looking for a state park

We will be driving up from Phoenix and staying in Yellowstone N.P. at the end of August. Our first night will be at Lee%26#39;s Ferry in AZ, and we are looking for a state park in Idaho for the second night. Don%26#39;t want to spend all day driving, and don%26#39;t want to get in at dark. We are travelling in an Aliner popup camper. Don%26#39;t need electricity or hookups. I%26#39;ve heard you folks have some great state parks and I wonder what you recommend.

Assuming you%26#39;re coming up I-15, there isn%26#39;t a lot to be recommended along that stretch of road (for some reason, the feds ran the interstates through the nastiest parts of the state). Craters of the Moon national monument is awesome, as is the Redfish Lake area (and the Sawtooths and White Clouds in general). However, I%26#39;d say both are too far out of your way.

I don%26#39;t want to misguide you. So I%26#39;m giving a link. Please visit that link. It might be helpful for your plan. http://parksandrecreation.idaho.gov/




When you get to Idaho Falls on I-15, you%26#39;re going to take Hwy 20 North to get to Yellowstone. Try Harriman State Park just north of Warm River (or stay at Warm River, it%26#39;s got a very nice campground - make reservations early, like now).



Have a great trip!
