Twin Bridges Park

By the time we arrived here, I was feeling a bit like Goldilocks, but we had pretty much decided we would stay unless it was truly horrible, which it was not. There are two entrances to the park; if approaching from the south, go to the second entrance, which is the main entrance. Although it is close to the Snake River, I do not know what the appeal would be to stay more than one night which is what we were doing while en-route to Grand Teton NP. Primitive campground (no water) with 31 sites, no reservations but no problem on a Sunday night in July. Each driveway is gravel; site T27 could accommodate an RV much larger than our 17-foot van. Large metal picnic table situated on a concrete pad, a garbage can, and a fire pit completed the site. Some of the sites were close together with no privacy to separate them; fortunately, there were many vacant spots so this was not an issue. Lots of road noise but there were sites tucked further back that would likely be quieter. Pit toilets only and they were reasonable. Hand sanitizer dispensers were a good idea but every single one was empty. Overflowing dumpster, due likely to the holiday weekend (we were there on Sunday after the 4th). Grass and weeds were a bit overgrown in the sites but not too terrible. Lots of cottonwood trees that were shedding their “snow” all around; thankfully we don’t have allergies. Interesting (and antiquated) payment system. Cash or check only. If paying cash, you must fold each individual bill into a tiny rectangle and then push it through the slot with the metal pusher that was attached. Might be fun for a kid to do! The price of$10 was just about right for this place.

Spent the night here on our return home. Clean, spacious and very functional. The campground is off a traveled road but the traffic quiets down after dark. Some big rigs do run during the night. Each site is spacious with a picnic table and fire ring. Some sites are pull thrus. Pit toilets are clean and could not find any water nearby. It is on the river and fisherman are around during the day. Some campsites are close to some beaver resident wetlands. Overalll a good place and worth a visit.

A decently lively county park set beside the Snake River. First come, first serve. Self pay station with a $5/night or 5 nights for $15.00 (God, I love a 'deal'). 5 night stay is the posted max, with a '30 day out' policy. However, we were the only over-nighters in the park for the majority of our stay and saw very little in the way of 'patrol'. You may be able to squeak in an extra night or two. The park touts an older style playground, a few different sets of toilets, and a water spigot as well 2 boat ramps. There are no hook-ups and no dump station, but there is a dumpster for trash and you could re-fill your fresh tank at the spigot if needed.

The park is 'big rig' accessible, but the roads within the park are a little squirrely. In addition, the main entrance is arched by sign proudly proclaim 'Twin Bridges Co Park', which could cause some ruckus for taller rigs. But, you're in luck! There is another entrance just a few hundred feet down the road (unmarked- to the left of the main entrance if looking at it from the road) without scary air conditioner eating arches.

The sites are well spaced apart and mostly gravel based. However, many of them look to have been 'abused' and the grass plots have been turned to dirt. No sites have a view of the river. The park is also surprisingly busy with families enjoying campfires, fishing enthusiasts, and hunters parking to go kill some stuff on nearby BLM land. Not like NYC busy, but pretty busy for a county park located in the midst of not much. A bit of road noise can be heard, but it's distant and calming.

Conveniently located between Tetons/Yellowstone and Idaho Falls amongst pretty much nothing else, this park is a great place to get a little work done before driving out for adventures.
