golf. Lots of sunny and shady spots to rest alike. The trees are mostly mature, providing children with climbing opportunities. What I like best was the river access for small boats. That part of Shelley is a gem and needs to remain simple. I saw the game wardens come through and they were super nice with an angler coming in.

If you plan on having an event at this park read the fine disclaimer lines. And definitely don't expect to get any of your...

We have stayed at the North Bingham County Park several times the previous year and were very happy with our stay. But this last stay a week ago was not so good. Every morning the sprinklers were on and our rugs and mats were wet. Even between the RV spaces there was water an inch deep. The morning that we left (Tueday) which was early, we were wet from feet to knees with spraying water and puddles of water. Can't the watering at least between the RV's be done at 11PM or midnight instead of 5 AM or 6 AM in the morning? The trip to the rest room was rather challenging to avoid the water as well. Like I said, last year we stayed 7 or 8 nights and did not run into this problem. What...
