Upper Coffeepot Campground

One of the most beautiful Forest Service campgrounds in Island Park. It is several miles from busy Highway 20, so it's quieter than other Forest Service campgrounds in the area. Seven of the 15 campsites have electricity (30 and 50 amp). Individual sites do not have water, but there are several water spigots scattered throughout the campground where a person can fill his/her fresh water tank. There is no on-site RV dump. The trail to Coffee Pot Rapids begins just outside the campground gate. There is parking (referred to on signage as "Fisherman's Parking") outside the campground gate. Parking within the campground is for paying campers only. Campers may float down the Henry's Fork on kayaks, tubes, canoes, etc., and take out right in the campground. Those who float down the river

First come first serve with electrical hookups. Boy does this campground get a lot of traffic. There is a parking lot for fisherman, and an exit for all the kayakers, paddleboarders, and floaters. The stay limit is 5 days. The river is beautiful but has leeches. The sites were relatively clean. There were water valves evenly dispersed through out the campground. Restrooms are drop down, and recently emptied so they don't smell that bad yet. The campground was extremely busy. People came and went all day looking for spots. We even had people knock asking when we were leaving. So keep that in mind. That combined with everybody getting out of the river in the middle of the campground made it so busy.

I took the river trail and it is absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend it for anyone visiting Island Park. It's a very easy hike, you're by the river pretty much the entire time. Watch for moose!

We stayed just one night, but it was the most lovely spot we stayed in our 2000 mile drive trip. We arrived in the late afternoon and there were several spots to choose from, but I expect it could be harder earlier in the summer or on a weekend. There's a trail along the river. I didn't take a chance on putting my kayak in since I didn't have the required Idaho invasive species permit, but I wanted to!

very beautiful campground. Only has 16 sites and very clean and quiet. I had site #6 and used a tent. there is no power outlet on this site #. I was less than 100 feet from the Henry river.
